It could be that. He has been impeached twice, he is being investigated by the 6th committee, I am pretty sure that Georgia is about to launch some charges as well. If I’m not mistaken the head of the FBI was hired by Trump. I know that a Federal Judge has to approve the search warrant. But from what I am reading, it has more to do with classified documents that he took with him. It could be that he did not know it was illegal to take such documents, and that this will really rally his base. Actually I have no doubt that it will. It could also lead to some other things, and maybe open the door for Desantis, and a few others. I’ve watched and read as much as possible on the 6th hearings, there have been some enlightening moments. But he reminds me of the Teflon Don. I would not be surprised for this to turn into something that helps him with his fans/cult. If in fact it was all a big nothing, and there are a ton of people totally complicate in this witch hunt, and it is totally a big nothing burger, well I hope that is shown to be the case. It’s amazing how polarizing he and his administration are and we’re, and how polarizing American Politics have become. No one believes anything anymore. Certainly there has always been a level of distrust. For him and his family, I hope that he isn’t guilty of anything that could ruin the rest of his and their lives. That wouldn’t be good for them, or any of us. If this is truly just a left witch hunt, I hope it is proven to be so. If it is truly illegal, and he has acted in an illegal manner and his actions prove to be so, I hope that his base will accept the outcome. We should all be allowed to have and see the truth. No matter where it leads. For him and his family, maybe having run and won the Presidency was too much. Or, maybe the entire world is out to get him. I simply don’t know.

Well, we are in new territory. It is certainly a terrible thing to happen to any person, and certainly a former President. I suppose we will have to wait on the outcome of the investigation. For the White House not to know that there was a raid seems a tad unlikely considering who it is. However, I would hope that all of us can hold judgment until we know what they are looking for and investigating. For anyone to jump to any conclusions one way or another is just pure speculation. Maybe he is totally innocent, and the FBI has it all wrong. I don’t want to jump on any silly conspiracy theories.

Wow!!! I am blown away. I just showed my wife this thread and we were both totally amazed. To think of the the millions of people who have watched and enjoyed that movie, and that specific part of the movie is beyond amazing. Thank you so very much for finding this forum/site and posting and participating. You are truly in Zeppelin folklore. You are beyond appreciated.

Yeah, that guy might not be playing with a full deck anymore. Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me? Is there is anyone home?

Hahahhahaha! There was a picture of her up right after she had slammed into a car before she went on that rampage. To say that she didn’t look so healthy would be an understatement. What a great movie Donnie Brasco was. I’ll try and find the pic, she did have on a cute Tank Top/ wife beater.

Well, I don’t know it would be an ouch situation, or why it would leave a mark. It’s just not true. Simply put people can believe it they don’t want to look at actual statistics. below are just a couple of many articles and publications that would happen to argue directly against what was posted without any facts or stats to back it up. How about we have a murder problem in our country, and people can try and paint it whatever way they want. But the facts don’t back it up. The funny thing is, I’m an independent. I just won’t simply believe whatever is posted by some right leaning blog. I’m not a Newscum fan, which was pretty creative way of saying his name. I chuckled at that. https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem http://www.cjcj.org/uploads/cjcj/documents/californias_republican_counties_have_worse_crime_trends.pdf https://www.salon.com/2022/03/16/democrats-for--but-new-data-shows-higher-rates-in-red-states/ https://news.yahoo.com/republican-controlled-states-have-higher-murder-rates-than-democratic-ones-study-212137750.html

Yeah man, that is pretty gross. You know what is also gross, not having compassion. What public service do you do, what community are you helping. Again another post about California and our terrible ways. Let me know what state you live in. We can all find things about each state that we don’t like and wish we could change. In my earlier posts you would have read about the policies and practices of this state that I don’t appreciate. You’re so busy trying to troll and win an argument rather than having an actual discussion.

