U2 singer Bono warned Tuesday that America is more than a country, it’s an idea, and a Donald Trump presidency could destroy that idea.

In an interview with “CBS This Morning,” Bono, whose real name is Paul David Hewson, argued that the Republican presidential nominee has already “hijacked” the GOP.

“I think he’s hijacked the party, and I think he’s trying to hijack the idea of America,” Bono said. “And I think it’s bigger than all of us. I think it’s — this is really dangerous.” …

Two threads down, a muzzie was carving on a young girl’s pudenda in Ireland.
Since Bozo is hanging with people who obsess over their vaginas, maybe he should take them home with him.

Looks like the WashingtonTimes has to reach down to the bottom of the barrel.

We do know the Hillary and Obango Machinery has given them “the call”...so they’re begging to be heard anywhere they can get a platform.....kinda like when they’re too old and worn out to get the good parts or the gigs they once did.

I have to admit, I love the Edge’s style of two separate delay/reverb effects played through separate amps..

In Dublin a few years back the tour guide took us past the 'garage' that was the home of U2 in pre Bono days.

The story he related was that Bono was just a guy in the neighborhood who heard that the band wanted a singer. He gave it a shot and obviously it worked.

So, in short, a guy who was a hack in the burbs of Dublin, is now one qualified to give advice to the leaders of the world?

My advice on your Dublin trip: Skip the U2 admiration part and at St. James Gate, head straight for the tower.

It was interesting when I first heard it (early ‘80s), but got old quickly. The band is a one-trick donkey, imo.

They’re so outdated....I suppose they’ve been playing at these Fund raisers for Hillary too...they’re so out of lockstep with the American people......that whole generation thinks Hillarys going to bring in their Nervana Utopia they’ve been waiting for.

What an idiot.....U2 singer Bono told Congress 'comedy' can help in fight against Islamic extremists!

The dweeb showed up at Congress plead for more money for 'refugees' last April...said comedy should be used to help 'defang' extremists..... he told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee..... "When you laugh at them when they are goose-stepping down the street, you take away their power,"

Hillary appeared on ‘Between Two Ferns’ trying to attract hipsters I guess.
Watching her on the show reminded me of/was as painful as watching my 80+ year old grandparents trying to watch the TV movie ‘Looking For Mr. Goodbar’. What the ....

Here’s Bono’s advice for Christian musicians.

“I find in Christian art a lot of dishonesty, and I think it’s a shame,” .......“I would love if people would write a song about their bad marriage. Write a song about how they’re pissed off at the government. Because that’s what God wants from you,” Bono said.

Ted may have had his wife Heidi break the news to Glenn. She brought him a gigantic sack of Cheetos with a handwritten Thank You note in their youngest daughter’s handwriting.
Coming from Mrs. Cruz, Glenn would be less likely to immediately burst into angry tears or (once again) threaten to jump out the window of his ground floor office into the flowerbeds. Ted just didn’t need the added melodrama right now.
