    I just moved back here recently. It is bad. I happen to live in one of the very few blue areas in the whole fucking state. I actually like our little area right in the middle of OKC. However, the rest of the state can take a flying fuck. Those primary ads between Cole and that douche bag who actually lives in Texas are about to drive me crazy. Between just watching live TV for sports and the weather, I think I see one of those ads at least 20 times a day (some days easily over 50).

    That's not any different than here in Dallas. We're thankfully solidly blue but you go just a little bit North on 75 and it's MAGA heaven up there. The ads are all about who can lick Trump and Abbott's taints the most. It's going to be really interesting when this Trump era is actually over how these morons will go on functioning. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the right is doing everything they complained the left was doing with "the cult of Obama". They were so desirous for a cult hero that they made this sham of a conservative their leader. 

    So funny how different areas are... different.  In my part of rural Colorado, there were large amounts of MAGA/Trump stuff displayed everywhere in 2016 and 2020.  Not nearly so much now.  I still hope it means something.

    Oh cool. I like him. 

    Yeah, that was quite the protest to stop the certification of the 2020 election.  But worse than the protestors were the people who organized the whole event and incited people to riot in an attempt to stop the transfer of governance.  Anyway, good on you for having those convictions, and I am sure they will help you make the appropriate decision of who to vote for in November given your core values.

    Look at LR Baggs. I have the Venue and love it but it’s not small. I’ve heard good things about the Para and the Session as well and they are smaller.

    All the dudes on Acoustic Guitar Forums swear by the Alix by Grace Designs as the holy grail. It’s a pedal though not really small and it’s $800. But apparently it’s the shizzle.

    Thanks, a used Para might work at my price point.  I've got an acoustic gig set up for Friday's Memorial Day through Labor Day, so putting together a minimal pedalboard for it, with Pigtronix Infinity 3 looper, a TC Helicon Mic Mechanic and some pre-amp pedal.  Not much room for additional stuff, so ideally the preamp would have a reverb knob but I could perhaps add a mini reverb pedal if the preamp were small enough.

    The Nux Optima Air has the perfect feature set for me at a pretty cheap price, but I am not sure its worth a shit.

    Robert Plant and David Gilmour have expressed their support for the children of Steve Marriott, who are currently in a battle with his estate over AI-generated music.


    The children of the late Humble Pie and Small Faces frontman are currently in a dispute with the singer’s estate to prevent the release of music made by artificial intelligence in his name.

    What are the facts? This country is worse off since Biden took office? And don’t blame “COVID”. That was all fake bullshit pushed by liberals too. Enjoy your vaccinations!

    That the 2020 election was not stolen.  You asked me how Biden got 80 million votes.  Here was my response.

    Quote

    By people being disgusted with Donald Trump.  Please tell me how Biden didn't?  Are you in Mike Lindell's inner circle and have seen the evidence of voter fraud that cost Donald Trump the election?  Because 62 law suits were brought challenging the 2020 election results and there was no evidence presented to substantiate those claims:

    Nearly all the suits were dismissed or dropped due to lack of evidence or lack of standing,[3] including 30 lawsuits that were dismissed by the judge after a hearing on the merits.[4] Among the judges who dismissed the lawsuits were some appointed by Trump himself.[5] Judges, lawyers, and other observers described the suits as "frivolous"[6] and "without merit".[7][8] In one instance, the Trump campaign and other groups seeking his reelection collectively lost multiple cases in six states on a single day.[9] Only one ruling was initially in Trump's favor: the timing within which first-time Pennsylvania voters must provide proper identification if they wanted to "cure" their ballots. This ruling affected very few votes,[10]and it was later overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.[11]

    Trump, his attorneys, and his supporters falsely[12] asserted widespread election fraud in public statements, but few such assertions were made in court.[13] Every state except Wisconsin[14] met the December 8 statutory "safe harbor" deadline to resolve disputes and certify voting results. The Trump legal team had said it would not consider this election certification deadline as the expiration date for its litigation of the election results.[15][16][17] Three days after it was filed by Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, the U.S. Supreme Court on December 11 declined to hear a case supported by Trump and his Republican allies asking for electoral votes in four states to be rejected.[18]

    So given all that, why do you believe the election was stolen?

    So I'll ask you again, on what basis do you believe the 2020 election was stolen?  Tell me how you arrived at that informed opinion, because Donald Trump is indicted and will be going on trial for his efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election.

    Just ignore the obvious troll, for fuck's sake.

    No. I'm going to confront him with facts, if for no other reason than to chronicle that the bullshit is in fact bullshit.
