Alex Soros and the Carlyle group bought the rights to a bunch of her music and are basically using it against her
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/why-taylor-swift-has-legitimate-beef-with-george-soros-family?_amp=true

Isn’t this normal for record companies to own rights to the songs? Like it’s why Trump still has music he can play at rallies, he can pay the companies for the right to play it rather than the musician’s who act retarded so often.

Taylor Swift just sounded like she wanted to end any business deals with the record company and keep all possible earnings from her music to herself, which isn’t how the music industry works. Hell its why concerts are such a big thing for musicians, they get ton of money from tickets and also get to try selling plenty merch at them.

Generally. But that doesn't mean that the new owners of the company didn't start exerting pressure on her in ways the old ones didn't. Like if the company's really being bankrolled at that level, it can afford to just stop putting her music out. No more reprints, no more new "best of". Maybe they keep her under contract but don't actually give her studio time or release any more of her new stuff, they just shove it in the archives. Suddenly all her royalties and avenues to get new ones dry up.
 
Imagine thinking that the left can meme
They can't meme in the internet meme sense. They can meme in the classical sense though otherwise we wouldn't be having our cities be burned down because they think black people are facing literal genocide and that Kyle was a evil white supremacist who fired into a crowd of peaceful protesters.

That used to be the deal. You'd sign with a major label. They'd keep the copyright to your works and in return pay for studio time and give you promotion. Artists would usually make money through publishing (covers and whatnot), touring, and merch. Taylor's first album came out in 2006. So she signed on just as that era of music was about to end. It was in the late 2000s that things began to change and finalized in the early 2010s.

Now of days, artists keep the masters for themselves and licenses them over to the labels. Or just do it indie. DAW software and hardware has made it so anyone can make a professional recording at home for under $5k. Hell, you can do it for $2k. Studios are really only used for its ambiance or because its historical or it can produce a really good drum sound.

Impression I get is that this sorta routine pressure, but Swift figured she could use media clout to pressure them to give in and got to find out that businessmen don’t like giving up money unless it’s for something. Which I just find retarded for someone to think they could pressure a soulless mega corporation to give up a huge amount of money to be nice to her.
 
Probably late but did anyone else read Mary Trump's trashy book or just me? For those who don't know, her dad was Fred Trump Jr, the son Fred Sr tried to groom as his successor but he failed so Donald became Fred Sr's new favorite. When Fred Sr died he divided the bulk of his money between his 4 living children, but Mary's salty because she thinks it should have been divided 5 ways with her and her brother getting what would have been her dad's cut but Fred Sr said no, he was a loser who drank himself to death in his 40s, fuck him. She glosses over the fact that she still got the same trust fund and business shares the rest of Fred Sr's grandchildren had. Honestly she doesn't sound like she realizes it, the lack of self awareness was remarkable.

She sprinkled in some Hillary clit riding and blaming Donald for every corona death under his presidency and saying he's a racist who's going to end American democracy and shit, but never really backs that up. Donald gave her a pity job after she dropped out of college and continued inviting her family to events despite no one really wanting them there, she complains about his taste in wine, that the fancy restaurant he liked for family events wasn't up to her standards, he gives shitty Christmas presents, and she thinks his politeness towards her was fake (she has a lot of bitchy things to say about his wives as well). There was a lot of interesting background about Fred Trump Sr if you don't know anything about him and how he got so stinking rich, most of the book actually focuses on what an asshole he was (which is probably true) and Mary's big reveal is how the Trumps wormed their way out of paying proper taxes by undervaluing their assets, which if she got an equal cut I'm sure she wouldn't have said a fucking word about. Basically she spends the entire book using her bullshit psych degree to explain why her loser daddy being a drunken piece of fuck was ackshually her grandparents' and Donald's fault so she deserves the money. Yeah ok.

Anyway, the whole thing is just dripping with seethe but it's mostly bog standard TDS and complaining that Donald has a bit of an ego (you don't say).

This is my favorite excerpt, you can skip the book because this sums it up perfectly:

The idea that anyone else was entitled to money or support he or she
wasn’t obviously earning was impossible for Donald and my grandfather
to fathom
. Nothing my mother had received as the former wife of the
oldest son of a very wealthy family, who had raised two of Fred and Mary
Trump’s grandchildren almost single-handedly, had come from my
grandfather
, and it certainly hadn’t come from Donald, yet they both acted
as if it did.

:story::story::story: Bitch your grandfather was the one who made the fuck you money, he would've been within his rights to burn it if he so pleased. How many copies of this asswipe is sitting in a Clinton Foundation storage unit right now?
 
