Vox Populi – 7-31-2015

Hey guys!

Beatlex

Where is my avie?

Beatlex

Adlib,wating on the results of my stomach x-rays.The crap they had me drink made me nauseus all day yesterday

Beatlex

It has been going on a while Adlib,test after test

Beatlex

Adlib.this is about the last thing they can try(I hope)

Beatlex

got my city fixed too!

Beatlex

Hi Guys. How was everyone’s week.

sillylittleme

Sorry to hear B, hope they figure it out.

sillylittleme

B – Nice pic

sillylittleme

Hear ya. Going to Foxboro to watch the boys practice tomorrow.

sillylittleme

Ya. We’re supposed to have good weather too.

sillylittleme

Hey Harleigh, Hey Glenn

sillylittleme

Hi guys!

Harleigh

Harls!!

Beatlex

Ad – I was waiting for the punchline

sillylittleme

Hey SLM, hey Beatlex, hey Harleigh, hey AdLib (last but not least)!

glenn

How goes it Glenn?

sillylittleme

Ad – Really?? Does she get eaten by a shark?

sillylittleme

SLM–Got a new smartphone for my birthday! My granddaughter is still teaching me how to use it; but I have most of the smart features figured out. I used to have a flip phone, which I loved, but my daughter and granddaughter wouldn’t let me use it in public, so they bought me a smart phone for my birthday last week.

glenn

I say the US send that killer dentist to Zibabwe! let him rot in a hot prison there,the heartless bastard

Beatlex

Beatlex–what a “he-man”, hey? I read that Zimbabwe is wanting to extradite him.

glenn

Hey peeps!

KillgoreTrout

Adlib,really,what a coward

Beatlex

Ad–only if they bait the dentist first. What he did was not hunting; it was a set up.

glenn

Hey KT–how goes it?

glenn

Quick bite for dinner.BRB

Beatlex

Glenn – that sounds great, you’ll love it

sillylittleme

So, KY where are you tonight?

glenn

oops KT

glenn

I think that lion murdering dentist should be thrown, screaming, from a helicopter! But that’s just me!

KillgoreTrout

Hey KT

sillylittleme

TOO kind KY

Harleigh

Hey glenn, Ad slm, B, Harleigh.

KillgoreTrout

KT

Harleigh

SLM–I already do. Except for the fact that it’s so much bigger than my flip phone and I have difficulty fitting it into my pocket.

glenn

Did you just confuse me with a jelly?

KillgoreTrout

Come on now didn’t anyone see “Little Shop of Horrors”? We all know dentists are psychopaths

sillylittleme

Ad–sounds good to me. Or a fake Christian costume; cause he certainly isn’t one!

glenn

FEED ME Seymore!

KillgoreTrout

Glenn – I don’t have that problem. You must have a small tush.

sillylittleme

Maybe we could take that human shitstain and drop in the lion pen of the San Diego zoo?

KillgoreTrout

LOL!

KillgoreTrout

Is shitstain one word, or two? Anybody?

KillgoreTrout

sillylittleme

I have a parody on cecil… wait fit it…

Harleigh

KT–I would say one word–just doesn’t sound right as two.

glenn

Why? The lion was no innocent here. What do you think your beloved ‘Cecil’ the lion was doing all day? He was mainly killing and eating zebras, wildebeest, and buffalo, raping the female lions, and killing off baby lion cubs. Hardly an innocent. As far as I’m concerned, it’s Karma. He got what was coming to him.

Harleigh

Thanks glenn, I agree.

KillgoreTrout

Harleigh – passing to you, chill. LOL!!

sillylittleme

Yeah, where does he come off doing what lions do?

KillgoreTrout

Harleigh–

glenn

toka toka thx slm!

Harleigh

Oh, I’m still in Ohio, glenn. For the time being.

KillgoreTrout

LOL adlib

Harleigh

Well Ad, those high tech bows are just unreliable.

KillgoreTrout

KT–I agree. After all, it takes about 40 hours for the kill, and even then, you have to waste some bullets.

glenn

Hey Murph!

glenn

Greetings, people of the Planet of Points of View.

MurphTheSurf3

hey murpg

Harleigh

What’s new, Murph?

glenn

Hey Murph

sillylittleme

There was some doosh on Salon yesterday defending this prick, with all her might. She claimed that trophy hunting pays for the conservation of wildlife. Can anybody tell me how subtraction equals addition? Anybody?

KillgoreTrout

Murph’s in the house!

KillgoreTrout

KT – republican math

sillylittleme

KT–It’s the math republicans and douchebags use to make themselves feel better.

glenn

Ah, that must be it slm.

KillgoreTrout

hello Harleigh, Silly Little Me, Glenn, Ad Lib, Kilgore Trout and Beatlex!Are you all in mourning over the bloodbath at MSNBC?

MurphTheSurf3

Ad – No what did she say?

sillylittleme

Murph – Who’s left? And did we get KO back?

sillylittleme

Murph, I am deeply saddened by the fact that MSBULLSHIT is keeping Chuck Toad.

