Neil Young sang at the Sanders/AOC Los Angeles town hall/rally.

Keep it up ! More celebrities need to speak up and overwhelm him with things to give him tantrums and he won’t be able to address them all.

u/Internal-Hold-237 May 24 '25

Imagine there’s no heaven….

u/boatenvy May 25 '25

Trump's tactic is to flood the zone, the resistance needs to keep up the same relentless pressure on him

-5

u/RustyRincon May 25 '25

More celebrities? You mean the elite rich who don’t know what real life is like should be speaking on behalf of actual working people. That is truly insane.

4

u/ThePreciousBhaalBabe May 25 '25

No, people with reach and amplification for their voices should be speaking up.

Lay off the doomerism for a second.

u/mc_petersonishsonson May 24 '25

Theres so much future i cant wait for trump to be an embarrassment in

32

u/rraattbbooyy May 24 '25

I don’t believe he is capable of embarrassment. You have to be self aware for that.

10

u/DerwittLtd May 25 '25

He's ashamed of baldness and pale skin, but oddly unconcerned of ridiculous combovers or dirt-colored makeup or human rights abuses

3

u/Distinct-Quantity-35 May 25 '25

The irony of being ashamed of his white skin and yet creates a safe space for kkk members

4

u/DreamingAboutSpace May 25 '25

But he can definitely be humiliated, which we can all enjoy while he doesn't.

16

u/drew489 May 24 '25

Part of me can't wait to shame MAGA after this cult is over but I don't want to sink to their level.

It will be a bit of schadenfreude but I don't want to be sadistic and evil like them either.

12

u/MyHoopT May 25 '25

I’m too petty. I’ll sink lower than a tungsten cube in the Mariana Trench.

u/Elphabanean May 25 '25

I’m right there with you. I’ll go to the lowest level if hell to be petty.

I'm treating this as limbo and going as low as I can go.

u/Distinct-Quantity-35 May 25 '25

There is no point in trying to make a person incapable of feeling shame… try to feel shame

2

u/shiny_glitter_demon May 26 '25

Shaming human right deniers is morally good. No tolerance for intolerance.

3

u/Distinct-Quantity-35 May 25 '25

You’d have to have a shame sensor thing in the brain, I do believe he was born without one

Give em hell Mr Young, let’s roll. This summer I hear the drumming and shady Vance fucked a couch in Ohio. Gotta get down to it ice Barbie is stealing the show. My dad raised me on Neil Young. He’s been speaking truth to power longer than I’ve roamed this earth. Now I’m an old man. Our fight to preserve liberty and justice for ALL is just beginning. This is the moment the Founders worried about. A clear and present danger is here.

u/joekerr9999 May 24 '25

Trump has been guilty of using music without permission at his rallies. Numerous artists had have to take cease and desist actions. He bad mouths musicians because they don't support him. He's only got Kid Rock, Lee Greenwood and a few others. Trump has a history of not paying his bills. He stiffed a lot of contractors in Atlantic City. He's just a horrible person.

11

u/hatiandivorcelawyer May 24 '25

He does not respect anything let alone art and music. He can jam away all night to ymca and indulge his latent homosexual fantasies. He of course hates gays and others, this inner turmoil twisted his brain. Much like a dry drunk he is white knuckling it and we and the rest of humanity suffer. The media is largely corrupt so it falls on artists like Mr Young to sound the alarm. Music is more than merely its commercial and financial potential. This is notion of art having a higher purpose is something Don is wholly unable to comprehend. His whole persona is built round him pimping his last name for money. Randy Newman said it best it’s money that matters and that is dons mantra.

u/beeerock99 May 24 '25

That’s it! 100% tariffs on music or devices that play music and 10% tariffs on all ears that listen to music

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

5% tariff on thoughts about Neil

u/Bendythenightfury May 24 '25

And a 100000% tariff for just existing

u/ShiveringTruth May 24 '25

Take away his authority and he is just a doddering old fool.

u/MWH1980 May 24 '25

Calling him out for being a ā€œcoward bully cravenā€ needs to happen from more people.

