Did this happen to anyone else?

I was happily watching the Inauguration on You Tube, and listening to Biden's speech to the nation. Then, I had a fight with my cat, and suddenly PBS switched to that Rat Trump, broadcasting HIS farewell speech, I guess to his family. I listened to the YMCA song (I took it as a joke) and Tiny Dancer, and My Way (did Elton John and Paul Anka really give their permission for Trump to use their work?)

WTF? I know that some watchers might still be interested in what tRump is doing, and it's not all about me, but I was really enjoying Biden. I regard it as a last FU tRump gave the nation, and PBS fell for it.

Or, my cat screwed it up.

which I rely on for free TV. I cannot receive any others. So, I watch stuff on You Tube. I have not watched Fox in years.

Then on Wiki I learned that he wrote the lyrics to My Way.

Only 7am and I've already learned something today. Thanks. 🙂

Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper just laughed. Take a look. Trump did a lot of damage, but he will still always also be a joke.

I like that song. I love it when people do the letters. Maybe he will be living at the "Y" one day -- maybe Melania will take anything left. But, I think he has stashed millions, if not billions.

We went from listening to a Statesman's patriotic speech to the Klown Kar.

But that was covering the original lyrics and recording by Paul Anka. It was his work.

He backed out of Trump’s Inaugural. Maybe Trump never forgave him. Trump is a mob boss who never forgets. He’s probably made that Nancy Sinatra said her father hated him. It’s all revenge.
