The Trump Twitter scheme is a rigged con game from a con man. We can't win at it because the game is keeping the media and people chasing intentional lies each day, to control their behavior and their topics of discussion.
The Republican Party has been funneling money from foreign anti-Democratic regimes and "investors" into the nation's political processes for decades. The money is, and has been, used to buy "absolute power" domestically for the Republican Party; and influence and control in American politics for enemies of democracy.
Nothing goes better with another hot Summer weekend than barbecue and cold drinks so this weekend's music thread is for songs with titles or lyrics including food, drink, and of course desserts. Now let's dig in to some delicious tunes!
Revolution isn't a war. It is an agreement. Revolution can never come from above, from "governments." War almost always does. Revolution is the only option when government fails to represent the basic morality of a majority, or consensus, of the people. When it fails to be accountable, and responsible.
Being "safe at home" for weeks can give you a bit of cabin fever so this weekend's music thread is for songs about the great outdoors, looking forward to being outside again! Share your favorite tunes about nature whether land, sea or sky!
This weekend's theme is for songs about days of the week, which can also include yesterday, today and tomorrow...or as I am starting to call days, "yestomorrows".
These folks are my real community.  I like them, think they’re interesting, see how hard they work to survive and sometimes get ahead. They have gotten jobs, housing, and renewed family contacts. That was our goal. A Safe Haven in the Storm of Life.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson epitomizes what excellence looks like to the fullest despite all the obstacles placed before her path — stoically facing a gaggle of stupid questions such as when Lindsey Graham asked her to rate her faithfulness.
Simple Don forgot that he is the most anti-environment person on earth. Especially since his pen makes him the world's biggest carbon contributor.
We set our clocks back last weekend and now the time has come for the arrival of Spring! So this weekend's music thread is about time and nature. Plant your favorite songs about nature and time in today's thread and let the music bloom!
