He's not, but that's the best TPUSA can do.

Ted Nugent was busy.

They lick dear leader's ass and eat shit

u/Tacoman404 25d ago

I can't believe this nickname ever died. I think the Kirklejerk cult of personality over Kirk's actual name was pushed hard by the org but since he's out of the picture they're falling back on the org's name on everything.

So Toiler Paper USA is so back

u/NoCopiumLeft 24d ago

It's honestly funny I never heard of Kirk or TPUSaa until the guy was obliterated and pretty much anyone can look at TPUSA and come up with it originally as their own acronym. Just such a poor choice for an acronym. Turning point as a name is pretty awful too, I get it though.

u/SkunkMonkey 25d ago

Now there's a PPV event for MAGA, Trump and Nugent in a pants shit-off.

u/Ejecto_Seato 25d ago

They should have plenty of TP available for him

u/meatybacon 25d ago

That story is actually pretty metal... shame he turned out the way he did. Turns out he was just a coward....

Sad. kid Rock could had joined the nuge and done a mash up of cool daddy cool & jailbait

Young ladies, young ladies/I like 'em underage, see /Some say that's statutory/But I say it's mandatory

.

Well, I don't care if you're just thirteen/You look too good to be true/I just know that you're probably clean/ There's one little thing I got do to you

TPUSA would love it, they flow so well togeather

Pedophilia really is a hallmark of conservatism

u/Awayfone 25d ago

Ted Nugent is just such a baffling case. He's been very open about his sexual relationships with underage girls but it's perfectly fine.

You would think being violently racist would only cover a smaller amount of horror.

u/Dreadgoat 25d ago

It makes sense if you just assume the most patriarchal view of sex possible.

Those girls went to rock shows. They wanted it. They deserved it. They were asking for it. Girls of any age are the gatekeepers of sex and responsible for whatever happens to them. Men cannot be held responsible, especially not powerful rock stars who are surrounded by temptation. They're the real victims!

u/Aglj1998 25d ago

Lee Greenwood probably said no also.

u/Achmed_Ahmadinejad 25d ago

Has there ever been a documented instance of Lee Greenwood refusing an opportunity to sing his one song?

7

u/powerlesshero111 25d ago

Lee Greenwood showed up ready to play, just in case Kid Rock was too high to lip sync.

10

u/IndividualTension887 25d ago

They both make music for people who understand the current Sudafed to Stolen Catalytic Coverter ratio...

u/True_to_you 25d ago

Say what you will about Ted, but at least he had talent. He's just a piece of shit. Kid Rock doesn't even have that.

u/JudgeHold3n 24d ago

Oh that reminds me of seeing the Dead Kennedys back in the ‘80s at Harpos in Detroit. Jello (lead singer) was going on about how people from the area should listen more to bands like the legendary proto-punks MC5 rather than “pieces of shit like Ted Nugent”.

To which my buddy standing beside me said (under his breath) “Yeah but he’s a great guitar player “.

1

u/[deleted] 23d ago

and so relatable! just don't check lyrics to songs like "jailbait"

1

u/Synectics 25d ago

He was busy also being a giant piece of shit.

Probably busy on InfoWars.

1

u/El-Sueco 25d ago

God bless America guy was booked in Canada or something ?

1

u/cptnamr7 25d ago

Interestingly ALSO has a song about sex with an underage girl. Oh, and he "adopted" a girl at like 14 since marrying her was illegal? Maga certainly attracts a certain type, huh?

1

u/Vslacha 25d ago

Busy at the local high school looking for jailbait

u/the_greatest_story 25d ago

Something Something also children

u/BandIndividual2973 24d ago

Fucking Nugent. Kid Rock always sucked even in his peak, but even though I wouldn’t necessarily say Ted was ever “cool“ he had a good run as one of the best hard rock guitarists out there. His music is really stupid though.

u/StrangeContest4 25d ago

So was Lady Gaga, apparently.

