Here’s a bit of (rude) fun to mark Donald’s birthday, with thanks to two people on social media who recommended the song to us, and we were amused. It’s derived from the Frozen movie and originally titled “Fixer Upper” (and sung by cute trolls, about a hoped-for marriage). Since it may be a niche reference unless you have kids/grandkids or are pretty young yourself, you can find the original here: • Maia Wilson, Cast of Frozen – Fixer Upper … .
In case this critique of Trump and his administration’s actions be conflated, this is also a chance to wish the US Army and all its veterans a happy 250th birthday! We couldn’t fit the graphic into the full-on montage, but found this cautionary phrase telling from the first Commander-in-Chief, George Washington, in his 1796 Farewell Address:
“ … disorders and miseries gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.”
