Reference: https://www.onthisday.com/events/january/20 … I took some liberties with your list here you “On This Day” folks, apologies.

Google: Find black veils.

Other search engines: Find black veils (Google threatens other search engines with digital black veils and monopolistic digital rain).

Go Duck Go: What are days synonymous with January 20th ?

January 20th … 01-20-Year …  20th day of January … 1st month 20th  day … 1-20 …

Seriously, that’s what you you got? different numerations of dates?! Ok, maybe Google threats have a point, plus you are Go Duck Go for Christ’s sake.

Go Duck Go “Hey! I can’t control the asks! And don’t be a dick!”

Baidu: “We own you and all your stuff! See ya on the Moon M’fr’s” … find black veils for just January 20th … what year? … 2025? … that may be a tough one, almost all sold out.

2025 – Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States of America along with J.D. Vance as Vice President after winning a “mandate” to usher in a new oligarchy, and autocracy, and kleptocracy and numerous other “ocracy’s” that do not start with “Dem” however much winning the election by only 1.5 points can be considered a “mandate.”.

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 3: “Look What They’ve Done To Our Trump”

Now in the process of my posting these tunes of mine, words well worked in anger at the pained obvious, well wrought obvious, words red flagged in an attempt at a head’s up, “Do you see?” things that are my stand up I waver … I flit between serious dread and that the lesser dread that seems just kinda silly, but still dread. I mean it couldn’t be right? This is just another election with a possible reset just another four years off right? in case we get things wrong, a future time to possibly mend mistakes right?

But I know that that is not the case, this is no regular election and there are no Pollyanna thoughts of how this has always worked continuing in a still existent democratic future.

My problem with Trumpers is, though I don’t fault you your opinions, well, Ok, I do, as they ain’t mine and i could never be that easily susceptible to a con, but that they are too often misinformed, wholly misinformed and I don’t understand your need to “own” the other side like it is some sort of childish game, to grab the mantle of Orange grievance like it is your own, as if he were a guy who actually lived a life with you.

He hasn’t, never has, lived that life, he has never been that guy, nor is he heaven messiah sent as he glories to be, he IS the elite he warns you of. You spend so much time and glee on owning the other side that you miss the bigger picture. You become cult and you won’t be able to break away until it’s too late, and there will be a time where that comes.

Look What They’ve Done To Our Trump

Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

Well, fa-scism’s all he can do half right 

And somehow they say that’s wrong Ma

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

.

Look what they say ‘bout his brain Ma

Like using it’s a real strain

They point out that it’s a jumbled mess

All those liars in the press Ma

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

.

He just wants a good country for whites to live in Ma

One where his subjects will all call him … King

If he can rig a vote like ’16 true

All the libs will come to rue

Just what

Just what they’ve said of our Trump

.

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

C’mon everybody NA NA NA with me

Maybe even LA DE DA

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

.

But maybe it’ll work for the right Ma

Maybe Democracy’ll lose this fight Ma

Well his dee-sciples still buy his lies

And threatened violence well that could work out nice

Look what they’ve wrought in our Trump

.

Now this part here’s supposed to be in French Ma

But that wouldn’t be his intent Ma

Because he don’t sing of nothing but the US of A

And English speaking’s gotta be the only say

But he’s OK with fries made a French way

.

Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma Ma Ma

They’ve turned him into such an orange grump Ma

He can’t even win a primary

Without them talking about that Haley

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

.

Hear what they say about our Trump Ma

They say the meanest things about our Trump Ma

They even have the gall to point out his lies

But never give him credit for how hard he tries

To straight face through them all of the time 

.

Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma Ma Ma

Look what they’ve done to our Trump


Well, fa-scism’s all he can do half right 

And somehow they say that’s wrong Ma

But he wins this time there’ll be a new song

And a dark one
