In a fit of desperate generosity, Brandon gave us that $6 he stuffed in his back pocket
a few years back. Or was it $60? Now we can buy back our freedom on a long- term
Remember November 20!! WHY?
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Wed, 11/20/2024 - 5:00amNovember almost rhymes with "remember and 20 (twenny) almost rhymes with money. So? November 20 = "remember money". Before dedollarization wipes it out entirely, money is still what this site runs on, money and Johnny's blood, sweat, and tears. I have a hunch it would always be welcome, but 11/20 is a good day to send some if you have some to spare because it is a handy memnonic. If you ain't got the dough to spare, that's cool, just something to keep in mind for when you do.

Since election day I've noticed a shift in the media in its attempts to manipulate Trump's appointments to various cabinet and administration posts by "leaking" picks he has already made that turn out to be erroneous. Pompeo being the first.

Lessons Learned?
Trump seems to have selected Trump loyalists for his cabinet. Many are Israel first people. There's plenty of China and Iran war mongers in the group as well. No doubt we'll have to wait and see, first if they make it through the senate after McConnell installed Thune as a poison pill, and secondly if they live up to their claims of challenging the system. Did Trump learn from his first term of disastrous appointments?
Album of the Week 11-16-24
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 11/16/2024 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
Another week, some more great blues! Starting out there's a Stax-era album from Albert King followed by some great old recordings of Kansas City jazz and blues pianist Jay McShann. After that we've got a live album from the Neville Brothers, blues-rock albums from Redbone and Peter Green. There's an album from (The Band's drummer, mandolinist and singer) Levon Helm and we finish up with an album from Memphis musician Don Nix.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Saturday Open Thread - 11/16/24: Odds and Ends
Submitted by on the cusp on Sat, 11/16/2024 - 7:00amGood morning, good people!
Well, another week of trying to figure out all these Trump appointees and what they will do that's good or bad. My POV is they will do as they are told to do by Deep State, as always. Still, I have foolishly devoted hours of my waking moments speculating, which is exactly was Deep Stated planned.
I smell a rat.