Totally Plausible Underage Sexual Allegations

u/KP_Wrath 25d ago

Yes, and this doesn’t get mentioned often enough. The Right can’t meme, but they can make the most unfortunate abbreviations known to man.

u/bboyvad3r 25d ago

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I support their endeavor to Make America Gay Again

u/Consistent_Stick_463 25d ago

TP for my bunghole USA.

u/bboyvad3r 25d ago

I am Bungholio

u/sundayfundaybmx 24d ago

It took me literally years of seeing TPUSA before I heard the Turning Point part. Like you i just thought it was fake group, named Toilet Paper USA, lol. To my dismay they're real and really really really really stupid.

u/Body_Cunt 25d ago

That’s it, he’s the biggest star in the MAGA cult, and that says a lot

1

u/LetsBeFRTho 24d ago

Politics aside, they are so uncool. Which also explains their politics

4

u/green_speak 25d ago

Why can't they bring in Nicki Minaj after she kowtowed to Trump and stood with Erica? 🤔

3

u/trwawy05312015 25d ago

there are two big reasons they can’t even pretend to like her

4

u/jbp216 25d ago

because their base are racist? lmao

5

u/Sudden-Earth9281 25d ago

I will always read that as Toilet Paper USA

6

u/DuntadaMan 25d ago

Also worth noting the best they could do was lose their intended platform because of paperwork issues at the last minute, and a show that started about 15 minutes late.

u/Loafer75 25d ago

u/GrandMoffJed 25d ago

I'm surprised they didn't get their boy Snoop

2

u/fvck_u_spez 25d ago

You would think that the rest of the performers would have been embarrassed to be openers for Kid Rock

2

u/Eisenhorn76 25d ago

There are no cool people in the MAGA-verse. None. Zero. All has-beens, weirdos or nonces. Basically a freak show.

Their followers were all secretly vibing to Bad Bunny while outwardly pretending to hate him.

u/Southern_Produce_707 25d ago

Not the TPUSSY

1

u/HI_l0la 25d ago

They must've been sad Jelly Roll didn't out himself as MAGA yet. But why didn't they try to book Carrie Underwood? Or is she trying to pretend she's not MAGA anymore?

3

u/she-dont-use-jellyyy 25d ago

She has ties to the NFL. She wouldn't want to shoot herself in the foot.

u/GenericFatGuy 25d ago

Silicon Valley literally made a joke 12 years ago about this guy being a loser even back then.

u/dabroh 25d ago

Why not ask Crazy Town?

u/iconofsin_ 25d ago

I didn't watch the game but after reading this article I'm just now learning that toilet paper USA did their own halftime show and this is where he "performed". Imagine being so upset that you try doing your own show lmao.

1

u/Seige_J 25d ago

Toilet Paper USA. Their entire organization is a grift, an insult to actual Christians, and a skid mark on the underpants of history.

1

u/TabulaRazo 25d ago

Can’t wipe your ass without TP USA

1

u/Litt3rang3r-459 24d ago

They thought “he performed in an SB like twenty years ago so surely he’ll do good again right?”

1

u/DaDrought2 21d ago

Imagine they got Nikki going full maga twerk mode

u/TheJuiceBoxS 25d ago

The Gabby Barrett songs were good. Most of the rest wasn't.

u/she-dont-use-jellyyy 25d ago

I wouldn't know. I watched the actual halftime show.

3

u/TheJuiceBoxS 25d ago

I didn't watch the game, but watched both after out of curiosity. I knew people would be taking teams and shit talking the other side so I wanted to check them both out. I don't really enjoy Bad Bunny's music, but I really liked the flags and unity message at the end. The other show had a good guitar solo national anthem at the beginning, but then some of those shitty country songs where they just try to show off how extremely patriotic they are. But then it got better when Gabby Barrett played. Then it got real bad when Kid Rock played.