I love how Wheeler seems to think the reason the mob is coming for him is completely down to the fact they haven't heard about how much he SUPPORTS the peaceful BLM protesters... when the reality is, they're coming for him because they can smell his fear.... and they want a Mayor's scalp for the kill list....
 
I'm old enough to remember that these protests were started over police brutality and everyone, left and right, was in agreement that the cop was in the wrong and people wanted to talk about fixing the system.

That position has aged like sour cream in a desert.
Motte, meet bailey.

Sooooo she's a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum that her richest relative didn't spoil her sufficiently.

What.

A.

Surprise.
 
Holy fuck I've never heard of Chris Hahn before this moment, but I want to beat his fucking face in from a minute of his yap engaging. Neo-Nazis killing Dorn? The kid in Kenosha not being Self-Defense? I hope this guy gets in a car wreck. Fuck It. I'm MATI. This guy is a fucking tumor in a suit.
Faagx News trots him out all the time. He's like a male version of that vaguely brown woman they get who comments on fashion and Marianne-Williamson level crystal spiritualism bullshit. He looks like a cunt to everyone, and everything he says has a sneering, blatant, and unapologetic dishonesty. That's why Fox likes him on. He's kind of like a Creepy Porn Lawyer (Michael Avenatti) who has somehow properly concealed his financial malfeasance and collections of rape dungeons.

He tries to do this fun-loving, light-hearted, regular-joe-in-the-know, but appears like a sadist. Probably the best regular contributor Fox shells money out to.

TL;DR: He's a Michael Avenatti who can marginally control his sadism and opportunism, but only to an uncanny valley level.

Anything Hahn touches creates an instant revulsion to it by normal people. Its fascinating.
 
I was more "acquaintances" after a certain point, in large part because he refused to keep politics to the containment channel and kept baiting me and the few other right-leaning people on the server with stuff on the other channels. He finally got a small handful of people openly criticizing him for it, at which point he fled while crytyping about how he just couldn't handle the toxic environment where he had to tiptoe around politics all the time.

Out of probably two dozen people on the server, I and maybe two others were the only ones that disagreed with him politically. The rest are all left-wingers but at least vaguely reasonable people who don't like the socjust bullshit. He and the server's token socialist simply could not take an environment where only 90% of people agreed with them politically instead of 100%.

But it's an interesting thing to keep in mind for all these TDS sufferers who whine about getting into arguments with their mean nasty Republican family. Like the journopig, most of them are probably baiting their family into said arguments, trying to make them mad, and then getting offended when it works.
A bit of wisdom. They are not a friend if they are only online.
Imagine the 9/11 "give up your freedoms" panic on steroids. I have no interest in seeing 50 more versions of the Patriot Act all written according to the Gospel. Pence wouldn't be remotely close to being the only person exploiting that fear to clamp down harder on all of us. Everyone and their extended family in D.C. would be champing at the bit to push their bills through the door before everyone starts thinking about the long-term repercussions, again.
We would see Lindsey Graham and Nancy Pelosi walking lockstep, while both canonized any FBI investigation.
I'd love to see the congressional democrats try to reenact the assassination of Julius Caesar i.e., a bunch of congressmen trying to jump him during the state of the union speech. It would fail, of course, because the Roman senators were all military veterans with weapons training, and Caesar didn't have any bodyguards inside the Senate House. Almost no Congressmen are veterans or know anything about weapons, and Trump has the Secret Service. Though watching fat little Jerry Nadler and ancient Maxine Waters wobbling towards the president with daggers and getting shot down by the Secret Service would absolutely be the best piece of political theater in my lifetime.
Just to flesh out the picture you're painting, you need Pelosi screaming "Off with his head", Feinstein drinking a martini and putting out her chiffon on the ass of her handler/commisar, and Adam Schiff attemptng to cross the floor in an armless break-dance worm move on his belly as he spits out "Russia! Russia!" from his mandibles. The director's cut would have Jerry Nadler on a Bowflex, temple veins pulsing as he grunts "Impeeeeaaachment" right before the brain aneurism. Extra points if it's subtitled in Chinese and Spanish. Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon can weep openly over Hillary Clinton smirking with a wild-eyed "I tole yooo so" interview discussing the aftermath.
"several police cars"

Mayor Lightfoot has the entire street stacked with police vehicles. How many precincts must have had to show up to accomplish this?

How many fewer police units are in her constituents' neighborhoods tonight to accommodate this abject hypocrisy?
I've had several police cars in front of my street. It's a platoon or at best a company. She's pushing battalion level shit.
