Here come the crazy celebs, thinking we actually give a damn what they have to say. They are so far removed from the real world, they are the last people we should be giving any attention.

I always liked The Voice, but since he's become a judge, it's hard to sit and watch anymore. I had a hard time with Blake's new girlfriend too. She was shown attending a spirit cooking party. Blake has to know this, so that makes him compliant.
Is there no one in Hollyweird that isn't involved in evil?

Anyway, back on topic...

Quote:Pop superstar and The Voice host John Legend accused President Donald Trump of “waging war” on America’s neighborhoods after the president announced plans to increase the presence of police in crime-ridden cities across the country.

On Wednesday, President Trump ordered the Department of Justice to “surge” the number of federal law enforcement officers in Chicago, a city that has seen, as of July 19th, 414 murders, a staggering 50 percent rise in the number of killings at this same time in 2019. Trump’s announcement was his first official remarks about Operation Legend, which was set up in response to the tragic death of four-year-old LeGend Taliferro, who was killed by a stray bullet while sleeping in his apartment in Kansas City. LeGend’s mother, Charron Powell, is a vocal supporter of the crackdown who recently attended a White House event with her family to promote the task force.

Yes, John, if the mayors and other officials won't take care of Federal Property and the town's citizens, then it's time for our POTUS to step in.    

Quote:"Operation Legend is not to harass, it’s not to harm or to hurt. It is to help investigate unsolved murders, in which one of those happens to be our innocent four-year-old son,” she said at the meeting. “This operation is personal to us. We want justice for our son and others.”

Yet John Legend, whose name bears no relation to the task force, went on to describe the increase in law enforcement as “fucking stupid” and a waging of “war on America’s neighborhoods.”

“This is fucking stupid,” the Grammy-winner said. “Usually the Wag the Dog scenario is to go to other countries to start a war when your polls are in the tank. Nope. Trump just wants to wage war on America’s neighborhoods.”

“373 homicides in Chicago in 2020 as of early July. Over 4,000 COVID 19 deaths,” John Legend added. “All of these deaths matter, and every life is precious. But it’s clear Trump has no interest in healing people / saving lives. Just in waging war to look tough for reelection.”

Does he really believe that?  These people are sick in the head!

Quote:John Legend, who is a long-time left-wing activist, also railed against what he called over-policing. Last month, The “All of Me” singer argued that there should be “significantly fewer police” in the United States.

“I know this word ‘defund’ has caused some controversy, even from some who are inclined to agree with a lot of the underlying arguments,” John Legend wrote at the time. “Police funding takes up a huge portion of our local budgets. Budgets are moral documents which spell out in black and white what our priorities are. We have finite amounts of money to spend and right now we spend far too much on policing.”

Too much on policing?  Easy for you to say, as you walk around with your paid security!   You and all those other stuck up snobs in Hollyweird can kiss this!  

I don't know who John Legend is and I've never seen The Voice. 

But I can say that just because you're famous doesn't mean you even graduated high school. Ricky Gervais was right in trying to shut these people up when it comes to politics.

Welp, that's one more shitstain added to my list of "people's opinions I could not possibly care less about."


John Legend is so righteous and has all the answers apparently, but I'm sure he's in no rush to move into these areas.  He didn't even offer an alternative solution did he?  Typical celebrity know-it-all, disconnected from reality.

This scumbag  Oh, yes he knows everything.

De Niro found performing as a way to relieve his shyness, and became fascinated by cinema, so he dropped out of high school at 16 to pursue acting.

I'll thank him for a job well done. Now, stick to your job. Nobody cares about your politics.

Yup, sort of like Bono.  Incredible voice, but yeah, couldn't care less about his "views."  The only reason I know about him is because of the radio, not for any world-changing accomplishments of his...
