Except the hemisphere doesn’t belong to us and it’s an exhausting exercise to continually emphasize reality to overcome the lying bullshit … which is exactly why the lying bullshitters do it.
BUT …

We must persevere.

How great for the Venezuelans. I missed where they voted for an orange half-dead president … after all, they can see how well that’s not working for the U.S.

I wish I still loved baseball. I used to look forward to Spring Training. The rule changes and obscene money$ (I would have to pay a subscription fee just to watch my team’s games) have sucked all the joy out of it for me.

It’s not hard to do the math ..,
(“Hmmmm … I can steal $50 mil … spend $3 mil on a pardon … and I’m $47 mil ahead … and moving on to the next fraud)

It’s mind boggling, but also very sad. Unless you are a First Nations, Native American person, you are a f*king immigrant! Instead of this ignorant “I’ve got mine, so fuk you” attitude, we need “I’ve got mine, now I’ll help you get yours.” F*k this racist bullshit.

The early ballads of Otis, less familiar to the general radio audience of the day, are the real showcase of what he brought to music. He was a singular, soulful talent in his writing and vocal expression. Love Otis, and love that you pay tribute to him here.

This is just so perfectly, right? He’s so used to fucking over people he has his own condom. ANYONE of any religion or political stripe who still supports this scum bag is a piece of shit themselves. There’s just no equivocation or grey area on this.
