Trump playing a tune that has been a bit of a gay anthem while doing a dance that has been described as, well, how do I say this…pleasuring two male genitalia at the same time is an interesting choice. I think he’s just punking all of us.

Naw, Trump’s just gotta be a macho, macho man.

In his own confused brain, at least.

A macho, macho man that’s into two other macho men at the same time. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Unless you are MAGA.

A religious song in German, with lyrics

The hour of our death”

Wait, it’s he suggesting the supporters who collapsed are dying?

It’s two **giraffes** , per Dave Bautista on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Be sure to watch the whole bit, it’s the macho version of a Randy Rainbow takedown.

I know, exactly what I thought. What a stupid song to play (twice, in two different versions) in response to his supporters fainting. I’m surprised he didn’t follow up with ‘Danny Boy’ or maybe ‘Seasons in the Sun’ followed up with ‘Taps’.

Hopefully the song becomes a metaphor for the death of his reelection hopes 🤞

Is Ave Maria usually associated with Catholic rites or do all Christian denominations revere it? I really can’t fathom why he would play it (twice! as mentioned by @solost) at a political function. He doesn’t do anything without ulterior motive so I wonder who he thought was going to respond positively to it. I’ve only heard it live at an overly long wedding and a funeral. Not being of the Christian faith, I’m pretty ignorant of these things. No offense intended.

some times the words are different.

orthodox has:

Theotokos Virgin, rejoice, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with You. Blessed are You among women, and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, for You have borne the Savior of our souls.

catholic has:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.  
Blessed are you among women,  
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.  
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,  
now and at the hour of our death.  
Amen

the text is taken from luke, greetings from gabriel and elizabeth. the catholic church added a line.

“I’m going to make these people stand here and listen to one of my favorite songs” is motive enough when it comes to Trump. So is “I don’t want to answer any more questions; I’m just going to listen to music I like.”

No real need to dig deep here.

I don’t know why everyone is complaining about Trump quietly swaying to music for 39 minutes. It’s the smartest he’s ever sounded.

And think about all the people who paid to go hear Trump’s greatest political hits, to instead be treated to silence.

One time some years ago I went to a Star Trek convention (well, a commercial rake in your money event) where Leonard Nimoy was billed to speak. Now I know he was ancient and had been doing these for decades, so the whole Spock thing had to be wearing thin, but my sister and I had never had the opportunity to see him. So we were excited.

Until he got up on stage to share his latest project, a video of him acting old radio programs. Yes, he was there, but the segment was video of these radio scripts, complete with the product placement. And they weren’t parodies - I’ve participated in that kind of thing.

It wasn’t just an encerpt. We sat through over a half hour, having already hung around the place through some other shenanigans, before we have up and left. That left me very irritated at the time and money spent. Especially since I’ve been to real fan conventions.

Anyway, I have to think a lot of people are feeling that way right now.

My WAG would be that the number of Trump fans who _feel_ that way is several orders of magnitude higher than the number who will tell themselves or others that.

Cult.

Kamala should be there like almost every other Presidential Candidate in their History, except Walter Mondale, who lost 49-1. They didn’t give me the option of a video message, nor would I have done it. This is very disrespectful to everyone involved. She should be here, or lose the Catholic Vote!

I know everything coming from him is bullshit but it is amazing how many different ways he can come up with to “disqualify” her. Especially since he is the record holder for doing things that should legitimately disqualify him.

> [@](#):

> Why won’t 60 Minutes release the fraudulent tapes of Lyin’ Kamala’s Interview with them? Could it be because it was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, or that they “CREATED” many additional new answers for her, not just the one where she was so embarrassingly CAUGHT. In normal times, what happened on 60 Minutes, (deceptively “doctoring” her answers), would be THE END OF ANYONE’S CAMPAIGN! Kamala is slow, incoherent, and is in no way qualified to be President of the United States. RELEASE THE TAPES FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA. We can do it the nice way, or the hard way!

“We can do it the nice way, or the hard way!” What the hell does that mean?

I’m sure Trump means that when he’s president, he’ll order the entire production crew of 60 minutes to be sentenced to death.

He can even record the executions and play “Ave Maria” over the edit.

(When I hear Ave Maria the first thing I think of isn’t the religious associations. It’s the ending scene from The Godfather. And the movie is old enough I think Trump might get the reference.)

I think of the same thing, and I was half expecting Trump to recoil and flee as the music played.

When this came up the other day on Sirius while I was driving I had the same thought. Could it be more apropos his nibs? I mean, just to put up one stanza,

_Some folks are born silver spoon in hand_  
_Lord, don’t they help themselves, Lord?_  
_But when the taxman come to the door_  
_Lord, the house lookin’ like a rummage sale, yeah_

but all three are on the money.
