Gene Simmons Didn’t Even Get an Invite to Trump’s Soft-Ass Party

Oh, also, have you considered a one-party state, America?

Gene Simmons, a man with a long tongue and a longer list of bad opinions, appeared on Fox News this morning to direct a series of ill-considered soundbites at three pointless avatars. It was excruciating in the same way that the next four years are going to be and, almost immediately, you're just grateful that Simmons doesn't have a cabinet position under the bloated, racist, misogynistic lump of daddy-didn't-love-me masquerading as the President-elect.

Simmons was, of course, asked about the inauguration, an event for which Trump has been unable to book even competent musicians. Was Gene Simmons ever asked to play at the event? Observe, the Post Malone Conundrum:

Please, this happened at the airport, this happens everywhere we go when the papparazi show up and I always think it's about my oral appendage or what do you think about farm animals. Why does anybody give a squat what a guy in a band thinks about or anything like that? The last thing I want to do is to ask President Obama what he thinks about Led Zeppelin.

Avatar: But were you invited?

Simmons: Well, as far as I know nobody ever called me. I know Donald Trump, I know our President-elect well enough I suppose, but I never got a call. The problem with even talking about this is everything has become so polarized. People should just give it a rest and stop trying to use politics or what our President-elect means or doesn't mean as some kind of tool. A wake-up call is that Al-Qaeda, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade and all the other bad guys in the world actually don't make a difference between Republicans and Democrats or anybody, they just don't like Americans. So maybe we should just all sign up to the American Political party and just get used to it.

In brief: "Musicians shouldn't talk about politics. I suggest a one-party state."
