I was thinking of the otiginal 1844 version as opposed to the musical adaptations (including Barry Manilow's - but I didn't know about any of them. without Google.)

I really didn't think your parents were attending the theater in 1844, honest. But you did make me look.

I once had a single "long island iced tea" which I thought was ... you know ... TEA. The next day that is exactly what I looked like.

The man might be an alcoholic. I don't know. But one drunk even a hug the commode please don't turn on the lights kind of drunk does not instantly make someone an alcoholic.

All there. Pete is chewing Ronny a new one very persistently and calling out his lies effectively.

I think we should all follow his example and pick one liar at a time and just stay on him. Or her. People who read their posts will see your reply and they otherwise would not ever no that they are being lied to, though they should.

Twitter has its upside.

This is politics with people who openly lie and distort
I don't give a damn
When dealing with someone/some group as dishonest and malignant as the vast majority of Republikkans are, you hit hard and often
He looks drunk. He's been accused of being a drunk. He lies. He sucks as a human being. He is not entitled to the benefit of the doubt.

People are taking small snippets of Biden and questioning his mental state.

So, take a photo like this and question if he’s hungover. To make a point.

I just learned from this thread that he was Obama's doc during his POTUScy. WTF?

Fortunately Obama was apparently in very good health and clearly in very good shape. But bad things can happen to good people. Thank goodness nothing bad, health-wise, happened to him.

Not that looks are everything, but how anyone could look at Barack Obama compared to the evil monster TFG and find themselves feeling negative towards Obama and positive towards Pissolini I will never, ever understand.

And I'm not talking looks as to who's "hotter." I mean what you can see of a person's character. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think you can often glean some valuable info by having a good look at a person.

"Dr. Feelgood" he was known as in the Trump White House, for his willingness to write prescriptions for anything, anyone in the White House asked for.

This pill pusher shouldn't even have a medical license anymore.
