The useful idiots who elected this stinking Marxist as POTUS cling bitterly to the fatuous hope that he will act with integrity.

i am SLIGHTLY better at boybands on Songpop than i am on Hairbands. i SUCK at hairbands, they ALL sound alike to me—none of the songs really stick out to me, so i am not even capable of LEARNING them— Tesla, Whitesnake, Poison, etc. What was i doing then that i don’t know them? wasn’t it the 80s? I know other 80s music.

Yes, the 80s. Boy bands were, as they are now, pre-packaged pap for preteen girls.
Weren’t you busy with having kids then? Tmight excuse you not being as in tune with the music as someone who was in high school and college then.

Here’s a hint for identifying Tesla: if you feel the overwhelming urge to give the singer a throat lozenge, it’s Tesla.

this kind of thing makes me want to scream my head off. as you know, i got the flu shot this year. First time ever. But only because i was truly worried about being sick for upcoming events i want to be well for, namely the argument and the trip. i wasn't avoiding it bc i thought it was a gov't inspired program to infect the citizenry with a toxic chemical cocktail, but only because i had been on a 12 year streak of no flu without the shot and didn't want to take a chance by varying my routine.
