Bessent exemplifies my favorite form of the political animal. He’s an articulate, clubbable, well-coiffed, bloodthirsty, savage beast. You love to see it.
Man... your records were CENTRAL and VITAL and SEMINAL to my musical tastes, my musical values and aesthetics. I still regularly listen to your music and greatly appreciate you, Lloyd Cole!
You rock, man, and you've been a big part of my musical life...
Also, you once played in New Orleans and I called up from the audience and suggested you do a cover of "Wichita Lineman"
You turned to a guy in your band and said something like, "We did that one time and this guy must've been there" and then you said you did an awful job of it or something and didn't play it.
I actually had never heard you ever play the song, but thought you'd do a cool cover of it.
Thank you again and I wish you and your family the very best, Lloyd...

"Health experts urged protesters not to sing and shout to reduce the threat of person-to-person transmission. And they cautioned that police tactics such as tear gas and pepper spray could exacerbate the situation by prompting people to cough and gasp for air."
Dozens of public health and disease experts have signed an open letter in support of the nationwide anti-racism protests.
"White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19," they wrote.

@HowellChamp Yes, end Jim Crow
The rest of it is an accumulated massive Unintended Consequence of economic stagnation, absent fathers, baby mamas, violence, drug use, incarceration...
All the things black activists blame white people for are a massive 'self-own' with terriblle results
A great many more black Americans would have been living a more abundant, safe, vibrant and gratifying life but for the Civil Rights Movement and the black activist stranglehold on the Federal Gov't
What price has been paid for the CRM and who in the big picture has paid it?
If not for...
What an amazing story black Americans would have had
On top of all the impressive accomplishments by black Americans how much more would have happened for how many more but for gov't intervention
Black Americans are the richest black people on Earth
Black consumers, workers, and communities have benefitted for generations from private corporations, the free market, and capitalism
This sh*t gets old, boring, stale, and more untruthful with every passing day
Do these people have a single original thought in their collective brains?
(No, they do not)
@vanz1965@TheHood72425082 Nope... "white America" did not "steal wealth and opportunities" from black people...
not any more than anybody else has moved from oppression to freedom, from limits to possibilities
Black people can live ANY LIVES THEY WANT with every aspiration, ambition, desire, dreams
Two things can be true at once, and indeed, the Democrats and black activists have themselves in a bind for the very reason you astutely pointed out
"Black Power" has done little but create violent and ruined neighborhoods for black Americans, despite the fact that black Americans have every option and opportunity open to them as anyone else
What you deciphered there is the very reason black activists and Democrats have no integrity... because everyone knows that their ridiculous activism hurts only themselves. Meanwhile, they could actually be going out and making ANY lives for themselves they want to make
Good call
