LOL… so Gene can speak his mind but others can’t?

Cool. Makes sense.

Here’s reality… EVERYONE can and should speak their mind and if hearing what a celebrity says bothers you so much to hear it, DONT LISTEN. No one is forcing you to click on that link or watch whatever video you are looking at of your own free will.

Well, he IS The Demon. But he is certainly incorrect here. As Cheese said EVERYONE can speak their mind if they so desire.

I DO agree in that I don’t care too much what actors or washed up musicians think for the most part.

I have never understood the appeal of celebrity endorsers, influencers, etc. No, I am not going to buy your product because some actor/musician/sports figure was paid to endorse it.

Neither do I give any more weight to the opinions of someone like that (unless they are actually an expert on the subject) than I would to a plumber, lawyer, bricklayer, etc.

Not what he said at all. He includes himself. His stance hasn't changed in years. In his own words, "Who TF should care about (his) opinion."

And yet he’s coming out and making a statement anyway. If he really thinks people should ****, shouldn’t he lead by example and not say anything in the first place?

So, question to the Contortionists out there. Can you point out where the job you do determines if you have freedom of speech? Just curious when we started making up an arbitratry rule that your job determines if you get a voice in this country.

Sounds like jealousy to me because some soap boxes are bigger than others.

P.S. When MAGA starts telling Kid Rock, James Woods, Chachi and Hercules to STHU come and talk to me.

P.S.S. If you need celebrities on either side of the isle to shut up because you are personally influenced by everything they say...maybe the problem, is you and not them. Isn't that how a certain cult formed to begin with?