KillgoreTrout

COMCAST owns MSNBC so it was expected

Harleigh

Murph–not sure I’d call it a bloodbath, but it certainly will change the “landscape” there. Any word on who will replace those who are leaving?

glenn

That explains a lot Harleigh!

KillgoreTrout

KT…Keeping him? THEY ARE EXPANDING MCCAIN’S STEPSON’S ROLE!

MurphTheSurf3

McCain’s stepson! LOL!

KillgoreTrout

You mean Chuck Todd, whose job is not to ask tough questions?

glenn

Softball Toad?

KillgoreTrout

toddis a not so stealthy bagger

Harleigh

SLM….the “Rev” (although I think he is next) Matthews, Maddow, Hayes, O’Donnell in the late afternoon and evening.

MurphTheSurf3

KT–the toadmaster?

glenn

I can see it now, Trump at bat, it’s the bottom of the 9th, and Toad lobs a soft one, right over the plate!

KillgoreTrout

Glenn…I think that Todd, and Williams are going to play a big role.

MurphTheSurf3

KT–And Trump starts at third base, and claims he hit a home run.

glenn

Did they also keep Rush Scarborough?

KillgoreTrout

Murph – well I can skip Matthews and watch Rachel through Larry

sillylittleme

I like Alex too, and Melissa-Harris Perry!

KillgoreTrout

MSNBC started to really suck when Olbermann left. Griffen made sure of that.

Harleigh

Murph–I’m sorry to hear that about Todd. I don’t watch Williams’ show, so don’t know about her.

glenn

Msnbc had to do something,all day and night it was the same stories with different guests

Beatlex

Mathews is just another screecher asshole.

Harleigh

B – that part won’t change

sillylittleme

Ad….Bilart and Roberts are good…..Hayes is a first rate journalist, Maddow is just excellent, and I have warmed up to O’Donnell.

MurphTheSurf3

Harleigh–I loved Olberman’s “Worst Person in the World”. O’Reilly probably holds the record for being named the most!

glenn

Are they still keeping those dreary prison shows on weekends? Man, that is some shitty programming.

KillgoreTrout

Bildo the klown!

Harleigh

KT–Yup–those prison shows and caught on camera! Never watch MSNBC on weekends!

glenn

O’Donell used to writ for the hit TV show West Wing. Great show.

KillgoreTrout

Oh man glenn, they are really bad. I think they’re meant to keep the populace scared straight.

KillgoreTrout

step outta line and don’t follow the “program,” and this is where you’ll end up! Horrible shyte!

KillgoreTrout

KT–didn’t know that about O’Donnell. I only catch his show once in a while; but as Beatlex says, his show was just a repeat of Hayes’ and Maddow’s. He had different guests, but same ol, same ol.

glenn

The Saturday and Sunday shows are very interesting because of their depth and guest line up. Both Kornacki and Perry are first rate moderators.

MurphTheSurf3

glenn, he asks some pretty good questions. I think he’s more Hardball than Hardball Matthews.

KillgoreTrout

Murph–I do like Perry. I read her columns on line, but don’t watch her show.

glenn

Murph – personally cn’t stomach Korny, but usually watch MHP. My man likes that show too.

sillylittleme

I dumped my cable a few years ago, and haven’t really regretted it.

KillgoreTrout

KT–yes, once in a while, O’Donnell does get in a good question.

glenn

the format of picking a topic and have 5 shows in a row on it is awful. sharpton really really sucked.

Harleigh

Ad–IMO, Martin Bashir should still have a show. HIs was a bullshit firing!

glenn

There just isn’t enough going on to justify 24/7 news programs. If you want to call them news.

KillgoreTrout

The movie “Network,” anybody?

KillgoreTrout

Lets face it,none of the networks can do much with the state of affairs in Washington,What a gong show

Beatlex

Bashir was first rate and driven out for a lack of good taste…imagine that. Does anyone know what he is doing now? I can find nothing.

MurphTheSurf3

i liked bashir

Harleigh

i liked Cenk Yugar, but he just wouldn’t tow the corporate line. That’s why I liked him

KillgoreTrout

Beatlex–well, it ought to get interesting with the “debates” coming up. Those republicans just crack me up; they’re so crazy!

glenn

Hey PPO

sillylittleme

Hey PPO, what’s new?

glenn

What’s funny about the FOX debates is that K-Sick is getting edged out, in his own state.

KillgoreTrout

I don’t even get Fox since I moved,not that I care,but I liked to laugh at Billo and some of the other clowns!

Beatlex

we need a Palin – Bachmann 2016 ticket… but it would now be to the left of the current klown crop. how is that even fuckin possible. honestly.

Harleigh

KT – And he still won’t but TYT still gets seen

sillylittleme

hey everybody. Shivering today.

pinkpantheroz

Beatlex–I don’t ever watch fox, but I always read about their antics on line.

glenn

The MSNBC weekend programming was the result of NBC wanting to do MS on the cheap…and it showed.

