So am I the only one who thought Sarah Silverman and Al Franken were great? And Sarah was looking fly. Rrowrr.
That’s not really what I meant, although I could sort of see that point. I think if he were capable of singing that song well, it could appeal to young people even if they had never heard it before. I just meant that they should feature performers who are performing at a top-notch level now, not just jogging our memories of how great they used to be.
Additionally, I find it surprising that elderly musicians want to tarnish their legacy this way. I remember years ago hearing Trey Anastasio from Phish talk about a famous opera singer who retired and would not sing from that point on, not even “Happy Birthday” at a small family party. I really respect that.
Exactly. If he were to win this election, that would be a serious indictment of the American people. Although I should be more specific, since it would be unlikely for him to get significant support from racial minorities. So if he were to win, that would mean an extremely high level of support from non-Hispanic whites, who are still the majority even if a shrinking one. As a white guy by all outward appearances, I think I would probably need to wear a shirt or button everywhere indicating that I did not vote for him.
I saw a GIF that appeared to be what you are talking about, but it looked like someone else, not Fudge.
Someone on the Republican side, now that Trump is the actual nominee, has indoctrinated him properly into the party. I heard the proof myself. While decrying the lack of anyone having spoken the name “ISIS” at the convention last night, Trump called it the “Democrat convention”. Now it’s really official. And a bit more petty.
A couple of mundane observations about Bernie’s motion:
Doesn’t a suspension of the rules require unanimous consent?
Even if only a majority was required, couldn’t a die hard Bernie supporter have requested a division and forced the chair to take a roll call vote on the question?
