I have also begun making video playlists linked to these 42 audio playlists. I will post an example from each of three periods in music history. I hope fellow threaders will give them a view/listen and maybe even share.

DD gets mad when he tells the truth!

Scam. Why would anyone believe a word that is being spoken?

Wondering if Trump voters feel he & his admin. are intensely focused on their welfare & well being of their families as he said he would be. Oh & I thought Ukraine would be settled before he was sworn in, is it possible they were played as pawns. Who could have anticipated this? 70 million citizens!

Am I misreading the actions being taken by POTUS and his Neo-Nazi Co-President because this sure feels like a second iteration of a coup’! Illegal actions, firing those who keep a check on their conduct (I.G’s.), FBI, Gov’t employees. Only room for loyalists and insurrectionists and the tech bro’s!

So misguided. Being in a cult changes people I guess.

So wait, she needed careful consideration to arrive at the point that he is not qualified for the position. Come on.

Imagine a church leader having the nerve to speak to those in attendance to show, compassion, mercy, understanding, empathy and support for those in our society who are marginalized, here seeking a better life or going through personal transitions. I know I’ve heard someone preach this before. Hum!

Which content creator/organization is going to generate a compelling collage of GOP officials speaking to the issue POTUS pardoning violent offenders guilty of assaulting police on 1/6? Make it a daily loop &get it into the right wing/MAGA echo chamber as well. Make it meaningful & powerful please.

What is wrong here, it’s a Nazi salute and reprehensible. Show some courage and call it out.

Simply put, β€œnah, we’re just going to give him a complete and total pass. That’s the GOP.

Just living in what has to be seen as two separate nations within one set of borders. Endlessly head scratching!

For America to give this conduct a pass is simply unconscionable.

Always transactional. Who they are.

Not invited. Not surprising given GOP history of exclusion. It’s who they are.

Emolument’s nice was thing but of course for some unknown reason it does not apply to 47.

There are no hero’s to be found in the GOP. They gave it all away to a bully.

Both 47 or the VP facial expressions and physical gesture let everyone know that they could give two shits about what Bishop Budde was asking of them.

There’s the chink in the armor, fact check in real time, refute nonsense in real time, don’t allow him to spew lies without rebuke. Murders do go to jail in this country.

Born in Texas, but spew hate and fear none the same. It’s all we expect from her.

He just says things; they’re never linked to facts or rooted in reality, just words and fabrication of things people want to hear. They just don’t seem to be concerned that it’s all a mirage.

A perfect non-answer.

Emoluments that was never enforced only serves to lead to more violations.

Wait, think of what has actually transpired, she is going to be an ambassador of United States. Honestly, how does this make any sense?
