tRump daughter uses Beatles song without permission, everyone stands for her as she walks on stage.

It's getting more creepy as time goes on.

"Everyone stood for her as she walked onto the stage to The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun." Some in the audience wore masks, but most sat close together in chairs that were not more than one or two feet apart."

WH Barbie, the advisor with no credentials except nepotism is becoming an object of idol worship.
Here Comes the Sun? Really?

2. What a creepshow.

This is getting freakish.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

9. Sure is.

It gets worse as time goes on.

[soothsayer]

3. Guess there's no "here comes the daughter"

I really don’t like these people

[NoRoadUntravelled]

10. I don't like them either.

Everything is for show.

4. There was a time in the US when such pageantry would be met with a torrent of...

projectile vomiting.

Now? There are no words...

[NoRoadUntravelled]

11. It's as though some people are longing for someone to worship.

Creeps me out.

5. If the venue pays ASCAP/BMI license fee you do not need permission. nt

[Raster]

6. wonder if the trump campaign paid the bill for the venue...

...they owe money all over the US to cities for venues, security, traffic control, etc.

[USALiberal]

7. The venue pays it, but no idea if Trump pays the venue. nt

[Raster]

8. tRump*s campaign do not pay their bills...

... and yes, I get the point that the venue may pay the licensing fee(s).

12. They take what they want.

They embody the meaning of entitlement.

[unblock]

13. You don't *legally* need permission. However,

Ethically, they're implying an endorsement from the artists, so there's some deception going on here.

And politically, it runs the risk that the media will give some airtime to the artists for them to say they don't endorse that candidate or that they explicitly endorse the other candidate.

This is why good campaigns, stick with songs they got the artists' permission to use. But republicans always figure the rules don't apply to them.

[USALiberal]

14. I 100% agree! You nailed it with "good campaigns"! nt

[Raster]

15. It would appear this song and tRump*s use has come up before...

... Spoiler Alert: The family of George Harrison is not amused.

16. at this point there's a long list of artists he's pissed off.

like i said, republicans don't care. they'll use whatever song they like and dismiss the artist who balks.

it goes back to ronnie using "born in the usa" over the boss's objections....

[Raster]

17. yes, which was kind of oxymoron-ish...

... Because "Born in the USA" was certainly not a "pro-USA" kind of song. But then again we are talking Raygun*... emphasis on "moron."

[TheRealNorth]

18. If anything is apparent in the past 30 years...

Comprehension and logic are not a strong suit of the average Republican voter. Just scream U.S.A!, fly some flags, and play a good song and they react like Pavlov's dog.

[Raster]

20. No shit!!!

The stupid is strong with the GOP*!

[not_the_one]

19. YOKO, PAUL and RINGO should chime in and give us THEIR feelings on the matter...

[SharonAnn]

21. I wondered what weird unprofessional outfit she would wear for this event. Always inappropriate.

[Initech]

22. What? Helter Skelter wasn't an option?

The MAGA cult is getting almost Charles Manson levels of creepy.
