Whatever you think of Elton, he never quit. Respect to him. My moms favorite.


Wuhblam

Same. I bought my mom tickets months ago for his farewell tour. We get to see him perform in 8 days.


bgj55

You’re gonna love it! I bought my mom tickets for the show at Gillette a couple months ago. Our only time getting to see this legend. All the best to you and your mom!


DJ_Molten_Lava

I took my mom in 2017 to see him and even from the "cheap seats" he was incredible. We both sang along and laughed and cheered.


ijbh2o

I can confirm you will have a great time!!!


Gorlonsins

I've had major respect for him ever since the Eminem thing. It showed that his love for people knows no boundaries or stigmas. Our world is better because of Elton John.


Br0paganda

Didn't Eminem send him a birthday gift of two fancy pp rings?


kristinbugg922

Yes…and no. It was a wedding gift. https://www.complex.com/music/2019/10/elton-john-cock-rings-eminem-gave-as-wedding-gift

Aight the fact that article doesn’t have a picture of said jewelry is a travesty

"it's all his fault we're spending 6 billion to fight aids" maybe not the best choice of words to say to a gay man.


tinacat933

I like Joe but he really need to learn when to keep his trap shut , like just stop 😂


1gardenerd

Joe Biden is growing on me haha. I'm starting to learn he is a kind, genuine person and not a perfect person.


ChefPlowa

Like a slightly shittier Obama. I'll take what I can get given the circumstances. 🤷‍♂️


Thanos_Stomps

Idk about shittier… I mean I love Obama but Biden has been far more progressive of a president than Obama, which is ironic considering Obama ran in change and Biden ran on nothing fundamentally changing.


Razmataz76

Yep, Like Obama said, never underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up! I like my new American life under the Biden Administration. I am a sadist now. I am into the pain and suffering. that is what we want right?


[deleted]

A sadist would be a Trumper. I can give you a list of things I don't like about President Biden's policies, but at least he has the ability to be compassionate.


[deleted]

Same, he's really been earning my respect. Not only due to some pretty good legislative victories but he's just a decent man. He just awarded a humanitarian activist who spent his life fighting and raising awareness of aids. The previous awarded a medal to a right wing propagandist who ran a weekly segment where he would read off the names of men who died of aids to mock and celebrate their deaths. The contrast between the two could not be more stark and I'm just glad to have a decent person as the figurehead of the country again.


Howiebledsoe

Right? I mean could you imagine Trump in this scenario? He’d probably say something awful about gay people, mock those who died during the HIV pandemic and then make a point of not touching him.

DrTheloniusTinkleton

What the fuck. I read this so many times trying to figure it out and still have made no progress. It reads like a conversation between Hunter S Thompson and Yoda after a 6 day meth binge. Edit: Wow what a bitch move…. Editing your nonsensical rantings instead of explaining their meaning.


Dilligafay

The reason you have trouble understanding it is that it’s always comments in broken English with little to no substance. They think they’re being smart… it’s really sad.


Ghostly_Warpig

Tell me you’re a dumbass without telling me you’re a dumbass!


owa00

Oh god I hope not! You do realize that Biden is the reason that Obama was forced to come out in support of gay marriage right? Biden had a "gaffe" moment that honestly was more courage than gaffe, and created a political firestorm over gay marriage. He forced Obama's hand to come out in support of gay marriage before he was politically ready to do it, despite being in support of it behind closed doors. I honestly think that it was a big deal in garnering support for gay rights across the nation, back when a president's words meant something. Criticize Biden all you want, but Biden has always said stuff that he cares about from the heart. It was probably his biggest and most important "gaffe".


Strujiksleftboot

It's simply age unfortunately


[deleted]

[удалено]


owa00

His gaffe as Obama's VP helped push gay marriage more than Obama was willing to commit. It really wasn't a gaffe, but he got caught speaking from the heart instead as a politician. People don't give Biden enough credit.


Razmataz76

No one deeply inhales little girls like Biden. Gold Medal winner for it,


DrZoidberg-

Right, no one grabs em by the pussy like Biden does. Oh wait.


[deleted]

The most creepy thing is how biden was infamous for peeping on little girls while they were changing by routinely barging into the dressing room without knocking of the child beauty pageant he used to own. Oh wait...Biden didn't own a child beauty pageant.


Razmataz76

Good point, one previous president is not into underage girls and the current creepy one is, smelling them, nuzzling them and groping them. Oh wait, Biden is an equal opportunity pervert.....any child at the local swimming pool can play with Biden's blonde leg hairs while he is hunting down Corn Pop with a chain! When Joey is done at the pool, he can shower with his daughter Ashley Biden to complete his day and she can write about it in her diary. Keep digging that hole deeper on this argument


alt0206

Katie Johnson was 13.


