  1. Synchronicity. This past weekend was the 31st anniversary of my first Phish shows. Back in ‘93, 4/20 wasn’t a date of significance. At the time I felt I was late to the party. I posted setlists earlier in this thread. (We’re still on the first page? Really?)

    Before long it will be 20 years since my last Phish shows. Coventry wrecked me.

    It’s complicated. I need to see/hear the Reba from the Sphere. They had to have played it, right? I haven’t even bothered to look at setlists at phish.net yet.

    Divided Sky was the first of the few excerpts I watched. Awesome visuals. I thought the performance was a little clunky to start. I begrudgingly got into it toward the end. I’ve seen better but it took me back because it really is a great song. I even found myself chuckling at Trey’s pregnant pause that used to tire me out by how he seemed to keep milking it longer and longer every time.

    I’d love to know if they can admit his extramarital affairs with Marla Maples and Melania into the record.

    His affair with Marla Maples was public knowledge while he was still married to Ivanka. (Oops, I mean Ivana.) It was in the news. Johnny Carson joked about it. His character as a philanderer and womanizer was established over 3 decades ago. Some of his followers embrace that and think it makes him manly and a stud. I’ll bet Trump thinks it makes him BMOC. I think it should absolutely be admissible.

    She doesn't want to be his ex. She wants to be his widow.

    And she doesn’t want death threats against her or her son. She’s morally bankrupt just like the rest of the family. (And there’s no “fake Melania” stand-in.” She’s the prop.)

    Another point of interest will be in how Melania reacts to all this being aired in public as factual testimony instead of being able to brush it off as gossip or hearsay.  Everything in this trial will be good fodder for her divorce case.  

    Right. Like when a whole lot of folks on here were predicting she was going to divorce Trump as soon as he left office.

    Not. Gonna. Happen.

    What? You think THIS will be the final straw?

    She knows damn well Trump cheats on her. She doesn’t care. The only thing that bothers her is that these trysts were made public. She responded by renegotiating her prenup. She’s a grifter and a gold digger. She’s not in it for love or honor or dignity or anything noble. She’s in it til the end. The only way she’d ever file for divorce is if Trump were left absolutely penniless with no properties or assets of any kind. She ain’t leaving him before the well has run dry.

    Can anybody explain why the Magalitia thinks its conservative to support a guy who blows passenger planes out of the sky, throws political opponents out of windows of high rise buildings, poisons journalists, murders incarcerated dissents and kills thousands of innocents in Ukraine?

    The transitive principle applies. They love Trump, Trump loves Putin, therefore they love Putin.

    They’re not conservative. That term has lost all meaning where the Trumpublicans are concerned. It’s just a meaningless label.

    These are the fuckheads driving Project 2025 so of course they are interested in committing voter fraud.

    Project 2025 is the Heritage Foundation’s baby but same diff.

    That’s 100% bullshit. 

    Yeah, I’ve got other replies I want to make when I have time. But Jews and Arabs were living together in Palestine in relative peace prior to the Zionist movement and the Balfour Declaration. Those Jews were more similar culturally to their Arab neighbors.

    The influx of of European culture, from both the west and the east (for our Western sensibilities it should be noted that that included Bolshevik ideologies brought along with Eastern European Jews from nascent Soviet territories), ruffled the feathers of indigenous peoples on both sides, Arabs and Jews alike.

    Judaism isn’t a monolith. (And anti-Zionism =/= anti-Semitism.)

  9. I learned about his passing from Bob Weir’s IG.

    Yeah, the first thing I thought of was Blue Sky because it’s such a great road trip tune. Windows down, volume cranked up.

    I remember my first ABB awakening came when I was young, in high school and I was awake one morning listening to my clock radio. Ramblin’ Man came on and I wasn’t ready to get up yet so I just lied there and listened. I never really paid much attention. It sounded like kind of a country redneck tune with that twangy voice and I was pretty dismissive of it. But then it got to the guitar solo(s) part and I got it.

    I stumbled on this on YouTube tonight:

    The Dead and the All and crossed paths numerous times. Here’s an excerpt from the 4th set of the Dead in D.C. on 6/10/73 when they were joined by Betts and Butch Trucks. The whole set is killer if you dare to seek it out.

    RIP

    Driving through Barton Hills to pick my pup up from the groomer and I saw like 4 Kennedy signs. Ok I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that that neighborhood has some kooky characters. But it does concern me a bit. Those were Biden voters in 2020. I have this sinking feeling Kennedy is going to swing it to that fucking guy. I hope I’m wrong

    Fwiw, the Kennedy family is endorsing Joe Biden, not Jr.

    It’s futile but tell him you’ll watch 2000 mules if he watches selections from the J6 hearings.

    This one is testimony from the known RINO, deep state democrat, and trump appointed AG Bill Barr 

    I generally steer the discussion to questions like:

    Why would barr tell trump the election stolen stuff was bullshit?

    I try to end the debate with humor by saying how the democrats really suck at stealing elections because they let the mitch and lindsay get re-elected.

     

     

     

    Fucking Barr, man. He should still hang for lying to America about the findings in the Mueller report.

    I saw a clip this morning of him on Fox News saying he’ll vote for Trump again. He said Trump is playing “Russian roulette,” (nice choice of words, you Russian-investigation-obfuscating piece of shit,) and that 4 more years of Biden would be “national suicide.”

    Really, Bill? Suicide? Seems the country is doing okay. I recall the same sort of hysterical warnings coming from the GOP about an Obama presidency but we had 8 years of Obama/Biden and came out better than before. Have we forgotten Trump’s gross incompetence and mismanagement of the pandemic? Yeah, thanks for testifying that Trump lost the election and warning that a second Trump term would be a “horror show.” You’re still a traitor and a spineless coward who at the end of the day will choose party over country every time.

    I thought the same thing, but it galls me to no end how un-Christian mainstream Christianity has become.

    Unlike back when a whole lot of Christians in this country owned slaves.
