Belle, you have no idea how disgustingly partisan the Pub was long ago. slowly but surely the right wingers all lost their cool and are now gone. My friend Mt Stradivarius has never broken any rules and always speaks his mind. The concept of everyone agreeing with one side is a nice idea, but fantas...

The Queen always carries a handbag, even to the toilet.
The Duke of Edinburgh walks with his hands behind his back.
The reason is that the both felt they were shaking way too many hands back in the 60’s and 70’s. So between themselves the decided on the plan.

Good for them, smart thinking.

Trump may well be a witting or unwitting Putin pawn. But why in a misguided attempt to fight back and regain control over an unfavorable news cycle (re: Jeff Sessions & the Russians) would he blow the whistle on his own bugging? Was he not aware that in the end the transcript of any intercepted con...

Of course the FBI tapped Trump's phones. He was selling out the country to Vladimir Putin. Now we need the FBI to make those wiretaps public. :mrgreen: Don't be so sure that Trump's phone was tapped.

Patti Smith behaved like the most obnoxious spoilt brat in 1975. She wasn't quite as obnoxious as Lou Reed, but it was close.

Patti Smith was approached in September to sing at the Nobel Awards. But the announcements had not been made. Either, Bob knew in advance, refused to show in advance. Or the Nobel Committee knew he'd never show. Either way, they were prepared, they nominated Mr Dylan for the right reasons. BECAUSE J...

Jbuck919 is right: this dispute is not worth losing a valuable friendship over, especially when both sides have so much to offer the rest of us and are so genuine and passionate about their beliefs.

There is a big difference, we disagree on Broadway shows in general. But, we research our opinion.

I wouldn't be quite that harsh to John Francis, though I find myself uncomfortable being a referee in this case, since both of you are my friends.

With that last post you have proven that you are no better than Trump, who you compared me to. You are a buffoon who does not research his facts before mouthing off online.

Chalkie, you're talking arrant nonsense. "Freedom of speech"? What blather.

The popular vote is only the voice of those who voted. 47% of eligible voters did not vote. Many Democrats did not vote because 'their' candidate was not the nominee.
