Showing Original Post only (View all)SPRINGSTEEN just did something MAGAts have NEVER DONE and WILL NEVER DO. [View all]
TRUMP did a "HAPPY MORON DANCE" on the GRAVES of Robert Mueller and Rob Reiner. The MAGAts gleefully joined in the "fun." And in the midst of it, I give you BRUCE FUCKING SPRINGSTEEN, STILL the BOSS.TRUMP's response to "political violence in our beloved United States" was to tell the motherfucking PROUD BOYS and OATH KEEPERS "You're special, and we love you" after they'd sought Mike Pence to FUCKING HANG HIM, when they had urinated and defecated in and vandalized Congressional offices and hallways, when they had BEATEN cops and sprayed BEAR SPRAY in their fucking EYES...
...remember this. And I do know there are people who would refrain from ANY PRAYERS of ANY KIND for Trump. I get it. I personally haven't prayed for anything Trump-related beyond "praying" for the end of his tenure in the White House.
But this is a guy who Trump has insulted, demonized, trolled, slimed, offering a "prayer of thanks" for his safety.
Bruce Springsteen offered a "prayer of thanks" for Donald Trump at the beginning of his show in Austin on Sunday night.
The legendary rocker who has been embroiled in a war of words with the President for years offered a moment of civility by acknowledging the shooting at the White House Correspondent's Dinner, which took place the night before.
In his message, the Boss gave a prayer of thanks that our President, nor anyone in the administration, nor anyone attending, was injured (via Consequence).
We can disagree, Springsteen continued. We can be critical of those in power, and we can peacefully fight for our beliefs, but there is no place in any way, shape, or form for political violence of any kind in our beloved United States.

OP
I admire Bruce's integrity. To take such a stand is beyond what most of us can do. Esp. with trump!

Trump and his mouthpieces would say there is no place for political violence only as an accusation against Democrats

Bruce is a much bigger man than me. I heard about the shooting and went "meh"
