Naked

[H2O Man]

Watching the Axios interview of Donald Trump, I was reminded of the June 1972 release of the John Lennon-Yoko Ono double album, "Some Time in New York City." In the upper right-hand corner of the LP's cover, there is a picture of President Nixon and Chairman Mao dancing naked with wild abdomen. Some people were upset by this, including members of the Nixon administration.

In an interview, Yoko explained that she thought politicians should be naked in their campaigns, and all meetings while in office. Yoko was 48 years ahead of her time. Today, we have witnessed the naked lying of the president, despite him being fully dressed.

1. If I saw him naked I would gouge my eyes out.

[H2O Man]

5. Yes.

If that sight didn't melt my eyes, I would have to do that.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

59. Seeing that thing naked

Would make be bleach my eyes and drink disinfectant ugggh * shudder*

[lunatica]

2. The Naked Emperors and those pesky clothes their followers see

If I have not learned anything else from these last four years, I’ve definitely had my eyes opened about the 30% of Americans who see what they’re told to see even after they don’t see it.

I used to believe that the dissemination of knowledge, through education could cure all our evils. Now, not so much.

[H2O Man]

6. I think that

it can best be viewed in the context of a cult. The Trumpites are no different than the members of smaller cults, and the concept of 30% of the voting public being as brain-dead as the average Manson follower was is hard to believe. And I do not anticipate that they will come to their senses any time soon.

[lunatica]

38. Actually I read someplace, maybe here, that during the

American Revolution about the same amount of 30 percent of people wanted to remain a British Colony.

That cheered me up immensely!

[H2O Man]

39. That's true.

About one third were pro-Britsh, another third backed the revolution, and the other third took no position. I think that is one of the history lessons that hasn't been properly taught in schools, and thus a large part of the public is ignorant of that fact. I appreciate you bringing it up!

Though it was long ago, I think the group dynamics of the Revolutionary War -- as well as the Civil War -- are important to understand in order to place today's situation in an object context. It's a topic that has fascinated me most of my life -- actually since I was in the 1st grade, though I clearly had a six year old's understanding at the time. Our principal told our class about Mohawk Leader Joseph Brant's camp in our town, and I was hooked. That afternoon, my mother told me that one of our family was friends with Brant; within a week, my brothers showed me where Brant's camp had been.

Some of my ancestors, including the one who was friends with Brant, sided with England. A factor was that they were opposed to the expansion into Indian territory that the Patriots favored. Life on the "western front" was tough enough without more conflicts with some of the Ohio River Valley Indian nations. More, after the Revolution, many of these people advocated recognizing the Lenape as a state within our union.

I studied this on my own, and didn't learn about it in school. It wasn't until college that I found it inside of a classroom as part of our country's history. Likewise, college courses provided the more accurate lessons of the colonial era as involving black, white, and red peoples. I think this can be applied to understanding current events, too.

60. 1/3 of the people in America

Are dark triad personalties.
Coincidence I think not.

before dancing naked with it.



On edit-Lennon wrote "wild abdomen" in 1964-http://www.bookride.com/2007/04/in-his-own-write-john-lennon-1964.html

[panader0]

4. I had a wild abdomen once, but a bromoseltzer calmed it down.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. They're a little gamey.

[Towlie]

47. Wait, the spell checker didn't flag it so it must be okay, right?

I remember once on another discussion forum someone argued "A good spell checker would have caught that." The response was "a good education would have caught that."

[panader0]

51. I'm pretty sure H20 Man knew exactly what he was doing.

[H2O Man]

7. Likewise!

[lunatica]

9. At least all you have is an abdomen

Try sporting some boobs with that!

abdomen —>

Boobs —>

[rzemanfl]

14. You can do a headstand? You're in better shape than I. n/t

[lunatica]

15. Gravity honey. It won!

[rzemanfl]

16. Moving the bases closer is good for us old folks, I suppose. n/t

[soldierant]

22. I was thinking that - Nixon may have been a crook,

but I don't recall his abdomen being anywhere near as wild as Donnie*'s.

