Baby We Were Born This Dumb

While in Manchester England, Bruce Springsteen went on a bender insulting America and Donald Trump. He called Trump "incompetent" and "treasonous."

NEW: Bruce Springsteen rants about Trump's deportations during a concert. pic.twitter.com/xdfCydjnl0 — Resist the Mainstream (@ResisttheMS) May 17, 2025

He had some choice things to say, some of which were pure nonsense:

- “Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring!”
- “In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society.”
- “In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. They’re removing residents off American streets and, without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is happening now.”
- “A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government. They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American.”
He did this in England, where you can be arrested for a social media post that “offends” someone. In England you can be arrested for praying silently in an across the street protest. He went to a more authoritarian country to complain about authoritarianism.

No American has been deported by the Trump administration.

No civil rights legislation has been revoked.

No one’s free speech has been abridged. Speech remains free but not free from consequences.

I have despised Springsteen for some time. He is the classic bleeding-heart liberal. He sings songs about the poor and being oppressed but his net worth is around $700 million and doesn’t spread it around. He also takes tax advantages as a wealthy farm owner in New Jersey.

It is unseemly to go overseas and malign your country because you don’t like the party in charge. Kid Rock called him out for that:

“To be in Europe talking junk about our President who gets up and works his ass off everyday for our country……to do that in Europe, what a punk move. I mean this guy’s got what $500 million - billion dollars and he’s out there playing like he’s a working class hero and really to me he just wants to be in good standing with the Hollywood Elite…”
So did Ted Nugent:

Democrats are so invested in hating President Trump, they will do and say anything pic.twitter.com/0goesl1qCq — GABRIEL (@TheGabriel72) May 18, 2025

He tends to meddle, often ending in irony:

None of his “performances” in recent years have been more than rants and then moaning his way thru a song.
He is a DBag. Ditto for anyone giving him money for this sort of crappola.

Actually, that was true during the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

i.e. just more projecting by the left.

Not surprising he did that overseas. If he does that at a concert here in the US—half the crowd will boo him off stage.

I’m in the age group he played to back in the day. I was never a fan. It wasn’t his politics. I just didn’t care for his music. But art is subjective.

I was a Springsteen fan until The River album. Before that his concerts were pure high energy fun. After that he would spend long interludes strumming his guitar and lecturing the audience.

“Man boobs and all.”

I saw that pic and my first thought was “Man, that’s an UGLY woman.”

Then my second thought was “Man, that’s a REAL UGLY tranny.”

LOL...wrong on both counts. Well, I got the UGLY part right. Both inside and out.

Is that photo Springsteen showing off his new breast implants? Has he come out as transgender? Or is he just another flabby old white limousine liberal?

Springsteen's picture looks like Biden after he tries to dress himself.

He is a pos and I have despised him since the day I first heard his “music” back in 1975 with that lame Born to Run crap.
