Okay, so we Boomers were witness to when America was great. That'd be the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare, Medicaid, The Summer of Love, Woodstock, desegregation of public schools, The Freedom Riders, MLK's I have a Dream Speech, the Apollo 11 landing, Roe v.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign.
He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.
Just rewatched Best in Show (thanks, wonker who mentioned it was on Netflix). Didn’t know that Eugene Levy (with Christopher Guest) wrote it. Really held up well, and such a perfect portrait of the special kind of craziness that is dog show subculture…if you ever have a chance to go to a dog show, go. RIP Catherine O’Hara.
Like, I haven't listened to Bad Bunny yet, and I have no idea if I'll like his music, but I am keenly aware of how MEGA popular he is. It's so weird watching MAGAts try to just...rewrite reality?
Yeah....they're over there freaking out about this "weirdo nobody who doesn't speak English" and my 80 year old mom who doesn't get out much these days is all " he's so huge even I've heard of him!"

Plain and simple, Florida wants to kill people.

There isn't a single fucking gottdamn competent person working for Trump. *NONE*
She's going to do things to that puppy that will make it wish it had been given to Noem.
Lieu always in with the incandescent burns.
Almost George Takei level shade....
Not to put too fine a point on it, but the top stripe on the American flag is red, not white, as shown in their little announcement flier.
White, red, and blue like the Russian flag?
That is an *excellent* spot and you're absolutely correct

I see she's been going to the Malkin-Tantaros School of Perma-Sneer.
And doom.
and overproccessed skin...
This Gen X geezer is low-key obsessed with Bad Bunny. Can't wait for the Benito Bowl! Ay! Ay! Ay!

It's a fantastic film.
A friend of mine said she stayed up and watched it twice last night.
I don’t know why the left isn’t as passionate about protecting voting rights as republicans are about protecting gun rights.
We just don't do the monolith thing as well they do...
"I'm sorry Hal..."....
Are we not? Or do you have certain unconcerned lefties in mind?
We don't stage armed take overs of wildlife refuges because we're scared of losing the right to vote.
There will definitely be unarmed takeovers of the streets on March 28.
We might even hit that magical 3.5% number they keep talking about.
I'm getting Spam in Polish.
Is it at least made with genuine Polish pork?

Thiel needs to be in prison and Palantir dismantled.

Why is that weird? It's what they're always doing.
Yeah....they're over there freaking out about this "weirdo nobody who doesn't speak English" and my 80 year old mom who doesn't get out much these days is all " he's so huge even I've heard of him!"
Go Mom!
Green Day is opening and they fucking hate trump...should be fire!
