    Sure, since he’s keen on continuing to flush the whole constitution down the toilet at this point, free speech seems like the next thing to go naturally. I can’t wait to be branded an enemy of the state.

      Yeah at this point you can kiss the Constitution goodbye.

      Buy guns before you can’t. We’ll probably end up needing them the way things are headed.

    If I’ve learned anything about the US justice system it’s that it is pointless to prosecute rich people. They will just get convicted of and then still get off scot free for rape, treason, insurrection etc.

      It’s a simple fact now that the American justice system is a joke. As is the country in general.

      Why does this read like a backhanded dig at Springsteen?

        Bruce Springsteen is famously a nice guy. To be intimated by him would mean you would have to be wildly insecure.

          And I’m thinking that a person would have to be an absolute dick for a nice guy like Springsteen to criticise said person.

        It’s like being intimidated by Mr. Rogers. You have to be the most insecure monster to feel like unconditional kindness is threatening to you.

    whatever, crybaby.

    the threat of a probe is Trump starting to extort money from those performers using the government to do so in my opinion.

    Perhaps, just maybe, a toddler tantrum over a losing campaign paying production costs to performer’s crews just like every campaign does, perhaps that’s an attempt at deflection from the goddamn president of the United States accepting a luxury airplane from a foreign government which is explicitly forbidden by law.

    As is always the case with Mango Mussolini and these sewer clowns, every accusation is a confession.

    If I’ve learned anything watching him, if he accuses someone else of something it’s only because he’s doing it and figures they must be. So how much did Kid Rock get?

      The American government continues to allow it.

      But yeah that is true.

        The American people are the government. They’ve abdicated responsibility. The citizens are the ones allowing this to continue. They have LONG been aware they can’t count on their elected officials- and your comment does nothing but give them cover for their absolute cowardice.

          So enlighten us. Specifically what do you propose that the citizens actually do?

            Asked and answered, repeatedly, in almost every relevant discussion on this site (to say nothing of every history book you’ve ever read)- but hey, you already know this, and yet, have decided that getting defensive is the best response here.
