Kid Rock describes his dinner with Bill Maher and Donald Trump (and Dana White).


"It could not have been better. Everyone was so surprised, so pleasant.... We talked about things we had in common — ending wokeness, securing the border.... It blew my mind. I was very proud.""

Kid says he was "shocked" that Maher — for all his big contributions to Democratic candidates — had never been to the White House. And Trump was "so gracious — he took us up to the private residence, we saw the Gettysburg Address in the Lincoln Bedroom."

What did Kid Rock wear?

I would really like to get to the point where being a fellow American is more important in relationships than Team Blue vs Team Red.

We need a functioning Democrat party.

Right now- the democrat party is a toxic hate-fueled dumpster fire, built on layers of hate, lies and deceit.

Red, white, and blue are colors of the flag, not people in Diversity blocs or albinophobic pride parades. #HateLovesAbortion

Earnest Prole said...

If only Zelensky knew he could have worn that.

We don't need a functioning Democrat Party. The Democrat Party has been from inception a wellspring of elitism, racism, hatred, deceit, and anti-American venom. Its existence is a cancer in the nation and its current iteration is the most evil since it went to war to keep slaves.
It would be best for America and the world if the Democrat Party was entirely eradicated and completely discredited forever.

Jim Gust said...

I'm surprised that Maher was never invited to the White House by Democrats. I'll be interested to see what he has to say about his experience.

rehajm said...

Yah, I’m good with the current crop Of Democrats wandering the woods forever. Take all the Soros hires and revered Hawaiian judges with you…

Breezy said...

Hoping for a snowball of blue to red converts. People can only deny common sense for so long. If there’re enough converts, the WI SC election won’t matter.

How far up the Trump hate scale did Maher move with this visit?
Trump is of course a 10
Musk 10
Vance 9.5
All cabinet members 9.3
Peter Doocy 9.1
Kid Rock 8.7
Maher 7.5

Bill Maher and Kid Rock get drunk together and smoke cigars:

Kid Rock is an entertainer - Proller.

Another terrific moment. I consider getting optimistic.

Kid Rock home, others damaged by erosion in South Florida
Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, lives at 11 Ocean Drive in Jupiter Inlet Beach Colony.
Purchase: He bought the oceanfront home for $3.2 million in 2012.
Location: The house is located in the exclusive community of Admirals Cove in Jupiter Inlet, Florida.
Erosion: His stairway to the beach and part of his back deck have been damaged by beach erosion.
Me: Well, this is wrong. Admiral's Cove is a different high-end residential development in Jupiter FL, my adopted hometown of 54 years. Rock's house is/was (does he still own that - I didn't find something I could trust and quick) in the Jupiter Inlet Colony. Originally named the Jupiter Inlet Beach Colony, it was developed by Charles Martyn, whose daughter and granddaughters I dated in the 70s. It is a very nice area and many of my high school friends lived there back in the day, along with Perry Como. Tammy Wynette bought the oceanfront house Charles Martyn's daughter owned prior to her divorce. Great house with a swimming pool in the center, screened in, with the house surrounding it, except where the house faced the ocean. Other celebrities, including Olivia Newton-John, have lived in that community. So don't believe eveything on AI

Once you can see the Democrat Party for what it is - a large organized crime ring that uses politics to achieve its objectives - the things it does suddenly makes sense.

"whose daughter and granddaughters I dated in the 70s"

I have questions.

bagoh20 said...

Thank God and the voters that we finally got out of that "return to normalcy" in the White House with "the adults in the room" and diaper changes, naps, and staff working feverishly in the dark to fashion the days set of lies to distribute to the media. This is what normal should look like in America: joyful, optimistic, open, and human.

Marcus Bressler said...

Well, "dated" the daughters, then an "affair" with the mother. Hat trick we used to say back in the day

Dave Begley said...

Trump is, at heart, a nice guy who wants our country to succeed. What rational person can hate that?

William said...

