“I am never ever, ever, ever, ever doing this event again,” former Kentucky GOP gubernatorial candidate and event host Eric Deters, who throws the event on his farm, said on Facebook Monday. “When I put together Patriot State Freedom Fest, I put it together with the game plan and the idea that I could pay for it with the VIP sales of $1,000 from these hundred people that I interact with on a regular basis that have money.”

. . . “Out of all these people that have money that I interact with, who I do favors for all day long. They ask me for something, I never say no. I never said no to these people,” he said. “None of these people will ever, ever, ever get a favor from me again, ever. Not only will they never get a favor from me again, they do not have Bulldog immunity.” He also lashed out at the media for not adequately covering the event.

lol

    "Waaaa, some people I know didn't buy tickets for my shitty event! I'm never doing anything to help them again!"

    That diatribe alone should show he's unfit for office.

    Edit: The eejit is an attorney. Astounding.

    I feel gross to even try and look it up, but I did the dirty work for ya. Seems that he is the "bulldog" and immunity is referring to his "wrath". Idk, I didn't dig further, just took a screen shot and figured that's as much as anyone needs to know about what this twat thinks. Peaked as a douche in highschool vibes

    Right. That's because rich people feel entitled to others' favors. People do free things for them all the time just because they are rich. Your favors are a drop in the bucket, and just one more way that wealthy people get away with paying less than the rest of us do.

    I looked this guy up. He's 63. I can't imagine going that long without figuring out that rich people don't give a fuck about others. Dude's probably going through an existential crisis right now.

    Poor fucking baby. Expected people to spend money just cuz and the evil media didn't tell them they were obligated to do so.

    Look this is funny and all, but the title isn't quite accurate.
    "Canceled After No One Wanted to Pay $1000 to Go" would be accurate.
    I think the full truth makes a more interesting headline than this partially true headline.

    That a hundredish people did pay $1000 to go for several years in a row, and now in 2026 things have changed in a way that they won't pay this year, makes it more encouraging to me than if this were a fizzled startup attempt. Hopefully it's a sign the broader MAGA coalition is losing steam.

    …Deters is pissed, lashing out at people whom he apparently expected to attend.

    Are we not even trying to pretend we aren't an openly corrupt authorization oligarchy anymore?

    Back in my day we at least tried to lie about it to the press.

    I think it I'm slow on the uptake, but it just dawned on me. Is he popular with this administration because the word Kid in his stage name?

    It's more likely because of this

    I do appreciate that there's at least been some measure of consequence for these rich, fascist bastards, however minor.

    Couldn't Trump just get Hegseth to round up some people with Apache helicopters and threaten to shoot them if they don't attend?

    Kid Rock used to be entertaining. Not good music, but fun to laugh at.

    I remember when the internet used to like him for enforcing $3 beers at his concerts, because at one point he actually used to care about his working-class fanbase (or at least had a good PR team back then). Really goes to show how Trump can bring out the absolute worst in people.

    I hate to say it but I've seen him live and his show was really fucking good.

    I have a soft spot for his music because he hit big when I was in my early teens. He made juvenile rock rap aimed at broke white kids and I was that demographic. These days I'm abundantly aware that HE sucks, Bawitaba still slaps tho.
