i think it's important to protect people from the consequences of their political views and we ought to reel in this whole idea of freedom of association
this billy gibbons fellow should be forced to continue working with someone who's politics he disagrees with

“America’s Got Talent” alum Benton Blount abruptly lost his opening-act gig on ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons' concert tour after his pro-Trump Facebook post got him temporarily banned from the social media website.

Blount was four shows into the seven-show slot when he learned he was kicked off the tour, South Carolina’s Greenville News reported.

The post showed Blount wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat and an “I Voted” sticker on Election Day while holding a Chick-Fil-A sandwich and drink. The photo carried the caption, "Someone reading this just got offended multiple times. My work here is done! #Vote."

“Drove down here (Atlanta) from Greenville, South Carolina to the venue. I get a call from my friend from California who informs me that not only have I been banned from Facebook but as a result from being banned from Facebook I was pulled off of the Billy Gibbons tour, effectively immediately,” Blount said in a Facebook Live video.

You shouldn't, maybe if you spent some time doing some introspection instead of worrying about other peoples lives you'd get somewhere. It's ok Duff, it's the mean conservatives fault you are a loser with a shit job and no skills aside from constructing paragraphs of nonsense on an online gaming forum.

I'm no tyt fan in fact I'm a bit of a hater of what they turned into but he was open about being a young conservative the entire time

and he built a little media empire out of pretty much being the exact opposite

People grow and change it's the entire point of learning. You will probably be the same your entire life but most of us actually move on from character flaws and failures and beliefs in bad ideas

also old news

Quote
Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar appeared on CNN this morning and defended a baseless tweet in which she alleged that Sen. Lindsey Graham is compromised––as in being blackmailed. In a rambling response to questions about the tweet, Omar said she is “pretty sure” that the Trump administration has something on Graham. Asked what that something might be, she suggested something having to do with campaign finances, or senate leadership positions, which sounds a lot more like normal politics than blackmail.

When pressed for evidence, she failed to present any and finally described the tweet as an “opinion based on things visible to me.” The response drew attention because of its similarity to a conspiracy theory suggesting that Graham is gay and that is what’s being held over his head. If indeed that is what Omar was winking at, it’s shameful and homophobic, but even if it wasn’t, her accusation is baseless, dangerous, and she should immediately apologize to Graham.

Graham serves Graham

He's the same shitty conservative warmonger that he has been for 390 years and Trump hasn't changed that

both sides (left leaners and Trump enthusiasts) fuck up with Graham the way conservatives fuck up with celebrities. They cling too hard too fast when they hear something they want to use for their agenda but a snake in the grass has no loyalty
