Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

So you figure, after about 15 more rallies where he plays the song anyway, the judge might have a hearing about whether or not to ask Trump to knock it off.
Trump doesn't ask for permission. He does what he wants and dares you to do something about it, knowing that 99.99999% of people either can't or won't.
And after the hearing where they decide he definitely needs to knock it off, file to postpone, because the supreme court should definitely weigh in on these pressing matters.
Fun Fact about Isaac Hayes, he played the character "Chef" on South Park for many years. There's more to this story...
I forget what the beef was with him. Was he a scientologist?
Yup. He got mad and quit after they mocked scientology, so they poorly spliced together a bunch of his old lines to make an episode where he joins a pedo cult and dies a very undignified death.
While I liked the character of Chef, this was unquestionably the right call. Caving to Hayes would've been equivalent to removing one of the balls from the tank that the manatees use to write Family Guy.
No, Hayes didn't do any of that. He was dealing with the aftermath of a stroke and the cultists around him made the decision to quit south park. Matt and trey found out later. That's why, after the initial episode roasting chef and even reintroducing him as Darth chef, we haven't seen him ever again.
Yeah I guess I should've said Hayes/Scientology because they essentially acted as the same.
It's a shame how much damage that cult is allowed to do to people.
I've been to a scientology city. They're creepy as fuck. Good for those two sticking to their guns.
I never knew what the deal was, thanks.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Isaac Hayes III suggested that the Church of Scientology made his soul legend father quit South Park—despite the narrative that the singer and actor quit in protest. “Isaac Hayes did not quit South Park; someone quit South Park for him,” the son explained. “What happened was that in January 2006 my dad had a stroke and lost the ability to speak. He really didn’t have that much comprehension, and he had to relearn to play the piano and a lot of different things. He was in no position to continue.
Interesting. Thank you
Q: Is your favorite band suing Trump?
A: Probably.
whens the compensation coming.
