@mcfate 🤣

@mcfate I agree that must be true for many, especially GOP peers who once railed against him, and who now suckle in the hope of obtaining/retaining power.

My comment was aimed at a friend and the group to which she belongs. She is an ardent believer who knows better. She has a great brain but has forgotten (or denied?) the basic tenets of her belief system.

Like so many others, she now wallows in the muck and darkness, trading her soul for a love of the man of lawlessness.

It's killing me.

We're drowning in a sea of lies, and people who should know better have chosen to ignore and even promote the lies, because they worship and adore the boy who "speaks his mind".

They love the man-child who lies to their face every day.

They love the one who believes that the laws of the country he wishes to "lead" do not apply to him, and he has proven it time and time again by doing whatever he wants, breaking any laws he chooses, and getting away with it.

I brook no part of this delusion.

@jdtasker Gaaahhhhhhhh! 😱

@tgraph52 I keep explaining to my (close) relatives and a few friends who talk about how TFG is helping. I point out to them that he and Vance are LYING when they say China has paid the US "millions and billions of dollars" in tariffs.

Liars.

Almost all tariffs are paid by US importers and US companies when the products enter the USA. NOT BY THE EXPORTER.

I explain how this generally results in US consumers paying higher prices for goods.

In their cult-addled minds, it does not compute.

@MrGoat

I don't get it.

@Bix It almost seems like there's, I dunno, some sort of rules about accepting advertising or something. Weird.

@ReneeVoiceBrand @MrGoat
That one is by far the worst earworm (for me, anyway)

So... thank to both of you.

@th3j35t3r 🤣

@thewebrecluse Everyone I know seemed to hate this movie. I thought it was great fun.

OK, just one more from my country jag.

I vividly remember this one playing in a darkened roller rink (ask your dad/grandpa) when the couples-only time would start (ask your mom/grandma).

I was 11 years old and wheeled all around the place looking for a girl I knew, because I wanted to ask her if she would go out and skate with me.

Never found her (her parents had already picked her up), so yeah, the song was doubly sad.

A song I would hum to my baby boy to comfort him and help him get back to sleep, though I didn't know what song it was.

Years later I hummed it to my mom, asking if she knew it.

She looked at me in surprise and said it was the song she would sing to me when I was a baby.

Probably not the most appropriate song to hum to your newborn child, but I guess it was popular a few years before I was born.

So here's Jim Reeves with "He'll Have to Go"

Fact: You won't hear many country or bluegrass picks from me.

But my Saturday just took an unexpected lateral jag into an old playlist.

So here is Kathy Mattea with "Love Chooses You"

Yes there is something you can do my love
Won't you help me through these troubled times
And serve to remind
That everything is gonna be alright
Despite my fighting bitter tears
These are the very best years

"Very Best Years" by The Grays

How it rambles 'round the moon
A let-go-of balloon
Nothing is forever
everything is soon

Hold your head up high.

I prefer the Laoganma so far, but now I will look for Mr. Bing. Thanks!

Here is how my daily musical journey is going this drizzly pop Saturday:
