#161 Re: The Sunset Strip » GNREvo's Favourite Album of the Century so far, FINAL ROUND » 239 weeks ago
A quick, off the top of my head top 10 of the 90s.....
New Radicals - Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too
WOW! A fellow New Radicals fan? This is one my favorite albums of all time, both because of its quality and because of when it came out in my life.
It really is a fantastic slice of 90s pop-alt-rock. The singer at various times sounds like a young Jagger or Bono or George Michael. It's got the one hit that everybody heard, but the whole album is so freakin' well done: Lyrically, production, mix, sequencing, the whole ball of wax.

James, a hairline fracture of a foot that only requires a walking boot isn't a big deal to me. If this happened to Trump, we wouldn't even know. They'd keep it secret.
Like, why did he go to Walter Reed last year unexpectedly? Something far worse likely happened to spur a rushed trip for tests and exams. Hell, Pence was on "standby" to take over.

How long is this shit going to go on? He lost. It wasn't close. He lost worse than Hillary. What's continuing to go on now is harming the nation, now and in the future. I'm sad and shocked so many are 1) just brushing this off or 2) going along with it. This is not normal. This is not how we do elections.

#165 Re: The Garden » Holiday Movies/Music » 241 weeks ago
You graduated one year before me if you were a senior in 1990. I didn't get into Home Alone until I had kids of my own.
I am kind of a Christmas freak. I love the holiday season. I have tons of traditions and movies and music I listen to.
As a metal fan, I of course love Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Hard to believe it's basically the band Savatage with more traditional/Broadway singers and the whole country has eaten it up for 20+ years. Their tour is canceled so they are doing a $30 livestream this year. Tickets are usually $75 to $200, so I jumped at this. It'll be a pro-shot Blu-Ray production, basically, which for $30 is about right on.
There are a lot of movies I generally watch this time of year. Home Alone I and II, Elf, A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Scrooged and A Nightmare Before Christmas being the perennial musts. There are others, like Office Christmas Party or The Night Before that are "adult" and less cheesy. I really like the war movie Joyeux Noel, about the Christmas Eve truce during WWI that brought opposing soldiers together to celebrate.

They have found votes in 3 counties so far in Georgia. All in favor of trump. Hmmm
And votes in other counties in favor of Biden. Dude it’s over. Trump lost. It was a fair election, no evidence of fraud. No way he’s making up 14k in Georgia or tens of thousands anywhere else. He’s done, and he knows it.

I don't really think Biden wanted to, but saying so held him no benefit at the time.
This would be the SCOTUS turn that really sets Trump off.
The Supreme Court seems likely to leave in place most of the Affordable Care Act, including protections for pre-existing health conditions and subsidized insurance premiums. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh seem unwilling to strike down the law. https://t.co/5Q6tMYPUav

This says it all. There have always been parts of the GOP platform, philosophy and agenda that I agreed with. When I lived in Indiana, voting for Richard Lugar was a proud moment for Hoosiers across the board. Now, just fuck 'em all. They are playing with fire.
In 2016, Trump won MI/PA/WI by 77K votes, got 306 EVs and received a concession speech from Clinton + WH meeting from Obama

In 2020, Biden won same states by 214K+ votes, is on track for same 306 EVs and most of GOP is refusing to recognize outcome https://t.co/wYZEJ1SXHA

Esper said if his replacement is a yes man... God help us all.
I think it's time for Trump's remaining base to abandon ship.
“At the end of the day, it’s as I said — you’ve got to pick your fights,” he said. “I could have a fight over anything, and I could make it a big fight, and I could live with that — why? Who’s going to come in behind me? It’s going to be a real ‘yes man.’ And then God help us.”

Don’t rule out Trump. The DOJ is involved now. Bill already did one letter impeachment. What will Barr do for this?
Here’s his memo directive:
"I authorize you to pursue substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities ...”
Let’s translate that.
Authorize you to pursue=This is already your job, but I have to satisfy Trump.
Substantial=Don’t waste your time with the dreck this administration has presented so far.
Allegations=Existing arguments are unfounded.
