Isn't that Rio? He can't even manage to get in the right country.
Right country? Heās not even in the right goddamn hemisphere lol
Same hemisphere, longitudinally, different latitudinally
Ok, so wrong hemisphere.
"he's not even got both hemispheres right"
Yeahā¦ I mean. By convention we typically divide the world in two top to bottom. If you can divide the world in two however you want, arbitrarily, any two places are always in different hypothetical hemispheres. And only places that are literally perfectly opposite each other, cannot be on the same hemisphere.
Western yes. But Brazil is in southern hemisphere. So technically, youāre both correct.
Technically they're both incorrect, we should sacrifice them to that big statue of that stoner guy in Rio.
Rio is also in the southern hemisphere
Buddy I don't think you understand what he meant.
yeah, madonna concert probably
That's exactly what it is. My roommate is visiting family in Rio right now and she sent me photos of that stage from their apartment
Right place, wrong time - this is a Rod Stewart concert photo from 1994
I forgot how popular he was at a point in time.
Idk why Rod Stewart keeps popping up around me. Last week, Young Turks randomly popped into my head at work. 1 or 2 days later, I'm at the grocery store, in the checkout lane, and the song starts playing at the store. And now this. Has to be some sort of message the universe is trying to send me.
I'm 34, so idk why that song would even pop into my head like that. Most I ever heard that song was on a GTA game.
Glad sheās in Brazil, at least people can cry for her there
Fuckoff! and take my angry upvote with you.
Take my imaginary award for being my favorite comment on Reddit today
What about the Argentinians that live in Rio? Cry or no cry?
I'd be ok if Trump runs for office in Brazil
Trump gets a Brazilian; finds only place in body not orange.
I'll trade Bolsonaro & sons for Trump.
Sounds like a bossa nova bandāBolsanaro & the Sons of a Trump.
He knows it's not Jersey. He also knows the people who follow his twitter are dumb as rocks.
He could've posted a picture from Wembley Live Aid in 1985 where you can actually see Freddie Mercury on piano and they still wouldn't notice.
Interestingly, Queen has twice gotten court orders to prevent Trump from using their songs at his rallies. We Are The Champions and We Will Rock You, i think.
Quite frankly, the Queen songlist is a catalogue of brilliant stuff for rallies. Wembly Live Aid is a dictator's wet dream. Thank heavens Freddy turned to good instead of evil.
Republicans are so bad at music. Remember when Paul Ryan was using Rage Against the Machine songs on his campaign? How insane do you have to be to not think those songs are pointed directly at people like himself?
My favorite was Trump dancing to Fortunate Son.
Like... Ok, Captain Bonespurs, that song is LI-TER-AL-LY a protest anthem about you and all the others like you who's connections kept them out of having to serve in Vietnam...
If only there was a Uno switch card that meant a chronic bonespur diagnosis also disqualified you from being Commander In Chief.
Ronald Reagan using Born in the USA š¤£ thinking it was a pro American song š¤£
I Remember a democratic debate in 88 I think, they were asked to name fave song. Dick Gephart said born in the USA. I remember laughing out loud, like dumbass have you listened to this song???
Mellencamp's "Little Pink Houses" too lol
Pat Robertson walking on stage to the music of Queen playing after his NH primary win is forever burned into my brain. Particularly weird considering how much he bashed gay people on that stage.
It is a pro American song, just not their group of Americans.
For the Paul Ryan one, I remember Tom Morello saying something like "that is precisely the machine we've been raging against for __ years."
Followed by all the cultists calling Rage āselloutsā lmao
Iām guessing Cult of Personality is their next theme song. I meanā¦ You Canāt Always Get What You Want?? Talk about on the noseā¦
Or that they use Twisted Sisterās āWeāre Not Gonna Take Itā and then get all shocked and bent out of shape over his politics not being even remotely the same as theirās.
But... but... Dee Snider spoke out against Tipper Gore in congress! He's clearly a bleeding heart Republican!!! /s
Yeah why would a guy who dresses up in drag be against Conservatives
Or that Billy Joe Armstrong had to change a lyric in a live performance before MAGA would realize that American Idiot was about them and not liberals.