Kid Rock is a step up from Kanye. I guess the Maher invite was a win for both Trump and Maher. Maher's next show where he talks about the dinner is sure to bump his ratings. It' makes Trump look like a bigger man than, say, Obama who never acknowledged Maher's support.......We'll see how his Presidency works out, but as a reality show, there's much to rcommend it.

Skeptical Voter said...

Based on that costume I wouldn't have given Kid Rock anything more than a MacDonald's cheese burger for dinner. But that's just me. I don't sit down to dinner with clowns very often.

"Trump is, at heart, a nice guy who wants our country to succeed. What rational person can hate that?"

So true. But that's why they have to make him out to be a monster. Unfortunately has worked with a lot of people. Some have seen the light.

Even Bago has come around! Good to see him back.

bagoh20 said...

Thanks Rabel. I agree it's good to see me. I say it every morning with a sense of relief and some surprise.

Aggie said...

Kid Rock, or Kid Schlock? It used to be, an outfit like that came with a crash helmet and a motorcycle jump.

mindnumbrobot said...

Have to agree with most that Kid Rock's outfit is in poor taste, especially with a portrait of Ronald Reagan in the background. Reagan famously never even took his jacket off in the Oval Office.

Rabel said...

You still got your manufacturing business?

JIM said...

"Someone shot out of a cannon" Peter Doocy; that's pretty funny, glad to see Kid Rock takes it like a man.

tcrosse said...

Proper attire to meet the President in the Oval Office

john mosby said...

All these comments and no one has asked Grok to do a parody of My Dinner with Andre, swapping in Trump and Maher.

I would attempt it freehand, but I don’t recall enough dialog from MDwA.

Rabel said...

Kid Rock responds for me to mindnumbrobot's distress.

George Leroy Tirebiter said...

So the White House uses Cisco phones. Recognized it in the photo, and looked it up. In use since 2016, one model for normal, unclassified calls and another model modified for secure calls. Twas a Cisco-ite for 14 years in Santa Clara until Covid inspired me to retire (actually it was everything migrating to the cloud, tech wise, which certainly made sysadmin much less fun, and now with AI eating tech glad I exited when I did).

john mosby said...

On further reflection, you could just use the existing My Dinner with Andre script, and just have Maher do the Wallace Shawn part and Trump do the Andre Gregory part. The two parts fit their personalities.

Here's Kid Rock going a long way for those of you who don't have a stick up your ass.

This sounds like an IRL performance of Sartre's No Exit."Hell" as Garcin the protagonist says, " is other people." Truly it is. And especially those three.

Guess I am the only one who expects Maher will totally trash Trump during his next show.

Jim at said...

I would really like to get to the point where being a fellow American is more important in relationships than Team Blue vs Team Red.

If Team Blue were to simply leave Team Red alone, we might get to that point.

But that's never going to happen.

Rebus Kenevus sez, "I'm gonna fall into the biggest goddamned hole this stinkin' desert's ever seen."

Jimmy said...

Can't wait for the View, the two or three haters on this blog, and Maddow to trash Maher for the visit.
If they want a civil war, thats fine. Look forward to it. But it's a shame Democrats won't meet with Trump and deal with waste fraud etc. seems bipartisan, but then the left has NEVER done anything that would help this country. NOTHING.

I've never been a BIG FAN of Trump, but he's NOW the President. So let's give him a chance!
When he screws up (and he will) let me know..

planetgeo said...

Sigh. Reminds me of those days (and nights) at UCLA arguing politics, drinking beer, and exchanging germs of endearment with liberal friends. Those really were great days. And nights. Feel bad for today's young ideological warriors. Hope you all figure it out. You're missing a lot.

Bill R said...

I'm imagining President Reagan looking out at the oval office from his portrait....

Army and Marine Corps banners with battle ribbons. Excellent.

Remington statue of a cowboy. Perfect.

Uh. Never speak ill of another Republican.

WTF!?

DINKY DAU 45 said...

Zelensky just ordered two of these KID NOT suits for his next oval office meeting. Zelensky s an entertainer as some said up in here so tha'ts makes the cut! P.T. BARNUM said Rock was missing from his wagon and they were looking for him.
