In honour of Dolly Parton’s 80th birthday tomorrow, I’ve made this: it’s my own interpretation of how Elvis’s version of I Will Always Love You MIGHT have sounded, if it had happened…
EVERYBODY re-post this so it reaches Dolly…

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

The GOP is made up of people who’d rather live with the abusive father figure than share power with people they see as their inferiors.

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

If you feel that your intelligence has gone unfairly unrecognised until now, for £10,000 I will sell you my 2016 Celebrity Mastermind trophy, at which point YOU will become the winner of Celebrity Mastermind 2016, because that’s how it works.

“Trump, who often speaks about his desire to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, had expressed displeasure when it was given to Machado and she decided to accept the honour last year.”
