I'm a loser I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the votes I have won or have lost There is one vote I should
never have crossed She was a girl in a million, my friend I should have
known she would win in the end
I'm a loser And I lost to someone who's better than me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown Beneath this mask I am
wearing a frown My tears are falling like rain from the sky Is it for
her or myself that I cry?
I'm a loser And I lost to someone who's better than me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate? I realize I have left it too
late And so it's true, pride comes before a fall I'm telling you so
that you won't lose all
I'm a loser And I lost to someone who's better than me I'm a loser And I'm not what I appear to be

I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

John Lennon said in an interview in 1980 about this song, "Me in my Dylan period. Part of me suspects I'm a loser and part of me thinks I'm God Almighty."
Paul McCartney said, "We used to listen to quite a lot of country and
western songs and they are all about sadness and 'I lost my truck' so
it was quite acceptable to sing 'I'm a loser'."
This song was performed twice before the release: on BBC Radio and for a
British edition of US music TV show "Shindig!" that was broadcasted in
the USA, but not in Britain.
Come here sister, donny's in the swing
He ain't too hip, about that new breed babe
He's really a big drag
donny's got a brand new bag
Come here mama, and dig this crazy scene
He's really fancy, but his line is never clean
He's really a big drag
donny's got a brand new bag
He's really a Jerk,
He likes to Fly
Don't play him cheap 'cause you know he ain't shy
He looks like a Monkey, he's a Masher too,
Jump back Jack, Skip to my loo.
Come here sister
donny's in the swing
He ain't too hip now
But he can dig that new breed babe;
He's really a big drag
donny's got a brand new bag

One year ago today, a jury of 12 New Yorkers convicted Donald Trump for falsifying business records as part of an alleged hush money scheme to influence the 2016 election.
The
conviction left an indelible mark on Trump -- making him the first
president or former president to be found guilty of a crime -- and his
fight to erase that legacy continues to this day.
On June 11, a federal appeals court in Manhattan is set to hear oral arguments in the president's renewed legal fight to move his criminal case from state to federal court.
Manhattan
District Attorney Alvin Bragg opposes the move -- arguing that a case
can't be removed to federal court after conviction -- but Trump's
lawyers have argued the "unprecedented criminal prosecution of a former
and current president of the United States belongs in federal court."
Trump was found guilty
on 34 felony counts after prosecutors alleged that he engaged in a
"scheme" to boost his chances during the 2016 presidential election
through a series of hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy
Daniels and the falsification of New York business records to cover up
that alleged criminal conduct.
"I
did my job, and we did our job," Bragg said following Trump's
conviction. "There are many voices out there, but the only voice that
matters is the voice of the jury, and the jury has spoken."
Ten days before Trump was sworn in as president last November, New York Judge Juan Merchan sentenced him to an unconditional discharge
-- without prison, fines or probation -- saying it was the "only lawful
sentence" to prevent "encroaching upon the highest office in the land."

"I
won the election in a massive landslide, and the people of this country
understand what's gone on. This has been a weaponization of
government," Trump told the court during his sentencing.
Trump
continues to vehemently deny any wrongdoing, and his lawyers have
argued that his conviction relied on evidence and testimony that related
to his official acts as president, including social media posts from
his official Twitter account as president and testimony from his former
communications director Hope Hicks.
The trial took place one month before the Supreme Court delivered a landmark ruling
expanding the scope of presidential immunity, and Trump's lawyers have
argued that the evidence would have not been permitted based on the high
court's ruling.
Trump's
lawyers attempted to use that argument to throw out the case before
Trump's January sentencing, but the argument was rejected by Judge Juan
Merchan, two New York appeals courts, and the Supreme Court.
"The
alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump's state-court
trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal," the Supreme
Court said in a brief unsigned opinion, though four justices said they
would have granted Trump's application.
For
Trump's criminal defense, he relied on then-defense attorneys Todd
Blanche and Emil Bove, who now serve as the deputy attorney general and
principal associate deputy attorney general. Earlier this week, Trump
announced that he plans to nominate Bove -- who led a purge of career
law enforcement officials before the Senate confirmed his nomination to
help run the DOJ -- to the United States Court of Appeals for the 3rd
Circuit.
With
his former defense attorneys now working for the government, Trump
earlier this year tapped the elite Manhattan law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell to handle his criminal appeal.
Lawyers
with the Department of Justice also filed an amicus brief in the case
this week to argue that the case should be heard -- and thrown out -- by
a federal court because the jury's conviction relied on evidence that
was covered by presidential immunity.
"That
President Trump's defense in fact takes the form of a new
constitutional immunity announced by the Supreme Court after his trial
ended, rather than a new statute enacted by Congress, should if anything
cut in the President's favor," lawyers with the Department of Justice
argued in a brief submitted on Tuesday.
The appeal -- as well as the ongoing appeal of Trump's $83 million judgment in the E. Jean Carroll civil case and half-billion-dollar civil fraud case
-- is proceeding on uncharted legal grounds as Trump wields the power
of the presidency in his defense. He has characterized the prosecutors
who pursued the cases against him as politically motivated, and has
touted his electoral victory last November as a political acquittal.
"The
real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people," Trump told reporters
as he left court following his conviction last year. "And they know
what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here."
trumpety dumpty will build a great wall like all things of donald it will not be small in az new mex cal texas too where the border is in need bigger better too than chinas is what kubla don decreed greater than the one torn down by regan (ronald) to protect us from the migrants with a beautiful gate decreed the donald theyll come by droves on horseback on foot and carrying ladders and mexico will pay for it thats all that really matters to keep out the wetbacks and all the muslims too but something there is that doesnt love it --- --- true ---
Las Vegas is home to a lot that might raise a pair of eyebrows, but a
new art installation depicting Donald Trump as a naked, 43-foot-tall
marionette might raise them right off your face.
Made of foam over rebar and weighing approximately 6,000 pounds, the
gigantic naked Trump will travel the United States as part of the
“Crooked and Obscene Tour” but first, you can see it in person and in
the wild at 13460 Apex Harbor Ln in Las Vegas right now.
Per the tour’s organizers, portraying Trump in the nude “is
intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability,
and the public personas of political figures.”
They also aim to spark conversation about “transparency—or lack
thereof—in politics, challenging viewers to think critically about
political influence,” according to press materials.
Those who can’t make it to Las Vegas will have opportunity to see it
on tour stops at other locations across the United States. Dates and
cities for the tour have not yet been announced. We’ll keep you posted.
Enjoy — or ‘enjoy’ — some photos of the project below:

This isn’t the first time a nude statute of Trump has appeared in
public, though it certainly dwarfs its predecessor. In 2016 Joshua
“Ginger” Monroe was hired at the art collective INDECLINE to create five life-size naked statues of the former president as part of a project called “The Emperor Has No Balls.”
The statues were put up without permits at locations in Seattle, New
York City, Cleveland, Los Angeles and San Francisco; naturally they were
soon removed by police.
