I guess I could see listening to him if I was stoned and drunk out of my mind.

But in that state, I could even listen to Celine Dion or Whitney Houston.

I bet few here "enjoy" rap music either, but it's made folks a lot of money.

I enjoy classical quite a bit, which likely is not everyone's cup of beer.

I like a lot of older country, jazz, blues, classical, older rock, Big Band, anything with a decent tune.  We stumbled across a place in Versailles, FR that had blues and it was great.

Hartsfield-Jackson makes headway on extension to speed Plane Train (ajc.com)

A third of a billion for a 700 foot long train tunnel at ATL.

For passengers, that means Plane Trains will arrive faster — every 90 seconds instead of every 108 seconds today.

They built the International Terminal with Federal grants money, largely, back under Obama.  It cost $1.4 billion.  It has 12 gates.  Twelve.

The airport has 195 gates in total.  This added 12.  Yay.  It's pretty easy to find apparent wastes of money around here, some pedestrian bridge downtown cost $35 million or something and is rarely used, was rushed finished for the Super Bowl, and then ...

Then, when it came time for the big game, the bridge, marketed as a link between Vine City and Mercedes-Benz Stadium and downtown, wasn’t even open to public foot traffic.

we just used the Plane Train, and then MARTA.  The MARTA cars were pretty full, which surprised me some.  It was 9 PM.

I'm glad this new tunnel cuts time from 108 to 90 seconds.

That is absolutely ridiculous.

And we can't help the homeless I guess. Or maybe they could sleep in the tunnel.

Ummm, No.

Poland’s President Andrzej Duda said Friday that “we are also counting on an increase of U.S. presence in our part of Europe” and that he wants the number of NATO troops in each Eastern Flank country to be increased.

just reason 1,483,303 why US should've NEVER expanded NATO eastward to include dirty shitbag Eastern European countries.

You want an increase of US presence? Sure, sign massive and exclusive contracts to buy your oil and natural gas only from US energy. Sign massive and exclusive contracts to buy your arms/weapons only from US defense contractors. Sign commitments to buy more US imported products. And last but not least, the US gov't will send you bills and charge you for it's militaries presence and charge you a cost plus maybe say 15-20% for ALL expenses down to toilet paper. 

Agree to all that, then we can talk. Otherwise, f**k off.

one of my biggest beefs with Trump is he was a phony populist, but he was pretty much dead on the f**king money when it came to foreign policy. this country is run by literal morons and the rest of the world has been fleecing the US for decades.
