Hey slm!
AdLib a day ago

Hey Ad
sillylittleme
a day ago

How are you this fine evening?
AdLib a day ago

Ever so high and you?
sillylittleme
a day ago

I’ll get there!
AdLib a day ago

I’ll bet Harleigh’s on top of that!
AdLib a day ago

Hey folks! I’m not asleep tonight!!!
Harleigh
a day ago

Don’t worry Ad, Trump’s candidacy will be over when the fox on his head decides to retire
sillylittleme
a day ago

Glad you’re awake, Harleigh! Always the best way to have conversations!
AdLib a day ago

There’s a meme going around from star trek that rumps hair is a tribble.
Harleigh
a day ago

Hey Harleigh
sillylittleme
a day ago

High SLM… me also too! LOL
Harleigh
a day ago

slm – Trump’s candidacy will be over when the acid wears off in the GOP.
AdLib a day ago

Ad – they must be tripping, the only explanation for the line up of characters runnin for prez
sillylittleme
a day ago

Harleigh – Trump’s hair is like a tribble…that was turned inside-out in a faulty transporter.
AdLib a day ago

Hey Glenn
sillylittleme
a day ago

good evening, all. Just checking in to see if you all are working hard enough!
glenn
a day ago

ad – LOL
Harleigh
a day ago

Or, I should say, working more!
glenn
a day ago

trying to get higher glenn. wanna toke?
Harleigh
a day ago

slm – Repubs are hypocrites. They’re pro family but cheat on their wives. So they may claim they’re anti-drugs but they sure seem pretty high when it comes to their candidates.
AdLib a day ago

Harleigh–sure why not? High is better than low!
glenn
a day ago

Ad–repubs are high on hypocrisy! They live for it! Almost a complete change of subject, but how can the congress critters even think about selling/flying a flag that represents treason? Why is there even a question about it? SMH!
glenn
a day ago

So is Cheney gonna pick himself again if Jeb! wins the nod?
sillylittleme
a day ago

I can’t believe the repube lineup. Not a serious candidate in the bunch. I posted something about it on ‘The Hill and they fuckin deleted my comment!
Harleigh
a day ago

I have started to hate merika because of the baggers. It is time to finish off the myth that this is still a great country like the Bush cabal nearly did! I want to see a total demise of this nazi-like country and a Palin – Bachmann 2016 ticket for jebus would be a great start. We don’t have to settle with being #37 in HC when we can eliminate insurance for 45% of the population and continue to pay twice as much as the more successful developed countries that all have single payer systems. We could drop to that level on our internets like the baggers have in our educational school systems also too! Who needs all that speed or knowledge or truth? If a bridge or tunnel collapses so what? Find another route. Yay murika. Palin – Bachmann 2016 ticket for jebus! Glory halalujer, y’all come n git yer screech on for murikkka!
Harleigh
a day ago

SLM–would cheney’s vp nomination come before or after he is tried for criminal charges at The Hague?
glenn
a day ago

glenn – Yep, that flag represents treason AND pro-slavery. Think about it, they haven’t changed their views in all these generations so of course they are pro-treason and pro-slavery and want to worship that flag.
AdLib a day ago

Glenn – did you see the article about that this week? W is considered too stupid to be tried, but Cheney still could be…
sillylittleme
a day ago

W is a retard
Harleigh
a day ago

slm – I’m really not so sure the Repub base will elect Bush as their nom. They compromised with McCain then Romney, I think they want one of their own this time.
AdLib a day ago

SLM–I saw the headline, but didn’t read the article. I’ll read the article when it says cheney is on trial! What an evil man he is!
glenn
a day ago

Ms Linsey??
Harleigh
a day ago

Harleigh–well Ms. Linsey says s/he wants war, war, war, so I’m sure the repubs love how “tough” s/he is!
glenn
a day ago

Harleigh – perish the thought (fanning self before falling slowly and dramatically to the couch)
sillylittleme
a day ago

LMAO
Harleigh
a day ago

Glenn/Harleigh – our first transgender president?
sillylittleme
a day ago

Ad–one of “their own”–meaning the stupidest one? Now that I think about it, how can you tell which one is the stupidest?
glenn
a day ago

