President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I yawned in 7th grade history/social studies because I knew all this shit since I was 5 years old. But I never ran for congress from Louisiana.

 

Pretty strong stuff from li'l ol' Dolly ...

Dolly Parton blasts politicians
without naming any. Call it ‘Dollitics.’

During last week’s Academy of Country Music Awards, a crowd filled with cowboy hats roared as Dolly Parton’s tent-like skirt detached to reveal her leather outfit. It was an edgy performance in Frisco, Tex. — made edgier by Parton’s blasting of “greedy politicians past and present.”

Like legions of musicians before her, Parton, 77, used her new song “World on Fire” as a medium to voice her discontent with elected officials — a sentiment widespread among Americans, regardless of their party.

“Liar, liar, the world’s on fire. Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?” Parton muses in the rock-infused song, criticizing how politicians “wouldn’t know the truth if it bit ’em” and have “lost sight of common decency, of wrong and right.”

The singer, however, stopped short at naming specific politicians. During an interview that aired Monday, she told Today’s Jacob Soboroff that her song is about “all of ’em. Any of ’em. I don’t think any of ’em are trying hard enough.”

“I just really think often that they worry more about their party than they do about the people,” Parton said. “None of them are working from the heart.”

Perhaps this is why the attorney quit.

 

Oh c'mon, a racist politician in North Carolina? Next thing, you're going to tell me that Republicans throughout this state are reasonable ...

 

Probably needs to be over here more than the baseball thread.
