why we adult voters would care about these so called celebrates to pick own president????? This is just a childish standard ..... These celebrates are just like us... Their expertise are in entertaining ... not the real issues we face... They are billionaires and living in a ultra luxury life... they do not know the struggle and difficulties of ordinary people..... Now gas price and grocery are three to four times expensive ... Will celebrates get these heat??? Are they struggling to meet their ends????
Get out these celebrities' for our choosing the suitable president of my nation.

Very good choice!

Upon hearing this news, Hulk Hogan was heard to say ‘He’s a Marxist, brother’.
Bob Fosse
Did you watch ‘The Apprentice’ and think “this billionaire understands the real issues and struggles of ordinary people, he’d make a fine President”?
Strangerland
Yeah, the right has been begging Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan to speak for Trump. How would those billionaires understand the people?
Kamala worked at McDonalds.
dagon
Boss acknowledges his privilege. He is a real self made billionaire unlike the GOP candidate.
Pure class.
Strangerland
Warren Buffett has said that if he was in charge, he would be paying more taxes.
The rich are under taxed.

There are over 40 billionaires supporting Kamala now and they were supporting Biden until she was replaced... Like a robot ...
The list is available...
Why they support Kamala?????? They know soon they can become TRILLIONAIERS if she is president.... So they will have more Mc. Donald workers to run the nation.
Kamala's Parents were university professors .. Why she has to work 8 hours in a Mc. Donald to feed her family????????
I think her capacity is to work in Mc Donald not as President of USA.. People should realize own capacity before applying for the job. Simple logic..
Strangerland
Yes, in spite of the fact that trump would give them tax benefits and kamala will tas them more. Because they know trump is garbage as a human being and fit for jail, not the presidency.
Strangerland
Clearly good parents who instilled a work ethic in her that drove her to work at McDonald’s.
I think Americans can relate to a person whose parents where teachers.

Warren Buffett?!

The case against Buffett
ProPublica analyzed leaked copies of Buffett's tax returns between 2014 and 2018, and found the Berkshire Hathaway CEO paid just $24 million in federal income taxes on $125 million of reported income. The non-profit publication emphasized how little tax he paid by pointing out that his net worth grew by an estimated $24 billion in that five-year period.
"No one among the 25 wealthiest avoided as much tax as Buffett, the grandfatherly centibillionaire," ProPublica declared.
I would give Warren Buffett as much credence on progressive democrat policies, as Bruce Springsteen support of Kamala Harris.
Bruce Springsteen is certainly a commercially successful rock legend.
I would happily twitch way to "Dancing in the Dark" to my hearts content, listening to "celebrity" political dogma I will always pass.
Bob Fosse
It was a summer job during college.
Maybe her parents, unlike 45’s, felt that independence is better than just leeching off of rich parents.
Strangerland
Is he supporting her or something? Why the bio? What do you think about his comments that if he were in charge he’d tax the rich higher?
The Ripper!
Bruce Springsteen backs Kamala Harris in latest celebrity endorsement
I will never attend a Bruce Springsteen concert again, and I will never listen to his music.
False; he never said that.
Warren Buffet:s company paid over $5 billion in taxes in one year.

I wasn't having a pop at you or your comment Strangerland.
I recently read an article about speculation that Kamala Harris could be taking "advice" from the master investment guru.
Has Kamala Harris Been Taking Investment Advice From Warren Buffett?
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/has-kamala-harris-been-taking-investment-advice-warren-buffett
I haven't read that Warren Buffett has endorsed Harris.
However Warren Buffet has stated quote more than 99% of my wealth will go to philanthropy during my lifetime or at death. I thought this gesture gave a hint of a more progressive social conscience in Buffett's twilight years.
I sincerely believe that voters can make up there own minds, I only wish the "celebrity" activist "politicians" would accept this suggestion.
Geeter Mckluskie
He's filthy rich. He hasn't felt the pinch of the working class he postures to be a hero of
Strangerland
And he is of the belief that relative to what they bring in, that taxation rate is too low. If he were in charge he would raise taxes on the rich.
Strangerland
Clearly losing MAGA followers means as little to him as it should.
They are useless.
Bob Fosse
The hypocrisy of maga is bottomless.
”Celebrities should stay out of politics (except the one I voted for)”
”Mail in voting is wrong (except when I do it)”
”Rich people can’t understand the working class (except me, I’m rich. Oh and the guy with a gold building I voted for)”
lincolnman
Indeed...."Chachi endorsed Trump....Yay!!!!!!!" Or maybe "Reeeeee!"....
Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen endorsed Harris - "How dare they tell us how to vote!"....
dagon
Yah, you're wrong, surprise,surprise.
https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2012/01/warren-buffett-and-his-secretary-talk-taxes
billionaire investor Warren Buffett jumped back into the political debate and showed his returns exclusively to ABC News' Bianna Golodryga, adding, "I have never had it so good. … What has happened in recent years, we were told a rising tide would lift all boats, but the rising tide has lifted all yachts."
Buffett's secretary since 1993, Debbie Bosanek, sat next to her boss just hours after being invited by the president to the State of the Union address, where the president made her the face of tax inequality in America.
Bosanek pays a tax rate of 35.8 percent of income, while Buffett pays a rate at 17.4 percent.
"I just feel like an average citizen. I represent the average citizen who needs a voice," said Bosanek. "Everybody in our office is paying a higher tax rate than Warren."
Jimizo
He wasn’t born filthy rich. Far from it. His background seems pretty working class.
Are you saying filthy rich people can have no conception of the suffering of the less well-off?
Watch how you vote.
Some dude
I'm trying to think of which "celebrity" (I hate that word, but it fits) endorsement of Harris would enrage the MAGA types the most. Someone who hasn't yet made a public declaration, but who the MAGA people view as "one of them". If such a person came out and publicly endorsed Harris, the hissy fit would be heard around the world.
Hervé L'Eisa
Oh! Well then this changes everything! Now I will definitely vote according to my own decision.
I truly couldn't care less about what any celebrity thinks. Their priveliged opinion is worthless.
bass4funk
No one, and I mean no one cares about a mediocre musician supporting Kamala, good for him.
None.
No one cares. They do what they want, so will I.
Jimizo
It’s a fair point.
I still think Chachi’s enthusiastic endorsement of Trump carries weight with some thought.
Some dude

