Republicans: continued

[Brian Peacock]

Larry Goldings' version came first...

This is an impressive feat of piano playing, and elevates the thing to a sort of monstrous majesty. If Anacreon existed in heaven, he would be most pleased, I think.

From the comments:

"What key will you sing it in?"
"Yes."

There are dozens of videos out now taking the mickey out of this performance. I posted this one in another thread a couple of days ago:



From the comments:

"Production Manager: “Larry is great at this, just pick a key and stick to it”
Republicans: “All Keys Matter”"

"Saying her voice is beautiful is just like saying Trump won by a landslide."

"She's opposed to all keys: anti-do, anti-re, anti-mi, antifa."

"This is what happens when you decide to cut funding for the arts."

"They'll find some way to blame the Democrats for this."

That last one.

The ramparts always gets me...as far as the lyrics go. I've actually been to Baltimore where the fort is that inspired the lyrics. And I still don't remember the story.

The author was a slave owner of sorts:
Key purchased his first slave in 1800 or 1801 and owned six slaves in 1820.[29] He freed seven slaves in the 1830s, one of whom continued to work for him for wages as his farm's foreman, supervising several slaves.[30] Key also represented several slaves seeking their freedom, as well as several slave-owners seeking return of their runaway slaves.[7][31] Key was one of the executors of John Randolph of Roanoke's will, which freed his 400 slaves, and Key fought to enforce the will for the next decade and to provide the freed slaves with land to support themselves.[

Systematically making it harder and harder for poor or non-white people to vote.

Make DC and Puerto Rico States:

If you just squeeze hard enough, there will only de Democratic Party members in charge. THEN you'll really get the democracy good and hard.

Well, it's difficult to control pandemics and provide relief if you have to have republicans im the mix.
Dems: we want relief for workers and renters.
GOP: oh no, we only want relief for corporations. Oh and taxes, lets not tax corporations this year.

So the Republican approach seems to be pissing off Democrats.

Shocking. Maybe they should call Cuomo a Republican.

Former US president Donald Trump's months-long campaign to convince Americans of election fraud is morphing into a years-long legislative skirmish.

Yesterday, the Democratic-held House of Representatives passed a sweeping, 791-page bill aimed at standardising federal elections, with a stated aim of making polls more fair by ending voter suppression.

It's being described as "historic" and "monumental", but it's highly unlikely to become law.

The Democrats control the Senate with only a tie-breaking vote, and the threshold for passing such a bill would require support from at least 10 Republicans.

The two parties can't even agree on an economic stimulus bill that 76 per cent of Americans support, let alone a policy area that led to bloodshed in the US Capitol just a few months ago.

For now, any changes to voting — shoring up "voter rights" or "election security," depending on one's political views — are going to come from the states.

And one party is already racking up a huge advantage.

In the wake of their 2020 losses at the federal level, the Republicans are staking their comeback strategy to changing voting laws locally.

It's a decentralised attack that Democrats say amounts to voter suppression — but it won't matter for the Republicans if it works.

One left-leaning organisation has counted more than 253 voting restriction bills being drafted by Republicans in 43 statehouses.

I'm going all Scot Dutchy, and I'm saying that democracy in the US is a chimera; it is all surface, and has no ability to stop powerful interests, often deeply racist, from undermining any real semblance of "the will of the people"

None of you want any 'democracy' if Republicans start winning votes. Look at the Brexit 'remoaners', and how they still whinge that the voters voted.

What we want is for everybody to have the same, fair chance of casting a vote.

Republicans don't.

Is that what Crowder told you?

The same is true of all right wing parties who realise in a true democracy they dont stand a chance. Our elections are in two weeks time and already the right wing parties are dropping like flies and due to the coalition talks after the election they dont have a snowballs chance in hell of being invited to the discussions to form a government. Even Wilders knows that which is why in corrupt political systems they are the ones doing the corrupting as they are the ones with the money.
