LIVE ELECTION NIGHT CHAT @ 5:00 pm PT TONIGHT!
As a great way to share this experience, PlanetPOV is hosting a live chat (live typed comments) tonight to discuss the night's results as they come in along with everything else this election will bring and what folks think it will mean for the future.
We Need to Stop Playing Trump’s Game
It is long past time to stop playing Trump’s game of racism, hate, misogyny, and abject greed. If Trump is elected, he will end democracy as we know it. Harris will preserve it and work to make it better and far more inclusive so we can have it, as Lincoln said, a more perfect union. It will only happen if you vote.

Am I old, wrong or just plain sexist, but should she have worn a blouse for her “presidential” statement?
A trip down memory lane?
Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama
After Tucson shootings, Sarah Palin isn’t retreating, she’s reloading

MSNBC is dealing with the same situation even as we speak, Khirad, with Pat Buchanan ardently defending his “woman” Sarah (who, we find out, is going to speak at a gun show this week!).
Liked this paragraph from the article:
Introducing Ms. Palin
Google? You-Tube?
Unbelievable bito, like closing your eyes and picking a place on a map with your finger. The fact that they can even sit there and talk about it is quite amazing. I have no time for the Mark whateverhisname guy on the left (of the screen I mean) otherwise he’s quite Right in his leanings on that awful “Morning Joe” show.
So now we know how McCain chose his VP, Eeny Meeny Miny Mo. I thank the Lord he lost, now I just wish he’s get over it.
kalima,
yes dear i do, and a brilliant rhinestone saddle to boot, which I cherish.
however, being the self-absorbed, liberal democrat i am, i have decided there needs to be more payback for my efforts. forget the pony, just focus on the damn mug thingy already. 😉
***and since when did “news” pundits become clinical psychologists and/or psychiatrists?
what is it about “fueling a fire” these people (pundit/analysts) don’t understand?
Puhleeze?!?
Sarah Lee Harasser needs to set every last one of them straight; thank you very much.
I am sick and tired of professionals attempting to be professional in their non-profession of choice. Good grief!
Yes, I wanted to be a nurse like kes, oh my goodness, did i ever. However, I have enough common sense, much less stupidity, to know I am BEYOND unqualified to analyze what kes does when she is caring for her patients.
Gwen, and Washington Week, has just lost a viewer. As soon as I wrap my head around this, I intend to write a long, hand-written and candid letter to Gwen. I was so proud of her when she left NBC, yet the Koch Boys, however remotely, sign her paycheck.
I could go on and on, but this is not the appropriate venue.
Seriously? Just pisses me off!
“Mugythingy” boomer, did the cats break your’s?
I’m all for getting annoyed about things I believe are wrong and do admire your letter writing, but believe that staying annoyed is only harming ourselves both mentally and physically. If I thought that all the screaming and shouting around us would do any good, I would say go for it, however remember who you are dealing with, this won’t change the basic feelings or conscience of any of them. They are biding their time like rabid dogs, ears and tails low until they feel it’s safe to start all over again. The public might have had second thoughts about the bitterness of the past two years or more, but the politicians saw how well it worked for them in the midterms, do you think that they will change lanes now that they have control of the House, I don’t.
So as much as I cheer you on, watch your BP, none of them are worth a trip to the hospital, none of them are worth the dog poop that we occasionally might step in, they are the dog poop that we might occasionally step in. Take off your shoe and scape them off. The more loudly we protest, the more they will enjoy making us mad, you can’t reason with people who have no idea of wrong and right, these people who have no conscience stay that way.
Oh dear boomer, when you hear what I was required to analyze (and that word is sooooo extremely appropriate) this past week, you will never envy a nurse again.
Scenario: patient’s given current obsession is swallowing her own jewelry. The earring is clearly visible in her colon on the x-ray.
What would be the only way to make sure the patient is in the clear?
(Keeping in mind that when kidney stones are suspected, the order is to “strain all urine.”)
Give a dose of Dulcolax, then pretend you are on a archaeological dig? 😉
Sarah Lee Harasser!
Are you putting less salt in your baking?
LMAO
You love my chocolate cake. ADMIT IT!
So what if it makes people bloat? It’s worth every penny of a box of OTC diuretic pills
I tried SO HARD to be a troll on this site. What gave me away!?
The the vocabulary, the spelling, the sentence structure–but most of all–the HUMOR! It’s so you.
THE SPELLING?!!! 😆 😆 😆
Sure! She can’t spell. And she never heard of Wm. F. Buckley.
The real Sarah Palin thinks William Buckley invented the belt buckle.
Sure she, er, I have. He’s the guy who got all angry debatey with Gore Vidal.
Everybody knows that!
I thought PBS was a commie thing, all that Q& A and thinking.
bito, {{{{I am the secret lover of Bill Moyers}}}}.
