""We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation's children, end this radical assault and preserve our beloved American way of life," Trump said. He mysteriously described those who would tear down statues of racist leaders from the past as "a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance." "If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted and punished," Trump said. "It's not gonna happen to us," he said to cheers, as he revived his familiar "us versus them" language. "Make no mistake. This left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution." CNN

Like everything else Trump, it's a scam. They don't have an ASCAP license. https://deadline.com/2020/06/d...gs-ascap-1202973371/ | |||

ASCAP has deep pockets. They should sue the creep. The entire Rushmore spectacle was obscene. I can think of no other word for it. It would have played well at Nuremberg (and I'm not typically one to jump onto the Godwin bandwagon). The entire speech was a xenophobic, hate-filled diatribe, meant only for True Believers. | |||

CHAS that's a riot - and brilliant too - although I'd be hard put to say just what it symbolizes. (The way our country has completely turned on its head morally - especially in terms of sexual depravity?) Just one thing, the giant busts of our modern antiheros (need stronger word, but can't come up with one off the bat), are FAR too handsome. I don't like seeing them in portraits they themselves would probably enjoy! By contrast, remembering how poor Winston Churchill was given the opposite treatment in his late life painted portrait. Even speaking as a former portrait artist, I sympathize with him, although ordinarily I wouldn't approve of the model destroying an unbecoming portrait. Especially out of what could be considered vanity - also when the nation paid for it to be painted by someone considered a top-notch portrait artist of the day. (Feh!) It was indeed a travesty, and not just measured by his ego. I think such a painting ought by rights be fluffed up a bit, to make his likeness more heroic, both for history and for him. Sure he was an aging man, but there was plenty of room to memorialize him as both younger and stronger. Such memorabilia has always been "fluffed up" a bit. (I'm glad his wife secretly burned it. (Not sure why the painting was even given to him - thought it was supposed to be hung in a national gallery.) Anyhow, so much for that digression to illustrate my objection to these very flattering monuments to those four beyond-scoundrels of our sad times. I realize it's kind of a political cartoon, but they look WAY too good.