You can look at any of my posts talking about this great nation of ours. Your posts are filled with exactly what you have above. As far as freaking out, man read your last several posts. I get it, your sensitive, we all are John. I challenge you to find me saying anything disparaging about the other states. If you want to constantly post about California being a total mess, New York, or any of the states that are liberal leaning you are just showing your ignorant, incompetent, brainwashed, cult way of thinking. I absolutely know what it means to have a United States. On the other hand your constant rubbish of comparing America to the fall of the USSR, and all your other posts that simply troll have become tiresome. I also know I have may posts in which I have shown my appreciation for your answers and or thoughts. On the other hand you are usually a know it all disrespectful member. I’m always for an open honest debate. If you want to get disrespectful, I can as well.

You get the fuck out nerd! I didn’t begin to say that we should. I simply was letting you know how important the states you love to hate are to your life and world. You like to post idiotic crap from your little proud boy posts. I’m sorry you don’t like how much the blue states contribute to your life. Again, talk tough on a forum.

Having read your absolute ignorant response again made me laugh my ass off. California has our nations largest port, which has everything to do with our largest trading partners, China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan. If just figured into the equation our food, and agriculture which is over half the countries supply, as well as being responsible for over 90% of the country’s wine. We can then talk about the all the major corporations, Cisco, Apple, Google, Facebook, Disney. The 295 Billion dollar entertainment industry. Now I know you are on some real funny blogs. The water supply from our state, the electric supply, and Solar supply to neighboring states. over 46% of our land is Government owned and our oil supply alone would be crippling to the rest of the country. As I’ve said before, we are all entitled to our own opinions, but to actually think about removing 2 of the 3 largest contributors California being the largest contributor to our country and the impact that would have on the rest of the country and saying you are all for it? That has to be one of the most ignorant things you have ever said. To actually think of removing the largest contributor to the tech industry, agriculture, food, solar, entertainment, and by far the largest economy to our country. Talk about community college thinking. We wouldn’t be letting the door hitting us in our ass, we would be slamming it into your face.

You can’t be serious. Cali alone is responsible for over half the countries fruit and vegetables. We can look at our economy, and any number of metrics. 12 percent of our population lives in Cali, we are responsible for 15% of the National GDP. What a jackass thing to say. The country wouldn’t be what it is without the contributions of NY and California. You’re a funny little conspiracy theorist. You and your peaceful separation. Talk tough on a forum.

Yeah man, she has some issues. I feel like something like this has happened before with her. Certainly not the fire and her catching on fire. But hit and runs, drinking and driving and so forth. She is very lucky she did not kill and or hurt anyone.

Red, you win the internet today. The last several posts are gold Jerry!

RIP Roger E. Mosley. Biggest arms in TV history.

Watching these lessons is really a reminder of what an absolute genius Jimmy is. The tunings, strum patterns, and the overall complexity of his music. We are all truly blessed to have the ability to listen to his and their music. Incredible.

Maybe we are arguing separate issues. But to say that Blue states do not subsidize Red states is very misleading, and it is not accurate. The link below is from the Rockefeller inst. as well as the AP. https://apnews.com/article/north-america-business-local-taxes-ap-top-news-politics-2f83c72de1bd440d92cdbc0d3b6bc08c https://www.minnpost.com/eric-black-ink/2021/12/what-would-happen-if-blue-states-stopped-paying-for-red-states/

Thanks for your reply. Whether I agree with you or not, I know that I will get a well thought out response. Backed up with research. Have a great weekend John. Cheers.

Thanks for your snarky reply. That was just one of many articles I’ve been reading. I’ll post as many as you would like. I’m fully aware of my states issues. And as I have said I’m not a huge fan of our current Governor. I’ll tell you what, just simply type into any server you want to use, and type in what states have the highest crime rates. Which states are the poorest, or most reliant on welfare, we can search anything you would like. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/01/13/most-dangerous-states-in-america-violent-crime-murder-rate/40968963/ http://www.usa.com/rank/us--crime-index--state-rank.htm https://newrepublic.com/amp/article/166274/economy-record-republicans-vs-democrats And because you will say that they are left leaning, let’s try this one. https://www.thebalance.com/democrats-vs-republicans-which-is-better-for-the-economy-4771839