None.
Doesn't bother you, so you have to call him a "mediocre musician" and insist that it doesn't bother you at all.
Jimizo
Watch the bitterness. He earned his wealth. The fact that he made a success of his career and became very wealthy doesn’t invalidate his opinions or make them less worthy than the ones you express here.
The big difference is his opinion is the story and yours is the comment on it.
dagon
'The E Street Band, very mediocre performers.
Steven Van Zandt is completely overrated.
Nils Lofgren is deranged, no talent.
Bruce is just a tool of Obama.
Did you hear everyone at the RNC praising my DJ skills?'
bass4funk
Thank God!
No.
Exactly.
No bitterness, he earned his wealth like any other musician, BTS earned their wealth as well.
Not at all, the point is, who cares? If he posts who he hates or what he had for breakfast, does it matter in the bigger scheme of things?
Well, I just did.
lincolnman
ROFL...their pain and frustration of this endorsement clearly shows...
Book-mogul Melania...
Fails to realize he's in a controlled cult...
The Ripper!
Is Bruce pushing for wealthy musicians to pay more in taxes?
I'm sure all musicians appreciate losing fans.
bass4funk
Zero pain, just wondering about the headlines. if it were Daryl Hall, maybe that would be attention-grabbing.
?
No, I'm not a liberal don't worry.
Some dude
Not at all, the point is, who cares? If he posts who he hates or what he had for breakfast, does it matter in the bigger scheme of things?
What Bruce Springsteen had for breakfast is irrelevant to everyone except Bruce Springsteen.
Who he endorses for president is relevant to a very large number of people.
I don't have much time for the concept of "celebrity worship". In fact I think it's pretty pathetic, and we have devalued the concept of celebrity so much that you can now be a "celebrity" by having a two-bit YouTube channel.
But the fact is, for whatever reason, we do pay attention to what these famous people say and do. Why else would people scramble so hard to get their endorsements, recommendations, and so on? Someone as well known as Springsteen will be fully aware that openly endorsing a candidate will make waves.
Some dude
I'm sure all musicians appreciate losing fans.
I would think someone like Springsteen has enough fans that he won't be bothered by losing the lunatic fringe of the lunatic fringe.
lincolnman
Major pain...
!
Yes....
The REAL BOSS showing fake boss who is really the apprentice...and the tears from MAGA-world flow....
lincolnman
My God, where are you hearing all of this? ROFL!
Each "Liberal" just shows how manipulated and controlled you are...
MAGA Butt-hurt...
bass4funk
Bruce himself.
If that were true they wouldn't be running like lemmings spouting off the same exact talking points daily like their liberal counterparts.
Hardly, they pulled that liberal thorn from their side
Geeter Mckluskie
Yeah, in the 1960s and 70s when the working class could afford a home, car and a large family. Springsteen's parents owned a home and even bought him a car! So, no...he's never felt the pinch of the working class
Geeter Mckluskie

"Working Class" means anyone who needs to work to support themselves and their family. There are just two classes: those who work and those who own. 90% of the people are working class.
lincolnman
Bruce Wayne? ROFL...
BINGO! Thanks for another "liberal" example...can't get the word out of your head, can you?
And one more "liberal" just to confirm how controlled he is...thanks again....
Burning Bush
That's your own private interpretation of the phrase. And your percentage seems random.
"What Is the Working Class? "Working class" is a socioeconomic term used to describe persons in a social class marked by jobs that provide low pay, require limited skill, or physical labor. Typically, working-class jobs have reduced education requirements."
bass4funk
What does he have to do with Springsteen?
It is what the left does.
How? The left controls everything.
wallace
Springsteen and his band are set to rock the Kop.
"In a thrilling announcement for music and football fans alike, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band are confirmed to electrify Anfield with a live performance on June 4, 2025."
Blacklabel
Yeah cause that Taylor Swift endorsement was so (not) impactful,
all those Springsteen fans were just totally waiting to hear from him about who to vote for. lol
bass4funk
There you go, but every little sensation helps I guess, if you can't get the people, a music endorsement might help.
lincolnman
Went over his head...again...
Tries switching from "liberal" to "left"....fails...
BINGO! More proof...
Belrick
Springsteen needs to be quiet. All celebrities do. He's washed up.
