Kind of a petty complaint -- but tfg is still using Village People's "YMCA" at his rallies, despite calls to stop doing [View all]

so by the band's manager. Has he never been legally enjoined from doing so ?? He got in trouble back in May for having VP imitators perform "Macho Man" at MaL. (Extra barf quality for trying to imply this cowardly bully is "macho".)

And why is he playing music by militantly gay musicians for ultra-reichwing audiences ?