MurphTheSurf3

PPO – wanna trade? 90s and 90 humidity

sillylittleme

Oh, for sure Ad. Paddy Chaevsky was very prescient.

KillgoreTrout

Sure is.

KillgoreTrout

Ad – who is K-sick

sillylittleme

PPO–is it still snowing there?

glenn

I’ll trade the heat, but not the humidity, thanks,SLM!

pinkpantheroz

Forget it Ad

sillylittleme

Ad – ya I figured it out. Just a wee bit stoned

sillylittleme

slm, he’s another fanatical RW religious bug a boo.

KillgoreTrout

Yes glenn,, on the upper slopes of the mountains and in the Snow Country

pinkpantheroz

slm!!!!!!!!!

Harleigh

Ad–K-sick may be so. However, at least he implemented O’care in his state. You have to give him credit for that.

glenn

PPO – hope you don’t get the 100 feet of snow we got, obvious exaggeration but the piles made it seem that way

sillylittleme

Live chat on the circus. You bet.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad, can you remind us about Thurs? I’d love to be part of that

pinkpantheroz

Ad – sounds like fun, what time?

sillylittleme

K-Sick said he hasn’t read the Iran deal, then went on to tell everybody exactly what was wrong with it. You know, doom and gloom and nuclear proliferation, and all that. Oh Noooooes, mushroom clouds on the horizon.

KillgoreTrout

Ad–I’ll try to be there. What time do the debates start?

glenn

i think i told you all i’m becoming a multi millionaire next week with my popcorn futures right?? lol

Harleigh

slm, I think that boston still has more snow left than we have for our season so far!

pinkpantheroz

Hey PPO! Is Trump a real berk, or what?

KillgoreTrout

KT – but deal with climate change, me

sillylittleme

meh

sillylittleme

Harleigh–you and every other Dem who has bought into Orville!

glenn

Hey, KT! Yup, especially about the lactating lady he called ‘disgusting”

pinkpantheroz

Have you all heard that Fox intends to organize the stage such that the persons with the highest ratings will be in the center and then rank them from there to the edge on both sides. Result. Bush and Trump side by side.

MurphTheSurf3

mmmmm popcorn!

KillgoreTrout

got that one right glenn!

Harleigh

PPO – I think it was two weeks ago that they announced that the last snow field had melted, snow fields were where they trucked the city’s snow…

sillylittleme

Murph–that should be funny! Bush and Trump side by side.

glenn

Oh that was terrible. Apparently Trump never realized that’s where milk comes from.

KillgoreTrout

glenn,me too! There is always something stupid going on there

Beatlex

Murph – but who will have the better hair?

sillylittleme

Kt, all his wives gave plastic!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–LOL!

glenn

Mmmmm a silcone treat!

KillgoreTrout

I have read that Bush’s people are VERY unhappy with the arrangement as that means Bush will not be able to take the high ground and ignore Trump.

MurphTheSurf3

SLM–I want to hear Trump speak Spanish!

glenn

glenn, all he has to do is put the letter “O’ after everything! EVEYBODY knows that!

pinkpantheroz

Murph–I think Bush’s people are delusional. No one can ignore Trump; he won’t let you!

glenn

He does glenn. “Mexis make chicas do the dirty.”

KillgoreTrout

I have also read that one of the biggest concerns is how the moderators will be able to hold Trump to the rules. He makes his “nut” by flouting convention.

MurphTheSurf3

PPO–Oh–that’s right, I forgot my Spanish classes! LOL

glenn

KT–You are really bad!

glenn

Trump is really just a money machine for RNC. I don’t think he is really serious about being prez.

KillgoreTrout

Glenn – Si

sillylittleme

Murph–who are the moderators?

glenn

Murph, they need an isolation booth with a kill switch on the microphone!

pinkpantheroz

How about Huckabuck threatening to use federal troops to stop abortions? Jade Helm 16?

KillgoreTrout

kT – LOL

sillylittleme

KT,he is on the Bronc! and he is going to ride it to death

Beatlex

Yeah B, I’m sure he’s having the time of his life. He’s always been an attention whore. The male version of Sarah Palin.

KillgoreTrout

Well – it will be interesting to say the least.

sillylittleme

Ad–K-sick is insincere; I agree. But even if you do the right thing for the wrong reasons, you’re still doing the right thing. I would never, ever vote for him or any other republican, but I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

glenn

The 5 p.m. “kids table” debate for the “also there’s”, which will last an hour, will be moderated by Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum. The 9 p.m. debate will run about 90 minutes (two hours with commercial breaks and introductions), and be moderated by Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace. Read more:

MurphTheSurf3

The loser candidates debate themselves at 5p. EST I think. Real 1%ers. LOL

Harleigh

Naw, K-Sick is a snake. Don’t eat that apple.

