Trump: “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, & thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT … Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!”

“We need”. Incredible language.
Trump: "We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has spent no money. They have no military protection. They say Denmark was there 300 years ago or something with a boat. Well, we were there with boats too I'm sure."

Used to love the sound of this when it became a radio hit in Ireland when I was a youngster. The double rhythm guitar across 2 speakers. Far better than the later disco remix version when he got popular in his native UK. RIP Chris Rea 🎸 🔈 🎸 🔈

They stole land from the USA? What land? How come no-one heard about this until now? What’s going on?
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Thanks for sharing. Hard Rain is a better record than critics claim; it's rough and a loose and everything you want from a Rolling Thunder recording in the windy outdoors of the mid 1970s.

Cool people are everywhere. This dude redid the audio for Bob Dylan’s Idiot Wind & posted it on the web. The performance is from a TV concert called Hard Rain. His substack post covers his process & links to the full film.
