Remember the law, passed and signed, regarding Tik Tok, that TFG kept extending until his buddies could get in on the grift?

The Ryman Auditorium tour is well worth it. Pay for the backstage tickets. Great tour guides
They have a display for REM, the only American band on the same level as the Beatles and the Stones. One of Peter Buck’s Rickenbacher guitars is on exhibit. Also Bill Berry’s snare drum. Used to have on of Johnny Cash’s black suits. Speaking of Johnny, his museum in Nashville is also great.

“There is a tendency in news coverage to reward Trump by covering the action — a firing — rather than his failure on every level. It results in a weird herd-like dynamic where everyone piles on to reject the obviously foolish person who was fired and thereby associate themselves with the powerful actor who did the firing. Which is, well, insane…”t
This is very good and important. I like Marcy Wheeler’s formulation, that it turns reporters into “data mules” for Trump.

How can you say that??? He showed strong, clear and decisive decision-making to hide on Jan 6. That’s the kind of resolve we need!

There could be no more damning reflection on “Western Civilization” than Pete Hegseth’s claim that Trump’s war on Iran represents W.C’s defense of its superior values against its uncivilized enemies.

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I’m not finding that they have done that? Speculation that they could, but not that they’ve tried and been rebuffed.

“The Shield of Americas” is doubtless a new grift meant to line the pockets of the Trump family and their loyalists.

Donald Trump is the worst DHS secretary in history, and worst attorney general and … you get the point.
This is a great point. Simply reducing their presence in MN and replacing the top goon on their goon squad allowed the media to “turn the page” from covering ICE, and now by scapegoating Noem they turn another.
Meanwhile we’ve recently lost the Post, CBS and CNN. If we get through this it will be by the skin of our teeth.

Every cover on his late albums beats the original.
Every one…
It’s true of his old albums too…
I know of only two covers not better than the original…
- Redemption Song
- Bridge Over Troubled Water
And one equal to the original, just hard to say “Better”
- Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright
