Haven't you seen that gaga is topping the charts
http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-week07-2019.htm
Madonna can not realist new material until gaga goes down, that is why it will be around May. can not take the risk to get compare.
It is gaga time now, then after the Oscars (she better not get it, because she does not deserve it) people will be ready to new things, after.
Make sense
One week ban.
Effective immediately.

The obsession on here with her having dark hair is manic and hilarious
I'm here for it too... until it happens and then we get the threads moaning that she is actually better as a blond, especially at her age - less harsh, less ageing, and that she now looks like any old Italian woman, etc. Then cue the essays saying it was only when she went blond she made it and became a superstar, and that she should go back to her roots.

Imagine living such a frivolous life.
He doesn't appear to have a job or make any real contribution to society - all he does is use his family's money to fund his petty self-indulgences. I find that more disgusting then his physical appearance.
Ignore my 2014 post.

I have feeling this era gonna be huge and M is very very very serious about it!!!
Does this mean she will now get paid for articles and other celebs will tweet out prearranged praise?
Just like certain other public figures...

Donald the Unready
Betsy DeVos, whom Donald Trump has nominated as education secretary, doesn’t know basic education terms, doesn’t know about federal statutes governing special education, but thinks school officials should carry guns to defend against grizzly bears.
Monica Crowley, selected as deputy national security adviser, withdrew after it was revealed that much of her past writing was plagiarized. Many other national security positions remain unfilled, and it’s unclear how much if any of the briefing materials prepared by the outgoing administration have even been read.
Meanwhile Rex Tillerson, selected as secretary of state, casually declared that America would block Chinese access to bases in the South China Sea, apparently unaware that he was in effect threatening to go to war if China called his bluff.
Do you see a pattern here?
It was obvious to anyone paying attention that the incoming administration would be blatantly corrupt. But would it at least be efficient in its corruption?
Many Trump voters certainly thought they were choosing a smart businessman who would get things done. And even those who knew better may have hoped that the president-elect, his ego finally sated, would settle down to running the country — or at least delegate the boring business of governing America to people actually capable of doing the job.
But it’s not happening. Mr. Trump hasn’t pivoted, matured, whatever term you prefer. He’s still the insecure, short-attention-span egomaniac he always was. Worse, he is surrounding himself with people who share many of his flaws — perhaps because they’re the sort of people with whom he is comfortable.
So the typical Trump nominee, in everything from economics to diplomacy to national security, is ethically challenged, ignorant about the area of policy he or she is supposed to manage and deeply incurious. Some, like Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump’s choice as national security adviser, are even as addicted as their boss to internet conspiracy theories. This isn’t a team that will compensate for the commander in chief’s weaknesses; on the contrary, it’s a team that will amplify them.
Why does this matter? If you want a model for how the Trump-Putin administration is likely to function (or malfunction), it’s helpful to recall what happened during the Bush-Cheney years.
People tend to forget the extent to which the last Republican administration was also characterized by cronyism, the appointment of unqualified but well-connected people to key positions. It wasn’t as extreme as what we’re seeing now, but it was striking at the time. Remember “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job”? And it caused very real damage.
In particular, if you want some notion of what Trump governance is likely to look like, consider the botched occupation of Iraq. People who knew anything about nation-building weren’t wanted; party loyalists — and corporate profiteers — took their place. There’s even a little-known connection: Betsy DeVos’s brother, Erik Prince, founded Blackwater, the mercenary outfit that, among other things, helped destabilize Iraq by firing into a crowd of civilians.
Now the conditions that prevailed in Iraq — blind ideology, contempt for expertise, effective absence of any enforcement of ethics rules — have come to America, but in a far more acute form.
And what will happen when we face a crisis? Remember, Katrina was the event that finally revealed the costs of Bush-era cronyism to all.
Crises of some kind are bound to occur on any president’s watch. They appear especially likely given the crew that’s coming in and their allies in Congress: Given the stated priorities of the people about to take charge, we could very well see collapsing health care, a trade war and a military standoff with China just in the next year.
But even if we somehow skirt those dangers, stuff always happens. Maybe there will be a new economic crisis, helped along by the rush to undo financial regulation. Maybe there will be a foreign affairs crisis, say over adventurism in the Baltics by Mr. Trump’s good friend Vladimir. Maybe it will be something we’re not thinking about. Then what?
Real crises need real solutions. They can’t be resolved with a killer tweet, or by having your friends in the F.B.I. or the Kremlin feed the media stories that take your problems off the front page. What the situation demands are knowledgeable, levelheaded people in positions of authority.
But as far as we know, almost no people meeting that description will be in the new administration, except possibly the nominee for defense secretary — whose nickname just happens to be “Mad Dog.”
So there you have it: an administration unprecedented in its corruption, but also completely unprepared to govern. It’s going to be terrific, let me tell you.
This is fucking scary.