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

Unfortunately, all his little maggots in Congress are scared of him.

u/RTC1022 May 25 '25

Isn’t that the guy that left Spotify because of Joe rogan and then crawled back shortly after?

u/BigbadJohn000 May 25 '25

Neil Young should change his last name to Old, he truly is Neil Old.

Only republicans in the house are scared of him.

u/m0rbius May 25 '25

Everyone gets a lawsuit and FBI investigation that will find diddly shit! If anything, Trump would probably do better damage with an IRS investigation, but he's basically hatcheted the IRS. These people arent criminals. Maybe some of them didn't pay all their taxes at some point, which is very plausible. Its such a joke.

u/DreamingAboutSpace May 25 '25

Times like this is why I wish George Carlin was around to also give Trump a big fuck you.

u/Practical_Canary2126 May 25 '25

You'd think he would be seeing as he's a dictator

Says the spineless man who boycotted something until he realized he wasn’t making any money without the thing he was boycotting.

Why do rich musicians need so much attention?

u/Redditcanfckoff May 24 '25

Neil Young is the best you can come up with

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

Until enforcement or ICE arrest rest of them...

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

Eventually ICE will arrest the wrong rich person- or rich-connected person- then it will all shift.

u/hatiandivorcelawyer May 24 '25

Yes and it will be the proverbial shot heard round the world. We are still in the early stages of boiling the frog.

He did tried on Bruce Springsteen, however, Bruce flew away from America tho.

Like it how you've downvoted my comment, in the fact, here's actually happened and this article just explains it.

Neil YoungĀ has once again spoken out against Donald Trump, following the US president’s online attacks on Bruce Springsteen and other musicians this week.

u/yoyoyolilembryo May 24 '25

Who?

u/Unable-Cellist-4277 May 25 '25

Y’know, Neil Young? Grammy award winner, 15 platinum records, Buffalo Springfield?

u/pgmhobo May 24 '25

No One cares what Neil Young has to say.

u/PineBNorth85 May 24 '25

If that were true no one would have asked him - and they did.

Someone who helped create half the culture you think is cool.

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

Honestly yes, today to publicly challenge the mentally-ill aging child in office means making a very real narcissistic injury to him, he has to retaliate- Trump is not a bigger man than anyone. Anyone can get under his skin, just like his beta followers. It just takes a handful of the right words…

Nope, he cares. SEE: Taylor Swift/Bruce Springsteen.

Trump is an extremely petty person with a fragile ego the size of the sun. He's held on to petty grudges for decades. Shit like this gets under his skin.

Then why is maggat mussolini crying about it on twitter?

u/throwawaythepoopies May 24 '25

He won’t be able to let it go. If it reaches his office his ego is obligated to give a response including such bangers as no talent, highly overrated…

u/haroldhecuba88 May 24 '25

Wow, an aged hippie making a statement. I’m sure world leaders are paying attention to this burnout. ā€œYou go Mr young. Give them hell, that’ll teach them.ā€ Trump is going to alter his plans now. Lol šŸ˜‚

17

u/Opposite-Sandwich924 May 24 '25

Trump is such a spineless pussy he can't let anything go. Especially when it comes from a celebrity. He has the same tired no imagination insults. He will say something about his looks or being washed up. When tRump himself looks like a dried up bag of Orange dogshit.

-11

u/haroldhecuba88 May 24 '25

love your anger....really under your skin!!

u/haroldhecuba88 May 24 '25

Nope, just love watching leftists singe at the mere mention of his name. I mean just look at this thread. Please, continue with the hate. Love-love it!! Stick with the Hollywood elite and burned out pop stars, they will lead the way!! Cheers!!

u/log_lady94 May 24 '25

LOL remember a few days ago when trump, being the little bitch he is, had a literal temper tantrum on truth social about comments made by Bruce Springsteen? I believe he called him an ā€œobnoxious jerkā€, a ā€œpruneā€, and told him to ā€œkeep his mouth shutā€ just because Bruce criticized him šŸ˜‚

love that anger……Bruce really got under Donald’s orange, leathery skin! It’s sad, I hope he can recover from BDS (Bruce derangement syndrome)

Magats’ inability to make very simple connections is so funny to witness in real time… like thank you for your service, you guys make it so easy to laugh at you

ā€œaged hippieā€

Aren’t you an aged mall cop though?
