The Era of Trump?

Only the Trumpster klueless krew would play 'Fortunate Son' by Creedence at a military parade.

If the band played the song Fogerty should get royalties as a writer, but good luck getting money from Trump.
I highly doubt John would have agreed to this.

The “crowd” at Trump’s parade could best be described using Stormy Daniels’s nickname for the birthday boy: Tiny.

All his parade did was succeeding in making our army look weak.

You notice the troops were marching without guns? Those deadly-looking Chinese marching girls all had guns! Was Trump worried about something like what happened to Sadat?

Ominous signs from DJT, left G7 meeting this evening, asked Tehran residents to evacuate and Arab officials are speculating that US may join Israel in bombing Iran. Low risk proposition since Israel is controlling the skies over Iran having neutered their air force.

Was Someone Trolling Trump by Playing Creedence’s Draft-Dodger-Slamming ‘Fortunate Son’ at His Military Parade? Or Is It Just the Further Death of Irony?

Fogerty made it clear enough when he made his statement about Trump’s use of “Fortunate Son” in 2020: “Recently, the president has been using my song ‘Fortunate Son’ for his political rallies, which I find confounding, to say the least. So I thought I’d explain a little bit about what ‘Fortunate Son’ is about.” He explained that he “wrote the song back in 1969 at the height of the Vietnam War. By the time I wrote the song, I already had been drafted and had served in the military, and I’ve been a lifelong supporter of our guys and gals in the military, probably because of that experience, of course. Anyway, back in those days we still had a draft. And something I was very upset about was the fact that people of privilege — in other words, rich people, or people that had position — could use that to avoid the draft and not be taken into the military. I found it very upsetting that such a thing could occur, and that’s why I wrote ‘Fortunate Son.’ That’s really what the whole intent of the song (was).”

And the song is royalty free since they are playing cover versions, not the original.

The versions of “Fortunate Son” and other songs at the parade were cover versions — live or re-recorded — that avoid running afoul of not having procured a license to use the original master recordings. This was the case at the GOP convention last summer, as well, where, at last, no one had to wonder why “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” was being used without permission again, and why.

Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected President? It’s so confusing.