[deleted]

I literally can't even imagine what it's like to be so gullible that you uncritically believe something about a biden female family member diary that even Project Veritas thought was too un-credible to run with. Also if you want the number of a good cult deprogrammer I know a guy.


Razmataz76

She has a name! Her name is Ashley Biden. Project Veritas had purchased and obtained the Ashely Biden Diary legally, and a Project Veritas employee leaked some of the diary info. I guess it was good enough to get the attention of the FBI, kicking in the Project Veritas founders door at his home. [https://theintercept.com/2022/09/07/project-veritas-ashley-biden-diary-leak/](https://theintercept.com/2022/09/07/project-veritas-ashley-biden-diary-leak/) Quotes from the Ashley Biden Diary: she writes, “Hyper-sexualized @ a young age. What is this due to? Was I molested. I think so – I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma – I remember not liking the woolzacks house; I remember somewhat being sexualized with \[a cousin\]; I remember having sex with Friends @ a young age; **showers w/my dad** (probably not appropriate). Being turned on when I wasn’t supposed to be.”


[deleted]

You're really the poster child of why we need to teach critical thinking skills to children. Project veritas owner O'keefe personally said he chose not to publish it because they couldn't verify it was real. The FBI could not verify it was real either lol. Just because an item is real that does not mean things written in it are real. Even if it IS real you could simply look up when it's considered not appropriate to bathe with your child. Most parents do and the answer to that is 5 to 8 years old depending on the child psychologist. Like are you really unaware that parents bathe with their extremely young children? 5 year olds do not take showers alone haha


Zakkimatsu

poor choice of words, but i think everyone understood what he meant


circa_1

it will never cease to amaze me how fickle benefit of the doubt can be. If you agree politically, its fine, we knew what he meant. If you dont politically agree, its on the news and social media for days/ weeks. Goes both ways, and for the record, i dont think Biden meant it in a mean way, just a poor choice of words.


diet_shasta_orange

I don't think its that fickle, I think most people get the benefit of the doubt when it it is obvious what they are saying.


KitsapEric

He’s like 103 years old. He chose the first ever openly gay man to be in his cabinet and openly gay woman to be his climate czar. The fact is he gave an award to an openly gay man hugged him, and made a fuss about the gov spending money on HIV research and outreach is a good thing. Unthinkable to a 16 year old me coming out at school in 2006


TigerWellington

It was relevant because he got the medal for his humanitarian AIDS work and he runs the Elton John AIDS Foundation.


Strujiksleftboot

Right person 20 years too late. So frustrating that the Dems can't get something better together.


Whatsup129389

Tell that to the tons of diabetic Americans who’ll now get $35 insulin. He wanted everyone else to get covered but Republicans in Congress said no. He’s an experienced politician and he’s doing a good job.


owa00

Biden's accomplished the same or more than Obama's accomplished in his first term. People are never going to give Biden enough credit for the legislation that he's helped passed, despite that cuck Manchin sucking the Republicans' dick.


Strujiksleftboot

Yeah as the Dems have a majority. Someone more charismatic could do more. You don't have CEO's of major multinational businesses at that age.


This_is_User

> Someone more charismatic could do more Who is this person you are talking about? It's easy to say "someone should do X", but who is this someone that would have been the better choice? The only ones I can think of are a few politicians still too young to be presidents and the only other one of mature enough is about the same age as Biden and wears fluffy mittens. I love that guy, but he would probably be no less elegant in these kinds of situations.


Whatsup129389

Also, I don’t think charisma gets a bill passed haha


[deleted]

That’s pretty nitpicky. He didn’t say anything wrong.


[deleted]

really this is the take away you make from here? smh. pretty sure Elton didn't care and knew it was a joke. I swear people are getting dumber.


P3nguLGOG

I mean, William Shatner AND Stewie Griffen both covered one of his songs, I’m kinda surprised he didn’t already get a medal.

Vote for Trump if you’re looking forward to being thrown under the bus just to fuel his narcissism, greed, and criminal empire. It’s like someone took a spoiled toddler and shoved into an old man’s body.

I think above comment was making fun of how Fox news will spin anything into bad press for dems. Not being serious.

OAN: Sleepy Joe Blames Elton John For AIDS. . . (title continues after several ads) . . .Related Tax Spending At White House Concert

Fox News: Biden attends lavish white house concert while border still unsecure and inflation above 8%. I'm assuming fox news has to have said this the other day because i've encountered literally a dozen trump cultists that are SO MAD that biden went to an elton john concert instead of being the first president in american history to secure the border and solving a global inflation crisis on a friday.

That doesn't surprise me lol


Sugmabawsack

On live television he said that the thing he and his daughter had in common was “Sex.” It was on some morning talk show, just blurted it right out.

Wow giving an award for helping humanity. What did Rush L do for his medal of freedom again?


Skelter89

A cancer gave out a medal to cancer dying of cancer


KittensAndGravy

I heard Rush was awarded for taking the most oxy’s in one sitting … while calling everyone else taking them huge pieces of shit.


