Yeah, but if the title of the video says “full album” then it will play the whole album in that one video. That’s all I was saying. Yes there are also playlists, but this isn’t one of them. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > Dammit! Stop bumping this thread if you’re not going to give me any schadenfreude!   The Schadenfreude doesn’t start getting real until we see some of these Trump cronies, and even Trump Hisself, in handcuffs on their way to the Big (non-White) House. I’ve been holding my breath a long time, as I’m sure we all have, and I’m turning very blue. ---

Mitts! I’ve got a few more names for you. Cruz, Tuberville, Gantz, Markwayne Mullin, Gohmert, Hawley, Boebert, … Hell, I’ve got binders of them. And Mitts - they ARE NOT on your team. They have a list of names too. Blacks, browns, moslems, catholics, asians, jews, mormons… it goes on and on. ---

> “Apparently, half the nation voted against Trump. So if Trump runs, it sends half the nation back to the polls to vote against him. Let’s not do that.” Too late. I cannot see myself voting for Republican ever again. Last election if the only candidate in the general election was a Republican – a couple minor offices like Constable – I left it blank. ---

I have voted for local Republicans, even since 2016, when I was convinced those candidates were the best on the ballot. But I can’t see myself ever voting for a Republican for Federal office who didn’t denounce Trump and Trumpism. ---
