Played guitar and wrote songs for a living, so I wouldn't have to work.
And I have to add to this cocaine is NOT the drug racking up hundreds of thousand deaths: that's fentanyl, which does NOT come from Venezuela.
In case you're wondering, I despise cocaine. Of all the highs I experienced, it was the worst. But I also despise the GOP lying by interference.

I'm going to be a stickler and suggest aluminium shouldn't be on this list because that's the way they spell it: so not an odd pronunciation. And when you think of it, "ium" seems a more legit spelling for an element.

Running for governor in this state on a platform of more oil derricks is... it's a choice.

We don't enunciate the U, nor do Nicaraguans. It's 4 syllables, not 5.

Great song. Just checked. Written by Barry Mann: without Cynthia Weill. Only lyrics I know he ever wrote.

This song has a shortish bridge, and every other part is basically the chorus.

This has to me mentioned during any and all discussions. And they should be called out for the trick they play of tacking on "terrorists", which just happens to justify military response. I mean seriously, "drug runners" and "terrorists" are by no means the same thing.

Shameful. Sometimes I wonder if my opinion is fair: that maybe I'm seeing them through my own partisan lens. But, no, they'll throw us a few crumbs, and then go right back to riding Trump's jock because abortion. I'd get a perverse pleasure from reading a Thomas treatise on the establishment clause.

It seems to me that, sadly, quite a number of sports stars lean that way. When the Dodgers went to the White House, as a lifelong fan it broke my heart. But I honestly think it was one or two prominent voices, and the rest went along out of solidarity.

We should add "terrorists" to any word or name suggesting GOP, to combat their attempt to turn a non military group into a military one, to justify killing civilians. I just heard Trump say they're "trying to kill Americans." No, they're selling drugs. If anything they don't want to lose customers.

Honestly, in this context I think he's just trying to sound like cops on a tv show. "It was a righteous bust sir."
But to your point, in these killings no one sees them as "righteous".

This pretzel logic from Hassett isn't just flat wrong, it's really hurtful to those out of work. We hear from all sectors the opposite from what this schmuck is saying: if you lose your job, good luck getting the next one.
