So lessee here.... you're perfectly ok with the Russian govt meddling around in and influencing our presidential elections, (as long as it's in favor of a Republican candidate), but a British rock star who speaks out against it needs to shut up and keep his mouth shut.

That about it, Mr Consistency?

An inflatable pig with Donald Trump's face on the side.
Screens that show doctored images of the President throwing up.
Photos of Trump with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as a big baby, and as Hitler.
They're just a few of the images music fans can catch on Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters' 54-date North American tour, "Us + Them," which kicked off on May 26 and coincides with the release of Water's first studio album in 25 years, "Is This the Life We Really Want?"

his 2 1/2-hour performance into what the CNN host described as just "as much an anti-Trump rally as a rock concert."
"It would be a lot easier to be on tour if I wasn't doing any of this, if I didn't have opinions," said Waters, a longtime Trump critic.
The political nature of his show, Waters told CNN, is a calculated and defiant response to what he calls the "charade" of the American presidency.

I have a whole new respect for Roger Waters.
 
I have a buddy who plays guitar in a Floyd tribute band lol.

I'd like to get his take on this.

Would Floyd be racist if they did this to Obama?

Not if they had a legitimate reason.

Obama is not a pig.

Trump is.

See the difference?

The Russian government had zero effect on the vote. And that is according to President Obama himself ( lets see you spin that Jethro). That being said, I was pretty clear in my statement. Even for a retarded redneck like yourself to understand.

Even if your questionable at best claim were true (the effect or lack thereof has yet to be established), you still missed the point.

The fact is that they tried and shit like you and the rest of your phony ass apologist idiots couldn't care less while wanting a musician expressing his opinions to shut up.

If you weren't such dumb fucking redneck trash, you wouldn't need it explained to you like a child.

Are you calling President Obama a liar? You racist. Already knew that though. I have zero problem with any American using their first amendment right. If you do not work here, pay taxes, live here, vote here, who really gives a rats ass what you think? Only the easily influenced. Like yourself Jethro.

I'm not calling Obama anything other than a great former President who, unlike the current scumbag you suck up to, brought honor and dignity to the office he held.

Other than that, you are a piece of scum.

That is about as close as a redneck like yourself can get to admitting they are wrong. I accept it.

If one were to search this intent forum for you making comments about Merkel, Macron, North Korea, United Kingdom, Mexico, Russia, Iran, etc., would they come up dry? In other words, do you practice what you preach?

Or, do routinely give opinions about countries you are not a citizen of?
