Simpler explanation? It’s that he’s stupid, isn’t it. I knew it.

He is not that stupid. This point of view and lies will be amplified through social networks and even pensionists in Idaho will support him… It is happening here in Brazil since 2018…

I feel her anger. I found it interesting that she began by singing the national anthem, or part of it, and highlighting that it is a song that celebrates violence. She’s, of course, not the first person to make note of that. The most famous rendition that highlights the violence of the song was Jimi Hendrix’s instrumental version at Woodstock. And it always amazes me how that seems to go over most people’s heads.

You know… I’d never considered that… But I can see that… Also, Laibach’s America from their Volk album (where they do national anthems)…

Sing along in your head and make note of what happens when Hendrix reaches the lines “and the rockets red glare” and “the bombs bursting in air”.

Mojo Nixon, one of whose last songs was “Donald Trump Can Suck My Dick”. To me, this is the way it should be played, not sang by some singer who’s trained to hit that damned fucking high note.
I don’t know how well this has aged…
This one has aged well, even w/the Bush ref. because hey, how do we know Dubya didn’t do acid?

That’s overkill. See if there’s a page available- or a crossing guard.

It’s definitely violent, but originally the rockets and bombs were supposed to be horrible things – bombardment by the British that the fort in question withstood. It’s like Men of Harlech, a poem about refusing to yield. I wonder how many people still think of them that way, versus assuming the missiles are on their side?

Big deal. Trump and his criminal cabal already got their cash out. Now its the latecomers who are losing everything.
