It's an untenable narrative. Supposedly 11 million extra people came out with a strictly anti-Trump vote and suddenly none of these people bother to stop Trump this time around.
Biden had 95% of registered democrats voting for him. That is an insane number. His rallies were empty, so it was obviously not because of enthusiasm for him as a candidate. With Kamala getting none of these extra votes you gotta wonder what the hell is going on.
I stayed up all night watching that count. Trump was way ahead everywhere until suddenly they stopped counting, and then the next day all the votes had apparently gone to Biden.
Yeah, I was monitoring early on Tuesday night and all the projections were Trump was going to win and by a decent margin. And those kept getting stronger as the night went on, but I still didn’t trust them. But it did play out that way, which was shocking. Never thought he’d win the popular vote. Like you said, the whole democratic platform and campaign was Trump is Hitler and “anybody but Trump”. Apparently that didn’t work? Were the 11 million more people that voted against him just fed up with the last four years? Doesn’t really add up.

QUICK somebody get a cooler full of mail in ballots to PA STAT
Statements like this make me feel like I should've voted for Harris. If we can't agree that the orange guy lost in 2020, then what common ground do we have? Trump lost the 2020 election. I voted for that crazy guy today. How do you expect to bring aboard people like me? This tocix cycle is doomed to repeat itself again no matter who is running. Does anyone on this forum really think he won in 2020?

I'm also wondering about these veep picks. Vance was/is horrific....but Walz was a dud as well.
What happened to choosing someone who will help the ticket? Remember those days?
Just curious, what’s your issue with Vance? I bought into the media hype that’s he’s a nut, but I was thoroughly impressed by him during the VP debate. I thought Walz was pretty good too. Left watching that wishing those were the two candidates for President. That gave Trump a boost in the polls after Kamala was gaining some momentum. Maybe anything would have been refreshing after watching the Trump/Biden and Trump/Harris debates though. The bar certainly wasn’t set very high.
Everything I’ve seen and heard from Vance though, I’ve been impressed with. Granted, it’s limited to the debate and some other clips here & there. But he seems well spoken, knowledgeable, accountable, etc.

It makes me mad/sad thinking GNR should/could be pulling off stuff like this. All they do is tour, that’s the only time you ever hear anything from or about them. Otherwise, it’s just radio silence.
I’d definitely be down for another Metallica covers album if it’s this quality. I never got into their other covers all that much other than the ones that made it to radio. Any standouts I should check out?

Yep, definitely official
It's poorly written, but it's definitely official. The ownership and reciprocal links on his official social media accounts check out. Perhaps it's something he's done himself? It'd be a cool place to embed leaks of all the Chinese Democracy stuff they aren't ever going to release.
I don't really understand what function is has though. It isn't selling anything, there's nothing to promote and there's almost no information on there.
All very strange and completely in keeping with the weirdness of GNR. It would be amazing if a timer appeared on it in the near future however.
I love me some Axl Rose, but this could possibly go down as the most useless website ever. I can’t see him contributing much of anything to it, so what’s the point? Maybe he’ll prove me wrong, but I’m certainly not expecting to be checking for daily updates.

Nice! Has there ever been any explanation why Guns didn’t play those two songs back in the day? Always personal favorites of mine.

I don’t particularly like the video either, but like James said, I give them credit for putting something out there. Even though it doesn’t make sense to put out a video for a song that went thud about a month ago. Not sure why the video and single couldn’t come out together. Would’ve made a lot more sense. They could’ve easily just done nothing, so at least this seems to signal they’re going to acknowledge these new songs in some manner going forward.
I certainly hope “Monsters” gets the attention it deserves whenever that time comes. It might be awhile though.

Looks like we’ll be getting a music video for The General next week, 1/24. Not sure why they can’t release things together, on time, or when it makes sense, but ok.

Some sort of "influencer" may have spread it somewhere. That's a hefty jump for them so quickly.
They have two “videos” for the song on YouTube for some reason, both seemingly the same. One has 46k views:
The other has 235k views with the words “Official Audio” included.
