October 5 - #OnThisDay in 1974 - 50 years ago today(!) Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells went to No.1 for the first time on the UK album chart 15 months after being released. It went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide.

The first album released on Virgin Records saw Oldfield, (who was just 19 years old when it was recorded), playing almost all of the instruments.

JD Vance says he would break the law, specifically the Constitution, which if he was VP he would swear to uphold, to help Trump.

“I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors and let the country have a debate about what matters and what kind of election we had in those states. That’s what I would have done. I’ve said it many times.”

He would commit a crime for Trump.

He is Trump over America.

And the brazenness by which he expresses his hatred should alarm everyone.

The fascists trying to take over? They're definitely white people clinging to power and resisting change that's been coming since the Civil War, but they get their POWER from the people who cannot change. The MEN (increasingly of all colors) who want to go back to the world where women couldn't get a checking account without them.
