@RealJamesWoods Surely his momma is proud of him because it looks as though he’s in a new or very clean pair of undies. However, he does look old enough to have transitioned to boxers years ago.

[DC Williams @DCWilliams]

@Sassafrass_84 No, no, Ms. Sass! The key word is “… hitting …” which should be taken in the literal and not figurative sense for there is absolutely no way anyone - and I do mean “anyone” - having a proper mind would wish to, um, seriously rub noses with him.

Therefore, it’s a ruse.

@DebraDosch @Sassafrass_84 Ma. Dosch: Ma’am, I’m doing what I can but as an old fart there is little more I can undertake on my account to return this country to the high ground it once unquestionably occupied. The ball is in your court, now. Go and kick butt.

@Sassafrass_84 The sadder I get while reflecting upon this country’s origin, its growth in the world and witnessing one political party’s efforts at subterfuge, lyin’ and cheatin’ while doing all it can to micmic what General Party Secretary Khrushchev pledged decages ago: “We will bury you.”

@adamcarolla Ai video suggestion: Have Hanoi Jane hand over an ack-ack to Bass and, after firing a round or two, Bass vacates her gun chair whereupon the the two can laugh, clap with glee as did Hanoi Jane way back when.

@Sassafrass_84 Did I Tell You The One About …

[DC Williams @DCWilliams]

The captain; Captain Kangaroo! Too bad Mr. Greenjeans wasn’t pictured, as well!

I spent many a morning watching both and, when I cut school cuz I was “sick,” the show was definitely on our one black-and-white TV.

However, one today often misses the subtleties of the shows back then: Introduced and practiced was the structural parts of the “white” culture, in that “Mr.” and “Mrs.” and “Miss” were regularly applied to show characters upon introduction and forever used from that point. There was none of the casual first-name usage of today (which grates my soul).

Later. DCWms.

Well, with XX views and no “Huhs?” then I feel it necessary to ‘splain myself:

1. Why did a Union soldier, assigned to keep uninvited people from inviting themselves into the President’s box - abandon his post at the very moment John Wilkes Booth invited himself into the president’s private area?
2. Edwin Stanton, Lincoln’s second Secretary of War, was implicated decades later in a book written by an avocational historian who asked reasonable questions that were all but dismissed out of hand.
3. My wife and I once owned Stanton’s desk (yes, true) that had been stored for decades in a government warehouse and was bought for next to nothing. What role did Stanton’s desk reveal about Stanton’s involvement? Not a darn thing. But it was a cool desk that was the place where Stanton was believed to have sat when conjuring the assassination.
4. “Reconstruction” Stanton was at odds with Lincoln’s postwar plan for rebuilding a destroyed South. Lincoln wanted the war to end. END. His Secretary of War wished to further flog a clearly defeated South. Stanton won. His plan brought hellfire and brimstones to thousands of people who had nothing to do with a crazed actor’s belief that an assassin’s bullet would somehow cause a clearly defeated South to rise again … and win.

It was Stanton’s postwar actions that caused tens-of-thousands of additional Southern deaths from starvation and deprivation.

It was his actions that caused Southerners like myself to grow up hating Yankees, a frame of mind eventually overcome by this Southerner coming to the realization that there were/are good, God-fearing people in the North, too, but only after I proactively got off Interstate highways and travel the North’s back roads. I am truly glad I did - but only after 40 years of a true, deep dislike of Yankees. What a waste of time and energy better spent on beneficial projects.

Nevertheless, I would like to see and understand what made Stanton tick. And, indeed, did he have a direct connection to Lincoln’s death?

And there we have it, in 5,000 or fewer words!

@BarackObama Mr. President, I sadly find myself wondering if what you’ve stated is an accurate, heartfelt reflection of your thoughts and wisdom or do you say such in an effort to deflect public opinion from an effort to, well, overthrow a duly elected government?

[DC Williams @DCWilliams]

I believe the above to be absolutely essential.

Indeed, already I’ve wondered,“Do the Ai platforms BS me (and others)” - using some sort of algorithm to separate me from the rest of the nutcases - “or are the platforms going to silence me because I don’t fit a ‘preferred’ narrative?”

[DC Williams @DCWilliams]

@MalcolmNance Dammit Mr. Nance! If anything be on your inadequate side it is a distinct inability to express yourself as have you w/, say, a .50! Made ol’ John Moses proud, you did. - DC.

Ms. Sass: As a matter of locale; as a matter of llamas; as a matter of political and theological thought; and, as a matter of “etc.,” you and your family as well as me and my family, already are members of the same tribe and there exists little that can or will change such because I am as proud of my family as you are proud of yours.

That I would, while standing in our state’s capitol hallways at the end of 1976’s legislative session, decide then and there to blow off decades - if not generations - of familial political connections and willfully travel another one of life’s humongous number of pathway choices, isn’t much different than the intersection through which you now travel.

As official old fart - today filled more with incredibly wonderful memories of times now past than future promises - for the most part it’s been real and quite enjoyable, Ma’am, to have traveled with you - however brief in the grand scheme of things - these last couple or three years, here, within the nether world of X (Thanks in part to Da Big Guy, a.k.a., @elonmusk).

Should I be fortunate enough to benefit from X’s continued here-and-there communication with you then the honor truly is mine. However, should we never again share even the smallest most inconspicuous thought, then I will still have been forever fortunate to have shared the moments that preceded these.

Thank You, Ms. Sass (as well as Mr. Sass, who shared her with us while riding the wire),

@garrytan Fear is the driving force herein.

In the early 1970’s car engines were emasculated because of people who feared pollution.

Today consumers can buy everyday electric cars which by comparison make even the honking engines of yesteryear look anemic.

Things change.

Commander, this “misfire”reminds me of the Third Reich’s labor (incarcerated Jews) who in WW Eleven (think folks) willfully sabotaged war matériel so that the so-called superior race would lose.

The folks building Russia’s munitions in the present may as well be prisoners, too.

@RealJamesWoods OKAY! Wordplay! I like it!

@Sassafrass_84 How about a truly troubled person?

[DC Williams @DCWilliams]

@elonmusk Mr. Musk, This Florida Boy has an urgent need to purchase (cash) one of your new mini-houses. How to proceed, please?

Thank You. - DC

@Sassafrass_84 AOC is on video - just saw it again earlier today - advocating that "revolution" and, bottom line, the replacement of our current Constitution with a "new one."

Capitalist Brandon Lehman gave AOC a bunch of communista room on his yesterday broadcast.
