I was looking for posts from @45 Name an Hour but it's likely they got buried under the firehose of the Fediverse. The reason I wanted to run across it because I've got a suggestion for another nickname for Mr. #TACO : The Carrot Caligula.
The irony of Democrats reducing their entire politics to reflexive opposition to Donald Trump is that, as a result, Trump now faces no credible opposition.
@Tom Grzybow What you call "perspective", I call opinionated SLANT. It's BIAS. I'll go further to say it's biased on idealogically tinted glasses. It's a big fat #FAIL.

@Tom Grzybow 3 quarter time is always 3 beats to the bar. The time signature you're describing is 4/4 regardless of the timing of each note. One possible configuration of what you describe is 3 eighth-notes and one 5/8ths note, which is awkward.
@Tom Grzybow Cases in point: "Four In The Morning" (Faron Young) and If I just say "Tucson" I'll have to narrow that down to the one Mel Tillis sang. There are so very many examples.
"No one wants to go down to Tucson in the summer, so that's why the boss chose me" is how the Mel Tillis song starts out.
The current regime is an embarrassment to this country. You might think that the Russians mocking our "leaders" is just a stunt, but this shit affects their attitude on the world stage!
Come on and tell me what you told my friends if you think you're brave enough And I'll show you what a real woman is since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew if you get too cute or witty You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat a meal that's called Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City, you better detour around my town 'Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head and I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not sayin' my baby's a saint 'cause he ain't Or that he won't cat around with a kitty I'm here to tell you, gal, you lay offa my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City
Matt Yglesias, Ro Khanna and the Abundance Boys better start hitting the books so they can figure out how holding billionaires accountable for blatant crimes is bad, actually.
Looking like a million-dollar trooper Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper--Super duper! When you're blue And you don't know Where to go to Go where the fashion sits-- Puttin' on the Ritz.
Come let’s mix Where Rockefellers Walk with sticks And um-ber-ellas in their mitts-- Puttin’ on the Ritz.
#NoEffort --NB: looks like YouTube has nixed Street Directory's embedding of the video that goes with the tune. #BoycottYouTube
Trump hits back at Musk's criticism of his Big Beautiful Bill, arguing that the Tesla CEO is mad about him canceling the 'EV mandate.' Musk denies it, and uses X to unload on the president.
Imagine if in his drive to prove himself worthy he makes an honest assessment and calls as #1 threat the state and prevention to disarm the state. @Blaise
