She wasn't even particularly good in her delivery.
Came off as totally performative, and not even convincing.
Like a robot spouting words and then, pause, wait for the obligatory applause and hooting and hollering. Okay, now go. Hmm, what else to say off the cuff. Oh yeah, throw out an expletive against ICE. Cue the walk off stage.
What a ditz. And a contrived one at that.
At least the dude performing at the Super Bowl, you sense, probably believes what he spouts.
Even though his saying he won't be performing in the USA anymore, while shortly afterwards being announced as the "headliner" at what is probably the most Americana of American things outside of the World Series, is pretty humorous.
I guess that might suggest which side of the bread he puts his butter on.
A lot of people can be drawn away (bought?) from their own words and "stands" for a few bucks. Maybe those bucks don't come from the NFL directly, but you know it will come to him because of the exposure.
Now maybe he's donating that money to help the poor. Maybe that's what happens.
If he gives the majority of his wealth over to the underprivileged, and she gives her house over to the Tongva, I'll cut them some slack. Until then they can move some of the illegal criminals into their homes. That would make for a nice gesture in the interim.
Apparently she might sell her $12m property to the tribe for $1m. According to a post i saw.
She has enough money that it just doesn't matter to her.
And yes she is a vapid shell of a person, but I don't blame her. It's the same with all celebs. Society actually worships them, talks non-stop about every little outfit they wear while getting coffee... we make people like this by mindlessly consuming their mindless music. She has a certain sound, a take, and it hit gold with the populace. Why would she need to be any more intelligent than she is? She has more fans than any rocket scientist. She is giving the people what they want. Probably by accident.
Interesting.
If we really want to get nit picky though, she should just be giving it to them. ; )
But yeah, I have enough friends in the industry to know that she has to say what she says, whether she believes it or not, to stay relevant, and working.
My friends who work in entertainment and lean, even center, have to keep their mouths shut. Or they will be called every dirty name in the book, cars keyed, tires flattened, etc. It's just easier as a conservative in that industry to keep your mouth shut. If you wanna work.
Which is ironic since it's the left who always says they are being silenced by DT. No, not really. Unless they make some statement about him that is libelous. Then it becomes fair game, I guess.
