Black and strong is the only tea flavour.
Black/green/pureh as long as it's pure tea with no crap adulterating it.
Happy rainy morning
And?
Reality bites?
Are you saying that sometimes it is better to think Loki than low key?
More furniture on the dance floor?
Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1799.
That's one difference.
Andrew Jackson had one heck of a party at his inauguration.
This Day in History: Andrew Jackson’s raucous inauguration
On this day in 1829, Andrew Jackson is inaugurated for the first time. The event was a raucous affair that would surely never be allowed today. Can you believe that people were even jumping out of White House windows by the time the party was over?The inauguration came on the heels of a...
One Washington socialite, Margaret Smith, later wrote: “Thousands and thousands of people, without distinction of rank, collected in an immense mass round the Capitol, silent, orderly and tranquil, with their eyes fixed on the front of that edifice, waiting the appearance of the President in the portico.”
Except the “silent, orderly and tranquil” crowd did not stay that way for too long. After Jackson’s inauguration speech, a cable separating the public from the Capitol steps broke. Smith described the crowd that broke through: “[T]hey rushed up the steps all eager to shake hands with [Jackson]. It was with difficulty he made his way through the Capitol and down the hill to the gateway that opens on the avenue. Here for a moment he was stopped. The living mass was impenetrable.”
Jackson rode his horse back to the White House with the crowd close behind. By tradition, the executive mansion was open to the public on inauguration day. In the past, relatively small receptions had been held, but in 1829, the White House was completely overrun! People flooded the mansion, knocking over furniture, spilling beverages, and breaking china. At one point, Jackson was basically backed up against a wall, completely surrounded by well-wishers.
Smith’s description continues: “Ladies fainted, men were seen with bloody noses and such a scene of confusion took place as is impossible to describe,—those who got in could not get out by the door again, but had to scramble out of windows.” Jackson himself was finally forced to climb out a window so he could escape to a local hotel.
To be fair, it should be noted that some Jackson supporters later claimed that the tales of drunkenness and damage at the inaugural party were a bit exaggerated by his political enemies. But neither side disputes that an enormous crowd descended upon the White House, forcing the new President to make an escape.
That looks like a bigger crowd than Trump had. And I see the medical AI from Voyager was time traveling again.Andrew Jackson had one heck of a party at his inauguration.

It wouldn't have been a party without Buffalo Bill.
Are you being controversial or is this a segue into a proposal to train the other Great Ape species to perform all our menial labor tasks? Is this how that all starts?
