A nerd can dream, eh?

I always like seeing Deborah Birx's face as trump asks her about the research she should be doing about shining lights into bodies and drinking bleach.

Priceless.

Latest Biden campaign ad >>>

“I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with. I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’ I am hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee. What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem,” she said.

“The story is when this committee knew they were working with falsified evidence? That is the story.”

Americans, democracy could slip away.
Keep fighting against dark money, shell companies, and the Repubs (and some Dems) that keep corruption in our system.

I get it. The exercise is to list those albums that influenced my taste. Rumors is not in my daily (or even monthly) playlist, but it was a HUGE gateway drug for me to start discovering and exploring so many other greats. 🙂

The challenge is to choose 20 albums that greatly influenced your taste in music. One album per day, for 20 consecutive days. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #20Days20Albums

Not to be cliché, but here is My Very Honest Day 12:

gee, CONSERVATIVE media is LYING to women to get them to quit birth control to increase UNWANTED pregnancies while simultaneously BANNING abortion, what a fucking mystery

probably because it doesn't make a goddamn bit of sense, outside of stupidity and internalized racism. the real story is how the Uncle Ruckuses and Clayton Bigsbys are increasing in number.

again I must express my frustration with defining "working CLASS" by EDUCATION level. your economic CLASS is not determined by how many years you spent in college. it is determined by how much MONEY YOU MAKE. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, all billionaires, no college degrees. you wouldn't call them working class, would you?

there were Jewish Nazis too, you're not making the point you think you're making.

yeah that's not the racism vote, that's the SEXISM vote. that's the group that voted for Obama in 2012 not because they actually liked Obama, but because they utterly despised Sarah Palin as VP. not because of the things she said or believed in, just because they're the "women don't belong in politics" crowd. because outside of that, there is absolutely nothing consistent about the beliefs of Obama-Trump voters. Trump literally campaigned as Obama's opposite!
