I own a Martin Custom X Series 12-string (made in Mexico with the HPL back and sides) and it sounds really great, but I've been wanting to upgrade to something all solid wood, and that Guild F-1512 is on my shortlist. However, I've also recently started thinking about getting an electric 12-string. I don't know anything about the Reverend, but it looks great. I'm also really digging this Danelectro:

So, I haven't been to ACL Fest in several years. Are they still selling 1- and 2-day passes? Or only 3-day?

Pretty sure this isn't how you're supposed to do damage control.

NRA? Seems like a bad fit considering her propensity to shoot herself in the foot.

In for Sturgill, the rest is gravy.

One of the biggest MAGA/Trumpers on my Facebook feed, a guy from my hometown, just posted this without the slightest bit of irony or self-awareness. I mean, this could be the damn MAGA playbook for fuck sake.

woohoo!! Yes, let's go X Man 🤘

LOL. I always thought "Trump Derangement Syndrome" describes the cult-like MAGA followers much more accurately than it does his detractors.

And now some of them want to run for office. They stormed the US Capitol in 2021 - now they want to serve there

House conservatives have a special group dedicated to preserving their power. Of course, it's called the FART team. "The publication reported that the Freedom Caucus does not expect any such maneuvers but is remaining vigilant just in case any of their colleagues try to be silent but deadly to their cause." Well played, MSN. ISWYDT.

He's a man! He's.....209!

Next time they'll just "forget" to sign it https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/7a30b7cc-20a3-46ab-9858-12efbe9dec06

I don't get it either. My whole family votes Trump - both my sisters, their husbands, and most of their now voting-age kids, as well as my parents (who are in their 80s, so they're gonna vote R no matter what). But they're all otherwise intelligent, college-educated, successful people. They just flat-out refuse, for whatever reason, to see what the rest of us see. My oldest sister is the worst. She's full-on MAGA, and hangs around with like-minded people, belives in conspiracies, etc. It kills me. I've usually bitten my tongue, but she recently forwarded me Tucker Carlson's documentary on "what really happened on Jan. 6" (her words). I couldn't take it and finally lashed out, told her what I think of Tucker/Trump/MAGA. She asked me how I could support someone like Biden, who "sold our country out to China", Burisma, etc, etc. All the bullshit. I asked her how she could support someone who tried to overthrow an election and was found guilty of years of fraud and liable for rape. Her response? "IT'S ALL A WITCH HUNT!"... I give up. It makes me truly sad.

MO ex-Proud Boy who wore ‘Right Wing Death Squad’ cap to Capitol on Jan. 6 found guilty Daniel Desrochers, Judy L. Thomas Wed, April 3, 2024 at 3:43 PM CDT·7 min read 112 A southeast Missouri man with ties to the Kansas City-area Proud Boys pleaded guilty Wednesday to two felonies involving the Capitol riot and was found guilty by a judge on a third felony count. Nicholas Kennedy, 43, of Sikeston, entered a guilty plea in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to one count of civil disorder and one count of tampering with records, documents or other objects. And Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly found him guilty of a felony count for obstruction of an official proceeding based on an agreed set of facts between the government and Kennedy’s attorneys. Kennedy’s sentencing has been scheduled for Aug. 28. He faces a likely sentence of between 18 months and 24 months in prison, but could be subject to a maximum of 20 years in prison on two of the felony charges. https://www.yahoo.com/news/mo-ex-proud-boy-wore-204348327.html

Totally not a cult...
