Today Tom Steyer started running his new Impeach Trump minute-long TV ad. It's good one, based on Putin-Gate. He debuted it at the California Democratic Convention in San Diego yesterday. Guess what... people loved it. "We need to stand for our principles," he said on the convention floor, "that means confronting the man who has no principles: Donald Trump." You know who agrees? Eminem... who was interviewed by Elton John in the new issue of Interview magazine.

This afternoon, NPR had a special guest: Eminem. NPR isn't a rap station but Eminem's new album, Revival, is socially significant enough for NPR to just just interview him but to promote the interview all day Friday.

I haven't heard much new from Eminem lately... 'til last night. He just released a new rap, above, "The Storm," on the BET Hip Hop Awards show, proving that not every songwriter in Michigan is the stinking pile of crap Kid Rock has become. And you know what? His analysis of what Trump has been up to is spot on. "Racism is the only thing he's fantastic for (4), cause that's how he gets his rock off; he's orange." Give it a listen; it works. Eminem has been paying very close attention. In fact, why don't you read the lyrics:

In January 2013 every Democrat-- but far right Tennessee Blue Dog Jim Cooper-- joined 49 Republicans to pass aid for the New York and New Jersey victims of Hurricane Sandy.

Selling ads, complicit cinema and pop opportunism + this day in history w/the Guggenheim and our song of the day by the Flaming Lips on your Morning Monarchy for October 21, 2016.

The DCCC video above, narrated by the great John Lewis, tries to associate all the great achievements accomplished by progressives with the broken down den of corruption and corporate prostitution that the Democratic Party has degenerated into. Steve Israel unveiled it at the caucus retreat last week.