Didn’t know that they got PBS at the Warshilla Hash House.
Hey, do you have a good recipe for red jacket hash?
Your lack of a lobotomy.
Tokyo gave you up — handed you over on a sarahplatter as ot were. 😆
Who, ME???????
OG?!!!
How could you? 😉
😆 😆 😆
You know I love you to “little mint balls”, but girl, you were out of control. Just look at your Gravatar, she actually looks cute. 😯
For a second there I thought you had written Oh God, now you made me feel bad about outing you. 😉
Kalima– I can’t stop laughing! See, now you know why I added that edit that made you laugh. 🙂
Yes, you did make me laugh Cher, thanks a bunch.
” IT’S NOT ME” indeed. 😆
The fact that nobody doesn’t like you?
Double negatives, kes, make my head hurt!
Oh futz, I forgot I signed out 😳
Busted!

Are views from FB part of the total?
They should be.
Howard Stern vomits on Palin–scroll down for the audio. As far as I’m concerned, he nails it, and her. (WARNING: offensive language!)

I am not a big fan of his but LOVE this!
I haven’t listened since he went to Sirius, but I miss him. Not all of his show, but moments like this…!
He also makes a valid point: If anyone had put Sarah’s family in any crosshairs, it would be the end of the world.
That David Lettermen thing is the truth!
Double standard!
I’ve never been a fan, but he brought this one home; think of all the people who heard him — maybe some of them had a “light-bulb” moment.
And the Letterman comparison was spot on.
Talkin’ ’bout me are ya? I like that!
There’s a thin line between love ‘n hate, my friends.
LOL
Are you supposed to be Sarah Palin?
Could you tell us the newspapers that you read?
Could you tell us the books that you’ve read in the last 6 months?
Would you tell us your plans to bridge the differences and reach across the aisle?
Do you believe that President Obama is a United States citizen?
Do you think that the lame-stream media never gives you the chance to tell the country your plans on bringing back JOBS?
Do you think that Social Security and Medicare need to be ended to save the deficit?
Do you believe in a minimum wage?
Do you support more tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations?
Do you think that the USA must go to war with North Korea?
and
Iran
No to all. None of that is important (Except yes to war with North Korea. That Kim Jonquil makes me daffy).
By Apocalypse year 2012, my brand of nihistic conservatism will make this country great again.
U R quite the dominionatrix, aren’t you?
Provocatrix also too.
I am the new Ronald Reagan.
Blood Adlibel and the rest of you libs can kiss the tundra of my nether regions.
Nice try juxtaposing me defending myself and Obama addressing the good people of Tucson. Apples and Oranges anyone?
I have prodigious intellectual gifts. I just play ignorant to appear folksy. William F. Buckley couldn’t out wordsmith me hard as he tried, poor dude.
“prodigious” does that mean you have a bunch of kids?
Got a fertile mind and bod, my fluorescent purple be-tentacled one.
Fun is over. Go talk to yourself.
Bito, I think she might be someone we know. I’m not sure who yet, but I have a suspicion, and if I’m right, she’s not all bad. 😉
EDIT: IT’S NOT ME!
LOL Cher!
Exactly.
And do you know the meaning of ‘SNARK’?
😆 for your EDIT.
Same as Kalima. 😉 What is the new term for multiple personalities?
Not me either! So who is missing?
Not me……
Talk is over. Go have “fun” with yourself.
Fun is all talk.
She may be trying to say she’s a “pro” with her “digits”.
Prodigits?
Heh! That’s BlooAdLibel to you!
Apples and oranges and Tundra, oh my!
Your ingenuous plan is working, everything is falling into place. You’ve got us suckered into a false sense of superiority and just when we laugh you off…your Tea Party army tears off their Tea Bags to reveal Harvard Diplomas and mind control devices to force us to vote for you.
How fiendish! It won’t be easy, to win us over you’ll still have to triumph in a high stakes game of Q and A, with us being the A and your being the Q.
May the best non-secessionist win!
Bito, Patsy and I decided she meant Blood Oranges. Or Blood sausage.
The L was to be a B
Blood Bible
HA I knew it… hey she is good at this…
You had NO idea Patsy (please say you were fooled!)
Well, that real Sarah just isn’t very clever or wordsmithy, and she does not know how to have any fun!
But I know who is very clever, wordsmithy and fun loving!
Hey you can always play SLH any time you want!
You can always find a playmate here!
OK AdLib did kinda give it away.
Not I, “BlooAdlibel”
If the “Q” is meant to intimitate…
Huh? Whatever are you referring to? 😉
Ya’ just gave yourself up girl. You betcha’!
***EDIT***I only take one blood pressure tab a day; don’t want to take more. Stop messin’ with my BP woman!
Ha!
Sarah who?