KillgoreTrout

My post came out weird…..The 5 p.m. debate, which will last an hour, will be moderated by Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum. The 9 p.m. debate will run about 90 minutes (two hours with commercial breaks and introductions), and be moderated by Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace.

MurphTheSurf3

That’s better

MurphTheSurf3

I love that Christie can’t crack the top ten! Looks good on him

Beatlex

Murph – So who gets to eat at the adult table?

sillylittleme

Beatle, Christie is one Big Crack!

MurphTheSurf3

Megyn is beautiful…. but the crap she makes up sure gets her well paid at faux

Harleigh

Christie wants to destroy the pot movement. Down the drain you go fat ass.

KillgoreTrout

KT–I’m still trying to figure out if that is a parody–sending in troops to stop abortion. What are they going to do? Kill the mothers? BTW, have you read about that poor woman in AL who may have her fetus taken away by the state because she wants an abortion? I think she’s an inmate at one of the prisons.

glenn

KT – Hear, hear!!

sillylittleme

i guess he wants the troops to into abortion clinics with guns blazing. ?

KillgoreTrout

life IS sacred, don’t ya know!

KillgoreTrout

KT – they’re just pissed that god didn’t give them wombs…

sillylittleme

Ad…and the impotence of the RNC…..Priebus is pissing in his pity pants.

MurphTheSurf3

All the GOP candidates are trying to out-Trumpet Trump, and showing themselves for the fools they are.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–so Walker made the “cut”?

glenn

Ad, you know the Trump will engage in constant elbow jabs and digs in both directions.

MurphTheSurf3

Pussy envy?

KillgoreTrout

glenn, that a***hole should be GIVEN the Cut!

pinkpantheroz

I can’t decide who’s more dangerous–Walker or Trump.

glenn

Glenn not sure which pole they used for the rankings. They are all scum.

Harleigh

PPO–I agree, but I don’t run foxnews, which, lately, is running the republican party.

glenn

I guess, in a way, we should thank Trump. He’s got the rest of the GOPers toosing their dog whistles and showing their asses.

KillgoreTrout

adlib… adelson

Harleigh

And Fox is owned by Murdoch who belongs to Koch Klub

MurphTheSurf3

I think the debate title and promo is ‘Kochsuckers In Action’.

Harleigh

It has been revealed, through White House records that the real reason Stewart is leaving the Daily Show is because IN FACT, he’s a top CIA official and has a clandestine mission in Uzbeckibeckistan!

KillgoreTrout

KT or back to BENGHAZI!!!

Harleigh

Ad….that is not what has attracted his following….he would be smacked down as a sell out….if the media and his critics do not detest every minute of his time on stage, then he will lose steam….HE WILL GO FULL BORE!

MurphTheSurf3

I won’t take that bet, Ad! He’s canny and cunning enough

pinkpantheroz

Jon and Herman Cain! I Spy, 21st century version!

KillgoreTrout

Ad – since I think its all an art school project, it wouldn’t surprise me.

sillylittleme

Harleigh, is that like Back to Bataan?

KillgoreTrout

brb

pinkpantheroz

They couldn’t get Cosby, he’s preoccupied.

KillgoreTrout

brb 2

sillylittleme

I blew my prediction on tRump here a couple weeks ago. He DID report financials and stayed in the race. Says Palin will be in his cabinet. LOLOLOL

Harleigh

What’s the attraction with the RWers love of fat ass bullies and billionaires?

KillgoreTrout

Harleigh but his financials are way overblown so you were not totally wrong…..

MurphTheSurf3

A nearionaire Murph?

KillgoreTrout

Ad–trump has already said he’ll be polite.

glenn

If Warren audits his financials he would be royally fucked. I would pay to see any of the baggers talk econ with her.

Harleigh

They’re afraid of her Harleigh.

KillgoreTrout

Very interesting article reporting on a focus group: what attracts Trump backers.

MurphTheSurf3

If I were them I would be too KT. She’s AWESOME.

Harleigh

Thanks Murph, I’ll read it later. My guess is, they love billionaire bullies. Hey, if I works reeeeel hard, I can be one toooo.

KillgoreTrout

Yea, I voted for her in the midterms. I was registered in Mass.

KillgoreTrout

Trump has to attack…..he has to turn the”debate” into a “roast” or he will look uninformed and silly (which he is).

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–I read on other sites that the participants in that focus group were “guided” to those answers. They were told to say something positive about the candidates. One of them even said she supports Carson, not Trump. Shows the “focus” of that group!

glenn

Trump is the Tea Party Candidate, for sure, Ad.

MurphTheSurf3

how was this “focus,” taken? Land line to the elderly?

KillgoreTrout

KT – billionaires stroke their ahem egos with money

sillylittleme

Liz Warren rocks

sillylittleme

slm, they hate to lose, at anything.

KillgoreTrout

Trump picked ALL the dog whistes and has been blowin them hard…. so to speak.

Harleigh

Glenn….the company that put together the group is a respected one….so…..

