The Beer Bar

Who thinks the klan Trump rally in Tulsa tomorrow is a good idea? Oh, and Happy Juneteenth.

Yes

Many of us have time to watch and view videos on Netflix or other platforms. What are your favorites or recommendations? I am really loving Heartland on Netflix. It is LONG. VERY Long. But, it is easy to watch and very enjoyable! I have also enjoyed The Politician by Ryan Murphy. I am not yet sure about Snowpiercer. But, I've been watching it anyway.

My number one is always eztv.io Pirate Bay has been acting odd for me for a bit. I mostly look for American TV shows. Any suggestions?

Yes, this was abuse and should not have happened. Jeeze. Why are cops not understanding their actions are not acceptable? I watched the video and am truly ashamed of the way our young black youths are being treated. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/15/us/tulsa-jaywalking-arrest-new-video/index.html

In America, White male voters often vote on whether or not they'd like to have a beer with the candidate. With a female candidate, these same voters will ask, "Do I want to fuck her?" Nobody wanted to have sex with Hillary, and she lost. I don't think the same will be true for Ivanka. Oh, to Be Ivanka! Don't miss the comment section. Such fun reading.

Supreme Court says gay, transgender workers are protected by federal law forbidding discrimination on the basis of sex THIS is so much important than gay marriage! Kudos to the 2 Conservative judges who joined the Liberal minority.

Heidi Klum accused of 'fatphobia' and 'body-shaming' for buzzing plus-size 'AGT' dancer. I don't watch "America's Got Talent," but apparently the internet is crawling up Heidi's ass for fat shaming. I love a good fat-shame fight, especially if it involves a former model, so I couldn't resist taking a peek at this storm. I always have a soft-spot in my heart for FAT dancers. They always make me smile. It is not easy being a FAT dancer, but those who succeed in bringing the house down, I think they deserve just props. But I do always fear witnessing on live television cardiac arrest. I guess that tension is just part of the thrill of watching. The same is tru…

From South China Morning Post Coronavirus turns Teflon Thailand’s wealth gap into a economic chasm As Covid-19 eats into exports and tourism, the gap between rich and poor in one of the world’s most unequal countries is only getting wider With both the lower and middle classes now facing ruin, ‘Teflon’ Thailand’s reputation for weathering financial crises is feeling the heat like never before On a roadside in a mixed Bangkok neighbourhood stands a shiny metal box – a “Pantry of Sharing” – where the haves in one of the world’s least equal countries can leave f…

In light of the way that Colin Kaepernick was treated by the NFL- essentially forced out of the league- can one put a shred of confidence in the sincerity of Roger Goodell when he says: “The NFL family is greatly saddened by the tragic events across our country,” Goodell said in the statement. “The protesters’ reactions to these incidents reflect the pain, anger and frustration that so many of us feel. “Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Mr. George Floyd and to those who have lost loved ones, including the families of Ms. Breonna Taylor in Louisville, and Mr. Ahmaud Arbery, the cousin of Tracy Walker of the Detroit Lions. “As current events dra…
