How dare he disrespect our country like that!! He's just showing how much he hates our flag and all of military heroes that fought for this country by butchering our great national anthem.
Who ever heard of playing our great anthem like that?!?! All of that distortion and feedback, what a shame!! And to use a wah pedal and tremolo?!?! The shame of it all!! OMG He's playing that guitar with his teeth!! What a disgrace!!
And why is that guy sitting down behind those drums? You should always be standing when our great anthem is played!! And look at all of those people out in the crowd not holding their hands over their hearts like a proper respectful American should when our great anthem is played!!
What a revolting, disgusting, disrepectful performance of our great holy national anthem!! They should all be ashamed of themselves!!

On the subject of not-subversive-at-all patriotic hymns, I'd like to offer up 2 gems

If only Roseanne Barr had learnt how to play the guitar.
Judging by the way the Reagan administration gleefully lapped this one up it appears the subversion was a success. Ronnie even declared his favourite Bruce song was Born To Run (for office, presumably) on The Tonight Show but even Johnny didn't believe him. Years later conservative columnist Brian Doherty would argue that the lyrics didn't matter anyway.
Walter Mondale also claimed Springsteen's endorsement but nobody remembers him.

@Joey D I wish you had let me forget about that tweet. It's so profoundly depressing. How did we get to the point where the president of the US is using his office to punish companies that don't want people campaigning at work (for him specifically) by calling for boycotts?
It's unprofessional, inappropriate, disrespectful...
And somehow he is supposed to be the pro-business candidate? The guy who attempts to use his office to strongarm companies into being government puppets.

Kind of telling that Marxism is the dead horse that someone is beating instead of being the beater of dead horses, since it seems to be all he can talk about and noone else on the thread or forum has even mentioned it.
Guess illogical placement of captions is always a problem when one exclusively rolls one's own gifs and memes because one can't find any that agree with oneself.

Oof:
It's completely unsurprising that Trump missed the initial part of that presentation slide* also listing, "Political Affiliated Slogans or Material" under Unacceptable, meaning any & all, not just Trump. They even doubled down on it.
I got a sad kick out of this, though, when he acknowledged Beast runs on Good Years.
The only other major American-made tire brand for general use, is who? Cooper Tires? Unless they plan to throw some Hoosiers on Beast which would be pretty ****in sick, not gonna lie.
*According to Good Year, turns out that presentation slide wasn't actually made by them....

But I thought Trump opposed ‘cancel culture’ though?
Oof:
Makes me wonder if the anti-‘cancel culture’ folk are going to defend him despite the fact that the tweet encourages people to ‘cancel’ Goodyear. I hope the anti-cancel culture folk at least stick to their morals and continue buying or considering Goodyear for tires.

Canceling someone for racism... unreasonable. Cancelling a company for wanting employees not to campaign at work... reasonable. How are you not following this?

With a title like "How Internet Politics Look to Normal Humans," I thought that video might be poking a little fun at both sides. (Silly assumption, given your posting history, I know.)
Turns out, it's nothing of the sort. The "normal people" in that video are the same "normal people" that Chrunch is always yammering about.

I'm glad you caught that. I missed the #normalpeople reference.

And here I just though normal people used the Internet to buy things, watch porn, and steam movies.