Harleigh – The GOP has decayed into a party of small minded weirdos who get elected by small minded weirdos in their states and districts. When they present themselves to the majority of Americans, thinking they will be just as appreciated, they’re bewildered by the repulsion people feel towards them.
AdLib a day ago

SLM–possibly! Anything is possible in the gop clown car!
glenn
a day ago

glenn – An IQ test wouldn’t work to figure out which was the dumbest Repub because it doesn’t score negative numbers.
AdLib a day ago

Glenn – I was referring to Ms Lindsay
sillylittleme
a day ago

Ad–your theory about small-minded weirdos is spot on, but it doesn’t “explain” trump’s popularity!
glenn
a day ago

Glenn – there are some who don’t realize that reality tv is scripted
sillylittleme
a day ago

SLM–I knew who you meant. And, I repeat, it is possible that Ms. Lindsay could cop the nomination. After all, the gop clown car put the palindora box of lunacy in a position to be a heartbeat away from the presidency!
glenn
a day ago

rump they think is the smart rich one that will save murikkka and make them all rich!
Harleigh
a day ago

glenn – Keep in mind that only 16% of the GOP supports him, that’s not 16% of the country or even 16% of all voters. That’s 16% of around 40% of voters which is actually only 6.4% of voters. So that ain’t a lot of support in reality.
AdLib a day ago

Harleigh–how many times will the US have to go bankrupt before we all become rich like the rump?
glenn
a day ago

Haleigh – if they only knew that he’s constantly broke and sells his name for money
sillylittleme
a day ago

Ad–since when do repubs deal in reality? Still, it blows my mind that someone so hateful could be even considered for President. Really, what are these people thinking? Sorry, shouldn’t have used the words “really” or “thinking” when talking about repubs.
glenn
a day ago

oh geez glenn, all a real worin murikkkan has to do is to go down ta da store for more beer and win the lottery and all their dreams will come true.
Harleigh
a day ago

SLM–now he can’t even sell his name any more. It will be interesting to see if he goes bankrupt running for President. Sure would do my heart good!
glenn
a day ago

and find a girl with faraway eyes also too!! LOL
Harleigh
a day ago

Harleigh–oops, I forgot about the lottery. That’s the way to get rich!
glenn
a day ago

hey ppo
Harleigh
a day ago

hey, harleigh, everyone!
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

glenn, I wonder if the support for him is really that of wanting him to be president or more a way of “liking” him so he’ll continue expressing his racism and hatred?
AdLib a day ago

Hey Pink
sillylittleme
a day ago

Hey PPO!
AdLib a day ago

Ad – excellent point
sillylittleme
a day ago

hi slm, long time…
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Hey PPO–how goes it?
glenn
a day ago

ad he’s a fad. Look at the wild rotation to the top last cycle! even nein nein nein had a month on top. how fuckin weird was that?
Harleigh
a day ago

I must admit though, I am looking forward to that first debate! How will the others out-loony Trump? It should be amazing tv!
AdLib a day ago

hi, glenn,,,sameold, sameold. Delighted about serena in the wimbledon finals.’
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Evening all – great to see you!
choicelady
a day ago

Hi, cl!
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Hi Choice
sillylittleme
a day ago

hey cl
Harleigh
a day ago

Ad–could be. I just don’t think that most of the people who “like” the rump are that subtle.
glenn
a day ago

Hey Sabreen
sillylittleme
a day ago

Hello good folks!
Sabreen60
a day ago

most of rumps fans are white ttrash baggers. Makes no sense at all.
Harleigh
a day ago

Ad–but now foxsocallednews is trying to change the debate rules from polling to money raised. Figures it would be all about money!
glenn
a day ago

Hi SLM and Harleigh – haven’t seen you for some time. Great to see you, glenn, AdLib, PPO, and now Sabreen. Hail hail – the gang’s not ALL here but several of us indeed.
choicelady
a day ago

Harleigh – I don’t think it’s the same as last time, when the GOP loons passed around the top spot. For the core Repubs, Trump has the star power and crass style that none of the others can match. I don’t think he will drop down more than 4th until he gets out of the race.
AdLib a day ago

Hey, CL, hey Sabreen!
glenn
a day ago

is it true that, if Trump wins the election, he’ll add 35 storeys to the WH and make a golf course on the South Lawn?
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Harleigh – I think there are a lot of middle class The Donald supporters.
choicelady
a day ago

