I really do understand. I don’t want defending the constitution to consume me as a private citizen, but the people sworn to defend it are doing a really shitty job. It’s easy to get ugly!
music/restaurant/web/data/politics in no particular order OK, there's an order, but only the first entry is correct!

And blew up a boat.
Not going to lie, this feels harsh, but I definitely would have expected better from the woman.
That's awesome.
Fair! :-)
I really hoped that when all of those European leaders came to the White House, they would put him in his place and educate the populace. Nope... they kissed.
Hey, NATO countries. Please help us out here. Tell us how you REALLY feel and stop sucking up.
When he could team up with Lee Greenwood to sell the Bible but not put his hand on it, it should have been over. I may have said this before.
The whole thing stinks. And everyone is starting to smell it.
Gee, has he broken his oath yet? Anyone?
I mean, treason has a higher penalty. But, if it all comes down on him, for those women, he should die in shackles.
I thought we'd made big wins in these areas... right now I'd settle for a President that could just uphold the Constitution.
I'm going to (sort of) defend Donald Trump for calling the Epstein thing "irrelevant". In the face of his treason, it's sadly small potatoes, but no less worth prosecuting.
And he gets away with it! The Russia hoax, the Epstein hoax. The fact is, the man doesn't care for the rule of law of the United States, and multiple Federal judges have ruled as such in an array of fields! It really has to stop.
This shit is really pissing me off, but I can't let it tear me away from music for another decade. Been there, done that. Twice. In totally different spheres. I have two letters of recommendation saying that I can do anything I put my mind to. So, protest music it will be!
And really, I think it goes that far back. I think it was 1957 when "I Was a Communist for the FBI" was produced, and all I could see in that film was what today's GOP has become.
If they ever decide to go after old white guys with divergent political views, I'm cooked! :-)
I'm 66, and am a staunch supporter of the Constitution. I have never seen an administration piss all over it like this, and I can't believe they're getting away with it! Some of us knew who Donald Trump was before Mark Burnett rehabilitated his image.
It's his responsibility to uphold the rule of law, and he thwarts it daily. I can't believe the whole damned party got bought. Khrushchev is laughing in his grave.
Exactly. That's act of war level shit, and he has no business going there.
This doctor, a soldier who went between his private practice, which catered to those without health insurance, and army service, ran Fox in his office all the time. Great Doctor, he helped a lot of people, but... it IS a cult.
Blowing up a boat and killing 11 people in the Caribbean, suspected of drug smuggling, might fall into that category. Seizing and apprehending, yes. Just blowing them up?
Maybe because part of their rations for quite some time has been Fox News?
Is Doctor Jackson in charge of stockpiling?
And thank you! I could likely access it through Apple News, but access to quality news sources is something I think about and often bump up against. I have budgetary limits, but likely more access than a huge percentage of the population.
Such a great moment in American film.
Vermont is soon to be cold. PLEASE don’t make this place look habitable to me!
This Department of War shit is just wrong.
First solo gig in a while tonight at Angler Pub in Rutland, VT, starting shortly after 7. September 19, I'll be "Mick" with Joey Leone and the Chop Shop Horns at the Stowe British Invasion Block Party. Looking for a winter residence gig in the Rutland/Killington area, either Tu, Th, F, or Sat.
Fifty wasn't bad at all, neither was 60. Somewhere after that, I started feeling some of the effects of aging though... Hell, I never thought I'd live to see 40, so everything is a bonus at this point!
The tremendous amount of talent, intellect, and dedication tossed aside by this administration has become nauseating.
It's starting to feel like they're collecting all of the coins before the great extermination. And I'm an old white guy, but my association with the hippies will certainly have me on the list!
Played or controls?
There's no way all of this is the brainchild of Donald Trump. Or Stephen Miller. Or even both of them with Steve Bannon in the room. Didn't someone once famously call Trump a puppet? Not a mistake. Did Chuck learn nothing?
Cools my scotch. 😊
I’m concerned for her.
Umm, wasn't that my point? But not so much the generation thing that has plumbers offering to train me at this age, for the simple reason that they know I'd show up.
A lot of people are saying that states should train National Guard members to protect them from the federal government.
Heh... but who will they replace him with? Maybe bring Kristi from Homeland over and replace her with someone a little more male and buff?
The fallout from this should be the death knell to this horrible administration that has no more respect for the Constitution and the rule of law than I do for the taste of liver.
I'm 66. In junior high "Civics" we studied the Constitution, philosophies of the founding fathers, the Bill of Rights, and the rule of law... I see so many impeachable offences. Blatant disregard for the rule of law by an entire administration/party. How is this even happening?
I really don't know how much more of the daily barrage of ineptitude I can take from this administration.
Please, someone, make it stop! All of it!
Being "the hottest country" might not be the flex some think it is at this particular moment.
OK, Gavin, you made your point. Now let's make a change. Get world leaders, Governors, and even Republican representatives to make a stand for the Constitution. If you want my respect, call them all out for kissing ass and not fulfilling their oath or speaking their mind.
Yes 🤣
I've been raising flags since at least 2011, and people were all like, "Oh, it's all in fun," "You're being too serious." And here we are. Lora Loomer claimed that McCarthy was right, yet this whole administration, to me, seems what he feared! Upside down. Not good.
If this administration feels a need to come after me for my views, please don't send your masked henchmen. Just contact the local sheriff's office. They would confirm that I'm a peaceful person.
And don't point to Gavin Newsom. While valuable, it pisses most of them off. It may make some headway, but that whole campaign makes Newsom an even bigger liberal POS to MAGA. Time to get real.
Whoa... And no one is putting him in his place? I'm astounded.
Stevie... those hippies made shit happen. Your shitstain will be wiped out.
