[NHvet]

9. There's this lady that comes to the home my mom is in.

Maybe she and the magician guy that came by once are available and without scruples.

[BaronChocula]

13. Maybe this guy

[spooky3]

39. He was so good as this character! Nt

[Shoeless Louis]

14. I hear Kyle Rittenhouse can play his mother' helper.

[wnylib]

42. I'm surprised that I haven't seen Lee Greenwood's name

mentioned yet as one of the performers.

[Srkdqltr]

2. Ted Nugent, Kid Rock??

[Celerity]

3. ewwwwwŵwww

[DBoon]

4. That makes them perfect for a Trump event?

[Celerity]

6. Nasty gits, the lot of 'em

[Buns_of_Fire]

5. This is shaping up to be like the Army's 250th birthday parade last year.

You know, the one Emperor Freak tried to hijack to make it all about him...

[Tanuki]

7. For DUers who aren't familiar with her,

Martina McBride has been outspoken in her support of LGBT rights and the Black Lives Matters protests. One of her most iconic hits is Independence Day (don't let the title fool you). Lyrics were written by Gretchen Peters

https://genius.com/Martina-mcbride-independence-day-lyrics
"[Verse 1]
Well, she seemed alright by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So, I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day

[Verse 2]
Well, word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered, some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
When time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day
[Chorus]
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

[Verse 3]
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now, I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day

[Chorus]
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
[Outro]
Roll the stone away
It's Independence Day"

[Tanuki]

8. ..."roll the stone away, make the guilty pay...."

Go Martina!

[niyad]

15. In looking at her wiki bio, she does much work in the area of Domestic

Viiolence as well.

[FoxNewsSucks]

16. Obviously Sean Hannity has never listened to any

of the lyrics of that song beyond the chorus, and is totally wrong about it too.

[marble falls]

28. They pay as much attention to the lyrics as they did to Springsteen's "Born in the USA" - nothing else past the ...

... title, "Independence Day".

[COL Mustard]

32. That used to surprise me, back in the days when I actually listened to him.

More than likely he's just clueless or doesn't care about the rest of the song not fitting the narrative. Y'know, if she was a good wife he wouldn't have had to hit her.

[obamanut2012]

36. Yup, which is why I was shocked her name was on there!

She's one of the few known-liberal Country singers.

[Srkdqltr]

10. Obviously she was invited under false pretenses.

[ToxMarz]

11. Maybe they can get Musk to stagger around the stage waving a chainsaw (and a flag) like drug addled lunatic for an hour.

[Norrrm]

17. A Trump flag with eleven stripes.

[COL Mustard]

33. But Obama wore a tan suit!

Benghazi! Her emails! Yada yada yada!!!

[Norrrm]

34. The evil tan suit

The evil tan suit

[FoxNewsSucks]

40. There used to be a pic that had a penis outline

drawn around the white part of tRump's shitty-fitting tuxedo.

He must not have liked it, as it seems to now be removed from the internets. I thought it was funny

[wnylib]

43. Obama looks damned good in that suit.

[FoxNewsSucks]

41. He's stupid enough,

or egotistical enough, to think that the "trump mobile" line counts as part of the flag

[Shoeless Louis]

12. Good job Martina n/t

[niyad]

18. Dear Martina, thank you for opting out of this horror show. While

your explanation was very thoughtful, WHAT IN THE F'n HELL were you thinking in the first place??? NOTHING connected to the orange pedophile and wannabe dictator is "nonpolitical", regardless of what he or his toadies might say.

[hamsterjill]

24. You read my mind!

I'm glad to see her decide not to perform, but anyone going anywhere near anything Trump related makes me a little suspicious. I mean, come on!

[tulipsandroses]

19. There's always Nikki Manaj

She can do hit songs like Anaconda.

[La Coliniere]

20. Roseanne can sing the national anthem

[AZLD4Candidate]

21. Let's see who is still performing at this bullshit event

EDITED TO SHOW that the Commodores pulled out of this bullshit.

Edited again to show C&C Music Factory pulled out.

Edited to show Martina McBride, and Bret Michaels pulling out of this bullshit

[DinahMoeHum]

26. I take issue with Bret Michaels as a "never was". . .

He was, after all, lead singer for the glam heavy metal band Poison, who churned out hits during the 1980's (over 65 million albums sold) In his solo career, he was worked with other artists from different genres.

[marble falls]

29. C&C claims they are not going - only a former member is going as C&C.

[Skittles]

22. PREACH IT, SISTER MARTINA

[JohnnyRingo]

23. *OUCH*

This is starting to get painful.
And deeply embarrassing, and we all know what happens when he gets embarrassed.

Look out Aruba!

[underpants]

25. No kidding. Hannity used to use one of her songs as his opening buffer.

[wnylib]

44. Cuba

[spooky3]

27. Who is left? Geriatric Rock? Ted Stoogent? John Ashcroft singing

“Let the Eagle Soar”?

[Blue Owl]

31. Bwah! Maybe a duet with Ashcroft/Lara tRump (the Bride of Gums)...

Let the eagle screech, like it’s never screeched before….
From rocky coast, to golden shore….

[spooky3]

38. 😁😁😁

[wnylib]

45. Lee Greenwood?

[Emile]

30. Independence Day

?si=tImRz8gxiuH7Kd8x

[LetMyPeopleVote]

35. This makes me smile

[obamanut2012]

37. Is this a new poster with new singers?

Because Barenaked Ladies are both Canadian and very liberal.

[Danascot]

46. Maybe he could get

those very enthusiastic kids that greeted him in China.