PPO – and he will have topless swimmers in the Reflecting Pool.
choicelady
a day ago

Hey CL! Can I be so bold as to ask for some cyber applause for Choicelady for guest hosting Vox so wonderfully for 2 of the past 3 weeks?
AdLib a day ago

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
AdLib a day ago

Who is going to be STUPID enough to give HIM money?? LOL Same as Myth and his wife Money Boo Boo.
Harleigh
a day ago

Pink – He’ll rename all of the buildings after himself
sillylittleme
a day ago

PPO–Not to mention putting “trump” in huge letters on the portico!
glenn
a day ago

AdLib – aw shucks. T’wernt nothin’! I loved every minute of it.
choicelady
a day ago

CL–do you really think trump has middle-class supporters? Why?
glenn
a day ago

Cl, clapclapclapclap…whistle…. calls of ‘encore. encore’ from the ecstatic audience.
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Harleiigh – MONEY BOOBOO!!!! Too funny!!!
choicelady
a day ago

{{{APPLAUSE}}} even though I was asleep.
Harleigh
a day ago

Ad–standing ovation here for CL–even though I misse4d last week!
glenn
a day ago

CL –
CLAP! CLAP!


Sabreen60
a day ago

PPO – thank you and love you all! Harleigh – it’s OK. You were here in spirit.
choicelady
a day ago

Thank you dear Sabreen. Always fun when I CAN be here. Life is intruding a lot lately. Damn.
choicelady
a day ago

I got stoned and I missed it – Dr, Hook
Harleigh
a day ago

glenn – I don’t look at it as subtle, just the opposite. I don’t think they’re sophisticated enough to consider if they want Trump as their President, they just choose him in polls because they love his rudeness and racism. That’s pretty simple minded, actually.
AdLib a day ago

CL – I enjoy you wherever I find you!
Sabreen60
a day ago

glenn – we figured you had a life, and we hope we were correct.
choicelady
a day ago

Hey Sabreen!
AdLib a day ago

Sabeen – and I you!!
choicelady
a day ago

Note to WordPress…. new emoticon for clapping, please!
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

CL–yes, when I do have a life, I tend to enjoy it!
glenn
a day ago

AdLib – How are you?
Sabreen60
a day ago

fatass Crisco will float to the top for awhile until he’s indicted.
Harleigh
a day ago

PPO – that’s one that is missing, yes!
choicelady
a day ago

glenn – as well you should
choicelady
a day ago

CL – I really appreciated it! Thanks so much!
AdLib a day ago

Harleigh – WHICH fat ass crisco – Christie?
choicelady
a day ago

yep
Harleigh
a day ago

AdLib – it was a pleasure. I’m just glad our schedules worked out well.
choicelady
a day ago

Sabreen – Very well, been away on vacation and back in the swing again. How are things your way?
AdLib a day ago

Ad–you may be right. These are the type of people, who, as my grandmother used to say, “would cut off their nose to spite their face.”
glenn
a day ago

Bush has pulled in $115 million!
Harleigh
a day ago

Sabreen – due to changes in the Department of LAbor on overtime, we HAD to let AdLib out for vacation.
choicelady
a day ago

Poor Chris Christie, he thought he would be get the rude loudmouth vote! He must be hating Trump.
AdLib a day ago

Harleigh, goes to ahow there are 114 million fools out there
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

I saw on Twitter, Brewer is all for Trump – surprise, surprise.
Sabreen60
a day ago

BRB
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

CL – Obama’s fault!
Sabreen60
a day ago

Harleigh–that’s just what I was thinking–once christie gets in the race, he and the rump will compete to see who can be the rudest, most crass, and most boorish! Just the character traits I”m looking for in my next President!
glenn
a day ago

Who in reality would want a 3rd Bush admin. holyyyy fffuuuucccck
Harleigh
a day ago

glenn – That’s the way Repubs like voters. White, ignorant and small minded enough to support a party that is 99% against them just so they can have that 1% of support to hate other people.
AdLib a day ago

I think they all are saying what they really think because if same sex marriage is the law of the land then anything goes…
sillylittleme
a day ago

