That's gotta cause a conflict for some... who are the good guys?

Normal parties in France and Germany tend to be pretty aligned to the idea of collective security.  Only the Nazis that the originator of this thread seem to like  -- coincidentally who also have Elon Musk and Putin's support -- and something called the Left Party are supporting complete US withdrawal.  

AfD is strongest in places where there were never US troops stationed.  We are charming and spend enough money to improve the lives of the locals despite our boorish ways.

Trump touting corinthian columns for the ballroom when the current WH columns are ionic.  What a weird ****er.

The most fitting Donald legacy leaves the East Wing as a heap of rubble.

I’ve tried twice to get into him and I just can’t. I know he’s great and am not knocking him or his fans. Just not for me.  

This is exactly where I’m at. I recognize Bruce’s exalted status in the American popular musical canon. It’s his sound, that sax-heavy south Jersey sound—it’s just not my bag.

Your honor, I'd like to enter into the record of "If Barack Obama did that" exhibit number 1,535,467. This exhibit is of the President dancing with a sword to the YMCA song by The Village People and waving a sword around in front of our military members. Can you imagine if Barack Obama was blasting Return of the Mack and doing some **** as dumb as this?

For me I can tell he's heavily lyrically based and I struggle with that.  I need a groove or a hook musically, something to bop my head or tap my foot to.  Badlands comes close to me as one I can listen to regularly, aside from the mid 80's poppy stuff like Glory Days and Dancing in the Dark. But I don't consider that the crux of his catalog.  I've seen videos of boomers at shows singing along with Badlands and I respect it.  Maybe it's how I felt seeing Foo Fighters a few years ago... like "Yes, this is my young adulthood and now I'm in my 50's..." 

I saw him once say that he wanted to be Dylan but Dylan that they played on the radio.

 i recall one very powerful woman in the CT chain of command who loathed “history book reports” from her analysts.

That song is great

Love the song...

But it got overplayed too much (to me) on WRIF so...

I switched to 10th Avenue Freezeout and Nebraska (entire album) and Spirit in the Night as my favorite Springsteen listen to's... I can handle Born to Run now and again as long as it doesn't become incessant again (on a playlist or otherwise...).
