It was one of the few things that I enjoyed about HS.

If I had to guess I’d say you are (or were) a Drill Instructor. I’m not sure about the Clan of the Jarheads but yes, final answer.

My second guess would be a G-big number civilian show runner.

Okay, THAT was funny!

I thought you would get a kick out of that. :)

But, also not funny, considering what is happening in the music industry these days where the very life and soul is being sucked out of modern recordings ... not to mention that the same is happening to the real music we have cherished for many, many decades when it is remastered and remixed and re-released or uploaded to digital platforms like YouTube and all the rest. We can no longer even be confident that we are listening to live vocals and instruments at the "live" concerts we attend.

I hear you, but I'm just more of a "relax and enjoy the music" person because I'm thankful for the freedoms we still have where arts and entertainment are concerned. They can have (ban) my music and literature when they can pry it from my trained lethal hands.

The powers that be in the music industry, if they continue on this trend with impunity, will keep up the effort to prevent us from ever hearing the glorious sound of a great singer's natural voice, forevermore. And, how depressing is that?

I don't "do" depression or a whole host of emotions... had it trained right out of me.

Enjoy what you can for as long as you can. :)

This one's for you

He said that immigrants are taking jobs from Americans, including from Black people, and he'll protect your job all those Mexican gang members and whoever else they're sending to come do bad things here.

They're simply repeating a Trump direct quote because they're intelligent and possess the ability to connect dots.

Trump said: "They're taking Black jobs..." while also being known for the frequent claim that people of color who hold higher positions are a "DEI hire" who are unintelligent and/or "didn't earn it."

Perhaps the "substantial number of voters" who like that ridiculous type racist bullshit are simply failing to connect the dots. Anyone who routinely claims a person of color is a "DEI hire" while at the same time claiming that "illegals are taking Black jobs," while simultaneously claiming that "illegals are bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists" isn't someone who respects you.

Not rocket science.

It was not a gaffe. He's repeated it like he always does when asked about the hideous things he says.

His standard speaking mode is word salad, but he speaks with clarity when race is the subject. He meant that "illegals" were taking the "Black jobs" that white people don't want. Otherwise, he'd just say that they were taking American jobs (which he did not say).

James Taylor Rains Fire On The DNC

70 year old bottle-blonde fake wrestler Hulk Hogan offered to "body slam Kamala Harris" last night. This is the MAGA tough guy ideal. LOL.

Racist to the core, he also asked "Is she Indian?", before demonstrating that he's a MAGAt dipshit who doesn't know the difference between Native Americans and South Asians.

I know, right!? And it's not like the GOP didn't know exactly who he is when they oiled up and propped him up in order to represent the racism rampant in the Republican Party. It's not like he wasn't stripped by the WWE and erased from their site for his racist ranting.

This imbecile was the last speaker at the RNC before their felonious nominee. The gender gap isn't wide enough to suit MAGA world just yet.

They'll demonstrably be unable to stop themselves from being the racists and misogynists they are, and then they'll claim they were just kidding while they design their plans to trample all over what remaining freedoms we have. See Project 2025.

Short Fingers held a "press conference" in Michigan yesterday where he claimed that people can't buy bread without getting shot, mugged, and/or raped in this dystopian hellscape we call America.

Who needs target practice? When I want to hone my Annie Oakley-style sharpshooting skills, I go for bread. Of course, I phone law enforcement of my location and ETA beforehand so they can dispatch EMS in order keep the streets clean of the multiple wounded.

He also agreed to do an interview with The Detroit News which was publicized in advance to troll the Vice President.

Trump should definitely keep trolling her; it's helping... her.

While "live performance" these days means only that the performer is actually there, alive on stage and moving around and not necessarily that we are actually allowed to hear them singing live - unedited by autotuning - and playing their instruments live, I was hopeful that we would indeed get a performance with actual live vocals from James and the back-up singers and live playing of the instruments. Or, maybe we wouldn't have...

The Republicans have become the fun party. We had Amber Rose. We’ve got Hulk Hogan. - Dipshit Scott Jennings (Mitch McConnell advisor and CNN's GOP propagandist)

He also agreed to do an interview with The Detroit News which was publicized in advance to troll the Vice President. When asked for some kind of evidence of the crime wave he spoke of, he bailed.

It's gonna be a long slog to election day for him. He's too old, low energy, and lazy to make it. Sad, but there's always Venezuela.

Tuesday, August 20

Two-City Rally, two full arenas:

* Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the RNC held their convention
* Chicago, Illinois, where the DNC Convention is being held

Trump meltdown incoming

I also thought Coach Kerr's speech was memorable too. The coach of the Golden State Warriors returned to the USA recently with the gold medal winning men's basketball team he coached and said he would work every day until the election to help the Harris/Walz ticket win the election.

After the results are tallied, we can — in the words of the great Steph Curry — we can tell Donald Trump, 'Night, night,'
