Well, he's quite right, isn't he!?
I didn't need the Boss to tell me that to know it but I appreciate him speaking out. Wish more people had the guts like I don't know our elected officials
Multiple articles of impeachment being filed this soon in a president's term ins unprecedented, the resistance is in congress they're just outnumbered. If Dems swept midterms then we'd see it go straight to vote, but even then without a really solid majority the chances of removal are slim to none without some Republican Defectors, which will not happen.
Annnnnnnd boomers hate Springsteen now.
Countdown to Faux News bashing the "antisemite, American hating, Hamas supporter, communist Springsteen."
Bruce Springsteen is right.
I love Bruce Springsteen, while I don't know what system he thinks is best I have spent a lot of time listening to his song "Shackled and Drawn".
Guess he’ll get arrested when he returns?
The 4D chess of it all is, publicly criticizing Trump now sounds the same as Fox News and MAGA have sounded since Obama took office 15 years ago.
The strategy has always been to declare all these terrible things are already happening and make the public numb to hearing this rhetoric. Then later, when they take office, they can just do those things and the public doesn't know how to react, because half the population was already mentally there. You say "Trump is corrupt! He's destroying the country!" and people just say, "mhm, the president is corrupt, what else is new?" and go back to scrolling social media.
It's the end-game for the Whataboutism strategy that the GOP has been leaning on for decades.
Idk I feel like Bruce has been pretty on point at least for the last few years. A lot of his songs going back decades are very anti-corporate and draw from historic events where greed ruled over morality.
The man, the legend
The Boss
WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO END IT!
Boss
”Beacon of liberty“ is a bit strong when you have a rich history of segregation and slavery for a big portion of the population.
So, you're saying, "why try, because it was never that good anyway" ?
Is that your point or am I misreading it?
Yeah you misread what I meant at least. Springsteen, according to the quote, says the America he sings of has been a beacon of liberty for 250 years, which obviously isn’t an accurate depiction. The vision and ideal was liberty for all and a right to pursuit of happiness, but with some very troubling caveats that put a huge stain on those ideals.
I'm Springsteen is THE Boss, so. ...
But what does Ja Rule think?
Where is Ja!?
Ja Rule Balgruuf is not receiving any visitors.
Also the Sky is blue.
Yeah, and we didn’t start the fire.
What the fuck are you doing to stop it?
Using his reach. What the fuck are you doing to stop it?
More than whining and complaining online
Yeah, and we didn’t start the fire.
It's Springsteen, not Billy Joel.