C'mon, help me out here. I know somebody has one!
If there were a link to show support for impeaching this entire administration, I would so click it.
Keyword: Unconstitutional. How is this even happening? He should have been impeached on day one!
Where's George Soros when you need him? :-)
<-- Not a hippie, but child mascot of the hippie kingdom that knows where his loyalties lie.
So, how many dollars that DOGE saved have been eclipsed by reinstating shit that they had no business in? How on earth has this administration not been impeached yet?
Child? I'm 66, in Rutland, VT, and not having to deal with this (yet), but masked "law enforcement," soldiers, and weapons of war patrolling our streets? It's hard for me to imagine the soul that is right with this.
The deference is astounding.
The world needs to stop kissing ass and call him out. It's not that hard.
I mean, it's not just his party... the entire world is stroking this guy. WTF?
I get it, but is this really what American politics has devolved to?
This headline… four days? From my seat it was dead in the water on day one. apple.news/ArpWN3G0CSie...
Hmmm... aren't MAGA Republicans are the end product of what McCarthy feared?
But now that I've watched the intro, oh yes... I was 7.
Oh my... I just went out and searched for "Diaper Man" to verify some things, and I got the show wrong. It was "The Mighty Heroes." I don't even remember that show's name!
It’s probably not good to piss off the hippies. Just saying.
Not if they’re coddling Diaper Man.
Mmmmm... and gimme some of that PragerU for my grandchildren... I'm going to end up drinking myself to death! And on that note, good night! :-)
I'm livid. I didn't have PBS as a child, but I value it. I had CBS, NBC, and whatever the Canadian station was. I didn't experience Sesame Street until I left Vermont. All of our radio, both AM and FM, was from Montreal. What the cries of "fake news" have done to journalism is criminal.
I NEVER had a problem with anyone because of race except... This cheerleader and I were getting along very well, and the brothers were having none of that. Aside from that, I was welcomed into homes, sat with this guy who spoke Ebonics for hours, trying to communicate, and we wound up smiling...
And TV hadn't changed much that I recall... But I suddenly went from Yes and Supertramp in VT to Kiss and Ted Nugent when I moved full-time to Indianapolis at 16. That was bigger than race to me. I was naive about race issues. My guardians put me in a private school out of fear that I couldn't cope.
I'm older than, or geographically differentiated from, Garbage Pail Kids (I'm 66). Where I grew up, we had three over-the-air stations; one from Canada. When I visited Indiana at 8, I hadn't heard of Roger Ramjet. Or anything on ABC. When I left Vermont at 16, CHOM-FM out of Montreal was my music.
I'm something of a Luddite at times. GIFS allude me. Emoticons I can deal with to a point, but memes are totally non-starters. I'm sure I've shared one or two, but it would be rare!
God, do you also remember Mr. Terrific? 😜
Pockets of blistering storms coming out of seemingly nowhere are becoming the norm. Maybe when Trump's plane becomes a victim, he'll start paying attention? Doubtful. There's not a dollar to be made in that sort of thinking.
Lol, you remember that? I never would’ve expected anyone to!
There was an old cartoon called "Wacky Racers," and one of the characters was "Diaper Man." If AI were to cook up an evil version of that character, it would likely look like that blow-up doll... you know the one I'm talking about! :-)
Zelensky was in a tight spot. And I'm sure there are moments we have yet to see and maybe never will, but he was coached. Everyone felt they needed to coddle Diaper Man.
I'd hoped they'd step up and make America realize that if they kissed his ass, they were kissing Putin's, but no, they just kissed it.
I'd hoped they'd step up and make America realize that if they kissed his ass, they were kissing Putin's, but no, they just kissed it.
I'm livid. Seven world leaders had an opportunity to put him in his place, and even after that rambling, incoherent, having nothing to do with the moment blather he unleashed, they all seemed ready to change his diaper.
And therefore, neither does Donald Trump. Zelensky brought seven people to Washington to coddle Putin's toddler. What a waste.
From what I can gather, numerous world leaders took very expensive trips to gain nothing while coddling Diaper Man. Does that about cover it?
Heh... redacted... No victims' names or accusations that are already public in this article; it's James Comer, Bill Barr, and a mention of Acosta. And redactions. Can we all collectively gag on this?
I really wish they’d all dispense with kissing up and show the world what they’re really feeling. It could be educational as well as a good honest and forthright tactic in negotiating. He needs to be put in his place.
Isn’t there a window for her reserved in Amsterdam still?
Sad.
Gee, how about a daily ticker of how many times he’s lost in Federal court because he doesn’t give a shit about the rule of law or the Constitution? Never trust a man that can’t put his hand on the Bible he can sell.
I hope they make it excruciating painful for him, and educational for the American public.
Maybe we need different shades… I’d go for a deep gray here. Set a tone…
I think Trump did exactly what he was supposed to do, and hope other world leaders can educate the American public.
I can't wait to see what Trump tries to give Putin that he has no right to give. And this is really bugging me... How can a man take the oath of office for President of the United States without putting his hand on the bible, but enlist Lee Greenwood to sell them for profit?
A 50k hiring bonus and a half-trillion budget could do a lot. There's power in numbers, and we need to get off our collective asses.
Oh Tim. Goodbye. You have a thin skin and even thinner psyche.
People are starving. Bombed. Shot. Abused. And no one is doing shit. But Gavin is worthy of the Nobel because he's standing up to redistricting in the United States? Please...
Is rhetoric with no guarantee it can be produced worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize?
Ohhh, I'm a patriot. This administration is pissing me right off. But the Noble for this? C'mon...
So, tit for tat is now worthy of the Noble Peace Prize. Gotcha... WTF?
How so? Explain it with the whole apples and oranges thing in mind.
