To the people of color in Georgia & Florida if the actions of these lowlifes don’t inspire you to get the hell up and vote what will? If the actions of these people don’t inspire you to make sure that every person you know is registered to vote and is willing to stand in line to do so what will? To all The D9…

You forget the most important part of this drill.

Okay people we know the drill by now.

To expound on points 5, 8 and 9 (optics of black church strong on lecherous, decrepit male leadership and short on male soldiers in the Lord’s army in the pews; professionalism and punctiliousness of gospel artist performers; Chernobyl toxic eulogy by Rev. Jasper Williams)....

Aretha was of their generation and she liked them, especially Hillary. And don’t forget JJJr is Clinton’s boy. That did not bother me.

That said, I do wonder if the perfectly justified and appropriate outrage would have been as swift if he’d done that to someone who wasn’t as popular and traditionally pretty and small and light-skinned as Ariana Grande is.

That was a blessing.  

What are these “cards” you speak of? And how can one get one? Asking for a friend.

She wrote a lot of her songs, some on her own, some with her first husband, some with her sister Carolyn. And even though “Respect” was originally Otis Redding, she put in the “Sockittome” and the spelling. Redding’s version is great, of course, but hers sounds completely different.

Respect from one Queen to another done most excellently

↑ This.  Most importantly this, the part about laying down with snakes, but also, I never appreciated the way she treated April Ryan.

Maybe because “Trump is a petty, irrational racist!” is about as much of a revelation as “the sun will rise in east”.

I’m really more concerned with all these Black people that have been welcoming her back into the fold. Saying she got her card back. No tf she didn’t. She laid down with a snake, got bit and now wanna act like “I knew how vile he was all along”? She can really disappear at this point. Though I would like to hear more…

*rimshot*

Can’t wait for this trout-mouthed heathen to go away.

Long shot but doable. Combined, there are more registered AA voters and progressive whites along I4 plus Miami+Broward and the college towns than there are registered Rs in Florida. If turnout is great and we can persuade a few I’s, we’re looking at Gov Andy. Donate a few bucks and volunteer. Don’t have to live in FL…

“Walk it like I talk it” - whoo!
