Fuck unity. Let’s make every election a war of ideas. Republicans can’t compete in one. ---

Another Cockburn fan, way down in the Antipodes! > **[The Trouble with Normal (album)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trouble_with_Normal_(album))** > > The Trouble with Normal is a 1983 studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn. The album contains nine songs (eleven in the 2002 remastered release). It marks a continuing shift from Cockburn's early folk-influenced and "mystic" acoustic works, featuring electric guitar and synthesizers, but the lyrical themes build on earlier albums. > True North released a remastered deluxe version on November 19, 2002 which includes two extra tracks recorded during the same sessions. > In a retro... ---

I shoulda said “trouble” not “problem”. ---

Update: the Facebook friend posted something that seems to be “closed.” It says it may have been removed or it may have only been shown to certain people. The discussion after it among her friends says things about how posting Christian things or anti-Democrat things may get you blocked or thrown in Facebook jail. Hmm. I notice a family member with a similar history of posts has had a few old ones flagged. I suspect though that if you post a “fact page” like the one in the OP, even though it’s already been flagged on someone else’s post, that doesn’t mean that Facebook will catch it when you do it. It’s a fire that needs to be put out every time someone spots it. ---

> [@Princhester](#): > > And yes I fully appreciate that Biden had probably been thinking about which executive orders to repeal for months but it’s the optics – I fear that making it into an immediate piece of first-day theatre is only going to make everything worse. The solution to this is simple: no Republican must ever win the White House again. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-strategy-of-trumpers/931494.md?page=3)
