That hit the mark in more ways than one but left me feeling a little bottled up.

Sorry I misread your intent...I thought 20th ^^^ referred to Jan 20 inauguration day and This Too Shall Pass referred to the incoming president.

The Rube Goldberg Machine video you posted was awesome...

Carry On ....:-)

Peace. I think the folks who build the machine are all Trump supporters. They are showing a method on how to make anything great again. Just don't call it Rube Goldberg. I wonder if they had to drop the piano more than once. They had shot the color cannons more than once.

tt, OK Go is the band. Syyn Labs is the group who built the Rube Goldberg machine.

Syyn Labs first gained notoriety for their production of OK GO's award-winning, viral video “This Too Shall Pass” that has garnered over 44 million hits. Syyn Labs has since been commissioned to cultivate multi-faceted programs for Google, Sears, Disney XD, LACMA, Wonka, Microsoft, Target and Endemol USA, to name a few.

On the You Tube page there is note that states it took 85 takes to get through all of the crashes. The video was made in 2010, prescient, and has been viewed 55 million times. iasitk! (i am so in the know!)

Interior secretary nominee says overhaul of national parks should be part of Trump infrastructure plan

Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke's comments are some of the first by a Trump nominee on infrastructure spending, a topic that congressional Republicans have been eyeing warily amid concerns about the cost and scope of Trump’s ambitions.

What the hell does this mean??

Senor iasitk, is there a sequel?

Is there a Rube Moore's law which predicts how soon the filming approaches just one take?

It means DT is gonna build a lo-o-ong-ass string of Towers, knock one over and let it happen.

Six astonishing things Betsy DeVos said — and refused to say — at her confirmation hearing

One example: She wouldn't say guns don't belong in schools — and cited one school at risk from “potential grizzlies.” Bears, that is.
