Now playing: Yugen, Cinically Correct

This is to disabuse Rick, who liked yesterday's Yugen tune Cloudscape. This tune is the sound of taking all those musicians, the rock guys with their equipment, the classical players with their expensive instruments, and throwing them down two flights of stairs. Splonk ;)

If this tune hasn't won the Guinness world record for most complex piece of rock music ever recorded, it ought to. I realize that this would be unendurable for most people. Some may question if you can even call it music (LOL). But for me, it's just a nice power wash of the inside of my skull with pure pressurized nitric acid. Which is a nice feeling ;) The apotheosis of what we call avant prog.

I just have a massive thing for musical complexity. YMMV ;)

Nice. In my book on Lying I point out, as an Eagle Scout, the Scout Law: A Scout is TRUSTWORTHY, loyal, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY, COURTEOUS, kind, OBEDIENT, cheerful, BRAVE, clean, and reverent. Trump and his truly evil gang in the White House, Congress, and SCOTUS only promotes and obeys the opposite of EVERY WORD of the Scout Law. Trump only appoints and supports people LIKE HIMSELF, who are UNTRUSTWORTHY, DISLOYAL (to the Constitution), UNHELPFUL, UNFRIENDLY, DISCOURTEOUS, UNKIND, DISOBEDIENT, UNCHEERFUL, CHICKEN (TACO), UNCLEAN in SPEECH, and IMMORAL. Bondi's congressional testimony checks off all the boxes, and Trump's firing of her does it as well for him. Of course Trump checks off all the boxes many times a day. Here is my book on Amazon, "How to Get Your Lies Back: The Internet Court of Lies" It was written when Trump was first president. Nothing has changed about him and the cure (now TruthCourt.Net) https://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Your-Lies-Back/dp/B07R448S2L/

Rick – Would you and others on Substack and The Bulwark please address the news that the Fabulous Gilded Ballroom is cover for a vast underground bolt-hole for people in the White House should the poop really hit the fan?

Thank you, Rick. This is fantastic!

Thank you Rick! I really enjoy watching your videos! Been a big fan of yours forever! I’m homeless right now with my son, and you, plus others here on Substack and YouTube, give me laughter yet seriousness with the truth of our situation here in America at this moment. You help me understand what’s happening with a smile, sometimes a tear, but always with facts and sanity I can hold on to! Please keep it up and I’ll definitely share it! 🙏♥️

“As always, on Fridays, we bring you a show peeling back what's going on beneath a big story of the week or a big movement of the week.” The latter is DJT every week. 💩

“Sauron made orcs in mockery of elves.” Ah... it’s all coming back to me now. I’m a pixie, which is elf adjacent. I’m also Éowyn. Always an Éowyn, never an Arwen. “I am weary of skulking in halls, and wish to face peril and battle. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death. I fear a cage, to stay behind bars, until all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.” ~ Éowyn. Well, that’s a little too too much on target. 🎯

That monster who threatens lynching is parody, right? No!?! Oh, good gods and goddesses!!! WTAF?!? Florida, you have a serious Nazi problem. Problems are situations seeking solutions. 🙏

Knock knock ✊🏻

Who’s there? 🚪

Dear Rick Wilson and all freedom protecting, Constitution loving Floridians 🍊

Orange you glad you can show this candidate — a dangerous, immoral Guardian of Pedophiles — what democracy looks like? 🗳️

Loved the title: Firing Season. Of course I went down this rabbit hole: “Rabbit Fire” (1951) to the tune of “Battle of New Orleans”. 🎼⏰🕳️🐇

You provide the alligator. 🐊

Such a wonderful thing to watch as this administration slowly gets what they’ve had coming

She STILL hasn’t released all the files, which should have been done by Dec 19. She broke the law. She should be disbarred & prosecuted

And…behind the curtain they’re quitting as DT yells “Your fired!” His tired old line from his greedy mob bo$$y “Apprentice” tv series🤮🤑.

If you're going to expound from the plantation ( between dawn & dusk flights of no-see-ums), you must also have a beveridge in hand. It's only proper...
