It eats them up that democrats are using “freedom” as their buzzword now.
Reclaim all the bling. Slap an American flag and pride or feminism redo of the don’t tread on me flag in your truck bed at the same time, it’ll confuse them.
I already do. I fly an American flag and have a black power fist sign hanging in my window. I also have a don’t tread on me flag on the wall in my office. I took the latter down because I didn’t want to mislead people into thinking I have opinions I don’t, but maybe I will put it back up.
Put an LGBTQ+ flag next to it and try to count all of the confused stares.
Put the snek and slogan on a pride flag!
We should start wrapping every conceivable thing in American flags with some special dog whistle to how small Trump’s crowds are in place of the stars.
I love how they’re trying to fire back at the left using “weird”. They just can’t grasp that we don’t care. Most of us are proudly weird.
It’s really getting to them and you love to see if.
We’re not afraid to be individuals. Republicans want to just be clones of each other.
It’s so weird.
I want Harris’s campaign to have red hats for sale. Have white and blue as well.
Walz’s “Mind Your Own Damn Business” camo hat is a hit in rural areas. The first run sold out really fast.
Has his campaign ever gotten a license to use a song prior to using it? At some point the recording industry as a whole should ask for an injunction against them.
All they have is Kid Rock’s stuff and Hulk Hogan’s Christmas album so no, they haven’t used anything they have a license for.
Ted Nugent, Kayne
These people https://www.xxlmag.com/rappers-support-donald-trump-2023/
Potential:
Lil Wayne - Trump pardoned him
Ice Cube - Worked on the Trump campaign until it caused bad press but justified it by saying Black people have to work with Republicans if they want equality
Drake - they share opinions on minors
After the DNC I don’t think Lil Wayne is an option 😂
Why? I can’t find anything about him there
Most recent news was him canceling a show then before that performing at the Illinois State Fair
I think he’s confusing lil Jon and lil Wayne.
Is it significant, statistically or otherwise, that 2/5ths of the named people (not counting the linked list b/c I’m lazy) are either certifiably insane or confirmed pederasts? (both in one case?)
If you told me that Kennedy shared his brain worm with Kanye, I’d not be the least surprised: “yeah, that tracks.”
This is basically the makeup of the modern republican party. They know their own.
Hey, don’t forget about the Hulkster’s rock album he made with his Wrestling Boot Band!
And Ted Nugent’s backlog.
The one he used to get out of military service?
I mean they probably have “Hulkster in Heaven” too!
My understanding is that a generic public music performance licence generally covers the use of pretty much any song played in any venue for any reason. I wouldn’t doubt they purchased such a licence because it’s fairly cheap.
However, there is legal precedent that tying the artist to a message they don’t like isn’t part of that general public performance licence. It’s recommended that, if the event is going to be religious or political, the organizers get confirmation from the artist that they’re alright with it to avoid a lawsuit. I highly doubt they’re doing this.
Edit: apparently the song was used in a video and not just played at a rally. That’s way different. They definitely just stole the song
i don’t understand how they produce a video without getting the necessary licenses first. like i don’t get it
People saw it and talked about it, then they got into a legal spat and people talked about it.
Double exposure.
Remember that Trump doesn’t care whether you love him or hate him, he just wants you talking about him.
His cultist administration is used to breaking the law.
Politicians (even Trump sadly) control regulatory agencies and assign judges. Do you really think they’d play by regular people’s rules?
They don’t get it either
They have that maga rapper idiot. Why don’t they want to use the music of their people? Is it all terrible imbecile noise? Wonder why?
Edit I didn’t realize how many notable terrible maga rappers there were. I was referring to Forgiato Blow.
Bawitdaba
Dabangdabang
Are you guys just listing brands on Amazon?
Diggy said the boogie
E:diggy, not doggy
That song is the only one where I really wish that moron would have a change of heart. It’s catchy and high energy and would work well for karaoke and a dead crowd. It’s not good, but it’s fucking fun and nostalgic.
But he’s an active shitbag. I will not support a living shitbag if I know about their shitbaggery. I’ll make an exception only if they’re not actively engaging in shitbaggery any longer.
I hope his homey ends up in county in cell block 6 while being processed for the pen.
Who? (Legit question)
Kanye West is the most high profile rapper I can think of associated with the MAGA movement. Most of his billions comes from apparel, but most of his fame is due to his music.
I was a huge fan until his crazy heel turn a few years back.
I’m surprised they haven’t used something like Gold Digger, either because of the literal use of the word gold (which Trump loves) or as a sexist jab at Harris.
Shhh don’t give them ideas. I’m enjoying how bad they are this time around
Ah yes, it is lovely to see.
i guess they could put Gold Digger in a campaign ad?
With Yeezus, it’s pretty clear he’s profoundly mentally ill. He’s been abusing NO2 and being exploited by doctors, and it’s rotting his brain.
It would make actual sense to put him in conservatorship - he’s bought and destroyed several multi billion dollar homes in strange and disturbed ways.
I’m pretty sure they are talking about Kid Rock, but I could be wrong
Forgiato Blow is his stage name. He’s a god damn riot. In a bad way, but a riot.
“take whatever you can without permission” seems like the kind of thing that would turn “small government” and “people who follow the term commandments” off from a candidate…
Anytime I hear a guy proudly say "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" I can’t help but think that statement gives off rapey vibes. For obvious reasons, I’m not at all surprised that this is essentially Trump’s mantra.
I wouldn’t say proudly, but I do say “easier to ask for forgiveness than permission” semi regularly. But it’s never in the context of like, regular interpersonal relationships. It’s work stuff, usually. I could write a report and beg my superiors for their input and budget for some initiative, or I can just go do the goddamn thing and get it done in a quarter of the time it would take to get the first leadership meeting on the calendar.
Strong Towns is another useful example. They make cool, good, human-centered urban developments. When the mayor or whoever shows up to check it out, they go “wow this is fantastic!” and the organizers THEN say yeah, these are the 70+ local zoning ordinances we broke to make this happen. Then a bunch of nonsense pro-suburbia rules get lifted to enable more cool stuff.
If it were only always used to bypass bureaucracy and do beneficial things.
Downside of that rule is that people or businesses can do a lot of damage if the “forgiveness” has a lower cost than the profits to be had by skipping the permission part.
Yeah there’s a lot of moral/ethical calculus that should be done when attempting to circumvent rules. Unfortunately, people who are looking to circumvent rules are not usually the people who would reliably do that calculus.
Kind of the same thing for political revolution. If you’re willing to go beyond the state apparatus to achieve your ends, are you also going to be dedicated to rule-following after the revolution is done? It’s a tough thing.
I’ve never seen anyone use that phrase in relation to sex or interpersonal relationships.
I met a white guy who said this in relation to cutting his biracial son’s hair, despite knowing the boy’s mom was especially proud of his hair and explicitly said she did not want his hair cut.
Bear in mind, this guy left his wife to take care of their son for 2 years while he "went his own way" and justified it by saying he provided them with ample financial support (he did).
Anyway, long story short he waited until his wife went to see her mother and he shaved the kid’s hair. He told me as he was doing it and I successfully predicted the divorce that proceeded the haircut. Never talked to that guy again because it drove me nuts how he was married to a Black woman and was so absolutely clueless about things of cultural importance.
Did the kid want his hair cut? That seems like the most important consideration and is totally absent.
and they are going to compensate for how they used it so far yeah?
Hell yeah
