@ I have a question for you? If DipShit wore a Maxi Pad on his ear all through the RNC, where’s the wound? Where’s the scar? He wore it for one week. Handed them out at the Convention… And yet, no scar.. it’s a miracle ear… Sucker!

This was 20 years ago... MAGA wasn't a thing back then thank god. I don't even know where it came from, why it happened, and how it managed to appeal to so many but it needs to stop.
@Dersephh Thanks. I hope this will only be for 4 more years.... Hopefully these years will serve as a wake up call to how truly awful trump is... and we can move on forward and not turn back protections and go forth on love, not hate like Trump does. Though I'm scared he may become another dictator and bend the rules to extend his terms, or have his followers try to brainwash our people with propaganda. Hopefully this will all be over in 4 years 🙏
As an outsider, this time: it's all you, America. This is definitely a choice. The first time, it's an influenced one. But this time, this is just plain old conscience that doesn't benefit all but a few oligarchs.

Can't think of a better soundtrack for a country about to go off a cliff in 2 months. We had a good run, folks.
Its something unpredictable, but in the end it's (not) right. I hope we had the time of our lives....

Also, thanks to Dave and the team for picking an appropriate song for today.
It seems that Jason also had a yellow jr around this time from what I’ve seen
I don't know but have another question for the Green Day heads -- does anyone know what book Tre was reading at the end there?

At least we still have Green Day to remind us who the true American Idiot is! It’s so sad.

Any chance of this being the no 1 song in America soon?.
This song was originally released right after America re-elected GW Bush in 2004 during the early days of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions.🚀💥🔥☠️
This came out before the election. Not many big name acts dared to get political until Bush's approval rating plummeted.
Great choice of a song for today... I won't say any more for fear of being put on a list of people to be rounded up.
More of the strokes please
Or weezer
Appropriate choice for today. 🤘
