If only Twitter would do the responsible thing and take down tRumpā€™s account in toto for the tweets he has put out inciting violence and making threats on others. How many times does he have to violate their TOS before they stand up to him?

The Trump playbook from 2016 is not working for 2020. Biden might be many things but he is not corrupt. Do the Trump allies want to go after the family? This is not a good move on their part.

Well good for Nickelback -not that Iā€™ve ever heard of them. Itā€™s as if Trump and his supporters donā€™t believe any rules apply to them.

ā€œWho knows what playbook they are on,ā€ one GOP lawmaker told The Hill. ā€œ[Trumpā€™s] pulling it out of his ass as he goes along.ā€

Nickelback rightfully does. Iā€™m not a fan, but they donā€™t deserve being associated with Trump.

When I saw the tweet (and video) last night, I was wondering how long it would be until Nickelback responded.

Best move of Nickelbackā€™s career. And now we can add ā€œbad tasteā€ to the list of Trumpā€™s impeachable offenses.

The photo features former Vice President Joe Biden in 2014 posing with his son Hunter Biden and one of Hunter Bidenā€™s colleagues, whom the doctored video labeled a ā€œUkraine gas exec.ā€

No time right now, but I have a feeling I wouldnā€™t have to look very hard to find pictures of DT or elected DT supporters hanging out with foreign CEOs.

In re ā€œbad tasteā€
Nickelback have been criticized for over-use of themes involving strippers, sex, prostitutes, drugs, and alcohol consumption, and for the derivative, repetitive and formulaic nature of their music. In November 2011, users of the music-oriented dating site Tastebuds.fm voted Nickelback as the number one musical turnoff, edging out Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga In May 2013, the readers of Rolling Stone magazine named Nickelback the second worst band of the 1990s, behind only Creed [Wiki}

Poor Nickleback.

Now even soft, repetitive, Teen-angst-AM-Corporate-Rock canā€™t stay out of the ever-spiraling insanity of the White House Squatter.
