> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Although considering who our First Lady is, I find it amusing **Starving Artist** is whining about pop-stars being “leg-spreaders”. Not to mention the fact that women in form-fitting bodysuits spreading their undraped legs has been considered a part of good wholesome American family entertainment since long before the dread 1960s. Check out [this photo of the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes showing off their bespangled crotches in a high kick in the 1958 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade](https://www.today.com/slideshow/macy-s-thanksgiving-parades-past-45360596), for example. But of course, **those** scantily clad leg-spreading performers were white. You’ll have noticed before this that **Starving Artist** gets very upset over contemporary black performers doing many of the same things (spreading their legs, wearing skimpy outfits, glamorizing criminal behavior, opining on public policy) that have been common practice for white performers for many decades. ---

It’s because the old bastard interprets making other people angry as being a superpower. He can prompt reactions out of us which means that he controls us! With magic!

This is one interview where if you get bored with the person talking you can switch to their porn video. And you might get a similar chance during the next state of the Union Address. I only saw the part where she said someone should spank him and also that she didn’t find him sexually attractive. I bet what he really wants to make her pay for is that last remark. ---

> [@begbert2](#): > > I’m pretty sure you do inspire resentment, because many people resent hateful geriatric fucksticks that sabotage america while spouting racist and sexist drivel. This is exactly the sort of thing that got Trump elected. If you people think the things I post are racist or sexist (and you clearly do) then you’re so far around the bend that you’re not only divorced from reality but utterly hopeless. Which of course is exactly the case and why a guy like Donald Trump, even with all his faults, was elected to thwart you, and dare I say it - Make America Great Again. For the truth is that when lowlife scuzzbugs Jay-Z and his cynically skanky wife and Eminem are being touted as the voices of conscience in America, it by definition isn’t great. All the wrong people have a voice in America these days. Lowlifes and scuzzbugs are lauded and promoted while education, achievement and success are dismissed as the mere products of ‘privilege’.

It wasn’t commonplace during America’s best decades of the 40s, 50s and (early) sixties and entire cultures weren’t growing up around them. I was similarly put off by Christina Aguilera when she likewise decided that skankery was the road to success in modern day America and slutted out like Beyonce has. I liked both during the earlier phases of their careers, but I don’t like like the fact that it’s become literally impossible to raise kids in this country today with even a shred of wholesomeness, and skanks like those two are a large part of the reason why. > [@Morganstern](#): > > You take great pride in making sure that everyone here thinks you’re a scrotum pole. > Why do you do that?

Being viewed as such is just part and parcel of harboring outspoken (or hell, even whispered) anti-liberal views and is an inescapable side effect. Surely you’re aware of this, it’s been an identifiable phenomenon for some decades now. ---

Trump has spent his life using and abusing women. I think there will be a steady stream of them coming foward. These 2 were consenting adults. They knew the score. To me, they are creditable because of that. If this doesn’t turn the stomachs of his base, there really is no hope for them. And then there are all those he Weinsteined that will start showing up. He is a just a low-life. ---

It’s a race to the bottom and whoever gets there first gets the title of Best Person In The World. It’s ridiculous. The highlighting of the racist and sexist drivel was done by me. You know, if you want to attempt to pretend I’m falsely slandering you, you might try not reminding everyone about how right I am about you two paragraphs later. And by the way, it continues to be completely moronic to claim that the people who didn’t vote for Trump are the ones responsible for him getting elected. Sorry, no, Trump was elected by a bunch of angry gullible fools who got suckered into the lies he and the Russians were spouting. Many of these angry gullible fools were angry for very understandable reasons and desperate for aid, and many of the others were angry because, like you, they’re very very pissed that Leave It To Beaver, the documentary, is no longer an accurate portrayal of life like it definitely once was, for real. Marilyn Monroe did not exist and if she did she was a nun. ---