No, he changed the line
āIm not a part of a red neck agendaā
To
āIām not a part of the MAGA agendaā
For their live performance NYE on New Year Rockin Eve. And MAGA lost their minds. Like shocker, Green Day doesnāt like you
It's because they can't imagine themselves as being the bad guys that they assume artists that have explicitly come out against policies they support must be on their side.
But they have no reason to worry, because they've got luminaries like Ted Nugent on their side, whose lyrics include things like this:
"Well I don't care if you're just thirteen You look too good to be true...
Jailbait you look so good to me Jailbait won't you set me free"*
I remember this about a class watching dumbo from a bullied kids point of view. Everyone including the bullies wanted dumbo to win and were against his oppressors because they placed themselves in dumbos shoes even tho many of the bullies if they were in the movie would have been the oppressors not the oppressed. Idk what it is but people can just never see themselves as the bad guy, they are always the underdog and everyone else are the bullies
Ahh, Paul Ryan, the one with the idea of capping the government contribution to Medicare, so the ten percent annual increases could be absorbed by seniors on fixed incomes.
When they think American Idiot by Green Day is about the wOkE mOb and not the complete opposite ššš
Trump playing Fortunate Son
Springsteen has had to do the same thing with "Born in the USA.". If you aren't listening to lyrics it sounds like a very patriotic song. Then when you start paying attention it gets much less patriotic.
I disagree with it not being patriotic. It is patriotic to call your country out.
One of my family is a born-again Christian and absolutely adores Hozier's "Take Me To Church". She says it's a beautiful song about how people need to return to church, get down on their knees and worship.
She has clearly not looked at the lyrics properly.
The best version of that song I've heard was a version Bruce did on some talk show a while back. It was just him with an acoustic guitar and he played it in a slowed down bluesy style so you could really hear and feel the lyrics.
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses Uggh!
dah nuhh dah dah nuhh dah dah nuhh
That's the most mind blowing thing along with people who complain that the members have "gone woke" or "become leftists". Prime example of people who just like to listen to the sounds and not actually contemplate the words.
RATM has always been a pro leftist band, from the very beginning their first album in 1992 talking about fighting against eurocentric and whitewashed education in the schoolrooms and the evils of the capitalist systems and cultural imperialism and white supremacists infiltrating the police force. Just mind blowing that people didn't understand it.
Or all the Christians were singing Take Me To Church by Hozier or when Trump was playing Fortunate Son
not notice, not care to look deeper, and/or ultimately not care. outside of the conservative universe, anyone else would be scrutinized, debunked, and shamed for such blantely ignorant chicannery.
i'm really surprised this doesn't bite them in the ass harder than it does.
He also knows a lot of people will respond telling him heās wrong. Turns out as far as the algorithms are concerned, engagement is engagement regardless of the content and being called an idiot by a million people is just as valuable as creating a truly viral post and itās much easier to achieve.
With trumps head photoshopped onto Freddieās body.
Freddie was of Indian descent, so that would never fly with orange grand dragon
I thought he was Iranian.
Edit: I've checked and think I'm at best partially right and you're definitely right!
Yes. His family is Parsi-Indian (Parsi=Persian) who descends from native Iranis that immigrated to India to flee persecution from Iranian Muslims.
Zanzibar.
He is also gay AF, which they also oppose
-edit had to add the name of the band āQueenā is a reference to drag queens and we know how they feel about that
Comment deleted by user
When it came to sex, Freddie liked everything.
I donāt think itās a reference to drag queens. Back in the 70s, gay men sometimes referred to themselves or other gay men as Queen.
His family was ethnically Persian, he was born in Zanzibar because his Zoroastrian ancestors had to flee Iran when the Muslims conquered it, and his family relocated to India. Then he ended up in England,
He said at that rally that he got a larger crowd than Springsteen. In Jersey. He just needed to weave Bon Jovi in there and NJ would fully go to him now!
It's the same reason spam fishing emails are full of errors. It's targeted at idiots
Heād say Freddie came back to earth to support Trump š
āThat guy with the black mustache looks like an illegal immigrant!ā
Roger Stone: liar, or just stupid? My money is on both.
Roger Stone is a lot of things. Most of them very negative. But heās definitely not stupid.
Correct, heās smart enough to know that the GOP core audience is stupid.
He's also smart enough to manipulate Trump and dumb enough to brag about it. He said he could get Trump to say anything he told him by telling Trump that Trump had said it and that it was brilliant.
