John Lennon was/is my all time fave poet/musician.
In my humble opinion “Imagine” is the best song ever written by anyone. It is my life theme that I aspire to. I fail but I continue to aspire to it.

I was watching Monday Night Football on Dec 8th, 1980 when Howard Cosell announced that John had been shot dead in front of the Dakota Building. I was crushed. I will never forget that moment.

That was truly a horrible moment. Between Elvis dying and Lennon getting shot, “famous musician” seemed like a pretty grim occupation for a while there.

A friend of mine was Mel See. He was Linda McCartney’s first husband. Thru him I began an acquaintance (not far along enough to be actual friendship as we met only a few times) with Paul. It’s not every day that Paul comes to your house and spends a couple hours helping to remodel the kitchen by assisting in setting tile in the countertop. Mostly it was a time spent laughing and not being a “celebrity” which he craved then.

There’s a good chance the guy was stupid drunk when he made the calls.

Drunk or sober it was epic stupidity to get his voice recorded making threats on someone’s life

This is even funnier than TFG with Angela Merkel, where she tells him not to hire Nazis.

Trump and his MAGA terrorists need to be prosecuted to send a message to the public that the crime spree will no longer be tolerated. Somewhere along the line, a large segment of society lost touch with reality, and so they need it to be forcefully packed into their tiny brains.

I hope that the DoJ can bring to justice the domestic terrorists who installed the gallows and noose on Capitol grounds to hang Vice President Pence during the January 6th Coup.

It’s good to at least some few folks indicted for this sort of directed threats of violence against election workers and officials. This sort of incitement and threats need to end.

Remember that DoJ was notified of potential classified docs mixed in with presidential records only in February this year, and did not determine that there were possibly additional classified docs until April this year. We also do not know when this year DoJ was given a statement by an informant that would support a search warrant. So rant away, but reality is not on your side.

Yeah, what’s up with that. This isn’t a hard thing to track down, a first year prosecutor handle this easily. IANAL so there may be more to it than it appears.

The cynical side of me tells me that they intentionally waited until right before the midterms to send a message to any other chowderheads who might have the same ideas.

Yah, I make mistakes cuz I am not privy to inside information but trump makes mistakes too and reality is less on his side than it is on mine.
I appreciate you information and will correct myself going forward.
Odd thing occurs to me…
What was in these boxes sitting on the White House driveway on 1/20/21 other than the clear one with the baseball bat?? Was it all clothes and books and "newspaper clippings?

Two are marked as “Presidential Library”…which makes me chuckle. Has donnie set up a library to show off his documents yet? I mean other than the bar at trump tower.
I do not like trump as a man or politician. He offends me with his overthetop crap, lies and I’m the greatest attitude

Iowa may not have the highest number of MAGATS but we have some real winners. From the idiot in the Q shirt that chased the Capitol Officer to this tool we are putting our best on display.

I volunteer (with pay) for my local Board of Elections. After having worked several elections over the last few years, I can assure you that every precaution is taken, the ballots are given to a police officer and we upload the count from our machines. There is no interference or fraud involved in the parts of the process I witness. All of this nonsense started because an evil man could not accept the fact that the lost an election. The only possible reason? Fraud at the polls!! In his diseased mind, there could be no other explanation. What fascinates me is how many other idiots continue to believe this fabrication.

death threats to an election official

Republican voters are sending death threats to school receptionists, to medical doctors… I guess clerks at the DMV are next. The Republican Party encourages that behavior, while their Public Relations Department pushes out messages of incomparable family values.

It’s time for change. It’s time for Democrats to govern to get us back to Majority Rule.
