Was that the song JD picked when he's romancing the foam?
Trump has clearly decided to throw his donor’s campaign donations at legal fees and settlements so he can play whatever he wants at rallies.
The story isn’t the individual violation. The story is that he’s a rich fuck that has decided to pay to repeatedly break the law.
When the penalty is a fine, it's only illegal for poor people
The story behind the story is that he can do that because he doesn't need to spend those funds on actual campaigning, because he intends to win by massive election fraud and/or massive false accusations of voter fraud (in order to fuck up the certification of the votes) instead of actually getting enough EC votes to win legitimately.
I'm guessing this song was held at a rally or event run by some obscure created-for-purpose llc named like "Texans for Trump MAGA Event 2024 LLC" so that when they're sued the man himself and his campaign is effectively immune from prosecution.
Instead some lackey gets to deal with it and the only money that can be extracted is shared amongst other debtors from all the shit they didn't pay for after the event ended.
That's my speculation, but i'd be amazed if this isn't the way they do it.
Coleman said they were grateful that the judge agreed that it would be overstepping his power at this point in the litigation to order the campaign to take down existing videos.
So is youtube overstepping their power when they strip audio from all those content creators videos, demonetize them, or delist them? Just asking because a judge doesn't feel like he has the right to stop videos with stolen copyrighted media from being distributed so long as it's this fucking guy. Everybody else though? Crippling lawsuits, garnished wages, prison time... you name it.
Lol, gonna be down to kid rock real soon. Maybe they could play some of early stuff when he was a rapper with a flattop fade before he sold out to be trailer trash and afraid of rainbows.
Yeah I was honestly shocked when it turned out like ten years ago that he’s another Kevin Sorbo. I think he was being edgy rather than punk, if that makes sense.
Yeah I was thinking it was joke at first. Then, well, yeah....
this isnt news, this is the trump campaign just doing illegal things regularly without prosecution. SOP
Musicians have gotten sick of him.
Believe me, it's not just musicians
I would say use the Imperial March at this point but they'd get a letter from John Williams's lawyers
Why continue? Why not just sticking to those two artists who like him? Kanye and Kid Rock? Both spaced up beyond belief but (for some arcane reason) with a lot of songs people seem to like?
The presidential race is supposed to get you elected. You won’t be crowned the king of the universe for having the highest count of people you confirmedly pissed off.
I've heard "Happy Birthday" is public domain.
It’s not. Apple owns it
Woops. Not Apple. Warner music group
