Bruce Springsteen: Trump Encouraged ‘Un-American’ Behavior
The Daily Beast ^ | January 2, 2017

Posted on 01/02/2017 6:57:31 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

During a new interview with comedian Marc Maron on the WTF podcast, Bruce Springsteen questioned President-elect Donald Trump’s basic “competency” three weeks before he’s set to take the oath of office. “I’ve felt disgust before, but never the kind of fear that you feel now,” Springsteen said. “It’s as simple as the fear of, is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job? Do they simply have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility?” The rocker, who campaigned for Hillary Clinton, went on to express his concerns that Trump’s campaign unleashed “bigotry, racism, intolerance” that will be difficult to quell now that he will be in the White House. “Whether it’s a rise in hate crimes, people feeling they have license to speak and behave in ways that previously were considered un-American and are un-American,” Springsteen added. “That’s what he’s appealing to. My fears are that those things find a place in ordinary civil society.”

Hmmm, you must have had a reason for that.
Same source told me they both treat the “little people” like shi’ite.

Wikipedia says this turd is 5'10". Having passed him, literally shoulder to shoulder late one night on a sidewalk in Red Bank NJ, several years ago, I'd put him at 5'8", tops (I'm 6'0", and he was comically small to me).

He is a small man, in every way except his bank account.

I detest her because of my “biker code”.

You DO NOT touch another woman’s man, for any reason.

Ever.

She knew he was married.

He was dog for trying but she was a whore for letting him.

Simple as that.

He’s 5’8”.

Always has been, and has probably shrunk due to old age, as all people do.

[weirdly, I’ve gotten taller, go figure]

Oh yeah, like the one that encouraged a man to leave his wife and kids because he has a ‘hungry heart’? Yeah that was a real manly song. /sarc

That was him? Didn't sound like him but I looked it up and you are right.

Walking in Memphis? More like writing a song to make a buck off of Elvis fans, imo.

Now that I knew he didn't sing. Marc Cohn wrote and sung it. Don't ask me what else he wrote and sang because I have no idea.

Are we talking about his wife now or the woman he had an affair with?

His wife now, with whom he cheated on the wife, then.

Turns out he’s a prime example of the old adage; ‘when you marry a man who cheats on his wife, that’s exactly what you get.’

Pardon me if I don’t shed tears for Patti.

I didn’t know he was divorced and remarried. Sorry, I couldn’t read the whole article you linked. The author’s slobbering treacle was more than I could stomach.

Given the time frame, the horse abuser must have been wifey #1.

Julianne Phillips was his first, brief marriage.

No horses involved.

Patti Scialfa, his backup singer/slut was the second wife.

Her daughter is the one who aspires to Olympic equestrian heights, and failing to achieve that on her own, Bruce bought her a top-winning, gold medal Olympic horse, upon which she basically just has to cling, in order to ride better than she really does.

Any horse stuff came with wifey #2.
