These Days: Friday, January 27th, 2017
Television: The ABC News interview exclusive with POTUS was a study in why Trump is just wrong for the job. He is just not Presidential, especially when concluding there has been massive voter fraud at the previous election.The phenomenal irresponsibility of Trump’s claim, and his claim, essentially that’s what I think and I’m gonna look into it, is terrifying. Why is he doing it? Because if he can claim the American public are behind him 100%, then he can equally claim he doesn’t need permission or oversight for his actions.
POTUS: It’s like we’re stuck in that alternative reality where Biff rules and there’s no DeLorean to get us out
Trump To NYC: Get Lost. Look, if you are an illegal alien and commited murder, GBH, child molestation -you know, the biggies, you should do your time and be deported. If you have done the time and back among the populace, you should be left alone. The Feds have every reason to want serious criminal illegals deported, but the nyc, the US and the world would be outraged by the sight of police busting into peoples homes, rounding people up, and sticking em in camps before they are deported. As for DC’s $6B? we will have to muddle by somehow and start by removing all police from trump Tower… Of course, he will have to change the law before he can punish his wife and son…. both of whom live here.
New Music: Still early on Friday morning but so far so bad: from Train to Brantley Gilbert to Migos, this is pretty rotten stuff.
Old Music: I made a Marshall Crenshaw playlist, here it is.
Suicide: Butch Trucks put a bullet through his brains, in front of his wife. Apparently the world was foreclosing on him.
Death: Adam Ants guitarist and bandleader Tom Edwards, dead at 41.
The Media: Steve Bannon is enjoying the life, isn’t it. Yesterday Trump’s chief political strategist said “The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.” This administration are the worst winners ever. “I want you to quote this,” Mr. Bannon added. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”
