I love how they're putting politics aside by performing at an inauguration.  😀 

How do you know they are putting politics aside? Just because they look silly does not mean they are leftists.

They're old now.

They're on record as not being Trump fans.

But disco era Trump is a fan of theirs.

So obviously doing this brings them a lot of money and also greatly enhances their historical legacy.

Most humans couldn't resist such easily gained benefits.

YMCA is a gay anthrm but it's a relic.

The  Trump maga fascist movement represents going backwards in LGBT civil rights.

They hope to reverse marriage equality just as they killed federal abortion rights.

It's already started in Idaho.

No doubt it will be revisited by the far right supreme court.

A key part of their campaign was about scapegoating trans people.

So can't approve of them playing this event but understand why they couldn't resist

It's getting better by the minute with this guy !

US decadence gaining momentum fast 😄

<deleted> it's just too retarded to not be priceless...

I hope someone gets a drag act into the lineup, see how these conservatives handle it.  A Marilyn Monroe impersonator would steal the show.

Trump showing what a great sense of humour he has again. What a legend. I hope he does his groovy dance.

 

Biden would have probably tried to book Kris Kristofferson. 

 

Well. it certainly looks kike he didn't book Starmer.

Surely there's a lefty that can lie their way in and them try to ruin the inauguration by yelling and shaking their penis at Trump on TV or some-such. 

 

What a hero they would be to the left!

The Village People, known for their iconic disco hits "YMCA" and "Macho Man," are set to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration festivities.

We can assume many of the festive village people members on this forum aren’t too happy about this

Posts using derogatory and toxic nicknames or intentional misspelling of people’s names will be removed. If you don’t want your post to be removed, spell people’s names correctly, this applies to both sides of the political debate. 

[lanng khao]

Had my first <deleted> to YMCA.i can still taste it now...

[spidermike007]

I just hope and pray that Trump doesn't decide to dance, we still remember that sorry spectacle from his visit to Saudi Arabia.

 

Keep Trump off the dance floor please!

[Screaming]

I believe Trump is loved by everyone, even the Village People. I cannot wait until January 20, should be a great day and a greater day for the citizens of the United States.

[Keep Right]

[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man (Macho man)
I've got to be a macho man
I've got to be a macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! Ow!
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho man
Macho, macho man (Yeah, yeah)
I've got to be a macho!

 

Trump is the Macho man and that is why he will be the next President of the United States.

[Purdey]

So, only oldie bands desperate for money will attend the inauguration. No popular modern bands available?

Nah.

He's a weak man's idea of a strong man.

[frank83628]

Some just spit the dummy(pacifier) at the mere mention of El' Trumpos name. Haha, how sad.

How can this be a bad thing, he is technically employing everyone from firemen to native Indians, even doing his bit for the lgbt brigade & senior citizens all in 1 go

Using this during the campaign was pure genius.

Not paying royalties for songs the Trump campaign uses is pure greed. 

Hope YMCA got paid in advanced.

   Of course not, any popular band who played for Trump would lose lot of their audience through boycotts .

  Even just stated that support Trump would lead them receiving abuse and boycotts .

   You know how the Left beave when anyone disagrees with them .

Any band who stated that they support Trump would be labelled as being far right Neo Nazis who support fascist dictators .

   So, bands don't want to be seen supporting Trump 

[GammaGlobulin]

 

I don't care what music they play...

As long at it is JS Bach's Concertos, 

All night long.

You could call them 'Village Person' as Victor Willis, the lead singer, is the only original 'Village People' member left

Maybe not, but $10 is $10!

".........Despite not supporting Trump in the election, the band decided to put politics aside for the occasion."

 

Obviously they're putting politics aside if they're happy to perform for someone they opposed to be President. They also open themselves up to accusations of hypocrisy and greed which they don't appear to deny.

I'm assuming Trump royalties or not that all the publicity is meaning lots of money for them.

I hope so.

Otherwise they're selling their souls for nothing.

How are they being hypocrites if they are did/do not support Trump, but they perform at the inauguration? 

 

If a band that did not support gay marriage played at a gay marriage, would they be hypocrites? 

 

If a person that opposes tax-cuts takes the cut when it is implemented, does that make him hypocrite? 

 

Are the government employees that work the event also hypocrites? 

 

In any event, unless they are very outspoken, we have no way of knowing who anyone votes for. Do you really believe that 95% of the people in entertainment think Harris-Walz was a better choice?

Or it could be that they love to perform and are honored to be invited. 

 

I'm not a fan of Biden or Obama, but I would be honored to do most anything they asked of me.

Whose past statements about what?

 

Do you think it unethical to perform at a Presidential inauguration? 

 

Your deliberately twisting my comment.
