Mangy comments on the Youtube page:
Mangy Fetlocks is a proud Wisconsinite, and although he wasn’t REALLY asked to write the official Republican National Convention Song, he learned from Trump that it’s not what you do, but what you SAY you do that matters in our post-truth MAGA America, and Mangy SAYS he wrote the National Convention Song and Mangy has been an official in a children’s soccer game once, so his claim is just as honest as Trump’s pussy-grabbing statements or his “I never took any documents” claims.

Der Spiegel talks with Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe about the Supreme Supremacist Court’s recent decision granting Donald Trump “presidential immunity” for “official acts.” Professor Tribe finds the decision to be–er–of questionable legitimacy.
It is a timely and disturbing read. Here’s a tiny bit of it (emphasis in the original):
Tribe: My colleagues in the government department are exactly right. It is a dangerous phenomenon. Minorities are entitled to protection in every respect. But no minority should be able to run roughshod over the majority. After all, it is not a minority of the oppressed that has gained such power in our system. It is the minority of those with the greatest wealth and the best connections. And they are now running the show in a way that is very dangerous to our democracy.