Isn’t she a ‘Reality TV’ person?
Why should we care what Reality TV Sarah Palin thinks?
Did anyone ask Snookie her opinion?
Snookie also wrote a book, but thank you very much, I’ll pass on spending money to buy that book.
Suggestion, everyone watch on You-Tube and if you are able, comment.
Already, at 214 views.
Bito, thanks for the assist! BTW, views are counted through embedding too so if you watch it here or there, it will be counted just the same. Still, adding comments on our YouTube page would be great.
Almost 250 views so far since this morning, not bad. Thanks all!!!
I didn’t know that, AdLib, thanks.
Oh, wow. That was masterful– and I wish all the networks had this video!! The. End.
Actually, I just published a piece that does something similar, but –oh gee–I kind of wish I’d read this first.
GREAT work, AdLib! Thank you for this.
Thanks so much Cher! When I was putting it together, it did seem so undeniable to me who Palin was and how small and contemptible she really is. I hope some Swing Voters see this, they might resolve themselves against ever supporting her.
BTW, I really enjoyed your post and it does explore in different directions. I think our posts nicely compliment each other!
But since I beat you to it, the first round is on you!
You’re cool cause I can see your country from my window.
“Your country from my window” — hmmm. Do I win a pony or at least a Planet Mug if Google Earth takes me to Tokyo?
Cold boomer, not even close. I would pinpoint on the East Coast.
Moist Rabbit, aka Q, aka well, we won’t go there. 😀
***EDIT***Do I still win the damn pony or at the very least a Planet Mug? 😆
It’s Friday, a bad week, I tired, and I give up. No more from me.
I thought that you already had a pony? 🙂
Moist Rabbit 😆 !!
or…. Moist Rarebit? 😉
I betcha you can see Katz’s Deli from your window. And I wish I had that view!
>>>>>CRUNCH<<<<<<<
~ of a dill pickle 🙂
This is a close to any debate she has ever had, remember what she said at the VP debate about not answering questions.
“Can I call you Joe?”
Heck bit, she couldn’t even remember Biden’s name, let alone debate him on the issues!
BDM, that was a crude question. What was Senator Biden supposed to say at the time?
Of course we probably suspect what he would have liked to say. 😉
Bito, when you think about her VP debate, this is far more of a debate than that. She just parroted the same speeches and accusations in her debate with Biden, I do think this is far more effective and enlightening than that.
A side note, some comments this video got on another site were complaints that it diminishes Obama and his speech by cutting in Palin, that we should only be revering Obama’s speech and just ignoring Palin.
I don’t subscribe to the strategy of closing one’s eyes to reality when it’s displeasing.
The bottom line is that Palin could indeed still win the GOP primary in 2012 and run against Obama for the presidency. Ignoring her won’t make this possibility go away, it would only keep one from being prepared for it should it happen.
On one hand, I understand and relate to those who feel we should just stop caring about what Palin says and does, it only empowers her further. On the other hand, if all Dems ignored her, she would still have the MSM, Tea Partiers and many in the GOP still promoting her towards the Presidency.
I would rather face an adversary head on and be sure of their defeat than turn my back on them because I “knew” they’d never be able to attack or defeat me.
AdLib, I used to be in the “ignore” camp too, until, like you, I realized it was extremely dangerous to do so. The ignoring should have come immediately after she and McCain lost. after that it was too late.
For a while, I saw the same media exposure on Christine O’Donnell–AFTER she lost. Effington was putting out stories about her antics every day, and I thought, “Here we go again.” But for now, it seems to have, thankfully, abated.
Yep, I think the MSM was way to happy to elevate her when she became McCain’s VP and seeing how polarizing she became, they wouldn’t let her go even after the election.
You’re so right, she should have been shut down and tossed aside after the election…if our mMSM wasn’t so corrupt and greedy. We have to face it, the MSM makes decisions for their bottom line that harms our democracy and nation. It is pretty troubling.
On the flip side, look at what all the publicity did to Angle, Miller and O’Donnell, by giving attention to them and seeing what nutjobs they are, we and the majority of Americans were able to defeat them even with such a powerfully Republican tide.
Anyone who denies Palin was a force in the Nov elections and thinks she can be ignored without consequence will be completely unprepared to defeat her in the future.
AdLib, yes, we have to remember that the Republican primaries are set up as winner take all. She may not get a large percentage of the vote but she can get the most.
“How can I forget you if you won’t go away” 😆
It always makes the red flag go up with me when I hear fellow Dems so matter-of-fact about “knowing” a Repub can’t win and declaring that they should just be ignored.
Remember what a joke Reagan was? Even Nixon was thought to be a has-been. And Bush? Many Dems were so sure such a doofus couldn’t beat Gore in light of such a successful economy…
When you assume you make an “ass” out of “ume”…or something like that.
