Welcome to the resistance, Nickleback and Chumbawamba
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-fans-are-enraged-at-nickelback-and-not-for-their-musicDonald Trump fans are fuming at much-derided Canadian band Nickelback, after Twitter took down a Trump tweet featuring one of the band’s songs over a copyright violation.
Trump posted the music video for Nickelback’s 2005 hit “Photograph” on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon. The video was edited to show Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger holding up a picture of Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden golfing with a board member of the Ukrainian energy company at the center of Trump’s attempts to pressure Ukraine into investigating the Bidens.
But Trump supporters’ delight at the president’s use of Nickelback—which has long been an Internet punchline because of the perception that its songs are terrible—soon turned to anger at the Canadian band after Twitter took down Trump’s video for a copyright violation.
“Make America Hate Nickelback Again!” tweeted Matt Batzel, the head of conservative training nonprofit American Majority. “Nickelback was thrilled they were trending on Twitter so they complained to make sure they could unite the nation against them.”

Blundering pro-Trump smear artists Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl are at it again today with another press conference in Burkman’s driveway. As always: these guys love to lie and Jacob is facing a felony charge. I’ll be tweeting sparingly if at all.

The press conference is being drowned by out by Chumbawamba. Jacob tells the security guard to remove a heckler, but the guard appears to refuse on the grounds that the man is on public property.
