A Return to Upbeat, Escapist Pop
Remember “Borderline”? “Open Your Heart”? “Express Yourself”? “Vogue”? “Deeper And Deeper”? “Ray Of Light”? “Beautiful Stranger”? “Jump”? Irresistible and hooky, one and all. More of that, please.
Yes, artists evolve and mature. But you know what would be revolutionary 35 years into the Queen of Pop’s truly remarkable story? Getting back to her roots! We don’t need her to save the planet. Nor are we looking to her to fix the political system. Upon the release of Confessions on a Dance Floor 14 years ago, Madonna stated, “I feel that I just want to have fun; I want to dance; I want to feel buoyant. And I want to give other people the same feeling. There's a lot of madness in the world around us, and I want people to be happy.” That’s a distraction we’ll still gladly accept from her.
In the end, all we really want from Madonna is to put the current state of the world on a shelf for a bit, and get into her groove as we have so many times before.
And really. This. Every last word of this. And the examples this writer used are perfect. Especially throwing in Deeper and Deeper, Beautiful Stranger, and Jump (!). Realistically she hasn't put out a euphoric lead single that's TRUE POP since Hung Up.
And don't you dare say Give Me All Your Luvin'.

I agree wholeheartedly with the majority of that article minus the bullshit notion that Rebel Heart only had 7 strong songs. Bitch, please......
I especially love how the writer highlights Madonna's voice as a 'national treasure'. So great to hear appreciation for her singing.

The disrespect Trump has shown McCain and his family is disgusting even for him. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. But every now and again he manages to lower the bar to a level I never thought was humanly possible.

John McCain died.
Tragic. I didn’t agree with him politically but he was truly a kind, generous, civil man.
Never deserved the vile treatment from Trump.

To more than half of this country, yes, it's a huge deal.
We need to stop seeing everything through the lens of his base someday waking up. It's a cult. Most likely they're never going to see the light.
But for the historical record...for the straight up facts...for the rest of us, it does matter. Even if he's never impeached, the facts still matter.
Of course I’m in the category that believes it’s a huge deal. It’s an unprecedented situation. And in a functioning democracy with a functioning national press, impeachment papers may very well start being drafted.
I was more or less speaking from the point of view of a Trump supporter when I was asking if it were a “big deal”. Because it’s prerty obvious his “base” doesn’t think it is. NOTHING is a big deal to them. And that’s what is so terrifying to me. There’s blatant criminal activity in front of their faces, and they’re still more concerned about those illegals pouring across the border

But is this REALLY a big deal? Really? Do his supporters care? FoxNews had the story of the girl who was (tragically) killed by an illegal immigrant in Iowa as their top story last night. And while it is indeed a tragedy, for them to brush the Manafort and Cohen stories under the rug just goes to show the lengths they’ll protect and insulate him. And they reach millions of people on a daily basis.
So, I’ll be curious to see if this really moves the needle. I mean, I’ve said it time and time again, if his behavior over the last 70-some years hasn’t turned people off by now, nothing really will. They believe, despite how abominable he is, that he’s still better than the alternative - LIBERALS.

I'd like to see Madonna give her twist on the Greta Garbo as Mata Hari look. What do you guys think?
Yes.
I love this.
It’s much more feminine and softer. The VMA look isn’t my fave. There’s a tad too much going on and comes across as a little ‘costume-y’. If she’s gonna do the whole Earth Goddess thing 2.0, I’d like to see to see more the Met Gala performance look in the white dress. Now THAT was absolutely gorgeous.

Delusional sleazy wench!
NBC News: WATCH: Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser to President Trump: "Why is everybody so obsessed with the president of the United States that they can't even begin or finish a sentence without mentioning his name five times? It's kind of weird."
The thing about this monster is that she is pretty incredible at what she does. She can spin and lie and spew garbage without any kind of hesitation. She does it with a smile. She has ZERO regard for facts and is able to NOT answer questions better than any official I've ever seen.
What's REALLY unfortunate is that she sold her soul to her Trump without a second thought. She USED to be a very respectable and reputable conservative analyst and pollster. And while I didn't agree with anything she stood for, she used to be one of the 'better' republicans out there when she was giving her commentary.
I hope she's happy with the money she's making while she walks this earth. It won't come in handy when she rots in hell.

