“I am so disappointed in ‘President’ Putin”. Respectfully, Jay, my thinking is very different, as I am shocked and very bothered by a President of the United States not only referring to a cold blooded mass murderer and present day war criminal with an honorific…It begs my question if my fellow Americans and the powers that be in Washington are a o k with the summary executions of “suspected ‘drug’ smugglers”…Why could not the evil man responsible for all the slaughter, rape, torture, kidnapping suffer the same fate…like so yesterday…and why do my fellow Americans look the other way when a President of the United States rolls out the red carpet for someone who has no right to live…it makes me think of the direct order all young new recruits to military service were instructed in “Why We Fight” (Episode One: Prelude to War) with the the one liner….if you ever cross paths with one of these three evil doers “Don’t hesitate” (one of the war criminals actually got a reprieve, after he ordered his side to unconditionally surrendered)…makes me wonder how much pain and suffering would not have happened since if The Don had made like Michael Corleone on that Alaskan tarmac…and some brilliant Ukrainian kid would be back to his actual school work
To my hearts great discontent our nations top Generals and Admirals did not stand up to and turn their backs to the Ill Duce wannabe when they all had their chance. It would have been beautiful to hear The Don be laughed at when he says “You all are fired”.
Never again will I have any respect for Dave Chapelle…but I always found Pete Davidson to be about as funny as calling Taco Bell “‘Mexican’ food”. But I will always call the head of house of fraud a dick tator (hat tip Jonah) and forever be creeped out by Jared Kushner shaking hands with a mobster that had a fellow human being carved up like a Christmas turkey at Satreallis
That is all. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my rant Onward and Upward. Peace through superior mental firepower
The item about comedians playing Saudi Arabia reminds me of a (profane) bit from Ricky Gervais at the 2020 Golden Globe awards (https://youtu.be/fgson2Q3nog?t=420 - the link should take you to the right moment, seven minutes in).
The closeup shots of the Quantico audience was impressive. Stone-faced and motionless. I thought I may have seen some eye-rolling, but I've been informed that would have been beneath their dignity.
Of course Trump is disappointed with Putin. Trump is a bully - has always been a bully - and cannot understand why Putin, whom he admires as the bully extraordinaire, could not crush little Ukraine.
"Why? Why do they do this Why do they think it is good? Why do they think it is non-ruinous?"
Maybe they're just not that interested in music?
If music doesn't arrest your attention, I imagine it's harder to get distracted by what's intended as background use. But the more interested you are in music, the more it'll capture your attention, even when it's not supposed to.
This happens to me, though I shouldn't put on airs – I have a tough time foregrounding speech from nonmusical sounds, too (and not because of hearing loss). Still, advice to study with classical music didn't work for me, since I'd usually end up paying more attention to the music than the studies.
Along the lines of music in videos: The recent documentary on The History Channel on the great Roberto Clemente was made much less than it should have been by the cartoon characters used at various points. Were they trying to introduce a younger generation to Clemente? It seemed very forced. And unnecessary.

I share your opinion of the Ukrainians.
Of course Trump is disappointed with Putin. Trump is a bully - has always been a bully - and cannot understand why Putin, whom he admires as the bully extraordinaire, could not crush little Ukraine.
