3. How did amazing grace get to be the go-to song

for firefighters and police? And now it’s being co-opted by right-wing politicians?

I’ve come to hate the song based on its new associations: if anyone tries to play it at my funeral I will personally haunt them

Fuck him amd his supporters. They aren’t taking that song, or the various patriotic symbols they try to appropriate for their fascist purposes.

They ruined the American flag for me. Never fly it anymore.

I still love “Amazing Grace.” I hope the right-wingers don’t ruin it for me.

I want it played on bagpipes for my funeral. The definitive rendition was used in “Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan”, and “L.A. Story.”

May you reclaim it from those bastards…

He wasn't in uniform. Not wearing a too-long asshole red tie.

And who is the guy next to him in the white shirt? He kind of looks like Richard Childress, a NASCAR team owner, but I can't tell.

...biggest (bigly-est?) negative: he never served. Even worse, he's a documented draft-dodger. (Furthermore, he's on record in an interview discussing how VD was his "personal Vietnam" ).

@BMeiselas
SO EMBARRASSING!

Trump caught staging ANOTHER scam to try to make up for getting booed last night. He’s seen waving aimlessly, staging a fake moment that his editors will likely cut together later to give the appearance that a large crowd cheered for him.

He’s just walking around saluting everything today. He salutes during Amazing Grace. He’s saluting people. Saluting airplanes.