Sabreen – isn’t everything Obama’s fault?
choicelady
a day ago

CL – Exactly!
Sabreen60
a day ago

CL it IS! even the price of gas!
Harleigh
a day ago

glenn – Christie doesn’t have a prayer at beating Trump on being loud and obnoxious, it’s Mini Me vs. Dr. Evil.
AdLib a day ago

SLM – the religious right believes that if you include LGBT people in mainstream society, they won’t have to come to them and repent. That they see as a major loss on their point scale about getting into Heaven.
choicelady
a day ago

All – Whatever it is, I blame Obama.
choicelady
a day ago

Harleigh – The Dominionists would want a 3rd Bush Presidency since it would likely bring the end of the world they want so desperately.
AdLib a day ago

or you can take a trip off the rails with Piyush Jindal who now thinks he is a white southern man. JFC
Harleigh
a day ago

AdLLib – well, will Christie be the ‘rational’ nasty vs the batshit crazy nasty? Is there nuance here?
choicelady
a day ago

Ad–I don’t know about that. I’ve never heard trump tell a constitutent to “sit down and shut up”. I think both of them have taken obnoxiousness to new levels, just different ways of obnoxiousness.
glenn
a day ago

BRB or BBL 

Sabreen60
a day ago

glenn – in the CNN interview he basically told the woman she was too stupid to ask questions so should shut up, though not in those words. Same differencee.
choicelady
a day ago

CL–exactly. Which type of obnoxiousness do you prefer?
glenn
a day ago

CL – Very interesting. When you take away the RW’s ability to point at others who live their lives differently and not be able to condemn them as going to hell because that “sin” has been invalidated by society, that really is upsetting to their whole mindset.
AdLib a day ago

Sabfreen – you’d better BRB or BBL!
choicelady
a day ago

glenn – neither, but I love the GOP give me choices!
choicelady
a day ago

I think Crazy Carson has already surged too.
Harleigh
a day ago

CL – Yes, Christie will be Trump Lite…but like the New Coke, who wants that when you can have Classic Trump.
AdLib a day ago

AdLib – oh, they’ll still point fingers and make up lies about them, but yeah – ‘normalization’ takes away the RW religious freaks’ power.
choicelady
a day ago

CL–okay, I give. They’re both obnoxious! And, I agree, I just “love” the choices the gop gives me. Thankfully, I don’t have to vote for any or either of them!
glenn
a day ago

AdLib – I think people will see Christie as the ‘bold truth teller’ and The Donald as the wingnut. There is a difference.
choicelady
a day ago

glenn – that, not having to vote for either, is the best choice of all!
choicelady
a day ago

glenn – But Christie is still Governor so he can’t throw around wildly crazy statements the way Trump can. Trump doesn’t have any boundaries he has to respect, Christie as a sitting pol does so he can’t go as far.
AdLib a day ago

Cl–ain’t that the truth?
glenn
a day ago

My big question about the rapture is why/what would jebus want with all those fuckin assholes? yay Huck!
Harleigh
a day ago

AD–being a sitting pol doesn’t seem to hinder christie too much!
glenn
a day ago

Harleigh – I’m thinking that Carson will rival Trump in the polls after the first debate. As I mentioned, neither are politicians so they have nothing to lose and can get as crazy as they want.
AdLib a day ago

Harleigh – we totally ask the same question. Who’d WANT those people?
choicelady
a day ago

Ad–but does carson have high enough poll numbers, or is he raking in enough money to qualify for the debates?
glenn
a day ago

The world will be really cool after jebus takes them all away. I hope he drops them all off in the vacuum of space close to the sun.
Harleigh
a day ago

Anyone – I am an historian though not of elections, but I seriously cannot remember an era in history, not even ante-bellum, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, when we were visited by such rotten candidates as what the GOP has given us now.
choicelady
a day ago

glenn – I don’t know, Christie sure got on his best behavior after Bridgegate. Now he’s mouthing off again but his poll numbers in NJ are way underwater so it’s really hurting him. Any Gov who clearly won’t win his own state creates a big argument against himself.
AdLib a day ago

Harleigh – best button ever: When the Rapture comes, will you REALLY go away?
choicelady
a day ago

