Or set a Solar standard for the entire system.

They’re also using military and police families too, it’s disgustingly exploitive, but not surprising.

Because the NY Times and other media companies help them spread their misinformation with no pushback?

Nah that movie was about how human men are biologically flawed and that our cock and balls should be internal in some kind of clam shell like thing.

Colbert did a great bit on this beer and advertisement with multiple callbacks all throughout the episode.

The private prison, alcohol, tobacco, gun, and gambling lobbies and police unions are the main opponents to legalization, and they all have far too much power over the rest of us.

I’m 100% behind Biden, but if he wants to cure our growing loneliness and isolation, he can start by legalizing pot and letting pot bars show up as much as regular bars.

We also need some serious investment in community activity centers, safe places for young people, old people, middle aged people, to meet, socialize, and enjoy activities together, within their age groups while also allowing folks to mix with other age groups.

The big problem is the social isolation that began not only with the rise of the Internet, but also with the culture war bullshit, and with parents controlling their children because they are afraid of what they’re seeing on the news every day. We need to find new ways to get people out there mixing again.

Vast improvements in public transportation would help greatly here too, most of the barrier these days is getting to places to do socializing, people can’t count on their family for transportation, cars and everything else is expensive and jobs aren’t paying well, and neither citiies or rural areas are built for easy getting around, outside of the few American cities with solid public transportation systems no American city is very walkable. Also ensure that people aren’t going to get arrested for dumb shit, especially on public transportation, there was just an article this week about all of the money the NYPD is wasting enforcing bus fares when the bus fare machine isn’t functioning properly, just let those people ride and stop hassling poor people.

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are NOT using their religious clout with WISDOM. I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in ‘A,’ ‘B,’ ‘C,’ and ‘D.’ Just who do they think they are?.. I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of “conservatism.”

-U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, 1964 Presidential Campaign

There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me … that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in A, B, C, and D. Just who do they think they are?”

—U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., Congressional Record (Sept. 16, 1981). Born Jan. 1, 1909; died 1998.

Barry Goldwater warned us so long ago, but it wasn’t until the Tea Party that the Alt-Right Nazis and Christian Nationalists really came out of rhe closet and onto the main stage, setting things up for MAGA.

Conservatards: “did you check the genitals? Can I get pics?”

Gary Clarke Jr. Has some good protest songs, especially for a blues musician, including a remake of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young’s Ohio.

Municipal Waste is great for some hardcore, there’s actually a bunch of hardcore bands that have some excellent protest songs.

Then you have Ice-T’s Body Count.

Lamb of God’s albums post-Randy’s time in a Czech prison have been full of social commentary, far more than the earlier albums.

I’ve seen people highlight Killer Mike’s Grammy wins, but his other group Run the Jewels is pretty much the biggest name in protest rap these days.

Then you have Kendrick Lamar, possibly the best rapper of his generation, absolutely one of the greatest story tellers of rap, period.

Overall there’s a lot of pop, metal, rock, rap and other genres who have some prominent names and many lesser known names who are putting out good angry music.

Then you have Ice Cube putting out Arrest the President then proceeding to talk about voting for that same president.🤦‍♂️

System’s whole catalogue really, they’re basically Rage Against the Machine, but with an Armenian twist and flair, love them, but can’t believe the drummer is a MAGAtard.

I’ve always wanted to see Petra in person, definitely some beautiful and historical scenery there.

The King of Jordan has been a long standing US ally, and one of the most stable partners in the region.

I didn’t realize Bogans knew what the Internet was yet…

Shows up to the white house gets tackled by secret service for trying to give Joe a hug while saying “finally found you dad!”

Had a whole gang of dudes like this in the Marines too, you said they’re just built different, I say they’re just nicotine addicts.
