Jack Smith is an honest and honorable public servant, contrary to the thick tongued spittle flecked lies of the thin haired unfit president and his grubbing cronies.

How many times have I seen Taj and he has always been great even last year when he had to be helped onto the stage and performed sitting in a chair.

What a sick joke he is, yeah. Even the other kids at Crossroads thought he was creepy and not like Radiohead. He is a criminal and one of the few evil people I know of.

I have not felt such an acute betrayal sense we discovered they were bombing Cambodia. I think this country or rather its government have done equally horrific things many times in the past I wonder if I could even list most of those actions. This is another time where we need ethical change..

There is no way to be kind or generous to these people. Since the first strike on the first boat, they have consistently violated laws of this country and international laws. Although the US government has on many occasions, done, shameful and horrific things, these crooks are doing in the open.

Different times can’t say just one album there were so many. In high school my most affecting albums were Quiet Nights by Miles Davis, Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane, Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan and A Love Supreme by John Coltrane. All my teenage years the list gets much longer.

Approaching Nazipedia! A good friend of ours was a white man born in South Africa who when he was 15 was playing music in an integrated band and spent the rest of his life fighting for human and immigrant rights. Jeez, Elon, is there anything good that you can say you have done? can’t think of any

Joining ICE is to put blinders on at the best and to enthusiastically joining in sadistic tormenting of their fellow human beings at worst. There is no way that joining ICE can be engaging in moral behavior. Shut down this secret police!
