Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Here's the original post by 3lau:

And apparently he didn't even get paid and covered his own travel costs:

Holy shit that's bad. Can't even try to claim the excuse of "a job is a job" and claiming there's no politics to it.

He ends that last reply with "no more spending taxpayer dollars, that era is over!" which is a pretty good indication that there very much is politics to it (so I agree with you, but also he isn't even trying to hide it, so I don't see him trying to defend himself by pretending he doesn't support their politics)

That was a good way to round out the original post, which just mentioned the “POTUS team” and pretended like it was acceptable human behavior.

He just couldn't contain his enthusiasm.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

but the exposure!

I’m sure all those right wing zealots will be lining up to give him lucrative gigs after this. After all, they’re known for their love of edm and the culture surrounding it. They certainly don’t despise everyone in attendance at the average gig (aside from the hot girls on molly they still despise but want to sexually assault)!

The era of being paid for work is over!!

Supposedly, none of the musicians who played at the inauguration were paid for it.

Really tells you about the caliber of these people. Both the artists and the administration.

Well, he was certainly paid with exposure

Remember the good old days when people died of exposure? Pepperidge Farms remembers, and wishes for those days to return.
