Trump alone gets out the vote that Republicans need. And he alone gets out the vote that Democrats need, too. This is the problem of dictatorship under America's Big Brother. Only his voice seems to matter politically. Fortunately, Trump will be gone soon, constitutionally or actuarially.

U2's song "When I Look at the World" is about having a crisis of faith in the face of tragedy, and it's also interpreted as being about finding meaning and comfort in seeing the world from another's perspective. The lyrics are about the struggle to find meaning.

1/ Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens argued that the Second Amendment, a "relic," had been warped by the NRA and should be replaced with a new amendment or repealed entirely to allow stronger gun control legislation and make schools safer.

I know I'm a senior citizen when I hear clips like this one, when one of the performers' parents weren't even born at the time the other performer (Paul Simon) last performed the song on SNL in 1976 with George Harrison, which I remember viewing live:

The Trump administration's ruling that nursing is not a profession goes hand in glove with their disrespect of the medical profession and science generally.

This clip is a great throwback for anyone who grew up during the 1960s and 1970s as I did. I still have hazy memories of "Turn, Turn, Turn" being mentioned during Sunday School class because it quotes Ecclesiastes. This performance is pure awesomeness, especially Bob Dylan.

Trump mirrors his generation. Two book titles sum up Trump: Less than Zero (Bret Easton Ellis) and A Generation of Swine (Hunter Thompson). Brazen, unflinching amorality and self-indulgence are the essence of his attitudes, behaviors, and speeches and his entire approach to life.
