Joe Ferguson forever

You are the thread starter. This is getting pretty ugly. Maybe you should call the game under the Mercy Rule.

splain... except they generally don't deny their meaning. btw, can't stand them either. It's like lobbing a molotov cocktail into a home and saying "I never thought it would explode". btw, It's "Folsom prison blues" and "Genre"...

I'd vote for Jack Kemp over anyone in the field in 2024. It's called pragmatism and honor.

Nope not the lyrics that are most disturbing. hmmm....what is that logical fallacy called again? These are the lyrics and combined with the video, the meaning is clear. Why deny it? You know both you and him believe it. Got a gun that my granddad gave me They say one day they're gonna round up Well, that ***** might fly in the city, good luck Try that in a small town See how far ya make it down the road Around here, we take care of our own You cross that line, it won't take long For you to find out, I recommend you don't Try that in a small town

I don't think it should be cancelled either. It's free speech still, I think. Just be much more honorable (cough, cough) to own up to the intention of it. plausible deniability. A fav MAGA tactic even when not plausible. trump made a career of it. is it that bad now? haven't been back for a while. Lewiston is still nice.

You know what they call the person who graduates last in his class from the worst foreign med school...?

So filming at a lynching site was meaningless or random? C'mon. You're not that stupid. Why do you and yours use dog whistles instead of just saying what you mean directly. He's saying to blacks, you do this here and we'll shoot your ass, which is actually debatable. Why not just say it? I guess he did with the song and video but when asked about it Aldean denied it. trump has erased any veneer of civility and just come out with outright racist language. Why don't his followers?

yes, there is. You should look harder for it.

So why did trump run with it? They knew it was trash. Just wanted to get to the constitutional crisis stage...true "patriots". but you already know all this.

Another traitor. Wonder what Smith will charge him with. Hopefully sedition. yup, I was editing as you typed!

trump believed he did or at least convinced a majority of MAGA morons to believe it.. He was president. What about that do you not understand? How do you defend what he himself said multiple times?

Yes, trump describes the plan here. He's the leader of the party and was sitting prez for crying out loud

Sure, trump believed the same thing🙃. His conflict with Pence on this matter is extremely well documented.

Frank has explained the plan clearly and repeatedly. You just ignore it. But you are correct in that a civil war would be incredibly bloody and destructive. Yet some here actually seem to want one.

or whisked away on trump's orders to the secret service.

Some serious talent there 😄 great, saves me from searching for testimony to that affect. Worry not your little head tho. Jack Smith clearly has plenty of evidence that will be made public. That'll be huge news that even you can't ignore.

It was a long shot. trump likes those. many have failed even worse especially in his biz ventures eg trump university or trump airlines.. if nothing else, it could serve as a rehearsal for a bigger, "better" insurrection. Would it make you happy if it were successful next time?

as I recall, Jack Kemp was a prominent Republican, even considered for president. Great guy and pretty good QB. Why would a D party loyalist choose his name? It would be analogous to me using the screen name "Beasley".

when I see this image juxtaposed to the images of so many of the short bus insurrectionists, it just reminds me that there were much stronger minds behind this event. stronger but evil. This was meant to dissuade Pence from doing his job, either symbolically or literally. Those morons couldn't spell symbolism. This was well scripted and planned by the same asshats that got trump elected in the first place including some who still sit in the the people house in DC. The fake electors scheme was the next orchestrated step. And the far right calls us "useful idiots".. .

Well written. But you should have aimed it at yourself. Which side here acts the victims? Which side here condones political violence? Which side here apologizes for bad acts and bad people?

He knows his audience well. He's selling to them just like trump is selling to you. He tells them what they want to hear and they eat it up. Sadly there are many of them as sampled here. For anyone to suggest this wasn't a willfull reference to the lynching is intellectually dishonest but we all know that's par for the course here. Simple but important questions get ignored but answered by your silence. Who thinks that the fake electors scheme was ok if it resulted in trump becoming prez? As I stated earlier, why is it so difficult to be forthright about opinions you clearly hold strongly but won't publicly admit. Aldean is doing the same thing. And it's deplorable.

Sadly it doesn't but it should.

the video is shot at a Tenn courthouse where a lynching occurred. See above. Seems a not so veiled threat.

Had to turn it off when he starts hawking goldco. Did he mention the courthouse?

What a coincidence: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/the-story-of-the-lynching-site-where-jason-aldean-filmed-a-music-video/ar-AA1e59Wt The Tennessee native has faced backlash in recent days for filming the music video at the site of Choate’s lynching, as well as lyrics that critics say evoke vigilantism and promote gun violence. The video, which shows a large U.S. flag hanging from the courthouse where Choate was lynched, was removed from CMT’s rotation in response to the criticism. Aldean denounced the allegations of “releasing a pro-lynching song” in a statement posted to Twitteron Tuesday. “These references are not only meritless, but dangerous,” Aldean wrote. “There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it — and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage — and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music — this one goes too far.”
