Why do y'all keep talking in the future tense about this? We just experienced it with the Bernie or Bust/Never Hillary crowd. This is not something that might happen in the future. It happened, and it occurred without pause over the course of the entire primary and general election.

Yeah. I've seen videos of him playing a more traditional setup. I suspect the stripped down kit was a statement in itself. Kicking up more dust with two drums than any of the overwrought, glammed up show-biz cowboy hat acts and their convoy of semi trucks full of gear.

Desiring that led to the situation we have now. I don't like ideological purity. But I also don't like Booker's BS excuse for his vote. He should have explained the nuance, rather than making up some nonsense.

That drummer plays like he gets his cymbals for free.

I'm not a progressive, and I think Booker's career in politics is threatened over this. The reason Booker is the only one who took heat for this, which the opinion piece above completely ignores, is that Booker has seen by many over the last several years as one of the bright young hopes for the D party, unlike the rest of the Ds who voted as he did.

Looks like Sturgill was not joking when he said he was coming to burn down the entire country music industry.

There goes one of the D candidates for 2020. His political career should be over if he thinks we're dumb enough to believe Canadian pharmaceuticals are less safe than those we can buy here.

Maybe you could narrow it down by looking at the performance lineup for the inauguration. Surely it's by one of those acts.

July 27, 2004.

Not really. Obama had been in congress and in the state house, and was the star of the 2004 D convention before he ran for president. I wouldn't call that an "unknown." That's more like "rising star."

It means pinning our hopes on a new person coming out of the woodwork probably a losing strategy.

The wait and see approach is going to fail.

By far, the most likely thing that will remove Trump from office is his own resignation. Frankly, I've been predicting this since he won the nomination. But if that doesn't end up happening, who is going to impeach him? And who is going to defeat him in 2020?

Textbook might be a better choice of words than going through the motions.

Why not?

It goes without saying that Trump took a look at those two women and made a derisive comment about the one on the left for not wearing a skirt as short as the one on the right.

Half? That's wildly optimistic since absolutely nothing has stuck yet. The guy is possibly the best con man who has ever lived. He's playing all of us like fiddles, and so far, nobody has figured out how to do a damn thing about it.

"Send me a bill for what?" This motherfucker doesn't even know that bill is a term for legislation. He only knows it in the context of money.

"We have the greatest computer minds."

Derek pretty much admits this in the WTF interview. I don't remember his exact words, except he says Clapton has (infrequent) moments where he really "lights it up." The implication being that most of the time Clapton's just going through the motions.

What a crock. Trump CAN control the aspects of his appearance that people make fun of...his hair and his orange makeup. Equating hair styles and cosmetic choices with a physical or mental handicap is disgusting.

Huh, I've never heard of Joan Shelly, but I watched her Tiny Desk Concert. Sounds really nice. I'm intrigued to hear her record.

The Pops Staples record is far and away the best non-Wilco project that Tweedy's name is attached to.

I was so disappointed in the Construction of Light tour that I lost any interest in seeing this band again, but the clips I've seen of the three drummer lineup have been so strong that I will definitely go to this if it comes close to Atlanta.

The OA. For me, this was the TV equivalent of something going in one ear and out the other. I didn't get it at all, or care about any of the characters.
