I play it a lot … much more than IORR. I think the songs stand up very well in the shadow of Exile.

It exploded my world. It was out of print for a long time and very hard to find. I still remember the day I found a sealed copy in the cut-out section of a chain record store in Atlanta. Only exceeded by the bliss of finding a mint U.S. copy of Fun House (even rarer).

This is fake — read the last line.

The last line gives it away — Trump cannot and would not read a draft and suggest changes. They shove paper in front of him and he scrawls his name in crayon —that’s his entire functional contribution to “governing.”

Neil has done this often over the decades. He cancelled his 2024 Crazy Horse tour as we were walking up to the venue in Chicago. No explanation provided, other than someone in the band “wasn’t feeling it.” A month later, he was playing live again. Love Neil, but this is SOP for him.

The endorphin rush they get from perverting liberal rationalism, in this case as embodied in democratically constructed law, in order to destroy liberalism, rationalism, and democracy, is substantial and addictive. And they, clout-chasing Nazis all, know they are protected while doing so.

No, just your run-of-the-mill drunk, unwashed, unshaven, adulterous, pseudo-intellectual, media-whoremonger English white guy slob with bad teeth and breath who doesn’t know how to tie a tie. You know, “the elite.”

My nomination for that category would be Foo Fighters

Reed got his shit back together with that album. Also check out “Live in Italy“— peak live Reed with Quine in the band (though Quine said the tour was a miserable experience).

Well, you need a universally understood shorthand for “shitty music” and Nickelback, unfortunately for them, filled that need. If there was a God, it would have U2 …

These oh-so-clever intellectual elites think they can talk their way out of anything, don't they?

"Sovereign borders are biblical"? This guy is just a straight-up cretin who apparently thinks "54-40 or fight" is in Leviticus.

*They* were the power brokers, not Epstein. His ticket into *their* world was providing them with sex with underage girls and blackmailing them to ensure his membership in their exclusive club was never revoked.

When he was a kid, this guy got no respect — his mother had to tie a pork chop around his neck to get the dog to play with him …

But after France’s defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, didn’t the U.S. decline to support a general peace agreement creating a divided Vietnam, go on to back Diem, and establish SEATO? LBJ dove headfirst into the war, true, but it was Eisenhower that first waded into it.

Her parents didn’t teach her to cook and she was never poor enough to *have to learn to cook*.

Senator, there’s a lot of things you aren’t: intelligent, decent, compassionate, honest, hard-working, moral, ethical, patriotic, articulate, literate … I could go on, but you get the idea.You are, in sum, a man without qualities.

That is the very definition of a “stupid question.”

They’re “effectuating” see — that’s like an official thing that’s real and legal and taught in law schools. I can fancy English speak good …

If she moved forward after they got out and pulled on her, they 100% would have shot her dead because she “weaponized“ her vehicle and they “feared for their lives.” I also understand she was boxed in from rear, so she couldn’t turn around.

The German historian Götz Aly has argued that this kind of expropriation incentivized “good” Germans to tolerate the Third Reich’s accelerating anti-Jewish policies.