MurphTheSurf3

Hmmm, Murph. respected by?

KillgoreTrout

KT – two cans and a string

sillylittleme

slm, LOL!

KillgoreTrout

Ad…maybe…..but I think he cannot help but come off as insulting….it is the principle fuel of his popularity engine.

MurphTheSurf3

That’s good Ad, she’s not quite ready yet. She needs some foreign policy experience.

KillgoreTrout

Daily Beast is saying Herself might run! Sarah is attention seeking again!

pinkpantheroz

Ad – I think if Bernie wins (and he will), she’ll run in 2020. I think he is paving the way for her. But first she has some work to do in the Senate.

sillylittleme

Ad–probably if Warren ran for prez, the rw would be more afraid of her than they are of Hillary. The shit-slinging would be worse, if that’s possible. But, I”m with you, I’d vote for her in a heartbeat!

glenn

PPO – Daily Breast is a rag

sillylittleme

That’s just what we need, a reality show queen as POTUS! That’ll scare the shyte out of the rest of the world….snicker snicker.

KillgoreTrout

PPO–Palin is probably running out of money, so needs another superPAC to raise more; just like she did the last time around.

glenn

Yeah glenn, those drunken brawls can get expensive!

KillgoreTrout

Glenn – well she is expecting another grandchild…

sillylittleme

trump palin!

Harleigh

KT–Actually, palin as president would scare the shit out of the rest of the world, as she does any sane person!

glenn

I know, guys! But it is fun to think of such a schemozzle of smoke and mirrors that might ensue!

pinkpantheroz

Ad…..the Tea Party could get the principal challenger but I don’t think the party will let Trump win….they will fix it if they must.

MurphTheSurf3

Good point glenn. It’s absolutely frightening to think that someone having a bad hair day also has the nuclear football! YIKES!

KillgoreTrout

KT, SLM–true, dat! You know, if the rubes keep sending her money, why shouldn’t she rake it in? After all, it’s the amurican way!

glenn

Ad – 74, but she is aging much better than Hill

sillylittleme

the grifter from Wasilla.

KillgoreTrout

Ad…they might but the damage done by Trump would be so great that a sacrificial McCain like candidate would be a better option.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad – and I want to add if Hill wins, then we should all bend over and kiss our asses goodbye.

sillylittleme

Ad–good deal. Lots of repubes need to stop showing up at the polls.

glenn

KT….Palin can’t even get a guest spot on Fox right now….desperate times…..

MurphTheSurf3

i don’t think so slm. She’s not crazy, like those on the GOP tickets. She is Reagan lite.

KillgoreTrout

Okay, folks, much as I love bashing trump and palin, it’s time to call it a night. I hope everyone has a good weekend. Take care, all.

glenn

g’night, glenn!

pinkpantheroz

nite glenn

Harleigh

Murph, Palin and Coulter are neck and neck in the race to the bottom.

KillgoreTrout

Have a great weekend glenn.

KillgoreTrout

KT – we have serious structural issues that if addressed in the manner that we have been accustomed to, nothing will get better and it will get a lot worse and fast.

sillylittleme

Nite – Glenn

sillylittleme

I don’t think so.

KillgoreTrout

KT – Coulter’s running?

sillylittleme

Ad, true, but those fools can still make a dent in the race unless Dems get together and GOTV big Time!

pinkpantheroz

No slm. Only in the book selling race.

KillgoreTrout

Ah, glenn, leaving us? Take good care.

MurphTheSurf3

i have never fathomed why anyone with a vagina would ever even consider voting for the proponents of their war on women.

Harleigh

KT…..Coulter….repugnant and loathsome….Palin….same thing.

MurphTheSurf3

Well Harleigh their bybull tells them to be submissive to their hubbies. Or is that tubbies?

KillgoreTrout

Harleigh – haven’t you noticed? they don’t want anyone to have freedom, just a select few

sillylittleme

KT – The irony of that is that it doesn’t say that at all.

sillylittleme

No doubt Murph. Coulter said, and defended saying that we should kill all theaders of Muslim countries and convert the people to Christianity. She stands by that. Fricken psycho skank.

KillgoreTrout

KT – that’s not a very xtian thing to do or say

sillylittleme

slm, it doesn’t? Are you sure? Which book, the Dad’s or the kid’s?

KillgoreTrout

But Ad….Trump is Number one with Latinos.

MurphTheSurf3

Kt, just as fundamentalist an idealogy as ISIS

pinkpantheroz

Not at all.

KillgoreTrout

I think we can all agree the Donald is a dirt bag,I do love seeing him screw over rhe R’s though!LOL

Beatlex

no doubt PPO.

KillgoreTrout

KT – I only read the Dad’s

sillylittleme

take over 3 billion muslims and convert them to buy-bull taliban. that has worked so well for murikkka the last 35 years.

Harleigh

Badges? We don’t need no stinkin badges!

