I can predict that and oh fucks sake stop using cold wars and nazi Germany (not you but another user) they are all different scenarios and again you refuse to answer my question why because then your answer would show my "opinion" is correct... 

I'm willing to bet it doesn't happen that's how confident I am

y'all letting irrational fear cause of the hatred for him take over if he was going to do it he'd done it by now 

Alright Mystic Meg.

Look:

Fact: BJ publicly posted his opinions, opening himself up to backlash. 

Fact: Billie received backlash. 

Fact: Billie got incrediblyangry, and as a result acted inappropriately

Fact: Billie knows people have different opinions 

Fact: it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for someone to post something like that. He knows it, everyone knows it, it's besides the point of nuclear threats and impeachment. 

Fact: Billie has a right to tell people to stay off his IG. If you don't like it, don't read it.

 

 

Of course I'll defend Billie, as long as I believe he did something worth defending. I'm not a sheep, and Billie doesn't want anyone to be a sheep to Trump's regime.

You are missing the point that any backlash Billie received over his opinions were not from the person he attacked for stating a simple fact which was that he (Billie) can not change people's opinions. You were the one who wrote that the fan stating that fact (that Billie can't change people's opinions) is insanity inducing so I don't know why you are now stating as though it's fact that he knows people have different opinions. You still seem to think it's ok that he told the fan to get to fuck off his IG for literally nothing. That is fucked up. I mean for you to justify his outburst with the logic that he can do it if he wants to and you should look away.

Ok then, let’s all go harass him on social media & never buy his music again. Would that make you happy? The thing I don’t get is that every time there is an issue like this you crucify Billie and say he’s probably relapsed. I don’t get why you’re a fan if you have such a negative opinion. I mean I literally thought to myself that we needed to take bets on when you would be on here talking about what a terrible thing this was that Billie did, and even when there’s some concensus that it was bad but very forgiveable and somewhat understandable, you can’t even accept that. It’s a weird pattern.

Alright.
Overacting on the good old internet is not a new invention, nor does it give the freedom to start 'speculating' whether or not Billie is drinking again on here.  Please STOP bringing it up.

😂  true but as much as I don’t like giving Trump credit but he’s good at business (I mean for someone who has over 500 businesses and only a handful has been failures he has a good success rate...) a good businessman never goes into something knowingly he’s going to lose more than what they gain (still fuck Trump tho) 

He hasn’t made his money by being a good businessman. Everything he has was handed to him and then he made his money by cheating, bullying, swindling and litigating people into the ground. A good businessman is ethical. He hires workers and refuses to pay them. He’s filed more bankruptcies and had more failed businesses than you would care to admit. It’s been estimated that if he took the money his daddy started him out with and just invested it wisely without running a business like he has he would actually be richer today. He’s not smart, he was simply handed every advantage and stole the rest.

LMAO more bankruptcies? ok you are an Id... no I won’t say it but you mean a man who owns over 550 businesses has only had 4 business go bankrupt and that means more? Also you clearly don’t even understand how bankruptcies work... please stop talking about business you’re clearly out of your field 

for failed businesses he still has more successful businesses than failed 🤷‍♂️

 

EDIT: also if he only invested he would only be worth $754 million today that’s almost 800 million currently he’s worth 3.4 billion sooooo tell me what’s higher 750 million or 3B?

Actually go and read my post again will you. I was incredibly specific in saying that I felt Billie was NOT a bad person for any of this and why I felt that. I'm not interacting with you further. You are just trying to start shit.

I don’t think people in our position can answer that because we aren’t competent to. But the sad think is that our president seems to be even less competent than the average person.

How do we know what he’s worth when he won’t even release his taxes?

Forbes has him being worth 3.4b

Trump says it’s 7b 

so im going by Forbes as I believe Forbes over Trump 

it could be even lower until taxes come out so all we got to go by is the estimates and Forbes has him at 3.4b and they’re usually reliable on their info

The same way numerous presidents in similar positions with different leaders in different countries had to deal with similar crisis in the past. Firstly ditch twitter. Address the leader directly standing on a podium, stern face and remind them that while tensions between the two nations are high, nobody wants to threaten war as America does not want to have to unleash the might of it's arsenal on any nation reminding the leader in question that the US always welcomes diplomacy etc.

