Pat Metheny - The Falcon and the Snowman (track 4)

I agree Dr Ooijer. And I have never heard that artist or track, so will go and have a listen.

The enablers and that includes twitter should be ashamed, and frankly resign

@Judy - 45% of Republicans supported the storming of our Capitol. They support mob rule. Extremely troubling.

There were riots in Washington state for 100 plus days in a row and NO one said a damn thing === But get close to the Capitol and all hell breaks out !!!! just depends on which side of the political side you are on i guess lol

I guess that depends on your definition of "riot"
And getting close to the Capitol is different from breaking windows and doors and fighting with police to enter the building.

The world watched and was rightly disgusted. The police response, take selfies and let them in, yet if they had been black there would have been many deaths. Only goes to prove the inherent racism. Really troubling.

i thought inflammatory political rhetoric in this forum was forbidden. I thought wrong. On a more relevant note - this was a nice medium puzzle.

This post is not open for debate. This is how I see it and as an American in good standing it is my right with free speech ( at least for now) I have listened to everyone else’s hatred, rhetoric and outright lies for the last four years, so now I am having my say. If you don’t like it, you know where the delete button is.
Let me be clear, I am not a Biden fan. I think he is corrupt, a liar, a racist bigot, is in bed with China, and probably suffering from dementia. He has done nothing to improve anything in his 47-year political career.
But what has Trump done in the past four years?
The "arrogant" man in the White House brokered four Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce.
The "buffoon" in the White House is the first president that has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.
The "racist" in the White House has had the greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment for the black and latino population of ANY other president. Ever.
The "liar" in the White House has exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.
The "buffoon" in the White House turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.
The "fool" in the White House neutralized the North Koreans and stopped them from sending missiles toward Japan and threatening the West Coast of the US.
The "xenophobe" in the White House turned our relationship with the Chinese around, brought hundreds of businesses back to the US, and revived the economy.
This same “clown” lowered your taxes, increased the standard deduction on your IRS return from $12,500 to $24,400 for married couples, and caused the stock market to rise to record levels, positively impacting the retirement accounts of tens of millions of citizens.
The “clown” in the White House fast-tracked the development of multiple COVID vaccines, which are now available or will be soon. And yet we still don't have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations.
The “clown” in the White House rebuilt our military after the Obama administration crippled and irresponsibly fired 214 key generals and admirals in his first year of office.
I get it, you don't like him. Many of you utterly hate and despise him. How special of you. He is serving you and ALL the American people. What are you doing besides calling him names and laughing about him catching the China virus? Some of you were even hoping that COVID would be the cause of his demise. (Ah, the left. The party of “tolerance”. )
Please educate me again as to what Biden has accomplished for America in his 47 years in office, besides making the whole Biden family richer? By the way, where is Hunter?
I’ll take the “clown” any day versus a fork-tongued, smooth-talking, hypocritical, corrupt liar. I want a strong leader who isn’t afraid to kick some butt when needed. I don’t need a fatherly figure. I don’t need a liar. That's what Hollywood, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and the New York Times are for.
Call me a chump, a racist, or part of the basket of deplorables. I do not care!
God bless Donald Trump - the best, most unappreciated president in U.S. history. AND OUR ELECTED PRESIDENT!!

Thank you KnightTime. I agree, an easy medium.

To all: let's be kind to one another. Before shaming an entire nation on the actions of some, please remember that, even if by a slim margin, 53.2% of the population voted not to re-elect Trump and numerous Republicans have stepped up alongside Democrats to denounce these recent assaults on democracy.

Agreed, KnightTime and redshoes. Emotions are high enough right now, we certainly don't need all that rhetoric.

Very well said ellenz

thank you -- it is not rhetoric--- or are you say i have no say?

Let's ease up on the political talk, folks. There are plenty of other (and better) places to have those types of discussions/arguments.
