1. No shit? Really? That's just fucking insane. N/T

[sandensea]

31. And I bet the Village People are NOT cool with this

But then, when has that ever stopped Orange Amin!

[CaptYossarian]

35. I always thought most gay people loved irony.

It's also a chance to see what "rhythm" our wooden VP has.

He probably moves as well as the stiff from Weekend at Bernie's.

[sandensea]

45. Good point.

All those cardboard dance moves and surly faces, with YMCA playing in the background, would be comedy gold.

[gademocrat7]

2. Holy Cow!

[gay texan]

3. Did this just honestly happen??? N/t

[Nevilledog]

5. They've used it for awhile.

18. Yep, 2019.

4. As if pence doesn't know

[Newest Reality]

6. Wow!

Yes, this episode of The Twilight Zone is the strangest one ever.

I find it so difficult to believe they don't realize what the song is. However, at that level of elitist thinking, they do live in bubbles of their own, which we should keep in mind strategically when the time comes.

On the subconscious level, it is hard to ignore just how amorous Pence's gaze is when he lovingly locks his eyes on Turmpa and radiates a glow of total adoration and devotion. It makes me wonder what he's thinking. "Oh, Daddy! Ummm. Yes!"

I know, a false equivalence, but we can speculate if we want to. That song is an odd pick for them out of millions of possible tunes. I don't even know what THEY think it means. Careers and jobs? LOL! Oh, wait...

[Nevilledog]

9. Clip I linked upthread is from Oct. 2019

I've seen other clips with his MAGAts dancing to it.

[Newest Reality]

10. Yeah,

I've seen some, too.

Most curious.

[Glorfindel]

7. I wonder if anyone listened to the lyrics? It's petty obvious.

Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy
Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time

Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams
But you got to know this one thing
No man does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A
I'm sure they can help you today

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

Young man, I was once in your shoes
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive
That's when someone came up to me
And said, young man, take a walk up the street
There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A
They can start you back on your way

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

Y.M.C.A....It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground
Y.M.C.A....you'll find it at the Y.M.C.A
No man, no man does it all by himself
Young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf
Y.M.C.A....just go to the Y.M.C.A
Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
Y.M.C.A....you find in the Y.M.C.A....
No man, no man does it all by himself
Young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf
Y.M.C.A....just go to the Y.M.C.A
Young man, young man I was watching your shoes
Young man, young I was down with the blues...

8. Is the campaign staff punking them or are they all this ignorant?

[MontanaMama]

21. It is safe to say

that they are ALL this ignorant!!!

[Pluvious]

27. Well, one of their speechwriters had Rickrolled Malignia... n/t

[paleotn]

32. They really are that ignorant.

It seems meanest correlates strongly with ignorance in this society.

[Duppers]

44. Truth! ⬆⬆ Meanness does...

"correlates strongly with ignorance in this society."

👍

[Totally Tunsie]

11. Quick! Someone ask Chump if he can spell

"Y M C A"!

[Funtatlaguy]

13. Young Men Cumming Again ?

[MontanaMama]

22. You owe me a keyboard!!!

[Funtatlaguy]

36. I hasten to ask why. What did you spit up? Not really any of my business.

[MontanaMama]

52. Nothing interesting...

Water! I was at work.

[volstork]

12. Perfect!

[agingdem]

14. in life there are very few delicious moments of ironic revenge...

[Blue Owl]

15. GOP Convention is full of Village Idiot People

n/t

[StarryNite]

16. What would Mother think?

Seriously though, I like this song and with they weren't using it.

[Midnight Writer]

17. Oh, c'mon. A construction worker, a cop, a cowboy, a soldier? What is gay about that?

Next they'll say WWE is gay.

[nolabear]

19. ...

[MontanaMama]

23. uh.....

[paleotn]

33. ..........

[Chipper Chat]

20. I remember having to explain to my record store employees

what you can get yourself clean you can have a good meal meant.

[NightWatcher]

24. Now they're just fucking with us.

[hibbing]

25. Convention of cluessness n/t

[dflprincess]

26. Mother is not going to like this

if someone clues her in.

[Withywindle]

28. Someone should tell them

"Macho Man" is EVEN MORE heterosexual.

[IronLionZion]

29. Pence doesn't need Mother around when he's with men

doing manly stuff. Thinking manly thoughts. Like this:

[paleotn]

37. Pence wouldn't know a horse...

if it lifted its tail and took a giant crap all over his shoes.

[Funtatlaguy]

39. I'll bet his insides have experienced a lot of other's outsides.

[LeftInTX]

30. They don't care

They really don't. They like the song and don't give a shit about the origin

[paleotn]

34. And these people were around in the late 70's....

And they didn't get it back then either.

[reACTIONary]

38. In the Navy You Can Join Your Fellow Man...

The Navy actually paid the to use that song.... then they found out and had to scuttle their plans

[nycbos]

41. The Simpsons did well with that song

[reACTIONary]

51. Sometimes a torpedo...

... is just a torpedo.

[Illumination]

40. That's about right. Fun song but old school. True or not they're both out of touch with

reality & a positive message...

[flibbitygiblets]

42. hahahahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa pfftttt haaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Trump and his band of dimwits are the political royalty of self-owns.

[Wounded Bear]

43. Why not? I remember they loved "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at his rallies...

I'm sitting there thinking, c'mon guys and gals, he's fucking telling you he's lying to you. You ain't gonna get that shit.



Clueless doesn't begin to explain it.

[dbonds]

46. Someone on their staff has to be seeing how far they can troll them.

Hey here's an idea. Go onstage to this anthem to the working man called YMCA. You can use the 'wild and crazy guy pointer finger' dance to it.

[yuiyoshida]

47. Maybe that's his thing....

Now. which is why Melania is so unhappy slapping away his hand. I bet he adores PUTIN.

[aggiesal]

48. Maybe they're projecting. That's my bet, longshot that it is! n/t

[BlueJac]

49. Wtf?

[Fritz Walter]

50. Well, it's only because...

...Queen wouldn't let them use Bohemian Rhapsody.

"Is this the real life?
"Is this just fantasy?
"Caught in a landslide,
"No escape from reality.""

"Any way the wind blows."
