We can hear you coming
(We can hear you coming)
No, you're not going to win this time
(You're not gonna win)
We can hear the footsteps
(We can hear the footsteps
Way out along the walkway (along the walkway)
Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the resistance?

We won't let you kill the
Laughter

Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
'Cause you've got to blame someone
For your own confusion
We're on guard this time (on guar0d this time)
Against your final solution
Oh no

Reminds me of:

Lunatic Fringe
Songwriters: Thomas William Cochrane
Red Rider - "Lunatic Fringe" - 1981

Lunatic fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
And we know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
(We're wise to you this time)

Trump: Why would anyone actually need health care? Look at me? The best Navy doctors and they claim my cardiovascular system is that of a 65 yo. What have they been smoking? I ace my cognitive tests every time. Everyone knows that, but who are they kidding? Therefore, concepts of a plan are great!

Uh, yeah, so no, everything is fine, everyone knows this. Ceasefire is good, everyone knows this.

The cowardness of what used to be our brave US Navy, blowing up a disabled boat with a lit distress signal in its territorial waters. Only if justice is truly served will we ever live down these barbaric actions as a nation.

When inheritance supplants honest labor, lack of accountability seems to follow.

This was not my first protest. Except for COVID19 distancing during a voting rights protest in 2020, all succeeding events have been lovely. So, it's a big smile now. As far as the spiraling downward path this country is on now? It's not sadness, it's not anger, it is determination to never give up.

As long as individual net worth continues to increase exponentially, enabling will continue. Greed not ideology being the driving factor for all.

Should be a front page story. Do the owners of the NYT think following the WP example is a strategic business move?

Because I choose engineering, rather than guidance counselor recommended law, I ended up working with conservatives almost exclusively my entire career. That is a shame when you enjoy practical problem solving and math.

SoW Hegseth can give all of the speeches someone else writes for him and he reads. Answering unscripted questions is completely different.

Yes. See a problem ending this decade? No.

Hello Kiki, please let me introduce myself, I am Mae, my sister Ella's twin. I am one of six kittens our mother Sable had here in the backyard 5 years ago. I have been playing outside all day. I am a biscuit eater, not a biscuit maker...nice to meet you!

Meghan, dear, I will write this politely as I can. President Trump was elected not coronated. The processes are different.

ACA spending cuts $350B over 10 years, tax revenue cuts 10 times as much. Medicaid spending cuts $1,000B. Add in undefined tariff revenue. So, where will the surplus go? Pay down the debt? That is what Republicans want you to believe. More likely bailouts and other pet projects. All above board?

Imagine watching college football is more important than helping the people in your district who need your help. OMG even on your weekend.
