She still looks 13 to me.
Sue them. Not for money, but for the release of the unredacted Epstein files.
Sue them for EVERYTHING.
At this point, I have to think that they are just trolling.
“Look at these snowflakes getting offended over a silly video. We only care about important things, like the War On Christmas!”
That’s the entire basis of the MAGA movement, and all fascist movements.
Literally all of their political “beliefs” are simply the same emotional and stupid thoughts they’ve had since they were school yard bullies. It’s all about blaming everyone else for your problems, and killing them for it.
Its the political version of an abusive, 70 IQ point dad beating his wife and kids because he’s insecure about his tiny dick, which unironically fits Trump literally.
they use it as a sort of dog whistle. They use music KNOWING the artist won’t support it, then further lure in fans of said artists who were leaning right to be full right. “Oh I love Ariana Grande’s music, they’re using her song in this video? awesome! what? she doesn’t support this? screw her I hate Ariana Grande.”
It says it in the article.
Honestly though, that’s excellent grounds for a lawsuit
It’s basis for 2, damages from copyright infringement, and damages for defamation.
Unless OFC the person you’re trying to sue owns the DOJ. Then everything is moot.
That would require action and not just grandstanding…
Who is grandstanding? The trump admin has like 300 active lawsuits against them.
Are we done with “slammed” then, or…?
I hear they’re workshopping “hammered” next.
When asked by Variety for comment about its use of music by Taylor Swift in a November 2025 video, the White House replied: “We made this video because we knew fake news media brands like Variety would breathlessly amplify them. Congrats, you got played.”
Jesus christ. This is lame even for high school level
Everyone in this administration stopped maturing by the time they reached seventh grade.
These people are the ones who peaked in Middle School. Normally they settle into jobs where they make everyone around them miserable, but these dipshits hit the societal lottery, and accidentally got tossed on top of the heap of stupid.
There is a sizeable amount of the electorate below highschool level.
I die a little inside every time I see this kind of 4chan level shit posting from the highest levels of our government.
Seriously. We could randomly elect a 4chaner as president and it wouldn’t get worse than that.
A bunch of these artists should get together and do a “We Are the World” style video performing a parody cover of Nugent’s Jailbait written to refer explicitly to all the accusations and charges against Trump. Well, as long as Nugent doesn’t get any money from it. Do artists get paid when another artist does a cover or parody?
Cover yes parody no. Weird Al famously asks for permission to parody songs but he doesn’t have to.
A parody is usually the same melody, but different lyrics. If I wrote the melody and lyrics, and you change just the lyrics, I would still get partial songwriting credit for that melody, and partial songwriting royalties.
Weird Al would still get full royalties for the performance part, but he would split the songwriting royalties with the original composer.
That’s why artists don’t mind Weird Al using their songs, because they make money. They like the validation, too, but they aren’t giving away their royalties to him so willingly for validation alone.
As long as the parody is transformative, and it has to be a critique of the thing it is parodying. Transformative simply means people won’t reasonably mistake it for the genuine thing.
The second part is where most people run afoul of parody laws though. For instance, you can’t make a parody of Family Guy using the established characters, and use it to make fun of a random politician who has no ties to the TV show. That may be transformative, but it wouldn’t be critiquing Family Guy or anyone connected to the show. It would just be using Family Guy’s characters to make fun of a third party.
That being said, the fact that Ted is now a political activist means you could likely argue that the door was wide open to parody the song and use it to attack conservative politicians that Ted has ties to. Just be sure you do something to attack Ted directly, to be sure you have fulfilled that second part.
Ted would undoubtedly still sue, by trying to claim that it was damaging his market value as a musician. Essentially, the parody has to exist peacefully alongside the original, instead of draining potential revenue. Ted would say that people were listening to the parody instead of his songs, which is lowering his income and harming him financially. If the parody harms the original IP owner financially, it isn’t considered fair use because it is market infringement.
Given, the counter to that would essentially be that the parody’s popularity is driving traffic to Ted’s songs instead of away from them. But that’s something that would need to be proven in court.
Prepare for a forthcoming escalated stern rebuke.
Chuck Schumer’s glasses are going to be both as far up and as far down his nose as they can be.
Gonna take a while to get up and down then.
How the f are they ever going to recover from so much rebuking
They’ll cry it out and fuck a few underage kids and get right back to work in the morning, or at least that’s what the memo will tell them to ‘buck-up-and’ do.
Good for her. I still remember the time she licked those donuts and put them back on the shelf though. We should remind her, it’s not good to let celebrities think too highly of themselves. They’re still humans after all.
Not defending her actions there, but how long is are we supposed to judge her for that? It was like 10 years ago and she was barely an adult. It was dumb as fuck but I think any reasonable person could assume she grew up a bit since then.
Do they charge extra for the donuts Ariana licked or are they the same price? Asking for a friend…

Ariana Grande is probably going to use this opportunity to get with Trump and break up his marriage.
How much moral highground can the girl who did blackface for a decade really have anyway
What now?
There is no reason this should be ok.
She looks relatively normal in three of those photos, and the fourth looks obviously doctored.
Are you stupid?
It was my understanding that she is of Italian decent. One of those pictures is kind of dark, but my own mother, a black haired Norwegian, gets quite tanned in the summer. But guess none of these stars ever see natural sun as it ages the skin…
She has applied that herself as an deliberate look.
Remember when she licked food that was for sale?
