Seems kinda of irrelevant.

Anyone know if it's worth a schlep to see The English Beat live?

Adder's last response seems every bit as appropriate here!

My understanding is it's just Dave and some hired guns, presumably including someone who can do a decent Ranking Roger impersonation.

That sucks. I saw two bands from that era in the last several years. Gang of Four flooded the show with new songs, which wasn’t something anyone was there for. But Tom Tom Club was great. Older but still moving.

or most elevated?
 

Proud father alert: At 3:30 am this morning, after walking from Yosemite on the John Muir Trail for the last fortnight+, the eldest Wee Slothrop summited Mount Whitney and was the highest person in the continental United States.

If Dave Wakeling and some other guys were doing an English Beat tribute show near me, I would go. So I guess I just need to decide whether it's worth it to get myself to Berkeley on a Friday night.

If he hasn't had it by now, I don't think it's possible. We just have to accept he is constructed of space age polymers which cannot be destroyed by natural stressors.

He took shit that said "Top Secret" on it. There's no defense that he didn't understand he shouldn't have taken it. When those words appeared on it, knowledge of a duty to ask whether removal of such documents from the WH was illegal is imparted to him (and any other non-blind person).

His only defense I see is an assertion that he did not look in the boxes - a "blame the staff" argument. But that seems to fall on its face because DOJ was asking for the return of items and at that point he had to have knowledge that he had stuff he shouldn't have had. He can't claim he was not involved in returning the things he returned or retaining those he was supposed to return. Nobody - not even Trump - is that clueless and detached.

On his best day he's in the willful ignorance bucket.

Now the Ds and Rs should get together and tell him they'll agree not to prosecute if he agrees not to run for office again. He has to agree to toll the stat of lims indefinitely. If he breaks the deal, he gets prosecuted.

The Marco Rubios of the world are scared of his supporters, and unwilling to do that. And by "the Marco Rubios of the world," I am mostly referring to the entire, shrunken, striving, statureless, shameless, ambitious, gutless Republican Party.

Re: Implanting Bill Gates's Micro-chips In Brains For Over 20 Years!
 

If he runs in the next GOP primary, is it realistic to think that anyone can beat him? It's his party, isn't it?

Our best hope is that he's lazy and doesn't want to do the work needed, and that he's afraid of losing again.

Re: or most elevated?
 

No way. 1995. 6-foot water bong. I was the highest person ever.

Re: Implanting Bill Gates's Micro-chips In Brains For Over 20 Years!
 

Don't forget we have independent state legislatures coming down the pike. So if he gets face planted he will have people who say "Fraud -- let's put in Trumpie." The question is whether the military follows him and rises up to quell the riots.

But who knows, maybe he falls down a set of stairs or something. Is that irony or coincidence?

Not new, but still wild.

Opposing counsel 59 yo dead of pulmonary embolism. Guess what he just had for the third time a week before this

Six month old got his first covid vaccination today!! He's also probably had it, has had my breastmilk when I had it, has had my breastmilk when I got the second booster, was in utero when I got the first booster. I THINK he's as good as he can be in terms of immunity.
