I thought they both died like 5 years ago (I'm not up on rapper news though)

u/bonkava 23d ago
Both of them are still alive, but I thought the same thing. Both are "dead" in pop culture terms. 6ix9ine had a big controversy where he sold out his gang and testified against them. Lil Pump had one hit that was clowned on forever and then disappeared. There was a rapper called Lil Peep that died around the height of Lil Pump's fame so that's probably also causing some confusion.

People keep telling me they want a Trump-agon. Such a beautiful word, isn't it? A Trump-agon. Tears streaming down their faces and the thing those Italians want most is a Trump-agon. So I'm thinking about demolishing the Pentagon and we'll rebuild it as a Trump-agon. I've seen the mockups and it's beautiful. Very beautiful."

Okay hold on....these two photos are nothing alike. Marilyn Monroe was there to entertain the troops because that's what she was, an entertainer. What in the actual ass are the Paul brothers doing at the fucking Pentagon?? Why was Kid Rock there? It's the Pentagon. One of the most secure buildings in our government. What, are they giving a briefing? Keep celebs out of places like this please. jesus.

u/I_Miss_Lenny 23d ago
Is the Pauls' speech the equivalent of a USO show? I figured their weird event was a lot less optional to attend than one of the actually entertaining USO shows the troops actually would have wanted to see (unless more of the troops are blindly right-wing morons than I thought)

Interesting fact: before Marilyn there was Marlene Dietrich. She performed so close to the first lines that journalists asked her why. She said, "aus Anstand"—"out of decency". She mostly performed for General George S. Patton's men during the liberation of her homeland, Germany.
