“Smooth” is a collaboration between legendary guitarist Carlos Santana and Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas, featured on Santana's 1999 album Supernatural. Written by Thomas and Itaal Shur, the Latin-infused rock track became a monumental global phenomenon, spending 12 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #1 in Canada and becoming a major hit worldwide. Its infectious guitar riff and passionate vocals fueled one of the most remarkable commercial comebacks in modern music.
Incredibly, despite being a rock icon since the late 1960s, this was Santana's first-ever #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, achieved when he was 52 years old. Rob Thomas originally envisioned George Michael as the song's vocalist, but ultimately recorded it himself, creating one of the most successful collaborations in pop-rock history. The track swept the 2000 Grammy Awards, winning Record of the Year and Song of the Year, while helping Santana earn nine Grammy Awards in a single night, tying the record previously set by Michael Jackson's Thriller.

The president of the United States punched a 13 year old child in the face because she bit his penis while she was being forced to perform oral sex on him.
Donald Trump said to her:
“Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be."
After the little girl bit him with her teeth, “he struck her” and said:
“Get this little bitch the hell out of here.”
The man in charge of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world is a violent child rapist.
DONALD TRUMP IS A VIOLENT CHILD RAPIST.
I want to fucking cry, tens of thousands of innocent people slaughtered without a care in a world, just so that the capitalists can expand their empire further, all on top of the body of a nation that suffered for the last 70 years. You cant hate these people enough.
They shot a 14 year old child.
Then blocked the ambulance reaching him.
Then laughed as they watched him die.
This is what the IOF does every day - murder children with impunity and laugh as they do it.
