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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What the actual f*** is happening?
My guess is that it’s another Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle. Trump just says things and expects his team to make it happen. And he expects everyone around him to bow to his every whim.
The Four Seasons thing was because he announced that he was going to be having a rally at the Four Seasons. This was clearly in reference to the Four Seasons Hotel. But he didn’t have anything booked there yet. The hotel management refused to book it. So Trump ended up at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping instead. Because the alternative would be Trump being shown as a liar.
And this is just another instance of Trump speaking before he has anything actually booked. He expected all the artists to just bend over and agree to do the show, because that’s what normally happens when he makes demands.
I bet someone at the White House emailed millivanilli@gmail.com or something, and the person at the other end thought it would be funny to fuck with them and accept lol
Milli Vanilli Total Landscaping.
What's next?
Millie Vanilli God Bless the USA Bibles.
@Sumocat @Zedstrian With Rob Pilatus being dead since 1998 it would be just Vanilli?
There's two groups of people claiming the name Milli Vanilli: one is the original actual singers (including Jodie Rocco) and the other is ~~Pilatus~~ Morvan (plus supporting musicians). Nobody knows which group they were referring to in the announcement (though they had a picture of ~~Pilatus~~ Morvan) and, afaik, ~~Pilatus~~ Morvan hasn't commented yet.
Edit: Morvan, not Pilatus. Duh.
So instead of inviting the people who actually made the songs, this implies that they invited half of the duo who didn't make them almost 40 years ago?
Who do you think Trump would want: someone with musical talent, or someone who can look good lip syncing to old songs on stage?
By my math, none of them are going to look pretty up on that stage. They should just hire a pair of attractive black men to lip sync it all over again. Just like Milli Vanilli was back in the day.
Is that really surprising though?
Not remotely. I think it couldn't be more on brand. I think someone offered up Milli Vanilli Total Landscaping. They were spot on.
@Lumidaub Due to being dead since 1998.
I edited, apparently while you were commenting :)
