And its worked. His dumb voters already believe what he’s done is justice and will make them greater. This is the sort of person who honestly believes Europe is at best a second-world sort of basket case and the whole world relies on the US, but has somehow taken advantage of them (Democrat Presidents, obvs)

It’s ok: he’ll add it in with sharpie later…!

Come on: this is a nation with some of the lowest literacy and numeracy standards in the developed world. McDonalds tried, and failed, to sell the 1/3 pounder burger because customers believed it was smaller than the 1/4 pounder (no, it isn’t urban myth.)

Trump and his cronies have little political knowledge of Carney (given he’s been a banker), and they’re waiting to size him up. Although obviously he’s a weak-willed, liberal pushover or something.

I have already seen some comment on the lines of: “it was a mistake, it can’t happen again” from maga voters…

I have quite a few american friends on facebook and have read lots about it today. It’s utterly surreal and yet completely believable. Nothing will come of it of note and next week something even dafter will knock this into touch.

Ofc they were; and maga supporters just say it’s not the same and they’re doing a good job. It’s nearly pointless holding them to account. Harsh excision is the answer!

I’m going to say it, because several politicians have also referred to it to point out the hypocrisy of saying it’s no big deal: ”but her emails…”

He’d best stay on the ground floor and avoid windows for a while…

It’s 30 years since Supergrass’ debut album; that’s time dilation for you!

Crikey: tell him he’s a wanger…

Cor, even live music suffers from the corporate overwork as standard model!

Oh yes: "I set the sustain to sometime after the heat death of the universe..." (or something like that.)

Thanks for posting that; I do like Rick Beato's interviews. Tony's one of my fave players - loved him since I heard him on the LTE albums, then discovered King Crimson and the epic trio of albums he was on, and then lots of other stuff - the metallic bass on half the tracks on Union (the Yes album no one admits to owning or liking, or somesuch.) Love his quirkiness - funk fingers!, Chapman Stick work, love of Espresso machines, some good solo stuff too. Amazing to think he played for JFK as a teen, and is still making fine music in 2024 - hope there's a live album for the Beat tour.

Exactly - writing some half decent songs (there are loads of small bands that have written great songs that get nowhere), and being promoted in the right places at the right time. The rest is hype. Oasis became more popular because they were popular and it was cool to like them to fit in - same as every other emerging big band.
