  1. U2 always stood for the oppressed and the voiceless and rallied against the corruption in politics that was a big part of their appeal until Bono started becoming mates with these narcissistic tyrannical monsters like Bush ,Blair ,Clinton and Biden who he now considers his friends .

    Doesn’t he say something along the lines of “keep your enemies closer” in his book?

    (Admittedly, I haven’t finished it so there could me more (less) to come.)

    Bono has said "America is not a country. America is the greatest idea the world has ever had but it does not yet exist. Some people look back and think America has had its hey day. But the idea of America is still being created, still being shaped, still being developed . . . . . it’s a work in progress."

    The greatest threat to that idea is not Clinton or Biden. The greatest threat to that idea is the radical right-wing agenda pushed by an angry, brainwashed cult that worships a disgraceful, emotionally immature, intellectually inferior, incompetent, irascible, lying, morally bankrupt, self-absorbed, tax-cheat, vote-scamming traitor who has nothing but contempt and disdain for American values. Because of him . . . . . never before have Americans been more inspired to question the integrity, competence and patriotism of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation, United States military, United States intelligence agencies, medical doctors, infectious disease specialists, judges and county and state election officials. He gave permission to Americans to openly express racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, violent extremist and anti-American beliefs. He was the single most unifying force in United States politics because . . . . . never before have progressives and conservatives found so many compelling reasons to stand together and defend the U.S.A. from someone so poisonous. It’s going to be a long time until his stain is washed from the U.S.A.

    We are allowed to question because it’s our American right to and don’t forget that. Don’t assume me saying that means what you think. But that cult is a very small percentage and just like most screaming idiots, or groups that yell the loudest, doesn’t make them a majority.
    It’s going to be long time for us to recover from the last two we’ve had but we will.

    Regardless of your views on your last President the point still stands Bono is buddies with Bush and Blair who committed mass murder in Iraq and across the Middle East killing millions of innocent people it's annoying seeing him turning up at these political back scratching events schmoozing with these tyrannical monsters and telling them how great they are.
  8. Left wing, right wing… same fucking bird. They’re all a bunch of self serving pricks who don’t care about any of us anymore than they give a fuck about starving people in Africa. If Bono is able to help people out by kissing the ass of corrupt politicians, then fair play to him. Bush, Blair, Trump, Obama, Biden, and let’s not forget his bestie Bill Clinton… they’re all just figureheads anyway, put there by the people who paid to have them there.

    Just because Clinton and Biden are the faces of your chosen political alignment doesn’t make them good people either.

    I think we can all agree Trump was a special brand of terrible, in a league of his own. But make no mistake, “your guys” didn’t get where they are by being the good guys either.

    Not a Republican or Democrat*

    I highly doubt he is "buddies" with most of them. He is on record several times saying he didn't agree with many things they did but that he merely used his clout to work with the leaders of the day to achieve his debt relief and aids work aims. He didnt decide who was in office at the time.

    Not buying that he's good mates with Blair and Bush and the Clinton's and has visited their homes and vice versa in a personal capacity, why didn't he meet Trump did it not suit his agenda I thought he was only meeting them for his debt relief campaign surely the Donald and him could have shared some tax avoidance and hair dye antidotes.

    He didn’t like who Trump was and what stood for, why would he meet with him.
