If you haven't seen CarpeDonktum's video, check it out on President Trump's Twitter page. It's great!

Everybody Hurts (Trump Tweet)

...And what's with Imam Stipe?

Peter Buck blew up, doesn’t even look like him. Bill Berry bowed out in the 90’s. I have a feeling he might have been the only even keel member politically. Retired to be a Georgia Farmer.

I liked the idea of showing all those sourpuss Dems (with a few RINOs. I didn’t care for the singer’s voice.
But I can still enjoy their anger at being featured.

Yep. Didn't he have a brain aneurism or something? Almost died? Said, "Screw this! I'm a millionaire. I'm gonna go chill out."

Looking at the replay of some of president trump’s statement I felt a great fondness for him.

I think that’s normal under the circumstances

So there

Thanks for this. Very funny! I noticed Romney’s sour puss was included with all the sourpuss Democrats.

Is that a nose ring with the guy on the left? Why the hell does he need one? Just to look cool which shows he blows with the wind and has no values. I can’t even think of a song by them I enjoy. Try and clean your nose with one of those. Does it hurt when your nose runs from a cold? I can only guess a tissue is useless.

President Trump retweeted it. Has Jack ever removed any of President Trump's tweets?

I'm wondering if he had his lawyers cut a quick check to Universal?

President Trump continues to use songs long after musicians have complained about it and asked him to stop. He doesn't care. As long as usage license costs have been paid to the publishing house, it's within his rights.

I was at Bill’s neighbor’s house outside Watkinsville in the late 90’s. He rode up on a 4 wheeler when we were on the back porch. We drank beers way into the night. Totally normal fella.

I think “Michael Stipes Meat Pipe” would have been a better band name for REM

Yah, sure, washed-up haz-beens - they’ll remove it after Trump has tweeted it to 60 million people!

They got their spines and their Orange Crush,

Great song! I actually like R.E.M. Not this song though. Too soft and sappy. I like their guitar-driven songs more. They were a great band back in the day.

I notice Romney’s applause was absolutely tepid.... he looked more constipated than even most of the Demoncraps.
