It's "Fall on Me." But thank you for making a solid point. Two of them, actually. It most certainly is NOT "Shiny Happy People."

Tussle? I'm one of his biggest fans. Now on the other hand, I *WILL* tussle over how your profession is failing us in the age of Trump. The fourth estate, like so many other institutions, has not only not only failed to meet this moment, but has cowered alongside the others.

Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.