Well it's an ugly suit and a terrible color on him. If you're gonna do a speedo, do it right.
I was on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta with less than that on. This country worries about the stupidest shit.
-
It is absolutely incredible to me that there are actually people out there (MILLIONS OF THEM) that GENUINELY are motivated by this type of shit. The fake 'War on Christmas', the idea that there are MILLIONS of Mexicans stampeding across the border, kneeling during the national anthem - they are TRULY bothered by it all. Never mind the decay in so many of our urban communities, the opiate problem ravaging rural America, the deficit which has EXPLODED again under Trump. Real issues that have serious consequences ARE NOT on their radar.
No, they get whipped up into a frenzy by Trump and his accolades because people are taking away their right to say MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS.
Deplorable's indeed.

We've ALL been that McDonald's worker. ESPECIALLY if you've ever worked in retail, the food industry, servers, bartenders, etc. ALL OF IT.
Back when I worked at the mall, I had to hold myself back from doing what this HERO did to that bitch.
Good for her. I'd hire her in a heartbeat if I could.

GIRL BYE.
Nasty bitch. She's just like her shitty father. Only with a better makeup artist.

Some of these are so unspeakably atrocious I literally was laughing out out loud at the complete total bastardization of what they did to Madonna.
-
Ok...
He just didn't see the apostrophe. It's all good now. All good.
-
I mean, it’s treason. Right? Did he not just get up on the world stage and commit treason?
A stunning display from this madman even by Trumpian standards. Just. Wow.
-
Well.
I guess I'll take some crumbs from Madonna over nothing at all. And these are some pretty small fucking crumbs.
Oh well. It's something.
The video is pretty opulent and reminds me of of her whole Super Bowl show and look. Maybe a little special effects-y but it is pretty gorgeous. The song has definitely grown on me and I'm sure it'll be on repeat by tomorrow.

Between the MDNA skincare, the #soon that turned into #forever, and the non Nikki Minaj duet, I'm just gonna keep my expectations as low as possible so I'm not disappointed again.
But I'm REALLY hoping it's something..... anything. This Madonna drought has gone on for far too long.
-
Only someone as mind boggling stupid as Sarah Palin could be 'duped' like this. Doesn't she have assistants or publicists or ANYONE that filters this shit for her?
God she's the fucking worst. The original Donald Trump who helped usher in the current toxic political climate we're in.
Cunt.

That would be marvelous.
The genuine adoration Arianna has for Madonna is truly adorable. That picture with them speaks a thousand words.

Tom Arnold, Roseanne's ex, said he and his attorney Michael Cohen have ALL the tapes and are going to take down Trump. Holy Shit this looks ominous for Trumpy Dumpy.
We've heard all of this before. That there's some tape of him out there calling somebody on the set of the Apprentice the 'n' word.
If these tapes existed, I'm sure someone would've released them. Besides, the majority of his followers won't care anyway. He was right - He COULD go out onto 5th Ave and shoot someone and his Cult would still vote for him. He would just say 'GUNS KILL PEOPLE! People DON'T kill people! #FAKENEWS'

This is....real. I thought it was #FakeNews because, I mean, she’s not that stupid. Right? They’re not that tone deaf.
But she is and they are. Her publicist responded that it’s “just a jacket”.
These fucking people..........

She can fuck off too
She's as big of a pile of shit as her father is. She just does everything with a softer voice and in better clothing and makeup.
Total garbage. The entire family needs to be wiped from the face of the Earth.

There's a protest planned in my city this Saturday.
I'll be there.
New NIKE campaign caused controversy
in Politics and World Events
Posted
This all started about 2 years ago when he would kneel during the playing of the our National Anthem at the beginning of football games. He was taking a knee in silent protest of racial injustice and the innocent killing of black men and woman by white cops during petty traffic stops. It really wasn't that big of a controversy until our Racist In Chief began tweeting about it 24/7 and screaming about it at his authoritarian rallies in PoDunk America. Then he, Fox News, and his minions began saying he was 'protesting the flag and OUR TROOPS'.
Which is a blatant lie. But it worked. Middle America was APPALLED AND AGHAST that a bunch of BLACK football players wouldn't just SHUT THE FUCK UP and throw the ball. How DARE they take a knee in silent protest while our National Anthem is being played!
So now Nike picked him to represent the Just Do It 30th anniversary campaign and all hell has broke lose again. It's one of the most unbelievable displays of fake outrage I've ever seen. You have these fucktards literally burning, cutting, destroying, and ripping up their Nike clothing in protest. Merchandise that's already bought and paid for. AND they're giving Nike a shit ton of free publicity.
It's a funny thing to watch. Maybe instead, these pro-flag, pro anthem, pro-troop, pro-America TRUE AMERICANS could, oh I don't know, maybe donate their Nike gear to the poor, homeless veterans they pretend to care so deeply about.
