Guitar-maker Fender’s credit has been downgraded because of increased operational costs due to tariffs.

That’s ok. We’re only a couple weeks out from the Mango Messiah and the MAGAt KKKult naming the banjo the national instrument and banning all others.

How bad do the right wingers in Congress need to be to enrage voters against them?

Social Security checks need to bounce, and Medicare bills go unpaid.

That aint enough for young people to get their eyes off tiktok and Instagram. There has been a regime change in the US we don’t have a republic anymore,. The only way to restore the republic is going to be with people in the streets willing to fight that has to be young people. Old farts make lousy revolutionaries.

it could bring sanctions.

So, collaborators? Or is there a more polite word name for the press in Vichy?

@chjim

dementia or is it just being an old fart?” @darrtown, it is a concern for us oldsters. You have Mrs.darr; I have Mrschjim; they keep us oriented. Part of the mental slowdown I experience is my inability to process rapid speech. I can’t forget what my brain never got hold of to begin with. Annoying as these episodes are, they offer opportunity to recognize, and be patient with, infirmities in others. We’re all in this together.

Me too. I hafta ask folks to slow their speech as I have hearing aids that don’t seem to process rapidfire speech well. Then again it could just be me. I can say that without Mrs darr I’d be lost.

I have 2 mandolins by Gibson
3 banjos, one is a Gibson, another is Gold Tone and the third is by Johnson and one I am slowly making myself.
Mango Messiah knows nothing of music. Screwing with guitar makers ought to be grounds for instant impeachment.

In the “good old days” when things made sense…
Now we have a grown todder in charge…

In Picadilly Circus?’”

Many people don’t know this, but trump was the real author of Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style.

He’s just too humble to claim credit.

I would pay China good money to shoot every goddamn Starlink satellite out of the sky. Particularly when they’re right above Mar-a-Largo.

Why does that make a difference?

Because it reaffirms, solidifies and helps define the idea that we are a collective community, with obligations to others. It also hints at challenging the idea (which I’ve heard specifically from Trumpinistas) that “selfishness is a virtue”.

Yes, these people are powered by hate and firmly, firmly, believe that “selfishness is a virtue” a to power their lives.Folks, we owe to our community, and yes it’s in exchange for what we expect from our community. These sick fucks have completely lost the plot but we need to firmly and definitely reclaim it - “Selfishness is a sin, altruism is a virtue” going forward.

Having spent my life trying to help others, I do so, so hope we can reclaim this concept for our society. We do deserve it, even if so many try to eliminate it…
