minus-squareFlying SquidOPlink89•9 months agoDolly Parton is not just a random celebrity. She is a legitimate force for good. https://www.billboard.com/lists/dolly-parton-good-deeds-timeline/
minus-square@mriormrolink21•9 months agoAbsolutely and fully agreed. She’s a phenomenal person and one of the few figures I’m proud of as an American. That still doesn’t mean I’d consider her for president. The role, I’d say, asks for entirely different skill sets.
minus-squareFlying SquidOPlink37•9 months agoMaybe, but based on the two options we’re going to have in 2024, I’d take Dolly over either of them.
minus-square@SparlocklinkEnglish4•9 months agoOver the last few decades i have noticed a 100% correlation between a person’s dislike of Dolly and them being a shithead. Anyone who doesn’t like her is simply wrong. That is not an opinion just a statement of fact IMO.

minus-square@Emeraldlink1•9 months agoIs there an ihadastroke community for lemmy? I’m sorry but I can’t tell what you are trying to say.
minus-square@zeppolinkEnglish2•9 months agoOkay, let me diagram the sentence for you. The literal no-brain (adjective) – would (verb modifier) — be (verb) — JAKE PAUL (noun, subject) then, as a run-on sentence, and exclamation Yeah (exclamation he (pronoun, subject) can (affirmative) punch (verb) people (noun) Since you don’t seem to understand American English as commonly spoken, I’ll try to explain. If you’ve had a stroke recently, I understand. “The literal no brain” means “the action that would be done by someone who has no brains”, as in, very unintelligent or not thinking. “would be” “JAKE PAUL YEAh” : to cheer for Jake Paul. “he can punch people” : in context, someone with no brains would cheer for Jake Paul due to his physical fighting prowess. Hope that helps.
minus-square@Emeraldlink1•edit-29 months agoThat does not help Funny way to explain all that though so I must approve of the effort

“The literal no brain” means “the action that would be done by someone who has no brains”, as in, very unintelligent or not thinking.
“would be”
“JAKE PAUL YEAh” : to cheer for Jake Paul.
“he can punch people” : in context, someone with no brains would cheer for Jake Paul due to his physical fighting prowess.

Too bad John Prine can’t be her vice president.
My children have a stack of free age-approptiate books, and I will whack you with them until you read more about the good that Dolly has done.
Don’t worry, kids books are light.
Depends on the kids’ book…
I do not recognize that title as anything my children have received from Dolly’s Imagination Library.
I thought you meant kids’ books in general.
It’s unavoidable: politics is a popularity contest, and celebrities are popular…
Also being an actor doesn’t automatically mean they’re not fit for the role, Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, was an actor.
He was an actor with a degree in politics. It’s not like he didn’t at least have some knowledge of what was involved.
She’s a saint.
