J-lo with This Land is Your Land - putting me in mind if the movie Airplane - that was song the stewardess sang when she kept popping the IV out of the girl.

I wasn’t expecting this flood of emotions. Just relief and gratitude to get that fuckawful monster out. I never allowed myself to celebrate the election.

I guarantee you its because he totally almost fucked Laura Branigan in 1993.
His tastes in music (see also "YMCA") undoubtedly are tied to the best times in his life, i.e. the NYC club years.

She did a damn good version at the (IIRC) Broncos-Panthers SB. Plus she did the part I prefer, when you go up and not down at the “that our flag was still there” part.
You have the right Super Bowl (50). Some writer at a pop culture website is scouring YouTube for her performances of the anthem to post a rankings list today.

Y'all can just inject those first-day Executive Orders right into my veins.

I'll start with ending the Muslim Ban and fully reinstating DACA.

So this piece of info made me happy. The press was on Air Force One for Trump's final flight, and apparently Jim Acosta was peppering Trump with questions about whether he regrets the Capitol insurrection.

I'm a bit surprised that very few of the Trump flags in my neighborhood came down after January 6th, but OTOH, if you are going to the length of buying and flying a Trump flag, you are too far gone to care about the attempted violent overthrow of Democracy. Almost all the Trump signs came down very shortly after the election.

In my liberal enclave, there was only one Trump sign, and not even on our block.

Lots of Biden signs, which was a big departure from prior elections, when no one had Obama or Clinton signs.

My redneck neighbors left their Trump sign in the yard after the election but took it down after the Capitol coup. I guess they have some scruples after all (barely).

Nah, Biden should have trolled him Trump style.

"Poor Dopey Donald. That's what I call him, Dopey Donald. Could you imagine if I lost to him, I would have to leave the country. But I didn't lose. I won, and like by a lot. It wasn't even close, a land slide in fact. Lock him up I say."