We have indeed lost some of our population, 0.3% or there about. There also has been the loss of Fortune 500 companies. I am very aware of our voting procedures in the State. I know that Dump made a ton of bogus claims, as he has always done. Let’s see, with Obama’s election in 2012 he was saying it was a sham, in the primaries he also said the same thing, in the Iowa Caucuses he claimed that Ted Cruz “stole it”. Also said that favorite line of his “it’s very bad”. He actually said “based on the crime that Ted Cruz committed we should have a new election “. Leading into the 2016 election when he thought he was going to be beat by Hillary he was crying foul play and sham elections. Although he was trounced in the popular vote he also claimed to have won that. Not that this matters but had the audacity to say he had the biggest inauguration crowd ever. That was actually hilarious to watch Mr. Spicer argue that. And then the 2020 election. Really nothing to see here. It really is strange that he has been trying this tactic for many years and has never had one shred of evidence. I am also very familiar with the political make up of our state and it’s past Governors. I’m also not a fan of our current Governor at all. He is a total ass hat. I’m not a big fan of a lot of our states policies, the absolute joke of our public electric utility company, there are many problems in this state. Just as there are in every state of this great nation. What I’m also not a fan of is watching a growing group of a political party do their best to destroy our Republic, to demonize anyone that doesn’t think like they do. The group of people who are beholden to a religious sect that is trying to impose their beliefs and practices on the entire country. Take a moment to read the article below. https://newrepublic.com/amp/article/166274/economy-record-republicans-vs-democrats

That’s funny. Easy to read which states are the most reliant on welfare. As far as farming, I live in one of the richest farming areas in the country, Ca produces the most vegetables. Fruit, I believe that Ca is 3rd in Beef production. Certainly there is far more to farming then the 3 mentioned. But for you to try and deny facts is just ridiculous. The state that I live in is the 5th largest economy in the world. The top 10 poorest states are absolutely Red states. Crime is also based on a per capita rating. As an example East Palo Alto was the Murder capitol of the country in the early 1990’s, there are less then 10k people who lived there. Call it Community College, or just look at facts.

Sorry to post this on the Deep Purple thread. I guess I just don’t get it with this band. It’s like nails on a chalkboard. Ian G’s voice literally makes me angry. I suppose if you like someone screaming with literally no vocal control and or talent. I suppose Richie B is a good guitarist. I have tried for years now. I’m 45 years old, I just can’t appreciate it at all. And for those who compare them to band which this site is dedicated too, I’m blown away. They are in different leagues, playing a different sport. Again, I know that there are several people on this forum who appreciate them. I really do apologize for this opinion. But to even mention them in the same breath is like mentioning Buck Cherry compared to Bad Company. And that isn’t as strongly as I feel about it. It would be like comparing The Darkness to Zeppelin. Again, I’m going to be hated for this probably, and for all of the DP fans I’m not trying to troll at all. I simply don’t get it. I will say to have gone onto this thread and to have posted this opinion I would absolutely understand the hate I will receive. Be well Zeppelin Friends and fans.

That’s rich. How about just look at the article. You are absolutely incorrect. Just as all of the poorest states, and states that are most reliant on welfare are Red States. You can try and spin it anyway you want. Blue states take care of Red states. The absolute poorest, crime ridden, least educated states in the union are Red. How about you start posting facts. I easily can. My point is, it’s not red or blue. We are all citizens of the United States. But if we want to talk facts, look at economics, look at crime, and look at the actual facts, it is uncomfortable for people who lean to the right. I will also be clear, I’m not saying that the left/blue is better. I personally just feel the right is moving in a dangerous direction and like to put everything on the left and act like they are the cause. Let’s just for fun go back to 1990 and look at all that has happened. What metric would you like to use. I will gladly play along. How about we all try and do better for each other. Rather then have this team mentality. It’s not the responsible thing to do. Or stay in your corner and believe all the bullshit that you are being force fed from all of the shit blogs, news sites, publications and programs you consume. If you want to talk economics, social programs, crime, recessions, and really dive into into it. Let’s do that. It is easy to find and read.

