X-The New World

"honest to goodness the bars weren't open this morning
they must have been voting for a new president of something
do you have a quarter?" I said yes because I did
honest to goodness the tears have been falling all over the countrys face
it was better before before they voted for what's his nam, this is supposed to be the new world
flint ford auto mobile alabama windshield wiper buffalo new york gary indiana don't forget the motor city baltimore and d.c. now all we need is don't forget the motor city
this was supposed to be the new world
all we need is money, just give us what you can spare
twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes or twenty of thirty beers
a turkey on thanks giving like alms for the poor
all we need are the necessities and more
it was better before they voted for what his name
this is suppose to be the new world
don't forget the motor city
this was supposed to be the new world"

I went to see X last week in Atlanta. This is just as relevant as it was in the early 80s!

Trump is Being Taken Apart, Step By Step

-snip-

Maybe James Comey shares little more in common with Hoover than former job titles, but he might be able to take down a president while he’s still living, and in broad daylight. For a lot of people, this is an example of a Deep State or an incompetent Establishment carrying out a coup that overrules the verdict the people made at the ballot box. And, it’s true, our clandestine services have been known to orchestrate coups and meddle in elections in other countries. The presumption in these cases is that this meddling is unjustified or even immoral, but I don’t know that people would have felt much differently about Watergate if they knew someone at the top of the FBI was leaking to Woodward and Bernstein. Nixon really had committed crimes and he really was committing more as he tried to cover his tracks. The way to make sure he was removed from office wasn’t to prosecute him. It was to make sure the people knew what he had done.
