Fascism always descends into barbarism.

interesting, since I don't know of any real protests and demonstrations here in the US, outside of the long planned women's march. The US population is about as restive as the Germans were a few weeks after Hitler took power in 1933.

The cheat was implemented by vast vote repression, estimate at around 5 million total, through a combination of voter role purges and forcing people to use contingent ballots which then get thrown out later. See latest Thom Hartmann for the details. The very large majority of these were blk voters

and its the Trump/Nazi party

May nature take his sick corrupt ass. Just die, mf'r.

"Awkward gesture" my ass. That was a pure Sieg Heil, and entirely thoughtfully chosen and executed. He's signaling the Trump minions that White Supremacy and Fascism are IN, that acting criminally in support of the Great Leader will be "safe" (witness the pardons today!), and so much more.

The Democrats are just "Republicanism lite". A party of, by and for the corporations and the corporate elite/rich. Sure, 5% of Democrats are true progressives...but that's immaterial. It's not about being mean, ruthless, etc. It's about who the party TRULY serves.

The only criteria that matters to me: does it make me feel?

Steve Kimock vs. Allen Holdsworth. Kimock all the way!!

A reflection of the dumbing down of music. 95% of what's on the top 50 lists of the major media distributors is simply garbage. I'll bet 95% of that is just produced by AI's these days. Sad.

within 10 years, almost ALL mass media "art" (books, films, paintings, you name it) will be AI generated. IMO. The masses will accept it and swallow it.

on my list too!!

to whom exactly? I assume some group is filing a lawsuit...but we know that won't stop anything, the institutions of power in the US are wholly in the control of the corporate fascist oligarchy.

i knew it, I KNEW IT!!!

English is to impart side spin to the cue ball, done by striking the cue ball off center. The purpose is to cause the target ball to come off the hit at a lessor or greater (usually greater) angle than otherwise, or for the cue to bank off the rail at a greater or lessor angle.

the question is how will he manage to stay in power and/or otherwise have the '28 election totally rigged to elect some Trumpist (Don Jr???). It's going to be ugly.

There's of course the "Cavern Club" in the nightclub district that always (I assume it's still there, been 20 years now for me) have Beatles cover bands, which are usually very good!
