#891. Learning To Lie

From a political perspective, the big lie basically translates into "anything and everything... means nothing."  Assume credit for all perceived accomplishments.  Blame others for any perceived failures. Particularly your own.

It's not rocket science.  The objective is to simply numb observers into oblivion.  Politics is supposed to be nuanced and complex.  So just phrase every issue and every politician as either good or bad.

Until Trump came along, most pundits assumed that such a simplistic, infantile political strategy was preposterous and doomed to fail.  That the people had higher expectations of their politicians across the board. 

Little did the experts take into account the pure gullibility and sheer stupidity of a significant swath of the American public.  Hey, let's be honest.  Half the country voted for an Orange Prolapse who didn't know the difference between "president" and "precedent."



Needless to say, that sets a pretty bad precedent.

 


Learning to Lie
sonofsaf

Well, there is no doubt Trump shot his load
Cuming out of his small bone
An Orange Prolapse clown not much of a thrill
And he’s so fucked up, such a bitter pill

He’s learning to lie ‘bout stealing some things
Trump’s a clown had a Stormy fling

Well, the many ways to trash and burn
Cyber Ninjas helped and Anthony Kern

He’s learning to lie (Learning to lie)
‘Bout stealing some things (Learning to lie)
Trump’s a clown (Learning to lie)
Had a Stormy fling (Learning to lie)

Well, he’s got a wife she’s not as round
A la carte, drink and drown
There can be no doubt we’re all scared
Part of the show chump with orange hair

He’s learning to lie make ‘dem boys proud
You know whazzup (Learning to lie)
Trump’s a clown

He’s learning to lie (Learning to lie)
‘Bout stealing some things
Trump’s a clown had a Stormy fling
He’s learning to lie (Learning to lie)
Make ‘dem boys proud
You know whazzup (Learning to lie)
Trump’s a clown
He’s learning to lie (Learning to lie, learning to lie)
He’s learning to lie (Learning to lie, learning to lie)
(Learning to lie, learning to lie)

 

Learning To Fly
Tom Petty

Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings (Learning to fly)
Coming down (Learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing (Learning to fly)

Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down

I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
Around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
(Learning to fly, learning to fly)



Favorite Tom Petty songs?  Too many to mention.  Just off the top of my head and in no particular order... Runnin' Down A Dream, American Girl, Don't Come Around Here No More, Jammin' Me, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (w/ Stevie Nicks), Face In The Crowd, Listen To Her Heart, Into The Great Wide Open.

Least favorites?  Free Fallin', I Won't Back Down, Mary Jane's Last Dance.  What do these songs have in common?  All of them are way overplayed.
