White South Africans arrive in US under Trump refugee plan

Donald Trump says they are victims of "racial discrimination", which is strongly denied by South Africa.

I was just going to post the same.
Full of insane juxtapositions.
Eg “We’re sending a clear message that the United States really rejects the egregious persecution of people on the basis of race in South Africa.”

Will assume this is true. Do your own fact checking...

 

[leedswolf]

TBF he's right about his music...

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Trump and Springsteen arguing is like a fever dream.

Then you wouldn't have been at Roundhay Park in 1985 for his 4 hour Born in the USA concert in 1985?

Absolutely not. He's shite (IMO, IMHO).

Would have loved to see him in his pomp but never got round to it. The E street band are absolutely fabulous.

Haha. It was a sunny day. The concert was superb and the Tetley's flowed. No phones in those days too!

The 'Boss' and Tetley's. Both overrated.

 

[BillyDee]

Is Tetley's rated?

In Yorkshire? Absolutely?

 

[Keef]

Thought they’d be on the Yorkshire tea train not the Tetleys up there tbh

I was in Manchester on Wednesday night. IMO he’s great.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't mind him, but he's tainted by looking a bit like Dean Saunders and having John Gregory as a superfan.

and having John Gregory as a superfan.

Ooo super fan

Blue collar 70s/80s New York music, Joel pisses all over Springsteen

 

[Alan]

As someone born in the USA, fuck that song and fuck Bruce Springsteen.

They're both very good but I prefer Springsteen, different styles.

 

[sycophantia]

I'd have thought you'd be a fan of that song, it embodies how he thinks of America, pride in what it has offered but not afraid to criticise the things he despises, such as Trump, Bush and 'the man'

 

[Alan]

You ever start to hate song because it’s overplayed on the radio? Imagine that, just also you didn’t like the song to begin with (I find his voice very unpleasant to listen to tbh), and then tie it to a few holidays where it is essentially played nonstop for the preceding and following weeks.

That might be hyperbolic but fuck me does it feel that way.

That era isn’t really mine, tbf. Which is odd as I grew up with it via my dad.