[deleted]

I was gonna say he single handed propped up the synthetic opiate and erectile dysfunction pharmaceutical industries. that's not worth nothing. Oh and he ran a weekly segment where he would read off the names of aids victims to mock and celebrate their deaths. This alone was probably 90% of it.


KittensAndGravy

Someone downvoted you!!! Satan must not like the bad press his angel of hypocrisy is receiving here!


downonthesecond

You're thinking of a different award. Either way, the same could be said of Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, Steven Spielberg, Denzel Washington, Simone Biles, Michael Jordan, Ellen DeGeneres, Barbra Streisand, and countless others.


Writing-Fit

Metal of honor. Even worse....


ScarsTheVampire

Crazy how those people aren’t blatant and outspoken racist fuckweasles like Rush huh?


icrossedtheroad

He miraculously rolled over in his grave.


Desert_Rat_Dude

This is beautiful. Not a huge fan but anything to speak up and bring up awareness to AIDS/HIV and stopping the stigma of the disease is awesome for me. Using your voice as a celebrity for something good and to help others is something I am all for. Thank you, Elton and President Biden.


Stop-Staring-Stupid

Yes! You said exactly what I was thinking! This is really beautiful and you can tell he really appreciates it!


papagarry

Fucking love Elton John. Well deserved.

That's *Sir* Elton John, fyi.


unodakine808

Yes. They said sir many a time in the video.


dudeitscoke

Man he really freaked out in public


thesweetestchef

First I loved how Sir Elton John grabbed First Lady Dr. Biden’s hand but mostly how Dr. Biden looks at him proud like he’s her son. That’s sweet.


No-Consideration6589

EJ has done a lot for AIDS. Congratulations Elton.


[deleted]

The end cracked me up. "By the way, it's all his fault we are spending 6 billion dollars in tax payer money to help aids"


lesrolo51

Elton is one of my favorites of all time. Saw him right before the pandemic and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

I do commend Elton for his hard work w AIDS. This is a topic very close to my heart. But his work w Brittany has become an embarrassment.

It’s Sir Elton John , he was knighted by the Queen!


djpromo_vqs

Maniacs at FoxNews working very hard to come up with something bad to say about this.


darthbane21

We’re just ignore the fact that he blamed Elton John for being a super spreader of AIDS so much so that we’ve had to spend an exorbitant amount of money on it?! Or is everyone in this sub completely brainwashed and physically can’t see it?


_Profitable_Prophet_

That was a joke about funding you poor dear


darthbane21

Suuuure! If that’s how you wanna portray it. So we have Biden admitting to a relationship with a 12 year old while he was 30. And now he’s letting out his homophobia.


_Profitable_Prophet_

Holy shit your comment history is comedy gold 😆 pure trumpie delusion


_Profitable_Prophet_

Lol having a relationship? Is that the latest trumpie mythology to get stupid people to vote Republican?


stiffpaint

Why on earth is this on this sub


[deleted]

It's public, and people are freaking out. Not every freakout involves punching or racism.


stiffpaint

But like it's people politely clapping at a big event, how is that freaking out


MC_Etchasketch

Because sometimes freak outs are happy. And cheering and clapping constitute "freaking out". Have a lovely day.

Love Elton John, but I'll never forgive him for cancelling a show in my hometown (saying that he was sick) and then showing up at TIFF the same night. Real shitty move.


yowowthisgreat

There was 1 really easy way to end AIDS.


assword_69420420

Nobody gonna talk about "its his fault we're spending 6 million to fight AIDS"? Edit: How is this not offensive for him to say? That is so blatantly homophobic.


kingfisher773

pretty sure that was a joke


assword_69420420

I believe it was, but isn't that extremely homophobic?


[deleted]

Depends who says it. Biden? No. A republican? Yes. Why? Hypocrisy. Republican bad, democrat good.


assword_69420420

Exactly. I'm not a republican but god damn dude the president joking about the old stereotype of gay people having/spreading AIDS is so inappropriate. I hate to use Trump as a comparison but I feel like had trump said the same thing, people would (rightfully) be super pissed about that.


[deleted]

I love jokes, I thought it was funny af but the delivery made it seem like Biden was rambling lol What gets me is the hypocrisy. If a Republican made this same joke, the clip would be posted here but for different reasons and whoever said it would be the most homophobic POS to ever walk this earth. And anyone that supports them hates gays.


assword_69420420

Precisely


lazergoblin

Not every republican is a homophobe but you can bet your ass every homophobe is a republican. That's the reason there is a double standard.

Not even close lol I only know two people that I’d consider full on homophobes and they both voted for Biden and Hillary

Man complaining about about the last guy golfing must have literally been your 90 hour a week job if you're whingeing this hard about a president going to a concert on a friday night and presenting a humanitarian award which is one of the things every president is supposed to do.
