Frank could have been the best President America ever had. Most of my values as a person were created with the help of what Frank had to say about things since Freak Out was released in 1966. He's been my hero and inspiration for the last 51 years.

This is a c&p from a good friend from my late 70's college days:


Ohh Jim.. don't you recall "On Aug. 15, 1971, in a nationally televised address, Nixon announced, “I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States.” It was Executive Order 11615 (pursuant to the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970), imposing a 90-day freeze on wages and prices in order to counter inflation. This was the first time the U.S. government had enacted wage and price controls since World War II. That was a dramatic action then, why not now?


So, I guess my question is: Can President Biden lower the cost of gas simply by issuing an E.O.?

Thanks, DU mates. When it comes to questions like this, you guy blow the doors off google.

Or, as my lifelong hero with Frank Zappa would put it: "My favorite confrontation with authority"

I posted this on my FB wall and got a 30 day suspension. Question; who are the judges that determine why this violated community standards? My sole measure is whether this statement is accurate and it's 100% accurate. I demand to confront my accusers!

(Not really, but I wish I could send my potential posts to the FB Ministry of Truth to check if my post would get me busted again. Self censorship and it's time to watch what I post on FB. (Thanks to Ari Fleischer circa 2003-2004.)




When a right-winger says, "Tucker Carlson has a huge audience," I reply, "So did Joseph Goebbels."





Which leads me to wonder if FB can bust me for DU comments about FB? Which seems plausible because FB, google and youtube seem to be run by the same entity? Kinda like anti-trust laws have gone the way of progressive taxation?

One would think that after this recent TFG pronouncement, that he would loose supporters by the millions when he defies his own anti-vax rhetoric he catapulted for years after the pandemic first arrived?

Perhaps something like "cognitive dissonance" blocked this recent message from entering the brains of his MAGA supporters and also every single member of the republic party?

his comments are about 0:50 in.

not where the big money is these days. mis/dis info is lavishly rewarded by the morbidly wealthy, so as to get more for them via less for you. most of our so called capitalists are actual striving to own monopolies. immune to the forces of the free market and competition. overly powerful corporations are vile and pernicious. and un-American. bust the trusts! or at least tax them at the same rate as the middle class.

Greed is loathsome and predatory and must be banished from a fair and just society.

LOVE IT!

I have a visceral revulsion to this entitled second generation criminal.

to suggest something truly creepy; perhaps he stays in poopie-pants good graces by letting him have sex with his wife. To continue a physical relationship that probably started when she was 13.

(In Quagmire voice) Aren't I just the worst!

One of his books was; "The best way to rob a bank is to own it." He's got decades of research on djt's murky financial dealings.

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

or, since the October 16, 1971 Stony Brook late show.

Thank you. and make sure you catch Alex Winter's recent movie about him. Unlimited access to his basement vault for two years.

Because it was designed to be used as a pejorative towards the Democratic party.

My feelings were confirmed some time after the early 2000's Iraq invasion, by the great Keith Olbermann, in response to GWB using it. "....and it's DEM-O-CRA-TIC Party. Show some respect!":

So, for a while I used the term "republic party" every time IO have to refer to these grifters on internet social media.

It a efect in my moral character that I let myself "go low", but, geez, these people are " winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" so completely that they must be countered.

Cheating and bullying and lying is not what a major political party should stand for.

And this is just a start. I'll be fighting against American totalitarian fascsit police states until I die, or global warming ends our way of life as we know it and takes me with it.
