    When damn near everyone in this country fell for Cheny’s lies, three young up and coming country singers stood by what is right and their own personal morals.

    Ummm, time to feel old however the Dixie Chicks were around since 1989. The Dixie Chicks were active as a band for 17 years before Republicans got upset at the Dixies Chicks for speaking out against the Iraq war.

      Damn, that’s crazy…

      I googled it and they were born in 69, 72, and 74.

      So they started the band when the youngest was 15, and still going.

      Edit:

      Or the youngest two are sisters and the other isn’t original?

      I’m not trying to deep dive research them lol

        I totally feel you. It feels like yesterday it was 2000 and then turn of a new century and that was 24 years ago.

            Imagine you were 30 years older and president…

            Time moving faster as we age is totally normal and due to a couple different things, but I’m sure to Biden it feels like 4 weeks have gone by and not four years.

            It’s a big reason why progress is slow and backslides are monumental, both parties are run by 60+ year olds. The ones that say they want progress are terrified how fast it moves and want it to slow down, the ones that want the “good ole days” feel like it’s obvious progress is happening too fast and we need to go backwards.

          They just had Steph Curry and then some dude quoted Kendrick…

          Kendrick probably would have shown up just to sing the song about Drake being a pedophile.

          But the energy of “Not Like Us” is exactly what we need and just seems made for this election.

          Also for calling Drake a pedophile, but music can be two things.

            "Beyoncé is in Chicago, and getting ready to pop out for Kamala Harris on the final night of the Democratic National Convention,” TMZ reports.

            “Multiple sources in the know tell us Queen Bey will be the big surprise performer as VP Harris officially accepts the Democratic party’s nomination to run for president"
