Losing one artist isn't the implication....it's losing all your independent venues because they won't financially survive being blacklisted by every artist that hopes to tour anywhere else because LN is a monopoly...
So goodbye independent venues and hello to exponentially higher prices, because that's what monopolies do...
Just duct tape some EREC (explosive reactive egg cartons) on that bitch and you'll be good to go.
No, it won't.
You're clearly uninformed on the power of Operator Prayer, or Tactical Theology, and the role it plays on the modern battlefield.
With sufficient levels of belief, that bullet can achieve anything. Just remember, if you believe, your bullet can achieve.
Correct, they rigged it: past tense.
I don't mean by literally stuffing ballots, but via mostly boring administrative and bureaucratic maneuvering. Although, some state Democratic parties did actually cancel their Presidential primaries entirely, which frankly should be illegal.
Nothing I'm saying is breaking news. This was covered at the time, and has seen a small resurgence in coverage since the debate.
I think The Lever actually just republished the reporting they ran at the time.
Trump isn't some mythical Boogeyman who only Biden can beat. That's not my gut feeling, that's what the recent electoral results and polling data shows us.
But putting that aside, that doesn't mean the DNC should be rigging primaries because they think they know best. That's how Trump won in 2016, and why we just witnessed Biden sun downing on a debate stage.
That's what primaries are for.
Unfortunately, Biden and the DNC didn't feel that aspect of party democracy was convenient for them this year, so...well, here we are.
Intentionally misleading headline, but not technically incorrect.
These are designed to carry troops through an irradiated battle space and keep them safe from the fallout. At least while they're inside and the filtration systems are functioning properly.
That doesn't mean they were magically enhanced to be impervious to antimaterial weapons, or other types of kinetic damage that happen in combat.
You should really read up on how they operate.
Here's just one hypothetical based off available reporting, court cases, and leaked documents:
Artist A has a history of performing at independent Portland venues but also tours the country and therefore has to use LN venues and TM services.
When LN opens their Portland location, Artist A will have to either start using the LN venue, or find that the rest of their tour has suddenly run into financial issues with LN pricing and rebate schemes.
So Artist A switches to Portland LN venue, and magically those issues start to go away.
And that's just the artist side, LN pulls variations of this monopoly abuse with local venues who refuse to Ticket Master, or sign with LN.
I'm not even doing their criminal behavior justice and the real examples are significantly worse then what I quickly typed out. This will only harm artists, local venues, and Portland, if allowed.
Just because something is legally defined, doesn't mean the law will be equally applied and it's not a conspiracy theory to point out the German government's long history of unequal application of draconian laws that are used to target specific demographic groups.
The groups they choose to target may change as time moves on, but the tactic remains.
He's unironically a cuck. After all of Trump's personal attacks and humiliation, Ron went full TED CRUZZZZZZ and immediately got on his knees and started slobbing on Trump's golden knob.
What a big dumb baby.
He failed to legitimize the government that has been ruling the country since 1979....?
Presumably this website feels the Pahlavi dynasty, which was installed and backed by foreign powers and also lasted about 50 years, was the last legitimate government.
You don't have to support theocracy to recognize the absurdity of claiming that a government that's been in charge for 50 years, and is recognized around the world, is somehow illegitimate.
