Adjusted for Narrative Accuracy...

The sad part is, all Marcus had to go against Trump, was cartoons of Trump being a big fat orange crying baby, on Putin's shoulder being burped and pampered.

It must be nice to have the fucking luxry to protest the best Presidency in over 100 years, with nothing more than 4th grade potty humor.
Real fucking nice, it's a fucking shame Trump never gave them real problems.

It is a fact that every man sees prince Harry as a pussywhipped submissive cuck.

Everybody knows that this is a car wreck. The only person happy about it is Jimmy Carter because now he's got a shot at being the second-worst president of the last hundred years.

At least Carter didn't start a war like Bush did.

People that say Jimmy Carter was the worst president in recent history have no appreciation of how ABYSMAL George W. Bush and Barack Obama were.

Of course, we didn't have 24x7 propaganda calling itself "news" back in 1976-1980.

It was William Clinton that allowed our news media system to be destroyed, he deregulated it. Before that, one group could only own a small percentage of anything calling itself news, and it was broken up by region.

Jimmy Carter was one of the BETTER presidents we had but we had lots of inflation, that's because the Federal Reserve bankrupted the country AGAIN in 1971 with the Nixon Shock.

have to agree with you on this. I don't think Carter started 20-year wars.

I didn't know that, but it looks correct.

I don't want to bore you with it, but there's no difference between the two parties. Clinton was a Neocon, Powell is a Neocon, his son was corrupt, all our politicians are corrupt.

Our government is just a group of crime families.

Doesn't matter, the FCC was bullshit to start with, the Internet replaced it, there is a takeover of that, we'll decentralize it.

One of the greatest bands musically speaking (though somewhat boring on the outside). We covered that song back in the days, always a good time.

You were in a band?

Patrick says

You were in a band?

Just school and student cover bands. The school band was Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, beastie boys, zz top and such, not particularly talented but loud and fun! We had a pretty Irish girl named Gaelle briefly who sung zombie by the cranberries very beautifully (I think she was also in a choir), made up for our lack of seriousness ;) The student band was more moderate stuff, a mix of covers from dire straits to Neil Young, ugly kid Joe, cameo, Doobie bros, nirvana, radiohead, oasis etc. Good times. There was a competing school band with much more talent who covered police etc., but they were mostly uncared for since we were the rebels and the punks went moshing nuts so that the janitor was instructed to cut off our power when the teachers had enough of us. We also rented a truck one night during a graduation party on the woods in the pouring rain and stayed under the cover until later that night when everyone was boozed up then they suddenly pulled the cover, turned the lights on and we opened with a brutally loud Marshall infused salvo of Slayer's skeletons of society. Beer bottles flew everywhere and there was an instant mosh pit in the rain. Shit like that would be impossible to pull off today.

I will say one of the best songs to play live is Metallica's For whom the bell tolls. The guitar riffs are made for live shredding and the drummer can go apeshit on the drum break in between the verse lines (when vocals, guitars and base completely pull back).
