J. Edgar Hoover was building files on people starting in the Emma Goldman era.

Not entirely absurd.

I mean, it wouldn’t be weather satellites, but the ancient Romans could ahve built hot air balloons.

Check out a novel, “The Guns Above” by Robyn Bennis. Napoleonic war with air ships.

I have repeated this story numerous times.

After that tape came out, a conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Trump.

You should read the “Red Sun” comic.

Kal-El lands in the USSR and is raised by Stalin. Eventually Kal realizes that Stalin is a madman and kills him, but leads the world into glorious revolution. Only the USA under President Lex Luthor is free, and Superman is opposed by an orphan lad who saw his parents killed by the KGB.

Watch the movie “Network” with Faye Dunaway, Peter Finch, and William Holden

If I were the Dems, my platform would be to create 10 million pick and shovel jobs.

Besides the roads and bridges, we could rebuild the power grid.

Get the man babies out of the basements and give them real jobs.

And yes, I’m sure that there are a lot of women who’d love to drive dump trucks and run power lines.