KillgoreTrout

back soon.

pinkpantheroz

MurphTheSurf3

The dad had some anger issues, for sure. The kid was a bit more chill. Not by much though.

KillgoreTrout

LOL Adlib!

Beatlex

PPO – the problem is that we created ISIS, before that Al Queda, before that the Taliban, I probably skipped some in between. You get my point. The CIA trains militants. Arms them with money they’ve laundered through the drug trade. Then turns on them and starts a war. And the taxpayers get to pay for it. What fun.

sillylittleme

Ad – so that leaves him 20% of the pop?

sillylittleme

My name Jose Trumpmenez!

KillgoreTrout

LOL KT

Harleigh

KT – no people have anger issues. attributing atrocities to the flying spaghetti monster rather than themselves is the devious way man justifies cruelty.

sillylittleme

KT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

sillylittleme

RAMEN slm

Harleigh

KT….Jose Trumpmenez…hah

MurphTheSurf3

Over and over again slm. I’m pretty sure that scriptures have something to do with it. At least for the fundies.

KillgoreTrout

Kasich can be made to look like a moderate???

sillylittleme

KT – they ignore allegory and make it factual

sillylittleme

Ad….Bush has the best shot. Walker is number two. Walker, like Christie, is less and less popular in WI and for more and more reasons.

MurphTheSurf3

For sure. They have no understanding of metaphor or parable.

KillgoreTrout

true murph

Harleigh

Ad – so are you saying he won’t pick up any independents?

sillylittleme

I love that phot of the Huckster with Donalds hair! LOL

Beatlex

Yeah me too B. Kudos to Ad.

KillgoreTrout

Yes excellent photoshop job

sillylittleme

Huckabee has turned into a horrid little toad….from the rather balanced governor of Arkansas who worked well with both sides of the aisle.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad – I agree I don’t think this is the time for another Bush. And I think a lot of R voters know it.

sillylittleme

Huck is off the rails with hate… he won’t be back. it was stupid for him to run.

Harleigh

One thing that Jeb and Hillary have in common: neither feels particularly sincere (real) to me….everything about them has the feeling of being a front.

MurphTheSurf3

Neil DG Tyson made an excellent observation a while back. A man of color would win the White House before a woman could. you think the GOPers don’t like black people, they absolutely do not want a female president. In their tiny minds, that’s more of an abomination than a man…of any color.

KillgoreTrout

Murph – I think he’s not getting the money love that others are getting and he’s trying to court someone for more money. Which of the billionaires would that have appealed to.

sillylittleme

What’s the title of Huck’s new book? God, Guns and Grits? I’m serious.

KillgoreTrout

Ad – not true in all states, and you never know who may change their registration to vote in the primary

sillylittleme

SLM…who are you speaking of?

MurphTheSurf3

KT….that’s the book…

MurphTheSurf3

Talk about advertising one’s hickishness! I guess that was the idea though.

KillgoreTrout

Murph – Huckafuck

sillylittleme

huck will get a big bene out of this…. he goes back on faux asa former gubner and presidential candidate. lol

Harleigh

slm, I like to call him the Huckster. It’s so fitting.

KillgoreTrout

SLM…I can’t imagine that Huck will attract any of the billionaire class.

MurphTheSurf3

KT – yes it is

sillylittleme

2buck huck

Harleigh

Murph – that is why he made the outrageous statement that he made. he was putting out feelers…

sillylittleme

Harleigh – It’s 3 buck chuck, I prefer Black Box

sillylittleme

I like that one Harleigh!

KillgoreTrout

Ad- ever since Huckabee left the governorship, 10 rather strong years, in Arkansas he has been drifting further and further right. As governor he made it clear that separation of church and state as essential was illustration by his own time in the executive office.

MurphTheSurf3

SLM….I just don’t think he has a natural constituency any longer and thus sponsorship is unlikely.

MurphTheSurf3

true dat murph

Harleigh

Teachers are great, preacher, not so much.

KillgoreTrout

Murph – well it was worth a try, he certainly got some votes out of it

sillylittleme

Ad – she’s not a fan of Hill?

sillylittleme

I am already missing Obama…..even when he is being phony (which every pol has to be at times) he still feels real.

MurphTheSurf3

The huchster loves to try to covince people there is no separation of church and state, and that “murika is a Christian nation. Never mind what the founders actually said about it.

KillgoreTrout

Murph – what do you mean?

sillylittleme

What if the R’s were actually a viable party? We would have to work hard to beat them.No worries though,they can’t help themselves!

Beatlex

Hey funk man! How goes it?

KillgoreTrout

Howdy KT!

funksands

B – who knows what will happen, I kinda feel bad for the R voters

sillylittleme

SLM….that was in reference to the phoniness that I feel when watching either Jeb or Hillary.

MurphTheSurf3

Okee doke

funksands

Hey Funk

sillylittleme

How are things going in “the bunker?”

