How the Eagles predicted Donald Trump

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here,
of our own device"
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast ...

Good to see you...

But, with all due deference to "the Dude", I still love the Eagles and not only because they were so prescient...

So sad when Frey died. So glad I got to see them 3 years ago at NO Jazz Fest. They were totally awesome, only Frey didn't seem spry and in good voice.

I know Hil supporters think things will calm down when she gets a few more states in the bag, but Bernie is buffering her against Trump now.

Cat's foot, iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
21st century schizoid man

And to think - Herr Drumpf is probably better than Canadian Cruz?
