@def_leppar20044 80's Hair Metal, specially everything after 1985.

@def_leppar20044 I could listen to ALL of the sixties, but only up to 1984 for the 80's.

@def_leppar20044 Damn the questions you ask are so good they hurt.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

The role of the Democratic Party is to intentionally lose. This prescient message from 2024 breaks it down.

@sketcher1223 @Noirchick1 the high-pitched voice is what people THOUGHT it would be.

@RolloTreadway62 @Noirchick1 Yeah I thought it be more high and squeaky. It came out like more like Ethel Barrymore.

@SarahIronside6 Because she didnt even really SAY she was gonna fight fascism. She said she was gonna be "America's Top Cop" and forge the world's "most lethal military". And no one who is seriously gonna fight fascism, would be endorsed by Dick Cheny.

Albert Einstein and Hannah Arendt's 1948 letter to the New York Times: They saw the creation of a Jewish ethnostate in Palestine at the expense of its indigenous Muslim and Christian population as a profound injustice and moral catastrophe.

Einstein and the other signatories explicitly compared Begin’s Herut (Freedom Party), born from the Irgun, to Nazis and Fascists, warning that their ideology of racial superiority and violent ethnic nationalism posed a grave danger to the moral and political future of the new state.

Full text of Einstein and Hannah Arendt's letter to the New York Times:
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES
December 2, 1948
Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly created State of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy, and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections and to cement political ties with Zionist elements in the United States. Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world could condone, even by silence, the appearance of such a party in Israel.
Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultra-nationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other fascist parties, they have been used to break strikes, and they have encouraged demoralization among labor. In their actions they have been marked by cruelty and contempt for human life.
During the recent past, they have systematically terrorized the Arab population, attacked Jewish settlements, and sabotaged the rescue of displaced Jews from Europe.
A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war and had even fought off Arab bands that wanted to use it as their base. On April 9 (1948), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants — 240 men, women, and children — and kept a few of them alive to parade through the streets of Jerusalem.
Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent an apology to King Abdullah of Transjordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of it, widely publicized it, and invited foreign correspondents to view the corpses and the ravaged village.
The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party. Within the Jewish community they have attempted to institute a reign of terror, have beaten up Jews who opposed them, and have, by gangster methods, terrorized the population.
It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world could condone, even by silence, the appearance of such a party in Israel.
The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a warning to the American people concerning a danger to be found in the Freedom Party in Israel, a danger to which the leadership of Menachem Begin gives the greatest emphasis.
(Signed):
Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Sidney Hook, Rabbi Jessurun Cardozo, Irma Lindheim, and 22 other Jewish scholars, writers, and public figures.

@ContraPoints We have 2 relevant parties in the US, one of the right, & one of the far right. That the left's interests are served by supporting the former against the latter is laughable. Electing neoliberal sellouts like Clinton, Obama & Biden doesn't block the far right, it strengthens it.

@ScamNetwon @Anthonysmdoyle Why did Dem leadership openly advocate against punishment for Trump during his J6 impeachment and Senate trial?

Why did Dems ignore the 14th Amendment that bars insurrectionists from office and would have given GOP jurors something other than Trump's ego to worry about?

[Bumdog Torres @Bumdog]

@ScamNetwon @turnerwingo @Anthonysmdoyle How can you say the Republicans are weak, when they have been trample over the Dems even when the Dems are in "power". And in less then a year they were able to achieve 60% of THEIR agenda (project 2025).

@popcorninbed I thought I saw every Clint Eastwood movie growing up in the 70's. But one I finally saw in 2017 was "Beguiled", which Sofia Coppola made a remake of. It was mind blowing, that I didnt know it existed before that.