KillgoreTrout

quiet….

funksands

….too quiet

funksands

Hi Ad, Murph, SLM

funksands

Ad….people who knew him in Arkansas say that his move to Florida and his embracing of the high life has lead him to sell his faith to the highest bidder.

MurphTheSurf3

hey funk

Harleigh

So I still don’t get the Jade Helm thing. Someone ‘splain

sillylittleme

Hi Harleigh, did you moving to Florida cause you to sell your faith to the highest bidder?

funksands

Nice 🙂

funksands

LOL it was already long gone by choice!

Harleigh

Hi there Funk!

MurphTheSurf3

KillgoreTrout

There were 195 Bernie organizing events last night within 10 miles of my house. Unreal

funksands

KT, that particular clip is the video that keeps on giving.

funksands

SLM….Jade Helm.

MurphTheSurf3

Hey funk! I saw on Al Jazeera English that Bernie had a great ‘rally’ online. the future of electioneering, maybe?

pinkpantheroz

LOL! Pure genius!

KillgoreTrout

Thanks for the laughs KT and Murph

sillylittleme

Pink, it’s an interesting approach for sure. Talk about using minimal resources for maximum gain.

funksands

My pleasure!

KillgoreTrout

It’s exciting. Hillary will become a much better candidate with him in the race if she handles it right. So far she has

funksands

good point, funk.

pinkpantheroz

So no one took the time to attend a meetup to hear why people are supporting Bernie? We had one woman who hadn’t made up her mind.

sillylittleme

All the poor old baggers with no short term memories forget how often they get trolled by faux! Remember last November just before the election how you simpleton baggers believed that highly contagious Ebola was coming across the Mexican border with infected illegal immigrant children drug mules sponsored by ISIS from their compound just outside of Waco and 95% of texass was going to die unless they stocked up on food and ammo and wrapped their trailers in plastic!!?? BWAHAHAHA And then ISIS was attacking from their secret texass compound and all because of Obama who was sending the US military to invade texass, take everybody’s guns and send all 20 some million baggers to FEMA camps!! LOLOLOL Jebus crisco you baggers are sssoooo stupid. Now I bet you want blue state money for your floods that were caused by the gays and indian rain dancers!!! LMAO

Harleigh

SLM, unfortunately, I had other issues last night. I would have loved to attend. I’ve already offered labor and sent a little money.

funksands

SLM….I was at a Organize for Bernie House Party last week when Sanders did a podcast to his followers. It felt Obama 08 Like

MurphTheSurf3

Harleigh, you make it sound like they’re unbalanced…

funksands

Funk – even if you’re voting for Hill in the primary, it’s really quite amazing how many different issues and combination of issues are attracting people.

sillylittleme

Harleigh the thing is that as crazy as you narrative sounds I have acquaintances here who would “make sense”of it readily.

MurphTheSurf3

Top comments I hear from undecideds or Hillary supporters? 1. “Oh free stuff for everyone? How you going to pay for it?” 2. Bernie bad on immigration

funksands

Harleigh – you so funny

sillylittleme

Ad, no way. Neither one of them gains a damn thing by attacking one another. Especially this early

funksands

Beatlex

murph their fuckin gunernator was in on some ofth ese1! WTF??? LOL i’d like to sat I made it all up but it’s realityba sed.

Harleigh

SLM, no doubt. For the first time in a long time it really feels like an actual in-depth discussion around issues is happening. Really fun

funksands

Funk – that’s why they should at least allow themselves to hear their fellow progressives.

sillylittleme

ou just can’t out absurd the republicans. It’s not possible. Very good try though, Hareigh.

KillgoreTrout

on another topic, does anyone think that Palmer should be extradited to Zimbabwe for killing Cecil?

pinkpantheroz

PPO – yes a million times

sillylittleme

Pink, I think that would be just desserts. I don’t feel that we need to hound this guy to the ends of earth, ruin his life or cost him his career, buy a few months in a Zimbabwe pokey might give him some perspective.

funksands

Ad – you’d be surprised how many are changing affiliation to vote for Bernie. hearing a couple of people on Wed, it gave me goosepimples. The good kind.

sillylittleme

HUck has Obama leading jews to the oven door, the tag on the door said ‘GE self cleaning’.

Harleigh

Ad, this is from Hillary supporters, not conservatives. I don’t really listen to most conservatives and their opinion anyway

funksands

Harleigh, one NC Congressman said the Iranian deal makes Hitler look like a small-timer

funksands

I agree, funk. Anyone who hunts the right way would never leave an animal to suffer for 40 hours before killing it. I hate hunting, btw.

pinkpantheroz

I don’t think there are many conservatives left in this country any longer. They are fricke RW fanatics and religious delusionaries. Is delusionairies a real word?

KillgoreTrout

Ad – well that is the plan

sillylittleme

KT, works for me!

pinkpantheroz

brb

pinkpantheroz

i vote a straight dem ticket and look up the party affiliation for judges and positions you don’t have to declare on theb allot.

