Death Cab For Cutie - "Million Dollar Loan"
He's proud to say"
He built his fortune the old fashioned way
Because to succeed
There's only one thing you really need
A million dollar loan
...
Call your father on the phone
and get that million dollar loan
"Lyrically, Million Dollar Loan deals with a particularly tone deaf moment in Donald Trump's ascent to the Republican nomination. While campaigning in New Hampshire last year, he attempted to cast himself as a self-made man by claiming he built his fortune with just a small loan of a million dollars from his father. Not only has this statement been proven to be wildly untrue, he was so flippant about it. It truly disgusted me. Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unworthy of the honor and responsibility of being President of the United States of America, and in no way, shape or form represents what this country truly stands for. He is beneath us." - Ben Gibbard

Aimee Mann - "Can't You Tell?"
Isn't anybody going to stop me
I don't want this job
I can't do this job
My God
Can't you tell
I'm unwell
"I wanted to write about Trump in the first person because I think it's more interesting to speculate on what peoples inner life might be. I had heard a theory that Trumps interest in running for President was really kicked off at the 2011 White House Correspondents dinner when President Obama basically roasted him, so thats where I started. And my own feeling was that it wasnt really the job itself he wanted, but the thrill of running and winning, and that maybe it had all gotten out of hand and was a runaway train that he couldnt stop." - Aimee Mann

I'm strangely moved by this coming together of people who disagree about many things, now fighting to preserve the idea of govt as a vehicle for the common good.
Lovely.

Bob Schieffer grills Trump surrogate (In case you've never witnessed actual journalism)

Won't happen, of course, but wow. I've never seen anything like this. Each piece of this unfolding drama is jaw dropping.
Star Tribune: Donald Trump must leave the race
His abusive views toward women disqualify him.
By Editorial Board Star Tribune
The news Friday of presidential candidate Donald Trumps vulgar view of women and his conceivably criminal activity toward them wasnt an October surprise, because it wasnt a surprise. This is the real Donald Trump, as evidenced repeatedly during 16 months of attacks on Hispanics, Muslims, women, the disabled, women again, veterans, and women some more.
For the sake of the Republican Party and the nation for gods sake enough. Enough altogether. Trump should immediately relinquish his nomination and allow, for a short month at least, the country to have a campaign thats closer to representing its legitimate interests and actual divisions.
No nation should toy with electing a leader who beholds more than half of its population with disrespect. No party should be represented by a candidate whose ersatz positions bear such little coherence with its own. And no one should countenance a man who declares that, because hes a star, he can prey on women, regardless of their consent, and speak of grabbing them by the genitalia.
