Yeah, that is T-Rump incarnate.

Most rich pricks are bad; but not as bad as Trump.

At some point, Donald just could not figure 'it' out.

He just thought that non-disclosure agreements would permit him to go on lying forever without being caught?

Anyway, Zappa rocks..

Well NCD, it is getting worse

Well NCD, it is getting worse. All politicians lie of course.

But damn, it takes about five minutes of Google to find audio and video EVIDENCE pointing out that T-Rump is just a liar.

But I think you refer to the 'stable GOP' (as if there were a stable GOP).

Obama lost the Iraq war?

Our unemployment situation is worse than the figures we find in 2008?

Barack hates America?

Workers' wages are worse than the wages in 2008?

OH THAT'S ENOUGH!

That's just O'Reilly thinking

That's just O'Reilly thinking he is an historian again. hahahah

I was watching CSPAN? and the verdict from historians of the period note that slaves and their kind might have had nice vittles but they all were housed in a barn. hahhaahh

And I would guess that the vittles did not include fries or hamburgers or steaks or.....

Billo is really something sometimes.

Hey Hey... "existential?"

This was just one man's view... And what a view it was...

Oh and at 2:10 Frank even refers to the Trump-types of the world.

NOTE: I was signed to Zappa's publishing company "Third Story Music" in 1967.

Edited 7/31 9:08pm PT: Just to see if Dick and come back?

The wingnuts had to say that slaves were well-fed and had comfortable government housing when the slaves built the White House. Wingnuts deny climate science. Orwell predicted our situation.

In reply to How do we know what we know?

Republicans have now become a totalitarian ideology, as Orwell described that in 1946, The Prevention of Literature:

From the totalitarian point of view history is something to be created rather than learned. A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible. But since, in practice, no one is infallible, it is frequently necessary to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that mistake was not made,

This kind of thing happens everywhere, but is clearly likelier to lead to outright falsification in societies where only one opinion is permissible at any given moment. Totalitarianism demands, in fact, the continuous alteration of the past, and in the long run probably demands a disbelief in the very existence of objective truth.

it often gives me the feeling that the very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world.

Jeepers. You really know