Harleigh

I’m assuming that everyone here is comfortable voting for Hillary if she gets the nomination?

funksands

PPO, think he should be dropped by helicopter (not at a too high altitude) into the lion exhibit at the San Diego zoo.

KillgoreTrout

Well folks off to Patriot Place in the am with the man and his two 20ish cousins. Should be fun. Have a good night.

sillylittleme

Night SLM

funksands

later slm

Harleigh

Have fun slm!

KillgoreTrout

SLM….Patriot’s Place?

MurphTheSurf3

Sounds like a pub, Murph!

KillgoreTrout

Well, good peeps, I too must bid you adieu! See yas later.

KillgoreTrout

THE LION HUNTER….I have such conflicted feelings about the whole thing. I hate the idea of the hunt and it does seem as if there was skullduggery at work. I also hate the idea of virtual lynch mobs on line.

MurphTheSurf3

I’m comfortable voting for her in the general against any Republican. I

funksands

Night KT! Take er easy

funksands

Murph, I think you and I are on the same page.

funksands

i have issues with our dem candidates but not voting for any repube puke. they are truly murikkkas worst enemy.

Harleigh

Murph, I thought you were pretty much in the Hillary camp a few weeks ago.

funksands

Nite…KT….

MurphTheSurf3

nite KT

Harleigh

Well murph, lynch mobs react without all the info. This lion killing turd admitted what he did. That lion was far better than the shitheel that murdered him. Just my thoughts.

KillgoreTrout

Ad, I think you are on to something. Let’s collar him and have him roam the Serengeti for a few months.

funksands

Funk and Ad….I will vote for whoever the Dems have as their nominee….and frankly everyone running for that honor right now, and I do mean everyone, is a better option than anyone running for the GOP.

MurphTheSurf3

G’Nite SLM!

Beatlex

X are you guys going to get rid of Harper soon?

funksands

Ad, how would she be different than Obama? On the issues?

funksands

Ad….I would accept extradition IF he a case can be made by the government in Africa that would justify it. The man is going to suffer in any case.

MurphTheSurf3

Sorry, folks, gotta go. Sorry I couldn’t contribute as much as I’d have liked. see you all next week.

pinkpantheroz

35 years in a african prison is not enough.

Harleigh

well i gotta go. see y’all next week, same bat time….

Harleigh

Ad, her foreign policy stances are far more interesting to me than her domestic policies. Because that’s where she has actual power. I don’t see her diverging from the standard schtick much domestically

funksands

Night Haleigh!

funksands

I am going to toddle off to bed….see you all on Thursday for the masterdebaters fest….sidenote….I agree with your take on the hunter.

MurphTheSurf3

Night Murph!

funksands

Dropping like flies….

funksands

I am more a hummingbird!

MurphTheSurf3

I think she may just be trying to have it both ways. Not uncommon when it comes to politicians.

funksands

Oh, any of them! My first question would be: “Do you support regime change as an official tool of your administration”? What will she do re: Syria? Will she continue the never-ending drone war? Will she toe the line on the Iran deal? etc etc

funksands

They don’t call it the silly season for nothing my American friends.They just keep going into sillier places

Beatlex

Because she isn’t just trying to appeal to progressives?

funksands

Keystone is almost 100% dead anyway. Alberta’s premier is adamantly opposed to it, which is a kiss of death.

funksands

Ad, you are likely correct, but the Democratic party is made of up of a lot of different voters. Progressives simply make up a portion of it. Obama voters that are self-described moderates (by some counts) may actually outnumber those that self-identify as liberals or progressives.

funksands

Ad, your last sentence is the most important one I think. Every time she tries to have it both ways I think it adds to the “rep” that the Clintons have.

funksands

And a lot of them support Keystone too. I think its just an example of Hillary trying to have it both ways without having to commit on an issue. This early in the campaign it doesn’t surprise me. Her challenge will be that her opponent is the antithesis of that. She’ll either need to step it up or she’ll look poorly in comparison

funksands

I agree

funksands

Her path to the nomination is pretty simple IMO. Co-op as much of Bernie’s message that she’s comfortable with, don’t do anything stupid and she’ll probably win.

funksands

Mind you I am talking about a campaign strategy rather than actual policy or governing.

funksands

Ad, I hope you are right. I’m pretty cynical about the electorate.

funksands

I am almost looking forward to the process

funksands

Maybe. This early in the process I don’t believe much of anything. I’m encouraged though.

funksands

I have the advantage I guess of listening to him take questions on almost any topic for an hour a week for the last 5 years. I feel like I know where he stands. That’s a comfort that I don’t feel about almost any other politician.

funksands

Good point.

funksands

Well I have got to go. I’m really looking forward to the Opium Feces Circus of Death coming up on Fox next week.

funksands

Are you running a live chat?

funksands

Ad, I get it. 15 months out, all we really have right now is impression and observations.

funksands

X, take care of yourself!

funksands

Night Ad, thanks for manning the controls tonight.

funksands

Thx Funk! goonight folks
