The New Coffee Room

Redact any sitting Presidents.

I saw them in Veterans Stadium in New Haven. They each did a set and then they played a set together. I also saw Chicago headline with Curtis Mayfield one time in New Haven too. I don't remember where--all I remember was that it was outside. Mayfield played first and half the audience got up and walked out when his set was over which left Chicago with a half full auditorium.

Notice the rate increased significantly during the first Trump administration, then dropped markedly during the Biden administration. Clearly the solution was to not have another Trump administration. Boy did America missed that boat.

Seriously, whose job is it to stop black guys from killing each other? Is this the new "white mans burden?"

Good ole' Guv'nor Ron. Always up to some hijinks.

Damn! A 26 page screed about what it's like too hate yourself for being black and for being a woman. I started out reading the paper smirking and wincing but then I kind of started to feel feel sorry for her. In person she probably a very toxic person to know.

It is an interesting read.

Yea, two and done works or therwise you get us an el presidente-for-life and there is nothing good about that. Also, I look at Trump as a placeholder for Vance. It would be nice to have an intelligent person for a change. It's been a long, long time.

Politicians are just freakin' strange.

It gets them every time.

@Jolly said in Quietest Black History Month ever?:

We have a lot of black folk down here. There's been quite a few celebrations and what not going on, some done by local towns and cities, some done by churches.

That's what I've noticed here too. Everyone can have their party, celebrate nicely and have a good time and then go home and get up and go to work the next day. That's the way America should be. All good.

DC is a Sanctuary city.

The pilots right before take off:

Maple syrup also works well in an Old Fashioned in place of simple syrup.

That was one heck of a clown show!

@jon-nyc said in 5% reduction:

Welcome to Donald Trump’s Ronald Reagan's America.

This kind of thing has been going on a long time.

My air conditioner is online and talks to people when I'm sleeping. And sometimes it gets very, very cold at night.

That woman's kid is being tortured. You gotta know it. Kids are kids and they are embarassed by the slightest little things and harrassed for the slightest things.

this is really crazy stuff. It's bad enough in NYC without the illegals voting.

I think it's Vance. The "no" was to prevent Vance from getting to uppity.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Trump and your expectations:

God alone knows which peanut gallery he is trying to play to with this rubbish.

Yes, and that's kind of the trouble. Trump always leads with the Barnum and Bailey. I'm happy with 90% of the things he's doing here in the United States. All that DEI and Trans stuff needed to go, but most of that is just a change in vibe not Presidential fiat. And maybe there are whole department of government that need to go--and if they are just fluff they should disappear--but it wouldn't hurt to look things over a bit, there may be some things worth keeping. Who knows? Not Trump and not the American people. But that's all our (that is, America's) problem.

On the other hand, I'm not too happy with Trump's forign policy overall. We have friends and we should keep them, we have enemies and we should beat them, and we should not confuse the two.