Hitler was a dictator. Surely the US is different? I doubt Trump will have a free reign.
Bush was president and he destroyed Iraq (which is more Hitler like IMO than Trump) but you survived. get it together.
He was democratically elected before he turned dictator.
But yes the comparisons are over the top. I think the biggest meltdowns will come from the trump loyalists that are let down by their man who can't improve their quality of life, build a giant wall and give them jobs.
I feel like he'll do something dumb or something will come up that will lead to impeachment before the 4 years is up.

After the initial shock of it all, I'm now eagerly awaiting this populist struggling attempts to please his voters by:
- bringing back long gone manufacturing jobs
- eliminating ISIS with a click of the fingers
- deporting millions of people
- building a giant wall along the southern border (that Mexico will pay)
- improving people's perception of their quality of life on the 21st January.
If you think Obama failed to live up to his 'changey hope' message... WATCH THIS SPACE.

Well, to give you a back story. Two of the individuals I'm speaking for are elected community officials who never jumped on the alt right bandwagon you're thinly referencing. These are people who have worked within our community, with democrats, religious leaders, minority leaders, and absolutely reject the race bating, hard line immigration policies, etc. As a gay man, they've worked with me to help reach out to those who may not understand the many struggles our community faces and have been to the gay youth groups that I volunteer at.
So, please spare me your generalizations that all republicans share this vile philosophy from Trump and the alt right. There have been plenty of conservative voices that aren't on a national stage who have been working to try to stamp down this rhetoric. Unfortunately, their voices are shouted down or they're voted out of office.
I never said that.
The party has clearly moved away from your friends. But who let it move away so far to the right that the base elected Trump as their nominee?

Yikes. He's going full on into scorched Earth mode. He's going to blow up the entire republican party on his way down.
It saddens me that we've reached this point in American politics. There's a certain kind of despair I can't quite put my finger on. Yes, the republicans more or less created this monster, but I know plenty of like minded, rational, and pragmatic conservatives and republicans. Some of them are very close friends, and they're so horrified by all of this. This isn't their party. This is the party of Rush, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Brietbart and it's horrific to witness it succumb to these depths.
It's just unthinkable that we have another 30 days of this. I mean, if today before 2pm EST time can be THIS eventful with what he's spewing out, I can't imagine what the next month will be like........
Sorry, but this is their party.
Republicans in leadership positions have been giving a wink and nudge to the social extremists with their rhetoric, if not actions, around women's rights, immigration, safeguarding christianity, squashing gender and sexuality issues. A lot of the republicans don't follow through on the extreme rhetoric but use it to energise a base that will come out to vote. They have been cultivating this rabid group and not always delivering on the crazy agenda when in power. Now along comes Trump and they feel like he's their man that will finally fulfil what establish Republicans allude to or do in half measures.
This is the party that establishment republicans created by playing divisive politics.
Your friends have to deal with it and shoulder the blame.

I love how Trump says the video is over a decade old, and now Pence saying it's 11 years old. Like it was said when he was young guy and didn't know any better. He's in his 70s! 11 years ago he was in his 60s not teens or 20s!!

He was 'useless' because he spent the first few years trying to reason with the unreasonable and squandered away his senate and house advantage. Where he wasn't "useless" was with the economy and jobs.
What he should really do is go and fix the potholes in people's streets. :rotfl:

I wonder if there will come a time when he grows up that he'll look back on this with shame?
Until then he should be locked up.
