[tjodity]

with the amount of ties to hamilton in the early smp it is a crime that no one made a manberg c!niki animatic to the adams administration rap

[georgewashington-official]

What is your favorite cut out song that didn't make it into the musical? I really like the Adams administration rap.

Of the ones cut out? Valley Forge. It hits hard. But it is a wonderful summary of that damned camp. And I dislike it the most. *chuckles* My favourite and at the same time least liked song.

[justanotherhamiltrash]

What's your favorite hamilton song?

Oh I love so many.

There's no clear ranking but I listen to The Adams Administration a lot (as long as it has the cut rap)

And if not, then Washington On Your Side :3

[godfrey-the-chaos-duck]

I didn’t know you liked Shakespeare, quick what’s your favorite work

Well I haven't read much of his works (I plan to) but so far my fave is Hamlet

Favourite LINE though has to be the opening two lines of The Merchant Of Venice ("In sooth, I know not why I am so sad//It wearies me, you say it wearies you")

Fun fact about my writing: That line, the "to be or not to be" soliloquy and a few others once I find them, are actually on a list I have of pieces of public domain literature that, if a character in a story of mine is reading them aloud, they are guaranteed to be interrupted at least once. "The Raven" is also on this list, and possibly the cut rap from Hamilton's "The Adams Administration" as well

And I plan to lean heavily into Shakespeare quotes for the villain au because Tennant is a Shakespearean actor and I have decided that Scrooge loveeees the works of the Bard

By Adam Elder

(BBC Sport) — On a Saturday evening in February 1990, many of the United States' finest footballers stepped on to A&M Studios' historic soundstage in Los Angeles.

A month before John Barnes would implore his England team-mates to "hold and give, but do it at the right time" in a studio in Berkshire, the United States team recorded their own rap - one they hoped would make the sport famous at home.

In a moment, some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities would walk through the door to join them.

The plan was to record a novelty music video for a star-studded jock jam called Victory. The track celebrated the United States' first trip to the World Cup in 40 years, long before any of these players were born.

Never mind fame, though. In 1990, making football a little less hated in the United States would have counted as a runaway success.

Americans mostly considered football a fringe concern - if they even considered it at all. Baseball, American football and basketball were the "real" American sports.

For most of the 20th century, football in the States was for "the others", to put it politely: expats, cab drivers, dishwashers, exchange students, leftists, intellectuals, Euro snobs and the like.

Still the US Soccer Federation was constantly thinking about how to grow the game.

Werner Fricker, the federation's stern but visionary president, had cannily realised Fifa's desire to wring American dollars out of the world's most popular sport. By 1988, he had guided the United States to victory over Brazil and Morocco to win the right to stage the 1994 World Cup.

But Fricker knew a World Cup in the States faced scepticism. He wanted to prove the hosts had a team good enough to qualify on merit.

He put up his own money to fund a push to qualify for the 1990 event. If the United States succeeded it would be the first time they had made the World Cup since Brazil 1950, where they earned their place via a second-place finish in a three-team pool.

"Werner refused to accept that qualification wasn't doable," said Kevin Payne, former director of marketing and national administrator for the Federation. "He knew what needed to be done, and that past attempts were amateurish."

Fricker made Bob Gansler the team's first full-time coach. A tough yet erudite German-Hungarian immigrant, Gansler's knowledge of American youth football ran deep.

The team picked by Gansler, many fresh out of college, had been raised during the North American Soccer League's Pele-led glory days and were a clean slate from past failures to reach the World Cup.

They had chips on their shoulders for all sorts of other reasons though.

Many of them were second-generation immigrants, their parents and family lives different from an 'apple pie' American ideal. They loved a sport that many around them reviled and yet there was no nationwide outdoor league for them to play in.

enraged that the most historically accurate thing in hamilton got taken out (cut rap from the adams administration)

As “War Criminal, Complicit in Genocide in Gaza, Demented, Hypocrite, Hegemonic and The Scrotums Licker of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐖 🐗 Joe Biden” Cheers TikTok Ban, White Elephant House Embraces TikTok Influencers

The White House Brushes Off Accusations of Hypocrisy, Courting TikTok While Seeking To Ban It.

As Congress And the National Security State continue their quest to ban the TikTok social media platform in the United States, President Joe Biden has been courting TikTok influencers to help him shore up youth support for his reelection. While the administration has been publicly casting TikTok as a grave threat to American security, the White House has quietly hosted a number of influencers to pitch them on pro-Biden content.

“Don’t jump, I need you!” Biden joked to a group of TikTok influencers as he walked by the group standing on the White House balcony on his way to deliver his State of the Union speech earlier this year.

In recent months, some of the biggest TikTok users with accounts boasting millions of followers have visited the White House, visitor logs reveal. Since September alone, some of the most prominent examples include:

Jason Linton, a dad who posts wholesome content about his family and whose TikTok account @dadlifejason has 13.8 million followers.

Michael Junchaya, (who goes by “Mikey Angelo” on the handle @mrgrandeofficial, 3.5 million followers), a young entertainer who specializes in rap recap videos.

Mona Swain (@monaswain, 1.9 million followers), theater enthusiast.

Alexandra Doten, space communicator, who previously worked for NASA (going by “Astro Alexandra” @astro_alexandra, 2.3 million followers).