I WANT ONE CL!!!
Harleigh
a day ago

Ad–That’s christie’s biggest problem–he can’t even carry his own state. And, I’d love to see the rump run ads showing christie hugging President Obama. That would really ruin christie’s chances!
glenn
a day ago

Harleigh – if I can find one, it’s yours!
choicelady
a day ago

sad News, Omar Sharif has passed away, age 83.
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

glenn – Yep, Carson is usually in the top 5 and sometimes in the top 2 in polling. I think he can get the kind of temporary bump to the top that Newt, Santorum, etc. got in 2012 but he will lose it like they did. Trump on the other hand, I think he will keep a good chunk of support throughout.
AdLib a day ago

PPO – oh that IS sad. He was magnificent!
choicelady
a day ago

PPO–saw that about Sharif. He was one sexy dude!
glenn
a day ago

Thanks honey! 

Harleigh
a day ago

glenn – you and I are about the same age, so…oh yessssssss.
choicelady
a day ago

CL – How about a little tweak to that? “When the Rapture comes, will you finally go away?”
AdLib a day ago

Ad – I’d rather they poofed away and the rest of humanity can get on with living…
sillylittleme
a day ago

Another button: Make Love, Not war, Bring back Clinton!
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Pink – the rally cry is #feelthebern
sillylittleme
a day ago

Ad–holy cow! Can you imagine a trump candidacy? That would be even better than Harleigh’s “dream ticket” of bachmann/palin or palin/bachmann. Who would be trump’s vp?
glenn
a day ago

AdLib – either way works for me! SLM – I totally agree. I’m feeling fairly certain that if they are whisked away, it won’t be to where they THINK they are going!
choicelady
a day ago

blow jobs are better than bombs!
Harleigh
a day ago

CL–I loved his voice, (too)!
glenn
a day ago

glenn – I feel I can say with certainty that Trump’s VP will NOT be a person of color.
choicelady
a day ago

FUNK!!!
choicelady
a day ago

Hey Funk – love your location
sillylittleme
a day ago

Christie’s unfavorable rating is 50% against 28% favorable. He simply can’t win.
AdLib a day ago

Harleigh–is that hillary’s campaign slogan? Although, she wasn’t the one giving the bj!
glenn
a day ago

Harleigh – given the GOP track record they clearly agree, but they won’t admit it in public.
choicelady
a day ago

LOL
Harleigh
a day ago

Imagine at Rapture’s Gate, to be greeted with : Oh, Hello! I’m Julian and this is my Friend, Sandy!
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

CL–aw c’mon! It could be carson.
glenn
a day ago

PPO – or Hi – I am Adam. This is Steve.
choicelady
a day ago

Hi Everyone!
funksands
a day ago

Funk! How come you’re flying the American flag in your name section instead of the Confederate in you are at the Southern Heritage Museum?
AdLib a day ago

CL, 😆
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

glenn – if it is, Carson will live in the shadows to The Donald.
choicelady
a day ago

hey funk, welcome to the rapture mon!
Harleigh
a day ago

Incognito
funksands
a day ago

Hey Funk–how are you? I feel like I haven’t “seen” you in a while.
glenn
a day ago

Funk – where were you last week while I was host? Just because it was a holiday is NO excuse!
choicelady
a day ago

Hiya Funk!
Sabreen60
a day ago

brb
funksands
a day ago

glenn – No way there would ever be a Trump candidacy but it is amusing to imagine. The GOP would get its biggest trouncing in American history!
AdLib a day ago

CL–think the rump will fire his vp?
glenn
a day ago

AdLib – I dunno – I think the hyper Left not voting could make The Donald a reality. Shudder.
choicelady
a day ago

Ad–I know–wouldn’t that trouncing be sweet?
glenn
a day ago

glenn – it’s all the rump knows.
choicelady
a day ago

Has the TRUMPet opened his financial records yet? Interesting fiction there, I’m sure.
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

If the Rapture happened and Jesus came back, I could imagine the RWs running to him and him staring back at them, saying, “What is wrong with you people?”
AdLib a day ago

Ad – they’d shoot first then ask questions later
sillylittleme
a day ago

Has anybody here actually listened to or read all about Carson yet? He is unhinged. seriously I cannot believe he’s even in the race.
Harleigh
a day ago

Ad, yes, along with : What part of the NEW teatament didn’t you understand?
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Pink – he’ll be out before they’re due
sillylittleme
a day ago