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > This is exactly the sort of thing that got Trump elected […] why a guy like Donald Trump, even with all his faults, was elected to thwart you, and dare I say it - Make America Great Again. You couldn’t have made it clearer that what conservatives really care about is not actually promoting honest conservative principles and supporting candidates who embody them, but merely Pissing Off the Liberals. Liberals didn’t force the GOP to nominate Donald Trump. You could in theory have found a decent, principled Republican to run against Hillary Clinton. In practice, though, that would simply not have attracted the necessary conservative voters. It’s conservatives’ own fault if they haven’t managed to build their movement on decency and principle rather than exploiting the crude rage-bait of Pissing Off the Liberals. > [@Starving Artist](#): > > All the wrong people have a voice in America these days. If conservatives actually wanted what they consider good and admirable people to have a stronger voice, they should have rallied behind one of them instead of Donald Trump. If you deliberately support a shitpile candidate because shitpiles Piss Off the Liberals, you have only yourselves to blame for being stuck with a shitpile President. > [@Starving Artist](#): > > It wasn’t commonplace during America’s best decades of the 40s, 50s and (early) sixties and entire cultures weren’t growing up around them. Nonsense. Leg-spreading scantily-dressed chorus girls were an absolute mainstay of popular entertainment culture even before the 1940s. I showed you a picture of leg-spreading Rockettes in the _Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade_, for Pete’s sake. Can’t get much more deeply embedded in American culture than that. ---

> [@begbert2](#): > > The highlighting of the racist and sexist drivel was done by me. Pointing out that Jay-Z and Beyonce are low-lifes is not racist or sexist at all (unless you’re the sort of person who thinks that anyone should be able to behave any way they want without sanction as long as they’re black or female, which as far as I can tell, most liberals do). I, on the other hand, simply believe that if someone is a poor example then they’re a poor example no matter what their race and they deserve to be called out on it. The Democratic nominee for president or her advisors are are the ones who decided that dragging those two sterling examples of life morally lived onstage was a good way to connect with their constituency, so naturally they’re the ones I’m singling out for criticism.

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > Pointing out that Jay-Z and Beyonce are low-lifes is not racist or sexist at all Well, if you’re getting upset over the alleged “low-lifeness” of Jay-Z and Beyonce while completely ignoring, say, the mob connections of someone like Frank Sinatra or the sexual and/or criminal shenanigans of innumerable “Golden Age” Hollywood stars, then yeah, racist and sexist is a pretty reasonable diagnosis. ---

Still waiting for you to lambast Marilyn Monroe. The Republican nominee for president is the one who decided dragging _himself_ onstage was a good way to connect with the constituency - specifically by being _racist as fuck_. And he was _right_. Him behaving that way resonated with republicans. Just, being racist all over the place. Really, overtly, racist. This is, apparently, not a problem for you. I agree the country is fucked, but it’s not the fault of that person who didn’t win the election and has no impact on anything. It’s the racists’ fault, and the sexists’ fault, and the bigots’ fault - and it’s also the fault of fools who think that Leave It To Beaver was a documentary. Oh, and the people who trying to hand our country over to Putin, they’re not so good for us either. And each and every person who supports Trump, who is demonstrably tearing our country apart in literally every way available to him. Very literally. On the upside, give it a few more decades and a goodly number of those fuckers will just _die_. Unfortunately I will too in that timespan, but on the upside america will, eventually, grow the fuck up. ---

The difference is that millions of people weren’t attempting to adopt Sinatra’s mob-esque lifestyle, whereas the criminality and misogyny of music by the likes of Jay-Z have been promoted and championed by an entire ideological movement that also seeks to elevate their purveyors to heroic levels. In other words, Sinatra was just a damn good singer who had mob connections. People like Jay-Z emblemize and promote gangster-esue lifestyles to millions, resulting in increased crime, mistreatment of women, and ways of talking and behaving that are guaranteed to result in lives spent in poverty and going nowhere. Sinatra and Jay-Z aren’t remotely the same and the suggestion they are is laughable. ---