Andrew Townsend (going by “Papi Dre” @andrewtowns, 3.1 million followers).

Alex Pearlman (@pearlmania, 2.6 million followers), comedian.

Josh Helfgott (@joshhelfgott, 5.5 million followers), LGBTQ+ advocate.

Perhaps the biggest TikToker hobnobbing at the White House was Oneya Johnson, a viral sensation famous for his angry reaction videos (@angryreactions) boasting 27 million followers. He visited the White House on September 27. (Johnson has since deleted his account after being arrested for domestic violence.)

Each of these TikTokkers’ meetings was coordinated by White House deputy director of partnerships, Morgan MacNaughton, who herself has a background with the company. She was hired away last year from Palette, a social media talent management company that specializes in TikTok personalities. While there, MacNaughton helped found the political group “TikTok for Biden” (since renamed “Gen-Z for Change”). Many of the TikTok users who visited the White House are themselves represented by Palette.

In 2022, Palette received a $200,000 payment from the Democratic National Committee for paid media, Federal Election Commission data shows. According to the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz, Palette was paid a retainer from the DNC to cover expenses for eight TikTok creators to travel to Washington in hopes of wooing them in the run-up to the midterm elections, resulting in an Oval Office meeting with Biden.

Anita Dunn, senior adviser to the president, told The Intercept that MacNaughton “helped to get POTUS’s message out to more audiences.”

“The reason Morgan’s position exists is because we knew the work she was capable of: discovering, ideating and leading creator talent,” Christian Tom, director of the White House’s Office of Digital Strategy, told The Intercept. “In just under a year at the White House, she has driven on many digital creator projects that have been vital to our digital strategy.”

With Biden’s reelection campaign in full swing, it would hardly be surprising that they’re meeting with influencers whose videos reach millions of Americans — were it not for the administration’s national security rhetoric about the app’s purported threat. Earlier this month, Biden raised his concerns about TikTok during a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, their first contact since November. Biden administration officials have raised hypothetical concerns about the Chinese ownership of TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance.

Public opinion on banning TikTok is sharply divided, with support tending to come from older Americans but marked opposition coming from youth. Biden’s support for the legislation has irked even some of his most ardent supporters.

“There are clearly some First Amendment concerns here and to do this in an election year seems wrong to me,” Harry Sisson told The Intercept. Sisson describes himself as a “pro-Biden content creator” and frequently uses his TikTok account (@harryjsisson, 800k followers) to advocate for the president and blast his opponents. (Sisson has himself visited the White House and is represented by Palette.)

“There are over 170 million Americans on TikTok, many of which get their news from the app, and to take that away and give Trump a talking point only hurts the Democratic Party,” Sisson said.

While White House visitor logs are only available through this past September, it is clear that TikTok influencers have continued to frequent the White House. When Biden gave his State of the Union speech in March, Sisson was one of dozens of social media influencers, including TikTok stars, invited to the White House where he spoke to his 800,000 followers during Biden’s address. The influencers sat on the White House balcony and watched as Biden headed over to the Capitol to deliver his speech.

Though the Biden administration has directly consulted on the creation of the legislation that could ban TikTok, the Biden campaign has embraced the app, creating an official account in February. The decision has drawn criticism from even some of Biden’s most stalwart allies.

“I’m a little worried about a mixed message,” Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said of the decision.

The White House, for its part, has brushed off accusations of hypocrisy, pointing to the fact that the federal ban on the use of TikTok on government devices is still in place and applies to White House officials, referring questions to the Biden campaign.

The campaign has said that it will “continue meeting voters where they are.”

Unless, of course, the app is banned.

Who sits at your desk when you're driving around going golfing?

They were calling you a dick back in twenty ten six

And you haven't done anything good since!

You're a nuisance with no sense

You'll die of irrelevance

Go ahead, you can call us the activists

You aspire to our level

You inspire to malevolence

Say, "Hi", to the Billionaires!

And corporations all around us,

Maybe they can confirm

We represent our generations beliefs in this thing on twitter and

[etherealtauruss]

i often think about how congratulations was cut from hamilton. but .. it doesn’t make sense lowkey. esp bc the love triangle was emphasized throughout the musical. like hamilton had his say. eliza had her heartbreaking say. so angelica needed to put in her two cents.

[boydykegenius]

i'm so mad bc all the cut songs from hamilton are so good??

[a-jar-of-jelly]

An open letter to the creep, racist, misogynistic

National embarrassment known as president Donald Trump

The mans irrational, he claims that what they need

Is to stop funding research for Covid-19

(Bitch please)

You don’t know what they’re doing

You’re always going berserk, but you never show up to work

Give our regards to your whole country next time you tweet about your lack of moral compass

You need to do your job up in this rumpus

(oh)

The spike is behind you, you’ll cross it again as protests are ragin again

Aww such a rough life, better run to your wife before your ass’s impeachment begins

Lemme ask you a question, who sits

At your desk while blacks die over fake counterfeits

People will talk of you and spit since ‘76 and you haven’t done anything new since

Your a nuisance with no sense

You will die of coronavirus

You say gays tempt the devil, but they won't stoop down to your level, 

you’re the one that inspires malevolence

Say hi to Russia! And the spies all around you maybe they can confirm

You don’t care if you kill your career in a tweet, 

So I’m confining you to one term

SAD!