Ad–the right wing woudn’t recognize Jesus. He’d be too busy helping poor people, and the rw would shun him and tell him to get a job!
glenn
a day ago

CL – I don’t know, I think Fox News, The Kochs and the handful of other billionaires that run and own the GOP would turn their guns on Trump and eventually knock him down enough for another goofball to win.
AdLib a day ago

so true glenn!
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Jebus was taken to a local Red State ER after a construction accident. The admissions clerk told him he was an undocumented, illegal, non-white alien foreigner from a country that no longer exists, taking a merikan’s job, has no visa or green card much less insurance and could not be treated there. The attending physician admonished him saying that a man of his age should not be working up on a ladder anyway and therefore everything else was a pre-existing condition. He was immediately discharged and directed to the free clinic across town…. that was closed by tbagr budget cuts. He was then picked up by the INS and is awaiting deportation to a country that no longer exists.
Harleigh
a day ago

AdLib – doesn’t it depend on whether Trump kowtows to them?
choicelady
a day ago

Okay, I’m back
funksands
a day ago

Harleigh, that doesn’t sound like the nativity story??!!
funksands
a day ago

The first thing that the RWs would say to Jesus is, “You’re not Jesus, you’re not white with blue eyes!” Then they would crucify him as a fraud and wait for “the real Jesus” to come.
AdLib a day ago

Harleigh – that is one of the most horrific stories EVER. I have no words.
choicelady
a day ago

CL–somehow, I don’t see the rump kowtowing to the kochs. He considers himself at least as rich as them; therefore, he’s “equal” and can’t be “tamed”.
glenn
a day ago

I can just see rump trying to be buddies with Adelson. yeah right.
Harleigh
a day ago

BRB
glenn
a day ago

They’re going to cut Trump’s throat. He’s not ready for this.
funksands
a day ago

Harleigh – Carson is Trump minus the volume.
AdLib a day ago

CL – I know you saw my battle with Matt Taibbi. He’s such a jerk as are his dudebros and dudettes.
Sabreen60
a day ago

glenn – I think he MIGHT see himself as an equal, and if they approach him that way, he’d be a GREAT ally. 

choicelady
a day ago

Sabrenn – brava dear friend for taking on the Taibbi! He needs a swift kick!
choicelady
a day ago

I’m just sick and tired of those fat bastards playing Monopoly with the people of the USA, just for fun. Disgusting
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Harleigh – If he and rump’s daddy were pals back in the day, he could very well finance his run
sillylittleme
a day ago

Funk that was adult jebus here today. Baby jebus would be considered a anchor baby.
Harleigh
a day ago

BRB
choicelady
a day ago

Sabreen – what about Taibbi?
sillylittleme
a day ago

CL – I don’t think so, the Kochs and all know that they won’t own Trump so they don’t want him to win, they want their puppets in office. So I think they would easily find or fabricate all kinds of dirt on Trump that would turn enough Repub voters against him so another loon they support could win.
AdLib a day ago

Ad, I don’t think any fabrication of dirt is needed. There’s enough real stuff, I’m sure.
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

Rubio or cruz would fit that mold.
Harleigh
a day ago

AdLib – that’s a good point.
choicelady
a day ago

Funk – I completely agree, Trump has no idea how brutal the Kochs and all are and how they will take him down at all costs. That will be very amusing to watch.
AdLib a day ago

All – who thought we’d be rooting for the Koch brothers????
choicelady
a day ago

BRB
pinkpantheroz
a day ago

PPO – True but the Kochs love lying to exaggerate outrage against those they oppose, it will be a lot of fun to watch them frag Trump.
AdLib a day ago

He won’t be able to take his shows to faux when they turn on him!
Harleigh
a day ago

Trump as a sacrifice. Wow. Will be bloody but interesting! 

choicelady
a day ago

The MOTU don’t want an unpredictable blusterer who doesn’t need their money as the nominee. They’ll make short work of him.
funksands
a day ago

slm – He wrote a hit piece on Eric Holder for Rolling Stone. It was full of assumptions and bordered on slander. I called him out on Twitter and responded with a negative comment about POTUS. He claimed to have been an enthusiatic supporter of the President, but PBO has been “just awful on issues he’s covered”. I told yeah, he didn’t get his glitter pony. He came back asking me if there was anything I disagree with POTUS about. I gave him a one word answer – NO! If thought I was going to get into a convo with him, a known Obama hater he was totally mistaken.
Sabreen60
a day ago

