1. Musicians in 2021 are talentless. For proof, I submit the 30-year comparison.

Releases in 1991:
Guns N’ Roses: Use Your Illusion I & II (Greatest rock masterpiece ever)
Nirvana: Nevermind
Metallica: Black
R.E.M. – Out of Time
Soundgarden – Badmotorfinger
Pearl Jam – Ten
...
2. Releases in 1991 (2021 musicians SUCK continued):

Prince & The New Power Generation: Diamonds and Pearls
Garth Brooks: Ropin’ the Wind
Gang Starr: Step in the Arena
Reba McEntire: For My Broken Heart (Dedicated to prior band who died in plane crash)
Queen: Innuendo

...
3. Releases in 1991 (2021 musicians SUCK continued):

Michael Jackson: Dangerous
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Into the Great Wide Open
U2: Achtung Baby
2Pac: 2Pacalypse Now
Ozzy Osbourne: No More Tears
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik

...
4. Releases in 1991 (2021 musicians SUCK continued):

Buddy Guy: Damn Right, I've Got the Blues
Temple of the Dog: Temple of the Dog
Bryan Adams: Waking Up the Neighbors
Genesis: We Can't Dance
Mariah Carey: Emotions
Naughty by Nature: Naughty by Nature
Sting: The Soul Cages

...
5. Now, I know I've missed some good, even great artists who put out great albums in 1991. But I'm getting a little tired of typing and feel I've pretty much made my point.

Forget 2021 releases. Last decade still couldn't compete with that range of talent.

Today's music sucks.
6. Looks like I hit a nerve with this thread. I see several "Shut up Boomer!" replies.

How disappointingly lazy. More to the point, inaccurate. I'm Gen X.

What I don't see is an exhaustive list of talented artists who released albums in 2021.

That's B/C they don't exist.

😜
Somebody citing Taylor Swift makes my point. It has nothing to do with genre or old vs. new.

It's talent vs. talent.

Swift's talents are not on par with Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey.

Please. Just stop.

BOOM: 113,655 watching now on @RekietaMedia YouTube with @barnes_law, @thevivafrei, @NiermanJoe and more...

And hearing how badly the defense team continues to bungle this up.
If the media weren't so horribly corrupt, they'd be reporting the real story re: the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, which is gross prosecutorial misconduct and how crooked "officers of the court" swearing to uphold the law can railroad innocent citizens who have no voice.
Once upon a time, real "journalists" used to care about the powerful using the machine and abusing the system to crush the little guy in society.

Now, they ARE in the machine, even though many of them are too naive to realize it. Others do realize it, and are happy to be tools.

The infrastructure bill will not help Democrats anymore than tax reform helped Republicans.

1) in case people missed Virginia, it’s not a priority for voters.
2) history
3) even if it was structured to benefit all like tax reform, and it’s not, there’s no impact before 2022.
I’ll add this… Tonight’s vote is why @joekent16jan19 will defeat @HerreraBeutler in WA-03, and @RepKinzinger was forced to retire to Lobby Land before he was embarrassed.

There are at least a dozen others I could’ve cited. But they will exemplify 2022.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting that tonight’s vote was “the” reason. I’m saying that it exemplifies “the” reason.

And that reason is a lack of representation. A lot of Republicans were stupid enough to believe the post-Trump delusion, and they’re going to pay for it.

Watch.

Virginia shouldn’t be close. It is because of Joe Biden, who is toxic in a state he won by 10 points.
Joe Biden's approval rating among independents in Virginia is in the 30s.
Democrats are going to need a big turnout edge in Virginia to NOT lose competitive districts like the 7th in 2022. Voters say Joe Biden's job performance, which is considerably underwater, is the main reason they'll vote Republican in the midterms, even many McAuliffe voters.

I've seen a lot of stupid political commentary over the years. But what I'm reading about California is in the running for the dumbest.

Larry Elder didn't "lose". He outperformed every major poll that already had him in the lead if "Yes" won.

But "Yes" had to win.

On that...
Newsom survived a recall in a very blue state. When his campaign woke up and realized it was closer than expected, they used their significant monetary advantage and compliant media to scare voters.

And still lose counties he previously won and which voted for Joe Biden.

More..
Republicans have been playing a game of defense in California for many years, and have surrounded Orange County, San Diego/SoCal.

Defense is a losing strategy.

Look at the counties in CA-16.

Look at Fresno, Merced, etc.

This fight really underscored why boxing has suffered for years, and hasn't reclaimed the prestige or interest it had for so many years.

Evander Holyfield was a true warrior in his time. But he's way past his prime, and they keep reaching back to compensate for a shallow bench.
Think Vitor Belfort could've lasted a single round with this Evander Holyfield — or, this Riddick Bowe for that matter?

This is when boxing was still great. Before they needed to reach back to out-of-prime former champs to cover their shallow bench.
If you watched that video — particularly the punishment Evander Holyfield took from Riddick Bowe in Round 1, and survived — then you know there's no chance Vitor Belfort could survive even early rounds with either of those two men.

I wouldn't be proud over elder abuse.

A realistic electorate is “laughably slanted”, claims Phil Bump at WaPo.

Look at the electorates in 2016 and 2020. Did the real partisan composition “slant” more closely to weights used by @Rasmussen_Poll or his own outfit’s poll?

I can save you time if you’d like.

Rasmussen.
But this is how actual pollsters know Phil Bump and others like him are total frauds, not experts.

He clearly knows nothing about how weights work.

Weights for party composition wouldn’t impact the actual percentage of Ds the claim @Rasmussen_Poll found agreed with Sen. Graham.
If the weight for party was adjusted, the percentage of Ds @Rasmussen_Poll found would agreed with Graham would stay the same, while the overall “total” nationally, would decline.

Meaning, everyone jackass, not just Democrats.
