Godzilla is just Raymond Burr prepping to humiliate Hamilton Burger on every episode of Perry Mason.

Not the Burr version.

Thank you. He doesn't really add anything worthwhile to this film.

I have the original Gojira on DVD. I bought it at K-Mart, back when K-Mart was a thing.

Alas, I am almost certainly going to miss it -- I'll have arrived in Houston earlier that day, and will probably be doing something with Dad.

No, Burr was added later into the original. We are doing the original.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it was recently on TCM, it’s really good!

Burr was added after he shot Hamilton.

He didn't really shoot him! He just happened to be in the room where it happened. As it happens.

These motherfuckers better line up behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Unite the party, Kumbaya and shit, but I will not forget. Looking at you Adam Schiff, stuck with another DiFi, but you will never be president.

OK I converted my old Bush-era Spotify playlist "Vs. The Man" to a Youtube playlist. It made me feel better back then. Bush was an asshole and Obama was breathing down his neck. It does kind of tell a story.

It's simple fact. Joe Biden has the greatest likelihood of defeating Trump ANYBODY else will have a much lower probability of winning. Dems calling for him to drop out should just put on their MAGA hats and be done with it.

Pollsters are working on it, and it seems to be moving in that direction. Admittedly it is my opinion I referenced Presidential Historian Allan Lichtman in an earlier post. He shares that opinion. In my conversations with undecided voters, I have ascertained that this has really pushed them towards Trump., Not a huge sampling, but enough to really frighten me, A Trump victory will be disastrous for both the USA and the World. The "immunity" ruling will make him unstoppable as POTUS Now, as long as it is an "official act" he can shoot people on Fifth Ave., and don't think for a little minute that he wouldn't This man is a monster devoid of any sense of morality. It is going to be close, and WE must avoid any misstep that has any potential of giving him the slightest edge.

I disagree that others couldn’t win as easily but they just need to make a final choice and get behind it

I'd agree, IF we had made the change a year ago. Doing it at this late date creates chaos.

Trump thrives on chaos, like any demon .

And the end of the playlist is a remix of the first song on the list. Chris Joss's techno remix of Joe Bataan's Latin funk Chick-a-boom - the incident that started the revolution.

I've heard for years that the only political party that actually exists is the Money Party.

Yet here is Money going after a Democratic president, who is going after their wealth.

Maybe there was a difference. Maybe this kind of corrosive cynicism is a self-excuse for not participating in democracy.

Biden wants to make them contribute more to the USA. He wants to narrow the wealth disparity gap. Obviously senile!!

Just a groove I guess. I listened to this list while coding, so I guess this is like revolutionary coding-friendly music.
