Its also a straw man that people called Trump xenophobic just cause of the travel ban for China. They called him xenophobic because he is. The travel ban for China was not a bad move. Him obsessing over calling it the China virus and even calling it Kung flu (lol) is where the xenophobia really shines through.

Obviously not surprising. Wealth redistribution is only coming at the barrel of a gun. There ain’t no getting around it. If you don’t own a gun you’re not even a leftist. It’s kill or be killed and they’re doing all the killing.

Why JoJo Siwa's coming out is such a massively big deal


Quote:

Someone on Instagram Live asked her how she identified. She answered candidly -- she doesn't know.

"I wanna share everything with the world; I really do," she told her rapt audience. "But I also want to keep things in my life private until they're ready to be public."
She is out as LGBTQ+, however.

If you're not a creepy old dude obsessed with teen girls then why are you posting that?

I still think she's an annoying little **** with this boomer ass take.

'"Today’s music that is being released is not music. It’s not true music,” she complains. “There’s no instruments that are being played in it. People have phenomenal vocals, but it’s not true music. Music back in the Eighties, Seventies, and Nineties, they didn’t have the technology, so they had to do real music. And they were musicians. They were incredible."'

Eh, she's not wrong in a sense. Toto emerged in L.A. in the late 70's and they are arguably the best session musicians of all time, along with guys like JR Robinson and Neil Stubenhaus. A lot of mainstream pop and R&B back then had some of the best players on Earth at one point who all contributed to the writing process. That's not as common today cause so many labels like to cut costs and technology is so different today compared to the recording process in the late analog / early digital years. Why pay Steve Lukather or Mike Landau for those sweet riffs when you can just emulate that **** in some DAW.

lol

well she’s 17 so...

ok - I mean she says she’s coming out as LGBTQ+ but when asked how she identifies she says “idk...wanna keep some things private...”

Doesn’t coming out by definition mean you’re making how you identify public?

Or maybe LGBTQ+ is specific enough. I don’t want to try to own her process of coming out but reading that for me was like wut

Quote:

I got the impression that she was trying to say she’s bi but who knows.

Those shots from when she was a prepubescent dancer on a reality show are hella creepy though. I’m surprised with all the **** that people object to that one still flies. If I were king I’d shut that 7 year olds in bikinis hip thrusting **** down. That **** is like serious yikes.

I didn't care about the last Miley either. But i don't have the same appetite for jail bait you do.

Either way I get it if you think she's hot but who cares about her status/opinions/etc?

Aint she 18+? Or is Hawk talking about Hannah Montana?

jwb 01-31-2021 08:43 PM

She is now... but who the **** even talks about her now? She was most famous when she made the transition from jail bait to barely legal and started twerking on stage for publicity
