I think the author is grasping at straws from two very different events to poorly support his flawed narrative.
quote:

What you're talking about is the Democratic Socialist party, who until the MAGA era were rightly regarded as mainstream moderates; centrist. The 13 hold-outs are the remnants of what used to be called "blue dog Democrats", right-of-center politicians, who unlike Republicans actually have a soul and work for their constituents.

Socialists are not "mainstream moderates, centrist." That's gaslighting nonsense.

I don't get this board's obsession with Michele Obama. Seems like a case of frustrated sexual attraction on par with unrecoited love

The word is unrequited. And no one is sexually attracted to Michelle Obama.

Fake? Bubba a huge chunk of your cult brainwashing was getting easily duped into thinking Trump was a toughguy conservative. Most traditional conservatives knew he wasn’t conservative. He wrapped his self-serving agenda and bigotry in conservatism and evangelical nut christianity put a red hat on that said maga and your lizard brain just melted. That’s how he was taught to capture the southern baw vote while he was just a soft handed New York City pussy who’s never worked in his life. Never drove himself in a car. Never held a hammer in his hand. Silver spooned from the womb. I wasn’t the biggest W Bush fan at the time but at least I knew W could crank a chainsaw. Nothing about Trump says he’s tough or macho. I can’t figure out why maga likes to fancy themselves as macho man bald eagles and monster trucks while licking the loafers of a nyc pussy.

These are the rantings of a person with severe TDS.
Yeah, he needs to get a Nazi tattoo so he can run for office as a democrat.

I wouldn’t call Rihanna a “band” either.

But I also don’t think solo artists with a touring band are a valid comparison to a contrived musical act.

And Rihanna is a pop act. I don’t really give a shite what she does. But metal fans I expect more from.

I didn't call Rihanna a band. My point was that a dude as good as Nuno doesn't have an issue playing for her because he's a professional musician, like so many others that play on stage or in the studio.
All bands and musical acts are contrived. Kiss, Alice Cooper, Maiden, Floyd, etc.
What do you expect from metal fans? They owe you nothing as fans or spectators.
quote:

Maybe not playing metal, but there are absolutely lots of similar acts (I’m not calling them a band) in other musical genres.

Here is an example:

I get the comparison, I'm just making jokes. But I don't see your quibble as being that big of a deal. They're a manufactured act in some fashion, so what? Bands and musical acts have always had some behind the scenes machinations, and/or a certain formula for airplay and success. Session musicians aren't a big deal, either. Everyone uses session players, from Motown on down. With Babymetal, the girls sing and dance with a backing band on stage. Like countless musical acts have done for eons. Nuno is in Rihanna's touring band, has been for years.
This goes hard.
Bourne is the wrong idea for a Zendaya action franchise. They need to do a Colombiana sequel. Bring back Zoe Saldana as Cataleya and Zendaya can be her daughter. Let them do girl assassin shite in slinky little dresses and black cat suits. I'll watch and buy the BluRay.

It's so formulaic that who the actual girls are doesn't even matter. They just rotate them out.

It's so formulaic, there's no other band like them. One of the original girls left and was eventually replaced. She was one of the dancer/background vocal girls. The main vocalist, Su-metal, has some pipes. They're coming near me in September, I might still buy a ticket. Might go see Billy Idol, too, just because.

David Tyree

caught one ball off his helmet to clinch a super bowl for the Giants. Never caught another pass in the NFL again. His career numbers over 6 NFL seasons: 54 receptions, 650 yards, 4 TDs

One of those touchdowns came in the same Super Bowl.

Jeremy Lin, I mean, it was in the span of a week or so, close enough to one off for my taste

As a Knicks fan, I’ve always looked at the Linsanity thing as an embarrassment. A journeyman goes on a hot streak and fans desperate for something good jumped on the bandwagon.
I'm not making a list, just popping in here to say that no one has mentioned Red Dawn or Point Break yet and that makes me sad.
I like Dustin, clearly he was a little tore up. Good that it didn't get out of hand but I kinda did want to see him ride the lightning, just because. How many jolts does it take to drop a UFC fighter?

You know it is killing progressives not to be able to call Vance a racist due to his marriage.

I have no doubt the demons will do it anyway while degrading his wife.

Being married to a minority never stops the lefties from calling the white dude a racist. Or from calling the wife nasty shite either. It's a trigger for progressives to see conservative interracial couples.
When Duck, Duck, Goose turns deadly. Also, do you think the dude was in a tailspin when he was falling?
I've been to Corfu like eight times. Awesome place.

Actually it was big time Redskins country.

My point still stands. Once the Panthers came into existence, that changed quickly. MLB in Raleigh will be an immediate success.
