Btw, I do know how

Yawn! These right wingers are such cliches, time after time. Monstrous people heโ€™ll vent on making everyone elseโ€™s life hellish, too.

Terrible news. When I first read the headline, though, without checking the lede, I thought that the singer Morrissey of The Smiths fame was weighing inโ€ฆit would trackโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚

I get this! While the film gas not aged well, in my view, you canโ€™t beat the edgy sexiness quotient, or weirdness of Bowie, Denice and Sarandon, combined with โ€œBela Lugosi is deadโ€ 80s vibing.

Inquiring minds might enjoy more details. Hyperbole much? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Totally agree with your analysis, but I gave to smile at the notion that Kristi Noem, or any of these clowns have even heard of the Paris Commune.

Standing with you, Senator Padilla, as I know so many millions of my fellow Californiansโ€”your constituents-are. We implore must hold this Administration accountable for its vile mistreatment of you and of the many activists and everyday citizens who have been exercising their democratic rights.

Absolutely, the two things are intimately related and it goes without saying that it is far from coincidental that these two officials are African-American and Latino, respectively. They are striving for a white supremacist national. We say no.

Yes, even with his own family! I remember in 2016/17 reading about how his views on immigrationโ€ฆalienated much of his family. Heโ€™s been a p.o.s. from the get-go it seems.

Of course not! Those rhymesโ€ฆItโ€™s the rare, truly bad song that makes tunes like the Pina Colada song look like masterpieces.

If you know SaMo High (and as an Angelena, I know that you do), Miller was so out of step with the culture of that place and from what I remember reading, embattled with fellow students.

Was he even with the band when that abomination was released? I thought he had long since parted ways (for the most part)?

Oh, absolutely! And I would not be the least surprised if they have planted agents provocateur in the crowds to amp up the appearance of โ€œinsurrection.โ€

True, but L.A. is where Trump wants to test his suppression of all dissent and repression of state-level power, so even if itโ€™s quiet in many parts of the city, itโ€™s global news and extremely serious.

Yes, I have thought this, too.

Oh, Dave, I doubt you are capable of such diabolical โ€œcravingsโ€ and thank the stars for that!

Thanks, I prefer to tread cautiously with these conversations. I am so sorry that your folks do not get it. Too many people get their egos wrapped up in this and lose sight of what is best for their children to feel whole. One can feel hurt but take it to a therapist to deal with, not on your kids.

Yup. It's not my business to comment, probably, as an adoptive parent, but I think that this adoptive mom is way out of line.

Oy, we don't want him. They are both plagues on the Republic.

A billionaire can do whatever the โ€”โ€”he wants and thatโ€™s America in a nutshell.

These days, I constantly need a nap. Either itโ€™s aging, galloping fascism, or something in the water? Hope you get some rest.๐Ÿ’œ

Some of us are old enough to have been active in the anti-Apartheid movement back in the 1980s. Hell no, weโ€™re not going to forget how sick and repressive that racist regime was, nor will we allow Trumpโ€™s white supremacist-driven distortions of history.

Has Gov. Healy spoken regarding this bill? I would be extremely disturbing, though sadly not unimaginable, for a lesbian political official to take an anti-trans position for political expedience. I hope that is not the case.
