how's Taylor Rehmet for impressive? looking at you, kick

I know, right!?

They cannot blame being outspent by Democrats on this one either... nope. Donald Trump endorsed Rehmet's opponent multiple times, including again on election day, and then after the 31-point swing the dotard immediately conveniently feigns ignorance regarding the entire race and claims, quote: "I'm not involved in that."

Hysterical.

This.

It seems to have worked fairly well on the cable news channels. Don Lemon was arrested to distract from Epstein, Minneapolis, health insurance premiums and some embarrassing movie.

Nobody should believe that lie. Everything they say should be considered a lie until proven otherwise. Everything.

It's not surprising since both were inspired by awful events. I love that he wrote it on Saturday, recorded it and released it. He didn't spend forever polishing it. It's rough and raw and it sounds like the E St Band, not Pete Seeger or Nebraska. I bought my first Springsteen album in 1975. I'm proud to still call myself his fan.