The difference is Trump doesn't react like say Obama or any reasonable president before him. He retreats to taunts. It doesn't particularly matter in the end because say it or not N Korea knows it will cease to exist if it ever launches a weapon at the US and the US isn't going to launch a weapon and start WW3 to find itself blown to bits either. It is just bluster.

Look, literally everyone knows that people have different opinions. Literally everyone knows that Trump supporters opinions won't change. Which is why Billie wasn't pitching his impeachment spiel at Trump supporters. It doesn't make sense for someone to state the obvious to someone who is struggling to make a very good point made. Billie did post this publicly, so of course he got all sorts of responses. He could've said something more like this as his response:

"Hello, @whoever, I'm sorry to inform you that I am aware people disagree with this statement, and that DT has supporters. However, I'm trying to convince people still undecided in their opinions, as well as those who already dissaprove, to use  this hashtag and try and end DT's reign. If you do not like or agree with this, please do everyone a favor and simply don't read it."

It's fucking useless to say something like "everyone has opinions" to the guy. He isn't four. He knows. He also got angry, but at the same time, he had good points (in his original post, which is really what should be focused). You should never attack people who have different political beleifs. That was wrong of him. But people should know what to expect from him. I mean, AI. This isn't new. Also he's human. Of course he gets angry, and acts irrationally. I'm not saying it's okay, but I am saying it sorta makes sense. And really, would anyone like to be told the obvious after they tried to portray a way to help? He basically was undermined.  He also literally said this isn't about liberal or conservative agendas anymore, this is about humanity. People ignored this, and he flipped. I'm going to say again, it was inappropriate.  I'm also going to say again, it's insanity inducing. 

Also, like @Hermione was saying, it's insanity inducing because it is useless and has nothing to do with his political outcry, not because he can't change anyone's opinion.

Unless I've missed something I don't really see any backlash at the moment? The only two news outlets that have talked about it are NME (which is crap) and billboard - nobody big has taken any notice as far as I can tell.

I, at least, was referring to the commentors and their responses as backlash.

Ya stop repeating yourself. You think Trump cares. He may not be as dumb as he makes out to be but is certainly suffering from some sort of issue brain wise. Hes ridiculously unpredictable but sure you can predict what he does. Bet all those people never though the Cold War would ever happen but hey they were literally on the brink at one point. But this conversation is pointless as someone else said as no one not even you Mystic Meg can predict Trump

I don't understand the Cold War analogy, where there was no direct fighting between either side…

Ah ok so there's not really been any reaction to this, it's just debate over whether he was right or wrong. The answer to that is pretty clear: whilst what he said was rude and isn't the way to debate, he's well within his rights to and it won't effect him or the band in anyway.

Since I’m up and bored I’ll break down why the bankruptcy stuff you’re mentioning doesn’t mean anything they were chapter 11 filings which means basically chapter 11 is designed to restructure businesses without shutting them down completely and majority of financial advisors would recommend filing for chapter 11 than shutting the business down completely (in most cases) 3 of the 4 businesses were casinos which is a very risky businesses to own TONS of casinos go into chapter 11 or closed down period on top of it while Trump owned the businesses he actually  ran those businesses Trump is listed as the bankruptcies as he was the actual owner 

Warren Buffett one of the worlds richest man has filed for bankruptcy multiple times (even more than Trump...) so has Bill Gates etc Truth of the matter most millionaire and billionaire businessmen and women have all filed chap 11 bankruptcies at some point of time it’s jist the way business goes every company every business has its ups and downs 

in the top 10 list ranking for the richest person in the US there is not ONE single person who hasn’t filed chapter 11 at least once

North Korea making threats is like a dog licking its balls, that's what it does. What I know is that despite all the posturing, North Korea would never strike first. They understand they cannot win a war and that any serious action against the US or South Korea will result in devastating retaliation.

You aren't exactly wrong that it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for a US President because unfortunately a large portion of the American population has a throbbing war boner. See how Obama was somehow characterized by Republicans as a being a weak foreign policy President despite the fact that he was waging 7 wars. Yes, one is always criticized as President no matter what choices they make, but a President going on belligerent, adolescent twitter rants likening nuclear war to his dick is a new low.
