Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I saw him once, well before he'd gone off the rails, but when he was definitely past his peak. Probably ... 1988? It was a fun show.
I'm ootl on this one. How did Gallagher get off the rails?
Went full maga. Mostly after he won his court case against his brother, Gallagher II. While he won, his whole family essentially stopped talking to him, his comedy failed to keep up with the times while he kept doubling down on things people no longer found funny. Then he walked out of that Marc Maron podcast like a pissbaby.
Just read about the case because I was kind of interested figured I'd share
Apparently his brother Ron had his own comedy show dubbed himself Gallagher II even though he was not Gallagher II
I assume the family side with Ron wanting a second shot in ancestral money and fame and Leo was still too salty that is unchanging act throughout the years was no longer bringing in the bucks and refuse to let him use his name as a springboard
And remember, he (Gallagher 2) had an agreement with Gallagher to do old Gallagher material he didn't use anymore in his Gallagher 2 performances. And they did it to fuck over carrot top too.
sadly, the mustache mistake bit was probably his peak :)
Wait, who is Gallagher? I thought y'all were talking Liam Gallagher sonce he is also pretty crazy, but i can't picture him as a MAGA nutjob.
Ohh I might have to check this out.
Theatre kid here. A friend of mine was tech director at a local theartre, a converted 'show palace' style place, really beautiful. Anyway, I remember him campaigning HARD against them booking Gallagher in the early 2010's, because he had played a show there about a decade prior and had evidently made it his goal to create as much of a mess for the crew as possible. Purposefully aimed chunks of fruit he was throwing around at lighting instruments to gunk them up, etc. Evidently, the universal sentiment among everyone who worked that show was that Gallagher was a dick.
I'm sure. I was a dick back in '88, that's probably why I thought it was a fun show.
