The Robert Mueller Investigation
These are defenses that are usually relied on by the lawyers of mentally disabled people and juveniles. "The FBI tricked me" should not fly for someone who was supposedly qualified to be a National Security Advisor.

The Robert Mueller Investigation
Yeah, this is an interesting poster child for prison reform. But there's nothing wrong with being consistent. For any nonviolent non-danger to himself/herself/others person, solitary should be off the table. Also, the optics are not great if we're going to shame Russia for human rights abuses/Magnitsky and then not-quite-torture-but-you're-getting-there to one of its citizens.

If the adderall stuff is true, can you imagine the guy when he's unmedicated? At peak performance he's semi-literate and capable of holding a coherent thought for 20 seconds tops.

How Fox News works
Poor guy. Fox News is supposed to be a safespaceTM. Hopefully him and his the beliefs "in his heart" were comforted in the support booth. This is the post truth world. "Sorry to disappoint you but I have this unshakeable gut feeling that Democrats and George Soros are supporting The CaravanTM. Please adjust your reality accordingly. Also, we need to talk about Q Anon."

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
It is constant ineptitude from all directions. Even the totally unrelated chyron is maddening. Don't forget about the giant factory farm bailout that we need because China predictably retaliated against our steel tariffs like a totally rational actor.

I looked at those Milkmans. God they are not cheap. Milkman and other boutiques are selling 1 watt amps now for like $1,500.00 and up. I feel like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. That's three tubes, some wires, a transformer and a speaker? They don't put bourbon or nothing in it?

Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
Radial makes a ton of DI shit. They have DIs for every occasion. Their stuff is top of the line but can get expensive. Although, I think they've become more competitively priced in the last few years. http://www.radialeng.com/product_category/direct-box Found one on Sweetwater specifically for acoustics and for $150.

I sold an amp last week for $215 more than I paid for it about 2 years ago and just bought this for $100 less than the listed price, with a set of JJ 6V6s, a Keeley Caverns pedal, and a Warehouse WGS ET65 speaker thrown in. NGD imminent.

I'm going to do an Ultimate 70's Pedalboard like I did for the 80's. Stay tuned.

The Guitar Pron Thread
That '62 appears to be Sonic Blue or "Daphne Blue" I have always what the f "daphne" is, expecting it to be a flower or some shit, and I just googled this: "Daphne (/ˈdæfni/; Greek: Δάφνη, meaning "laurel") a minor figure in Greek mythology, is a naiad, a variety of female nymph associated with fountains, wells, springs, streams, brooks and other bodies of freshwater. She is said by ancient sources variously to have been a daughter of the river god Peneus and the nymph Creusa in Thessaly (Hyginus Fabulae 203) or of Ladon (the river Ladon in Arcadia) or Pineios, and to Ge (or Gaia) (Pausanias and others)." So I guess that alludes to this water nymph. Sounds like the subject of some gay ass Robert Plant or Robert Hunter lyrics that the rest of the band would have vetoed.

That white Strat needs a version without the fretboard. Just solid maple.

I skimmed through your post too quickly and assumed that was your daughter. So take that compliment too, I guess.

It's always fun to get on Reverb and search stuff from the 1950's and 1960's and then sort by price, high to low. Some of the shit looks like it was made in the last 5 years. These amps are all original except for a tube/3 prong plug here and there. 1956 Deluxe 1959 Bassman 1966 Princeton Reverb 1964 Deluxe Reverb 1965 Pro Reverb
