Word is getting round and it would appear there are more jumping on the bandwagon.

White Stripes sue Donald Trump for ‘flagrant misappropriation’ of their song ‘Seven Nation Army’

The White Stripes are suing Donald Trump for using their song, “Seven Nation Army” after it was included in a campaign video as part of his bid for the US presidency.

The well-known opening riff was included in footage of the former president boarding a private jet on the campaign trail last week. It was posted by a member of his staff on X/Twitter – it has since been deleted. The band were incensed by its use and singer Jack White promised to take the matter to court, at the time.

Now, it appears the band have made good on that threat as White shared the first page of a lawsuit to his Instagram page on Monday (9 September). He captioned the post: “This machine sues fascists”.

Guess White Strips is out of money. The artists are playing the hate game. That's fine. I do not need to listen to their music. However, Elton John is not playing the hate game. I have and will continue ot enjoy his music because he is not jumping on the bandwagon of hate. Go Rocket Man!

My friend was there. He confirmed what you have stated here.

Yep, I reckon there could be a few scores to settle, depending on the eventual outcome of course.

Following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, it was revealed through court proceedings and news reports that multiple FBI informants had infiltrated the Proud Boys. Some key points include:
  1. FBI Informants in Proud Boys Leadership: Several members of the Proud Boys, including prominent figures, were later identified as FBI informants. For example, Enrique Tarrio, the national chairman of the Proud Boys, was revealed to have been an informant for federal and local law enforcement before the January 6 event. Tarrio reportedly provided information on various groups, although he has denied being an informant during the Capitol riot.
  2. Ongoing Cooperation with Law Enforcement: Reports emerged indicating that multiple members of the Proud Boys were working with the FBI and providing details about the group's activities. This cooperation was known to have started before January 6 and extended afterward. The information collected by these informants was used to aid in investigations related to the Capitol attack and to monitor other extremist activities.
  3. Court Testimonies and Legal Proceedings: During trials of Proud Boys members involved in the Capitol attack, it was revealed through court documents that informants had provided significant intelligence leading up to the events. This included information about plans, communications, and strategies discussed among members. However, defense attorneys have argued that some of these informants were not privy to the full scope of actions being planned for January 6, and their intelligence was not used to prevent the violence.
The existence of FBI informants within the Proud Boys indicates the use of such individuals to gain insight into the activities of extremist groups. There has been significant public interest in how much information federal agencies had before January 6 and whether they acted effectively based on that intelligence.

Where is the DNC bomber :|\\

The case of the DNC (Democratic National Committee) bomber from January 6, 2021, remains unsolved. On the night before the Capitol riot, January 5, 2021, an unidentified person placed two pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee in Washington, D.C. The bombs were discovered on January 6, just before the riot, and successfully defused by law enforcement. Here are key details:
Timeline and Discovery

  • The pipe bombs were placed at the DNC and RNC buildings on the evening of January 5, 2021, between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., according to surveillance footage released by the FBI.
  • On January 6, shortly before the Capitol riot began, law enforcement was alerted to the presence of the bombs. The RNC bomb was discovered around 12:45 p.m., and the DNC bomb was found shortly after, around 1:15 p.m. Both bombs were defused without causing injury.
Surveillance Footage and Suspect Description

  • The FBI released surveillance footage showing a person wearing a hoodie, gloves, and a face mask walking through the area and placing the bombs.
  • The individual carried a backpack that seemed to contain the bombs and wore distinctive footwear: Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow logo.
  • Despite widespread sharing of the suspect's image and significant public interest, the bomberÂ’s identity remains unknown.
Investigation and Theories

  • The FBI has been leading the investigation, offering a $500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect. However, as of now, the individual has not been caught.
  • Some investigators have suggested that the bombs were potentially intended as a distraction for law enforcement on January 6. If they had detonated, they could have diverted security and police resources away from the Capitol, where the riot was escalating.
  • However, the devices were not set to detonate immediately and were discovered hours before the peak of the Capitol violence, so it's unclear how much of a role, if any, they played in the overall events of January 6.
The mystery of the DNC and RNC bomber has continued to intrigue investigators, the public, and commentators, but so far, no significant breakthroughs have been publicly reported.

Ok you were right-There will not be any riots not even demonstration among the Trump supporters if he lose.

Only person who will demonstrate and it will be in a childish manner is the person himself. claim there has been voter fraud and it's unfair.

Another question regarding Dargos claim. what the heck is a far right fascist? You can be one or the other but not both. Yes I know Wikipedia lists fascists as far right wing. But fascism is a socialist state something the right wing of political spectrum is notoriously against. As Giovani Gentile the father Fascism stated “Fascism is a form of socialism, in fact, it is its most viable form.” Gentile like other left wingers believed that all private action should be oriented to serve society.

IMO if I were to describe extreme far right it would be Anarchy.

Well. that's debate number one done and dusted and I didn't think Trump would perform as well as he did but imho he was a clear second to Harris on the night.

mapuc 09-11-24 05:50 AM

I did not see the debate-However if I should believe our reporters Harris won the debate.

Trump did the Trump....all over the place. It was his to win, but in fine Trump fashion he went 20 different places for one question. That's on Trump. He needs to get it together if he has any chance to win.

However, Harris did not explain her policies. Danced around her flip flops. She likes to say her values are the same but she is now ok with several things she was not in 2020. She said she was always for fracking and signed the IRA bill that opened more land for fracking. Yet in 2020 she is videoed stating she would ban fracking. She then declared she sees fossil fuels as part of the energy plan. But supported the green new deal in 2020. Her values have not changed but her song and dance for votes has.

Harris will win in Nov. Hang on to your checkbook.

Taylor Swift has endorsed Harris. Millions of votes going her way. These votes probably would have anyway. Maybe Taylor will let Trump use one of her songs.

I'd like to mention Harris stated she is ok with any type of abortion. That could be/mean anything. Even continuing the abortion of a baby that miraculously survives one.

At the end of the day Taylor Swift endorsement goes to Harris.

Agreed and I'll just add....pretty much the same tripe we are fed by our own politicians here in the UK

And to add, Taylor Swift is a self-serving idiot. Of course she decides to endorse after the debate. It was all about her. She is the horses arse.
