So I figured out what the problem is and also the solution. The problem is the speechwriter. The solution is: Fire Trump's speechwriter! Yep yep. That'll do it! Well, you know a POTUS doesn't write his own speeches....

The Punkest Of All Punk Rock Derek Jarmans Jubilee Movie

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 3 Oct 18

The original British punk rock movement, in all its anger, fire, fury and anarchy only lasted three years, from 1977 to to 1979. To many it was best embodied in the work of The Sex Pistols, but for me it reached its peak in a...

Why I Never Liked The Sex Pistols

Go Crossbones @crossbones27 (52905) • Mojave, California 26 Dec 16

That is because we might as well change this song to Anarchy in the US . Of course, England just had Brexit. Pretty funny to think the US separated from England, but now wants to be all like them. I guess that is with the right...

sons of anarchy..?

its-logos-plus-logic @flowerchilde (12529) • United States 28 Apr 12

Is there a 'Sons of Anarchy', the book? I've watched the first episode of the series and like the premise of it - the son finds his father's journal, the first leader of the sons of anarchy, and finds out they've wandered pretty...

kendedes2011 @kendedes2011 (2712) • Indonesia 21 Jan 11

When watching TV, I always do not like when the media use the word "anarchy" to replace the word "riot, chaos, ruin" because anarchism is only advocated "a system without government", if the destruction is more suitable use the...
