Big News

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Big News

Unread post by billy.pilgrim »

I watched the news Wednesday - the first time since January 2019 . It was a Tuesday's news show that I had taped because I missed the Monday show and no news on Sunday, so I set up to record Tuesday's News Hour.
It was okay. I will probably watch again. Who knows, I might even watch fox, Rachel, or joe and mika - for a laugh someday - right now, all their lies seem a little raw.

No more big news.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

I watch the local news, and the national news except for the Trump- and Trump-related parts, which I treat as an annoying ad and mute. Or, if Lady O wants to watch the entire thing, I go do something else or turn up the earbuds with music. No way am I going to watch Trump spout his lies, or Trumpers spout them on his behalf, or news people talking as if Trump's words actually mean anything.

I'm on my way, I'm making it
I've got to make it show, yeah
So much larger than life
I'm going to watch it growing

The place where I come from is a small town
They think so small
They use small words
But not me
I'm smarter than that
I worked it out
I've been stretching my mouth
To let those big words come right out

I;ve had enough, I'm getting out
To the city, the big, big city
I'll be a big noise with all the big boys
There's so much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god
As I kneel in the big church

Big time - I'm on my way, I'm making it
Big time, big time
I've got to make it show, yeah
Big time, big time
So much larger than life
Big time
I'm going to watch it growing
Big time

My parties all have big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
And always they're amazed
When I show them round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door.

Big Time - Peter Gabriel

I should mention that when reading the song lyrics for "Big Time" you need to read "trump" for "big" and it works better.
