Riddle Sideways: continue to get fooled
Riddle Sideways: "Come together, right now, over me"
Adams Rubble: “There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
Riddle Sideways: laughs

Riddle Sideways: "don't ask me, I don't give a damn"
Adams Rubble: and it's five, six seven open up the pearly gates
Riddle Sideways: whoopie we're all goin die

Riddle Sideways: what if Nixon had have been elected
Riddle Sideways: hind sight has sugar coated stuff?
Riddle Sideways: mmmmm, nope
Riddle Sideways: "The Song Remains the Same"
Adams Rubble: Nixon was more cunning and more subtle (can't believe I said that)
Adams Rubble: but the rhetoric now is much for dangerous to our democracy
Adams Rubble: Trump is Nixon and George wallace all rolled up into one
