Oohhh... what a poetic tweet

@waltshaub
And you may find yourself reading Trump's shotgun tweets. And you may find yourself watching Graham applaud witness retaliation. And you may find yourself hearing Grassley and Johnson are investigating Trump's political rival. And you may ask yourself, well, how did we get here?

And you may ask yourself, where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may find yourself
Living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself
In another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?

A local radio station had a channel. They mostly played music while a camera showed scenes from a park

But this is one of the few actual videos that they would play

It was fantastic. The fascists in the audience probably didn't like it too much.

When I made a comment to my daughter about voting, my brother said a few old people behind me looked angry.

Tough shit!

She just turned 18 and they had a voter registration booth next to the merch table. She registered as a Dem.
