Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It

This has been going through my head the last few weeks.......



Edited to Add: Before someone takes me to task for recommending a song that tRump used, please note this from Wikipedia:

In the summer of 2015, the song was adopted as the theme song for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. The song is played after all his campaign appearances where it is known unofficially as the Trump fight song.[9] Newsweek reports Dee Snider of Twisted Sister gave Trump permission to use the song.[10] Snider later changed his mind saying that he had only allowed Trump to use the songs because the two were friends, but then respectfully asked Trump to stop using the song as he did not agree with many of Trump's stances. Snider did not want people to get the impression that he was endorsing Trump or his campaign.[11]

The line, 'you're all worthless and weak' reminds me of ll those tRump voters whose eyes remain firmly closed.

I did not know that Snider told il douche to stop using it
TS is kind of an interesting group in that most of the members have hated each other for years -- even at their height I remember reading about how they didn't really get along and seldom did even in their start

Apparently The Associated Press has had enough of the rumpian liars. It is worth reading the entire article. I am giving just a flavour of their outrage. The song going through my head for years now is below the AP material.

https://www.apnews.com/c4f583c4d37d4af3abff25d345adfc44/AP-Fact-Check:-How-did-Trump-statements-measure-up?

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a week of sound and fury from President Donald Trump, the commander in tweets. A look at how some of his statements fit with the facts:

TRUMP made an unsupported assertion Monday that terrorist acts in Europe are going unreported: "All over Europe it's happening. It's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported. And in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that."

THE FACTS: Trump and his team cited one example of a deadly terrorist attack going unreported: the one that didn't happen in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Adviser Kellyanne Conway spoke a week earlier about a Bowling Green "massacre" that didn't take place, correcting herself when she was called out on the error.

As for Trump's claim about Europe, it's probably true that you haven't heard of every attack on the continent that can be tied to terrorism. Scores if not hundreds happen every year. Many don't rise to the level of an international audience because they cause no casualties, or little or no property damage, or are carried out by unknown assailants for unclear reasons.

One exhaustive list is the Global Terrorism Database, maintained by the University of Maryland. It lists 321 episodes of suspected or known terrorism in Western Europe alone in 2015. Many are anti-Muslim attacks against mosques, not the brand of terrorism Trump has expressed concern about. Many are attacks undertaken for right-wing or left-wing causes that have nothing to do with Islamic extremism or xenophobic attacks on mosques......snip
