At least in 2006 people were starting to wake up to regressive bullshit and voted in democratic majorities. I'm not sure there's enough non cultists around the country anymore to do that
I have a deep well of optimism. Republicans are incompetent leaders due to their self serving nature. They are able to convince people when they arenβt in power or have a deadlock. Once they gain the advantage they ALWAYS fail and get voted out in 2 years.
I'm sure I'm mostly in a pessimistic mood because we're staring down the barrel of 2 years of mismanagement and incompetence voted in due to fear, greed, and disinformation, but I am just not completely sure that old patterns will hold this time.
Bill Clinton days were the best days. Not disrespecting any other presidents that were also great. But in my voting era Bill Clinton was definitely the best president days of my lifetime so far.
This is funny
I don't remember this
But it's funny
Just concerning enough to make me pause
The tone is perfect
Did this really happen?
Gee whiz
I like it
You might look up the date and time but yes, he did. I remember it was when Ironman movies were out! Barack was truly a good speaker and also a very funny one at times! He also had a report on aliens, but he said they were also classified.
No kidding! Iβm afraid of this year! But we just need to take our vitamins, love our families, and fight for justice. Thanks for all your writings! I love them! You have made me laugh in some very low moments, and I appreciate it so much!
Follow the prompts to write your Representatives to stop Trump from being certified on JAN 6, based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states that an insurrectionist CANNOT be President of the USA.
It's free, it's easy, and it's something YOU can DO.
While weβre at it, letβs go pre-Reagan to 1978, when middle class families still existed, could survive on one income, had health coverage, etc. etc.
That would take me back to when I was two. π€ At least the GOP had some modicum of respectability back then. Nixons show was more or less confined to his cabinet. The GOP in Congress let him know straight out they would vote to impeach him instead of bowing to him. We donβt have that anymore. π’
Look up all the great stuff that happened that year
For me, add in
started playing guitar and writing songs
graduated from high school
left my parents' home
joined theater
got involved in street politics
started smoking pot
and got laid for the first time
They knew who he was, and sold their Souls to be part of the Regime that is being forced upon them now. If Trump had his way, all Senators and Congress Members would be appointed by him.
I agree! But at the moment Iβm angry at the POS from Nassau County for not lowering the American Flag to half mast for President Jimmy Carter. We need to make this virtual!!
The 2006 Lebanon War was a 34-day conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that resulted in over 1,000 deaths and the displacement of about 1,000,000 people. The Iraqi Civil War of 2006β2008 began after the al-Askari mosque bombing in Samarra, Iraq.
Let's face it every year sucked.. for one reason or another. π no point in hoping for a different year.. tomorrow.. tomorrow, that's what we work for.

Do it TODAY.
Yes, Iβm that old. I turned thirteen that year.
A closet in a diner led to the past
The point?
Go back & change the Kennedy assassination
2009 would be a good year to go back to. First year of Obamaβs first term.
Brilliant!!

They are all obeying.
The booming Clinton economy was evident everywhere. Tiny towns with new fire stations. Park playgrounds with shiny new equipment.
People in local diners were happy.
