There are a ton of problems with the justice system in this country, but a fundamental one is that we replaced a system of elected sheriffs and constables who lived with and worked for their communities with a system of outsiders with no accountability who serve capital and not people. Our current police systems descended from the company-owned private security forces that initially protected slavery and later conducted open warfare against striking industrial workers in the late 19th/early 20th century. So it's not so much that we have a system that failed us, but rather one that was never working for us to begin with.

I understand Trump has quipped that he might have to leave the country if Biden wins. I wonder who he thinks might let him in.

Not sure I agree with the ad itself, because pubs are dying here too and we don't even have Trump. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't think the criticism is as much that businesses are struggling, but that Lord Dampnut isn't doing anything to help.

Yeah that's nice mang but how about a link to the ad, hmmm?

The ad is in the article I linked, which provides additional context, why it's unusual for a Beastie Boys track to appear in an ad. But since you asked: (

Someone's been doing short skits about Abraham Lincoln and Lord Dampnut having discussions on various topics: (

These are some beautiful, tremendous skits. Best skits you have ever seen, quite frankly. Many people are saying.

Ah, I started that but thought it was a generic ad for some bar. Doh.
Pixies are also in that.

Aaand we're back at the main topic of anything gloomy's involved in: Gloomy's gender.
I don't have one. There. Mystery solved. We can move on.
Re: Abe And Trump --funny, but nothing will ever top Owen Ellickson's "Trump Leaks" from the 2016 election. Some of the funniest shit I've ever read. Too bad he quit in a huff after the election.
I should ask him if he has an archive of it somewhere.

I don't think Putin would want Trump - too much competition. Erdogan might. I think Donald should buy an island and take his manky family and all his enabling creatures with him.
Trump is, as I understand it, an unindicted co-conspirator. Could he become an indicted one if he loses the election?