(I am assuming autocorrupt changed "abandon," incidentally.)

[rzemanfl]

33. I am stealing "autocorrupt" unless you PM me your copyright. n/t

[soldierant]

56. I'm pretty sure it's public domain. I see it a lot. It was needed.

[rzemanfl]

35. Not so-I thought the same, but-

[soldierant]

57. Well, now it makes perfect sense. He was channeling James Joyce.

[totodeinhere]

10. I do not think that I would want to see that fat SOB naked. n/t

[H2O Man]

12. Nope.

It would be brutal.

[GopherGal]

31. Stormy EARNED that $130000

poor woman.

[spanone]

11. ⭐️K&R⭐️

'I did more for the Black community than anybody with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln, whether you like it or not'

Somebody muzzle this rancid, ignorant fuck.

[H2O Man]

13. "More than LBJ?"

Just fucking unreal how obscenely obnoxious he is.

[spanone]

41. I'm out of adjectives/pronouns et al...

insults etc etc etc.

[H2O Man]

43. If Trump had said

that he is a bigger liar than was LBJ, I'd admit that he is right. And LBJ set that bar high. But the fucking nerve of him to compare himself to Johnson in terms of what each did for black Americans is so gross.

[spanone]

44. I bet he doesn't have a single, solitary clue what LBJ did. Zero.

He just found out that Lincoln was a republican

[H2O Man]

50. Seriously.

And he has the fucking nerve to say that "with the possible exception of Lincoln," he has done more for black Americans than any other president. That ranks with his "no one ever knew" Lincoln was a republican.

[we can do it]

17. Wild abdomen!

[shelshaw]

18. Haha 🤣

[H2O Man]

25. A Lennon line.

[we can do it]

29. 😂❤️

[rzemanfl]

34. Yes.

http://www.bookride.com/2007/04/in-his-own-write-john-lennon-1964.html

[kentuck]

19. ...as a jaybird.

Jumpin' Yo-Semite!

[H2O Man]

26. Wasn't that terrible?

No fucking excuse for that.

[kentuck]

32. Even a fifth grader would know that when you are talking about towering sequoias...

..the reference would be to Yosemite National Park.

It's really unbelievable that he would not know that.

[H2O Man]

49. Right.

On one hand, I think he does, but had what Uncle Charlie (0n "My Three Sons&quot called a "Fredian slip." On the other hand, the guy is stupid.

[malaise]

20. Profound

Says everything

[H2O Man]

27. It was an amazing interview.

One of the worst that Trump has done.

[onetexan]

21. Is that "wild abdomen"or "wild abandon"?

[soldierant]

23. I'm sure it's "autocorrupt."

[onetexan]

24. LOL

[soldierant]

58. I stand corrected. It's a John Lennon quote.

He often did write as if he were channeling James Joyce.

[H2O Man]

28. abdomen.

Definitely abdomen.

[mnmoderatedem]

30. trump physically naked? Uh no

not enough eye bleach in the universe to fix that .

[H2O Man]

40. I suspect

my eyes would melt and run down my cheeks.

[dmr]

45. How about physically nuked?

It's that damn autocorrupt again.

[csziggy]

37. We don't have to see Dolt45 naked in real life

He's already been memorialized naked with statues!

To save our eyes, I will not post any pictures of them, just a link to a story about them:

[H2O Man]

42. Thank you for this link!

It's dangerous enough to recognize that Trump is naked under his clothing.

[dmr]

46. OH! I don't even want to even think that!

I may need to sanitize my brain!

[H2O Man]

48. My two kids

who box are working out in the room next to me. I laughed so hard reading your post that they asked what was so funny?

[dmr]

52. Lol, my son came in to check on me yesterday as I cussed & groaned over that Swan interview.

But usually I wake Jack, the dog from his snoring.

[coeur_de_lion]

53. Yoko for VP. Joking of course

but wouldn't that be FUN?

[H2O Man]

54. Almost as fun

as for president. Shame she wasn't born here!

[coeur_de_lion]

55. She would get my vote!
