Trump Forgets the Lyrics to the National Anthem

Post Reply New Topic

Roseanne was and still is a swine.

That is the worst logic ever.

For the record, there are a lot of leftists that piss me off. I don't like the extreme black activists who claim that all white people are racist. I don't like the radfems who claim that all men are potential rapists. I don't like the people who unironically defend Stalin. I don't like the commies who hate George Orwell over his dislike of Stalin. I don't like the alt-med quacks who believe in "crystal healing" or whatever gibberish they have come up with recently. I don't like the people who claim that using LSD brings you closer to God. I don't like Hillary Clinton. (though she isn't a real leftist) I don't like the people who insist that Clinton is better than Sanders just because she is a woman. I don't like the people who insist that Cleopatra was black. I don't like the people who argue that Cuphead is racist simply because it is based on old cartoons. I don't like the people who argue that eating meat is as bad as murder. I don't like the people who argue that Super Mario is inappropriate for children due to its use of the distressed damsel archetype.

Of course, I'm not going to side with Trump just because all of those people hate his guts.

By the way, America sided with Soviet Russia during WW2 and later sided with Osama Bin Laden during the Soviet-Afghanistan War. How's that "my enemy's enemy" logic working out for ya?

I will always have a certain degree of respect for her since she pwned Richard Coughlan on Twitter.

Look it up. It's funny.

Roseanne never preached about patriotism at ball games the way Trump did when he railed against athletes kneeling during the national anthem. Less hypocrisy. But yes. She did do a more overt job of butchering the song.

Incredibly Roseanne is only number three in this top ten list of National Anthem Musical fails.



In all fairness to both Trump and Barr the US National anthem is a high wire act even for professional singers and recording artists. And is virtually impossible to sing for us ordinary untrained singers. Anything less than Whitney Houston and you're taking your dignity in your hands when you sing it solo in public.

The lyrics are hard to remember. And the notes are disjunctive (far apart on the musical scale). In contrast La Marsailles is conjunctive and easy for a crowd of untrained singers (the People) to belt out a rousing version.

But if you're gonna go off the rails and do an untraditional rendition of the song, atleast do it with style. I give high marks for style to this 2001 rendition by R.Kelly:

I'm triggered

Not necessarily logical in the true sense of logic but it was (and still is ) very heartwarming to see all the angst and general butthurt this presidency had caused the left.
Not so much logic but more accurately schadenfreude.


Both were alliances of convenience at the time. There are some who think we should have sided with the
the Axis powers to conquer the USSR.

Yeah. A lot of people hate Trump for the wrong reasons.

What about the people who are concerned about the human lives that Trump is putting at risk? Those people were also critical of Obama's drone strikes.

... and what about the people who called Obama a "communist Nazi Muslim"? Are you seriously arguing that all of the irrational butthurt in the world comes out of the left?

I've noticed that you don't post quite as much as you used to. I suspect this is because PPR has grown up and settled down over the last few months. You seem to be a person who thrives on irrationality and ignores issues that actually put human lives at risk. In other words, you are like the people who use 4chan and r/tumblrinaction.



How so? Was the US government protecting Americans by arming Osama Bin Laden? Obviously not.



I suppose you could argue that "It was a righteous war to protect the Afghan people." but that's a load of crap. What have American conservatives done to protect the Rohingya people? Why did America initially side with Indonesia during the East Timor Genocide? Why did the US government oust Salvador Allende but then tolerate Augusto Pinochet? What did Mohammad Mosaddegh do to deserve what he got?

The "Justice League theory" of the US military simply doesn't hold water. It raises too many uncomfortable questions. The "world police" are surprisingly fond of police brutality.

If you respond to this post with "LOL liberal tears." then we are done here. If you have any moral principles at all, prove it. Prove that you are more than an adolescent, nihilistic comedian.

I've heard it said the US aided Afghanistan to drain the USSR economy to collapse.

Reminds me of all the George W. Bush hating peaceniks in the last decade weeping and wailing about all the deaths the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but suddenly shutting up when Obama took office and .............we were still in Afghanistan and Iraq and would continue to be.
Just depends on which side of the bread the butter is on.


Were we crying and rioting in the streets? How about all the vandalism and assaults?
I double dog dare you to find me anything on that scale from after the 2008 elections.


I've been on WP for 11 years and have seen several turnovers. I can make PPR exiting by posting things that wil compel you and others like you reply without even a violation of the TOS on my part. I know how to piss people off and if necessary how to get around an IP block (a.k.a forum ban).
The frequency of my posting depends on what I've got going on IRL.




Because Soviet expansion was the greater evil back then and US intelligence had no idea then how it would turn out a few decades later.



Tisk tisk tisk... aint we just awful.
Someone should spank us.


I kinda like the idea of armed coercion on such a huge scale. I'm not even joking about that.


I thought we were done a while ago. You find me irresistible is what it is.

The Carter administration definitely wanted to give the Soviets their own Vietnam. With their military stuck in that quagmire, and thus bleeding money to achieve a victory that was always too far away to reach, it certainly had contributed to the crash of their economy.

Oh! shock horror! I would have thought you would be last person to be banned from WP

A racist, war-mongering idiot forgetting the lyrics to a song written by a racist war-mongering idiot. How very droll. Excuse while I laugh myself sick.

When I initially read this post, I was skeptical, so I did some quick research. As it turns out, "The Star-Spangled Banner" was written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812. Francis Scott Key was a slave owner who later fought against the abolition of slavery.

Surprisingly, you aren't wrong.

More of what Micheal Moore calls the awful truth...

to be fair, it's not a very nice piece to sing, spanning several octaves. you need to have some serious pipes to pull it off.

Like I said above: you have to be Whitney Houston to sing it decently.
