I also hope that American artists rise to the occasion. We need music for this movement.

A week or so ago I posted a video from YouTube of "Eve Of Destruction" by Barry McGuire from about 2005. Someone wished it had been updated to include this year's election. Well, here is a new version that was posted in June:
And another from September:
And one from December:

(60,332 posts)"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide."

(5,810 posts)He is rushing things along so fast that no one has a chance to take any delaying action or bring it to anyone's attention until it is done. We just hear an announcement later that such and such order was signed. No, we can't keep up but we can guess what the targets will be and we won't be happy by the end of this week or next.
Hearing the TV shows tonight on MSNBC, the news people are reporting on these moves and the astonishment at the brazenness of the tRump lies is all over the place. Some, like David Corn, are not surprised in the least. But Tweety Bird kept cutting him off as if David was talking out of his head. Someone needs to sit Tweety down and explain slowly and in simple terms that we have a man as head of state who suffers from a personality disorder....Narcissistic Personality Disorder in one of its many flavors. It is a mental disorder and cannot change if he wanted to. There is NOTHING surprising about tRump's behavior at all. It is entirely consistent with what we saw before the election.
The real question is where he found so many people willing to lie for him or try to "explain" why we need to just believe him. They are shameless and have not one ounce of integrity. Yep, Sean and Kelly Anne, I am looking at you. I hope you are being paid well for selling your souls for this awful man. It just kills me to think who we had for the past 8 years and now THIS. I weep at the thought...😱😢😢😢