John, I truly do dig a lot of what you have to say on music, your thoughts and opinions related to it. I think you are stretching here. Is everything in your life red or blue? Is it all dark, is someone is out to get you. I really encourage you to start looking at life from another perspective. Get off of Zero credibility, and start looking into things that make you uncomfortable. For example, the the thread from and Article from { The Hill } that I posted. We can all grab statistics from many different publications and come to different conclusions. This ideology that one party is better than the other, and that some orange man had your back and was for you is utter crap. I would absolutely love to have a serious debate with you, to present actual facts and not alternative facts, as they do not exist. You are on a Covid thread talking about space pictures. I get where you are coming from. But when you post these types of stories from the least credible Blog site it doesn’t look good. Zero Hedge/creditably regardless of the story is leaning on way, and has literally no credibility at all. That is like someone from the left posting a story from Huffington Post. Except they actually fact check shit. But if you read an article that I posted from that publication you would immediately call bullshit. Even if it had relevance, and truth, and facts. I understand what you are going for with this post, it is just out there as you implied and not relevant. Maybe I am reading too much into what you posted, I just can’t help but go back through your posts and see all the shit that comes from that site. It’s a blog, you could be a blogger for them. Please show me any credible publication that says they are fair, or balanced, and that they report their staff and correct their mistakes when made. Even if what you posted is accurate, it is far worse then any far left publication that you are so quick to call out. Be well. Have a great weekend.

This is one of the funniest posts I’ve ever read. Just so we are very clear, Deep Purple isn’t in the same league as Zeppelin. They are not in the same stadium, and they wouldn’t be playing the same sport. Comparing Deep Purple to Zeppelin is actually disrespectful. Deep Purple would be like a pretty good bar band compared to Zeppelin. But I respect your conviction, and dedication.

Man, the right can sure conspiracy. They are also without a doubt the best at calling the other party out for what their own failures are, as well as claiming responsibility for the successes of the other party, and they are 100% the best scare tactics, fear mongering. Just so we are clear Murder rates and crime rates are higher in Red States. Below is a small snipped from an article from The Hill. But I suppose in a segment of the Right truth no longer matters. Just spread crap and blame the other side. For the last two years, the nation has been awash in news accounts about soaring violent crime and murder in cities and states run by Democrats. That narrative is ubiquitous, particularly in conservative media, where Democratic mayors are routinely called out and excoriated for turning a blind eye to crime. That story is half right and half — to be charitable — lazy and wrong. Let’s dispatch with the part that is correct. We have a murder problem in America, Now, for the rest of the story. In a report Third Way recently released, we found that murder was much more prevalent in red states than blue states. That’s right. In 2020, homicide rates were a stunning 40 percent higher in the 25 states that former President Donald Trump won compared to the 25 won by current President Joe Biden. Of the 10 states with the highest 2020 per capita murder rates in America, eight of them not only voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, they voted Republican in every presidential election this century. Mississippi — a state that neither conjures up weak on crime images nor Democratic officeholders — topped the charts with a 2020 murder rate twice that of blue Illinois, thrice that of bluer California, and four times that of bluest New York. The red states of Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Missouri rounded out the top five and each had murder rates at least six times Massachusetts, four times New Jersey and just shy of twice that of Michigan. These blue states are home to the “crime-is-out-of-control” cities you read about daily — Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Boston, Newark and Detroit. They generate the headlines, the outrage and the political backlash. Yet, media coverage is essentially mum about Lexington, Kentucky, which has set back-to-back murder records, has a homicide rate twice that of New York City and has a Republican mayor. Tulsa and Oklahoma City have Republican mayors, a Republican governor and murder rates that dwarf that of Los Angeles. Jacksonville was the murder capital of Florida in 2020 with its Republican mayor, governor and a stratospheric homicide rate that if it were matched in New York City would’ve added more than 1,000 murders that year. And to top it off, the homicide rate in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) San Francisco was half that of House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) Bakersfield, the largest city in Kern County and one with a Republican mayor — with overwhelming Trump support and not a whiff of flirtation with defund the police movements. In fact, the murder capital of California for six years running is sleepy Kern County, 130 miles from Los Angeles and 306 miles from San Francisco, the two California locales most often associated with the crime-is-out-of-control national headlines that have dominated U.S. crime and political coverage.
