Donald Trump has been widely mocked after playing Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s ‘Fortunate Son’ when arriving at a campaign rally in Michigan. (“Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand”)The 1969 track was released at the height of the Vietnam war and offers a scathing take on military deferments and the safe positions that were offered to well-connected individuals at a time when millions of Americans were being drafted to the front line.Singer John Fogerty previously said of the track: “The song speaks more to the unfairness of class than war itself. It’s the old saying about rich men making war and poor men having to fight them.”https://www.nme.com/news/music/donald-trump-mocked-for-absolute-irony-of-playing-fortunate-son-at-rally-2750668

2020-21 NFL Discussion Thread
No, not the football we normally watch but it was great to watch football again. The Chiefs did look mighty fine and their rookie running back gives them another weapon. I trust Buck was watching the game because there were a few innovative plays they used that we could incorporate into out offence.

It’s not always easy to see the whole picture when Trump is involved and believability is always an issue with him, but I suspect this professional (Woodward) would do his fact checking first, and get all his information in line before he drops this huge bombshell on America. Trump doesn’t even realize..

Site Update
I was going to try and draw up an example, but in this thread the box is as big as it was before, and the font size is now left corner, 2nd row. The strike through the words is the S with the line through it, plus other features. I just looked at another thread and these features are not available yet, at least not on my IPad. This whole thread is like it was before, but it’s not like that on the other threads. Did this occur when you started the only new thread or ?.?? Id start a new thread to see what it looks like, but I hesitate... Edit - these only show up in responding in a thread of course. And I just noticed, it’s the same when editing, ie, only showing half the choices up top.

Yes, his answers were very lame and weak. A deadhead. Someone I wouldn’t want representing me in the WH.

Site Update
As usual..good looking site. Now, to wonder if the other headers will still be available, such as font size and the ‘line through words’ feature etc. There’s definitely less space, about a third, the same size as the width of the twitter feed and recent posts.

Let’s see if Trump’s dummies can figure out this new revelation. No, you’re right, can’t see it. But this is the kind of proverbial straw that should break the camel’s back. Unfortunately, this is Trump’s humps that cannot be broken...for all the wrong reasons. How many horrific acts will it take for someone to take him down?- US Politics
