I know hidden junk fees – like processing fees on concert tickets – are a pain.

They’re unfair, deceptive, and add up.

That’s why, last week, I called on my Administration to crack down on these fees and put that money back in your pocket.





Seriously, did he listen to his granddaughter bitching she’d have to pay an extra $20 to a Taylor Swift concert and think this is the winning issue? His interns are dumb as all shite thinking this is the issue that’s on the table, especially since concert season is fricking over. They’re just whistling past the graveyard and the asskicking they’re about to receive is 100% deserved.

He's really trying to get out of the 50 cents extra he expects to pay when he goes to see Frank Sinatra.

I have an amazing trick to solve this problem.

Don't go to the concert if it's too expensive.

Oh come on, ask yourself what’s more important: feeding your family or watching Lizzo shake her arse on stage?

While we have bigger problems, I am not going to criticize him for proposing a solution to something that, while fairly minor as far as nuisances go, IS a problem. While we have bigger fish to fry, I’m not going to complain about a small tasty fish that did get fried.

We’re five days away from the midterms. Of my issues as a somewhat frequent concert attendee, that may not make my top 2,000 issues. This was obviously written by an idiot woke intern who hasn’t struggled a day in her life. She (no question a woman wrote it) was just pissed after paying the fee and then tweeted out that idiocy once she got the green light from our retard press secretary.

Inflate your tires.
Buy off brands.
Stop driving SUVs.
Eat your bugs.
No more Vegas trips.
Stop big oil gas price hikes.
State your pronouns.
Get the jab.
Clamping down on ‘misinformation’.
No cash bail for repeat violent criminals…

The adults are in control!!

Like I said, when someone has 99 bad policies and 1 good one, I am going to bash them 99 times for those 99 bad ideas and praise them for the 1 they did right. I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.

With Obama, I criticized Obama for Obamacare while also thinking his lifting of the Cuba embargo was a good idea.

With Trump, I lavished him with praise for much of his foreign policy, his tax plan, and his treatment of admin law, particularly with respect to the navigable waters/waters of the united states issue, but criticized Trump over his acuquiecense to Covid lockdowns, his bump stock ban, some bad appointments to his cabinet, and his incredibly stupid rhetoric that, while good at diverting and dictating media narratives, was often even more destructive than the narratives they were diverting the media from.

Biden has been an almost completely unmitigated disaster, but fixing deceptive pricing with ticketmaster would kinda not suck. It’s nothing worth my vote, but it would be kinda nice.

Regardless if it is the job of the federal government to get involved in such things? We are literally facing a potential food shortage, a nuclear war, tech tyranny but you’re praising this clown for “tackling“ concert fees?

I’m sorry, with the shite show this country is in, that post is fricking delusional. Here are my issues:

Inflation
The economy
Gas prices
Supply chain crisis
Afghanistan
Ukraine and possible escalation to WWIII
Taiwan
Chip shortages
European cold winter
Mutilating kids
Medical tyranny
Freedom of speech
Destruction of schools
Diesel shortages
Civil unrest

How about we correct this before worrying about $20 to see Beyoncé.

I mean, imagine you have a really annoying neighbor. He plays loud music all night, his friends take up all the street parking, there’s always junk in his front yard, he never cleans up after his dog, etc. You wish he’d move somewhere else.

Then, you find out that he cleaned out all the debris from the catch basin on your street.

You still don’t like the guy, but that was a good neighborly thing to do, and you recognize it.

Ticketmaster has essentially been granted a monopoly on concert tickets and has been engaging in seriously deceptive practices that are anti-consumer. It’s worth looking at even if it’s not a pressing issue. The government is big, it should be capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time.

He ain’t wrong. I wouldn’t be upset if Ticketmaster burned to the ground.

How about crack down on taxes so the prices won't be so high in the first place, like on gas.

crime, open border, Chyna cooking up another virus, unconstitutional holding of political prisoners from January 6th fiasco.

I can choose to not buy concert tickets.
