Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

Commendable recommendations but I see someone crying favoritism when it would be the right thing to do. Those on the right would call it a form of affirmative action or something equally silly.

Along the same lines, if we ever get off our asses and start manufacturing solar panels and the like (think light industry instead of heavy) those areas that were decimated by the very jobs they did, to support industries that turned their backs on them, should be at the top of the list when it comes to considering locations of said industry.

Right. Like I am gonna copy that all over again here. As if.

Because, thing is, there was a whole laundry list of tangible accomplishments- regulations slashed, judges appointed, people put to work, jobs created. Not a one of which is being challenged or disputed. 

Then even more shocking, the president and Secty of State- Obama and Clinton- former CIA head Brennan, former FBI head Comey, are charged with a coup attempt. Trying to overturn an American election. Apparently now this is so uncontroversial a topic we can skip right past that to making George Washington jokes.

At least we know these points are now so widely known and well established even people who should want to argue know better.

Good. Progress. Now if only they can admit it to themselves.
 

Keep drinking that Cruel-Aid Pepe and you’ll have all the folk from 4chan and 8chan over here in no time. I’ve never seen someone so openly delusional as you. I’ve read about them but to have you representing views that have been laughed out of the mainstream press is disheartening, to say the least.

What's next? Green frog and nazi avatars?

SO ... does anyone else like Laurindo Almeida? There are two albums in particular that every audiophile, regardless of KoolAid preference, should have. They are both direct-to-disc and of fidelity ne plus ultra. The first is LA4 ’Just Friends’, on Concord Jazz 1978. It showcases Laurindo Almeida with Bu dShanks, Ray Brown and Jeff Hamilton. The other is Ray Brown & Laurindo Almeida ’Moonlight Serenade’ on Jeton Records, 1981.

We may have our different interpretations of the same facts, but we all share a particular passion for great music superbly reproduced!

I picked up a hint of Django Reinhardt in his playing, minus the frenzy he was fond of. Also, he does a nice interpretation of Claire de Lune.