CL – I’m just rooting for The Kochs to battle Trump. It’s Godzilla vs. Ghidorah! Get the popcorn!
AdLib a day ago

Jindal – Carson – We’re really white ya’ll!
Harleigh
a day ago

Don’t know if this is true, but it’s what the Washington rag – I mean Post reported: The head of the Republican National Committee, responding to demands from increasingly worried party leaders, spent nearly an hour Wednesday on the phone with Donald Trump, urging the presidential candidate to tone down his inflammatory comments about immigration that have infuriated a key election constituency.

good point, murph. Maybe the Candidates who avoid the debate will be more successful that those who show up and display their ignorance for all to see.

Ad…..my post to you got chopped….it strikes me that Kasich is playing a cat’s paw game in all of this……he has the best record of the GOP govs…..Christie, Jindl, Bush and Walker…

Murph – It always seems to be a kind of tug of war that goes back and forth when you try to bring society forward. You may be right, the backlash from pushing back racism could be the rise of more racists into seats there but that two will eventually cause a backlash I think.

Bush was not a great Governor nor is Walker. Trump is an obnoxious idiot and Ben Carson doesn’t know which end of a popsicle to lick. Those are your GOP frontrunners. Will their supporters look to a less extremist, unexciting candidate like Kasich instead? I doubt it.
AdLib 21 hours ago

the problem is that Clinton seems to be a certainty, but what if something happens? I think hillary is the only person who can beat herself. and then what? (Shhhh. don’t wake Nirek!)

Dr Bagger Ben Carson TERRIFYING 911 call/transcript: early one morning…. 911; ‘911 what’s your emergency?’ DBC; ‘there’s a n!gg3r in my bafroom!’ he blurts in a rather breathless panicked voice 911; ‘there’s someone in your bathroom sir? Do you know who it is?’ DBC; ‘I don’t think so I only saw him out of the corner of my eye while I was shaving! Send someone right AWAY! He’s trapped in the bafroom, I put a chair up against the doornob!’ he exclaims. 911; ‘OK sir a car is pulling up now with 2 officers, stay on the line and let them in OK?’ opening front door DBC; ‘OK but he may be armed I saw he had something in his hand!’ opens front door. COP1; ‘OH MY EYES!! Don’t you have anything to cover yourself with? Geez! COP2; giggle snort giggle DBC; ‘my room is down the hall past the bafroom where the n!gg3r is! I was too scared to go down that hallway! Cop2; opens front door coat closet and hands DBC his trenchcoat ‘put this on… please.’ Cops approach the ‘bafroom’ followed by DBC. Cop1; ‘Sir your bafroom… uh bathroom door opens to the inside so this chair won’t stop anyone from opening the door.’ looking at Cop2 incredulously. DBC; ‘Well I was kinda panicked and it always works in the movies and NCIS!’ he said condescendingly. Cop1 opens baf… bathroom door, picks up and moves chair with guns drawn pointing into an empty bathroom. ‘There’s nobody here, you stay here sir while my partner checks the rest of the house. How tall was the n!.. intruder sir? DBC; ‘About the same as me I think, it all happened so fast!’. Cop1; ‘Is this what he had in his hand?’ Cop1 holds up a disposable BIC razor. DBC; ‘Maybe or it could have been a machete or a gun!’. Cop1 pulling the slightly opened double side mirrors startling DBC, ‘You saw a side view of yourself sir… there wasn’t another n!.. uh anybody else in here.’ DBC examining mirrors ‘Well what will they think of next? All these mirrors and different views would scare anybody!’. Cops eye rolling at each other incredulously, ‘Yeah right. Well you have a good day sir. Next time please call social services and maybe they can help you OK?’

Murph – Kasich doesn’t have 6 months, this year is very different. If he can’t get in the debates soon, he will quickly become irrelevant as those getting the publicity from debates build their leads. In another year, Kasich could have ahd a strong chance but in this huge field with little name recognition nationwide, he has little chance to rise up and little time.
