Legendary 1990s band Rage Against The Machine has been triggered into reuniting ahead of the 2020 election in order to #resist four more years of Donald Trump – perhaps the most anti-establishment, ‘outsider’ president in US history.
The band will initially play three shows “along or near the Mexican border,” according to Consequence of Sound, where they’ll surely explain their silence in 2011 when the Obama administration was called out by the ACLU for family separation and sticking migrant kids in cages (though Tom Morello did accuse Obama of war crimes.)
(Yawn) Boring.

OK, so we’ll extrapolate a bit. How about that Max Blumenthal thing, where they charge him for savagely (her words: “beating up”) some opposition gal and a SWAT team is sent to arrest him as bogusly ‘armed and dangerous’ 6 months later, after his accuser can claim “sorry, no photos of the injuries and they’ve all healed by now anyway.”
Now, here’s the kicker. Which machine would that band rage at if it were to rage?
Is she the one whose baby carriage was stolen to carry food into the embassy and her baby thrown onto the street and trampled to death?
soon to be re-named “Slightly Miffed, Embracing the Deep State”….
