This post is going to make me incredibly unpopular, but for those of you who read my posts frequently, you know I'm a realist, especially when it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs. I'm not going to say things just because it's a popular opinion.

EVERYTHING'S UP-TO-DATE IN KANSAS CITY?
ReplyDeleteBilly Joel, a 69-year-old NYC Jew, who was popular on the music scene in the 1970's, played in KC last night.
Joel has been married 4 times, and his current wife is half his age. Female fans who are feminist Democrats conveniently overlook this fact because Joel is a wealthy celebrity supporter of Democratic causes. Can you say hypocrite?
Don't Ask Me Why
What is the significance of his being a Jew?
ReplyDeleteTrump has been married three times & his current wife is half his age.
Can you say hypocrite?
What is the significance of his age?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the significance of his being from NYC?
Donald Trump is from NYC.
Only a Nazi would point out that someone was a Jew, as if that mattered to anyone else.
I don't think "feminist Democrats" give a damn what you think.
They are tired of the Greedy Old Perverts.
@1:58 earns the win. THANK You for rhetorically beating the shit out of grandpa Nazi in public. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteMy only correction to 12:46 would be:
ReplyDelete"69 year-old FAT, NYC jew".
I will add: finding stupid people that will throw money at some old antique, croaking through 40 year old songs.
^^^ it’s no different than you going to a Brittany Spears or Taylor twit concert, get over it dummies
ReplyDelete1:21 are you a kcps flunky? He’s only 24 years older than the most beautiful First Lady ever!
ReplyDelete12:46 I'm not a Billy Joel fan so I looked up some facts about him. He has sold out 102, yes 102, straight shows at Madison Square Garden. The last sold out show was last month. This month will be the 103rd. He used to bang Christie Brinkley. Pretty much all I need. I'm sure you have accomplished way, way more in life. I don't know what he supports but I'm a giant music follower and haven't heard him loud and upfront about anything. I have seen him go to schools and invite students to play with him. God, what an asshole he is. You have fun staying home tonight and watching YouTube videos of Alex Jones, being poor and not getting laid.
ReplyDeleteThe lead grandpa reference is what's inaccurate. There was a wide range of ages at the show. Maybe your hipster uncle and tipsy aunt were there, but not grandpa.
ReplyDelete4:37 exposed the truth. Geezers across KC were in their basements watching Trump's MO rally online. Too scared to go anywhere because of the blacks or MS-13 threats they learned about from WND and infowars. Typing 'get off my lawn' type comments here and musing about Jew control. Sad.
He is one the few people in the US to wreak a Citroën automobile :

AND THEY ALL MISSED THE POINT!
ReplyDeleteThe very first line read, "EVERYTHING'S UP-TO-DATE IN KANSAS CITY?"
It was a biting commentary on many residents mistaken belief that they live in a vibrant urban cosmopolitan center, replete with a TOY TRAIN.
The "NYC Jew" reference was apropos as politics was mentioned in the commentary. American Jews (like American Blacks) are a captured demographic of the Democratic Party, with 71-percent voting for Clinton in 2016, 69-percent for Obama in 2012, and 78-percent for Obama in 2008.
The original comment said NOTHING about Trump (pro/con) but please notice how 1:21, 1:58, and 2:12 (likely the same person)allowed their imagination to run amok while expressing their own hate/bias/prejudice. My how quickly they are to start dropping the "Nazi" accusation. Just goose-step all over any opinions which ruffle your soiled feathers.
4:37 (perhaps the same person yet again) throws out the "Alex Jones" accusation which is the same type of dismissive tactic as the "Nazi" slur.
Not a fan of most Democrats, nor most Republicans (including Trump), and lamenting the dearth of people who can still think and debate without mindlessly throwing out their "Nazi" retorts.
