They had to record their own music to play since being sued by almost all professional musicians

God got it right when God said it was a lame attempt to win over some Fire Fighters, paid for by the RNC, and also it was a tremendous suk up to Trump by his family member Lara, who is enjoying a spot in the shadow of her FIL after Kimberly disappeared from the spot with her criminally charged husband. The “Hero” is obviously referring to Trump himself, the song is a rip-off of the actual good song Hero by Mariah Carey, and not being able to get good professional singers, the cult is looking for something to play at rallies when the the Old guy waddles out. Their biggest mistake was pumping Lara’s lips full of hot air, it must be hard to attempt to sing words with those face balloons!

Yeah, amazingly most people who like the "Some VP" shirt seems to actually READ... so they understand the cute reference to Charlotte's Web.

One things for hot damn sure, the "hero" hasn't been in video pre-production or extended development for more than one hot damn minute! Next, it'll be crosswalk doers, bus drivers, cafe workers, door openers ~ you know the drill. Anybody with feelings, and voice pitch dynamics. Lara sounds as dead as she makes me feel. God help me!!

Forgotten artist Oscar Brown Jr. wrote “The Snake” and Donny used it liberally, despite family outrage.

The song is about him which is why he loves it so much.

I’m good friends with his daughter and she and sis (they’re singers:”TWO BROWN SISTERS” )went on news channels before when he was using it exclusively for campaigning. Last we discussed she said “he’s doing it again … but how do you sue T?” I wish wealthier artists would pull the Browns into a larger royalties suit

dear god,

thy omni-journalism is always appreciated!

thank you for sharing this bounty of information: "Donald has used music without permission from many artists, including Adele, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Queen, R.E.M., Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Pharrell Williams, Tom Petty, Elton John, The Beatles (Estate of George Harrison), Linkin Park, Guns N' Roses, Panic! at the Disco, The Village People, Luciano Pavarotti (Estate), Leonard Cohen (Estate), Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Twisted Sister, Rihanna, Earth, Wind & Fire, The O'Jays, Dexys Midnight Runners, Everlast, Jack White (The White Stripes), Isaac Hayes (Estate), ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, and Axl Rose.

Many of these artists have pushed back and proceeded with legal action. The financial penalty at this point would likely be in the tens of millions."

thank you for all thou do!

much love,

myq

Omg, I thought a cat was hurt in the alley…Lara, that ‘key’ (and I use this word VERY loosely) that you ‘sing’ in doesn’t exist in real music and never will. Yikes!

In addition to the potential illegality (think ‘Cemeterygate’) and the rights infringement issues, the main thing to draw from this rolling campaign disaster is the almost unimaginable level of incompetence that his campaign staff has shown…shades of future cabinet members should this clown win. (Please GOD, NO!!)

Sorry, God, I’m so out of touch. Which of the singers in that video is related to the orange yam? And at least one of the photos showed a police officer I think. It’s all weird.

Trump's problem is a. He doesn't listen to people smarter than he is and b. He thinks the world is his oyster and he can do whatever he wants. I can't wait until it all catches up with him. It’s going to be karma nirvana.

Amen! As far as suing Benedict Donald, good luck with that. He seems to be impervious to law suits. If anyone of us were the object of so many legal actions, you can bet we’d be ceasing and desisting and paying fines. Yet, the Orange Man, doesn’t seem to be held to account. He’s a FELON, running for the highest office in the land, yet has fanatic followers who don’t seem to give a 💩. I can’t understand it!

Susan Snyder's avatar

Even in the few cases where he IS found guilty or at fault, he never has to pay. He’s definitely the “best” at one thing in particular: the appeal. My 3-yr-old nephew will die of old age before trump serves a day in prison.

As far as paying money goes…not a dime will ever come from him. His worshiping, brainwashed cult sends more and more money every time a verdict is issued. He hid documents in his bathroom but he probably hides all his ill-gotten money in the guest rooms’ mattresses.

I hope I live long enough to revel in the writings of respected historians who will dissect every bit of garbage these friggin rejects have contributed to what will be decades long contamination of this country. Exhausting is no longer capturing the essence of this non stop vomiting inducing carnival ride.
