Vox Populi – 6-17-2016

hey!

Harleigh

wow what a week huh?

Harleigh

that’s a good thing although millions will stay with him on the bottom

Harleigh

Orlando got it bad!

Harleigh

nope. more should join the Bundy’s in their new digs! lol

Harleigh

sure moved Gowdy and his email witch hunt off most of the rwnj sites too!

Harleigh

the original was for fucking muskets and muzzle load pistols.

Harleigh

trailer park regulations don’t count.

Harleigh

yep, to keep any enemies of those days at bay…. morons.

Harleigh

i know

Harleigh

today that would mean the Guard.

Harleigh

but that genie escaped long ago…

Harleigh

HEY! Trump is making this easy! what a boob

Beatlex

He’s no brighter than the 18 other chumps he out whackdoodled

Harleigh

hey glenn, beatlex

Harleigh

AD! I LOVE IT!! -Hey Harl!

Beatlex

OZZZ!

Beatlex

Hi to everybody!

pinkpantheroz

I wonder what drump really thinks when a follower tells him about jebus and his dinosaur?

Harleigh

Good evening, Ad, Harleigh, Beatlex. Trump on the bottom and digging deeper!

glenn

Do you people think anything will happen on the vote on guns?

Beatlex

Hi PPO!

glenn

nothing will happen with guns

Harleigh

Beatlex–I hate to be cynical; but I think the repubs will kill the bill somehow. Pardon the pun.

glenn

beat, the trouble is that another idiot will do something outrageous and the media will premptly drop gun control because the NRA will want them to change the subject. and yes, they have that power.

pinkpantheroz

I’m fed up that the NRA are the reaql government and the Congress is a load of puppets.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I remember last week when you said that Dems should tie trump to every republican running for office or in office. Apparently, that is happening, and what a good thing that is. Watching the pubbies struggle to answer questions, or to not even answer questions is pure delight!

glenn

Ad.I think there is hope for at least something,the R’s can read polls

Beatlex

glenn,it is fun to watch them squirm!

Beatlex

That’ll never happen, Ad. Sorry, but the NRA run the country.

pinkpantheroz

Beatlex–the repubs can read polls, but the polls have been saying for years that Americans want more gun control; but the NRA’s money outweighs polls every time.

glenn

beat, glenn. Yes, its great to see them pretzelizing themselves

pinkpantheroz

I hate to run but I gots to work tomorrow. later folks.

Harleigh

I think they will get something Oz.It will probably be something to do with the watch list

Beatlex

glenn, the NRA’s corruption outweighs all.

pinkpantheroz

Harleigh–good night. Sorry our time was so short.

glenn

What’s up Planet folk?

KillgoreTrout

BYe Harl

Beatlex

KT!

Beatlex

Hey, KT!

pinkpantheroz

Hey KT–how are you?

glenn

Hey Ad, B and P!

KillgoreTrout

Hey glenn! doing great, and you?

KillgoreTrout

KT–doing well.

glenn

I am listening to Paul Simon’s new one,it was well reviewed.And sounds good so far

Beatlex

Glad to hear it glenn.

KillgoreTrout

cool, beat. look forward to listening

pinkpantheroz

Rhymin Simon’s got a new one out? What’s the title?

KillgoreTrout

Great question Ad. I know they probably want to.

KillgoreTrout

Stranger to Stranger KT

Beatlex

Thanks B. I’ll look for it.

KillgoreTrout

ad, yes. they’ll have to to survive. Maybe Li’l Marco?

pinkpantheroz

Ad–it is looking that way, isn’t it? However, if they do, it’s going to be mass chaos. Trump’s supporters will lose what’s left of their minds!

glenn

I know I’m not going anywhere near the GOP convention. Too many gun nuts.

KillgoreTrout

ad, …. and a walk to the white house for HRH!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–that’s why I think they’ll talk about it, but never do it! Typical repub behavior!

glenn

Oh, I don’t think they can, but I bet they would like to. They’re screwed.

KillgoreTrout

Simon&Garunkel’s “Sounds of Silence” is brilliant.One of my faves of all time

Beatlex

That really is a great song B.

KillgoreTrout

PPO–Not so sure it’s a walk to the WH for HRC. For one thing, many people still think she’s corrupted. The most important thing, though, is Dems have to get out and VOTE!

glenn

For sure glenn. GOTV will be the biggest thing the Dems need to emphasize

pinkpantheroz

Ad–Yup–either way the repubs are screwed. Ain’t that a shame?

glenn

I don’t want voters to think Hillary is a shoo in. I want us to win by a landslide.

KillgoreTrout

Beatlex

Ad–Hillary already has the nom; it’s the presidency she needs to obtain.

glenn

KT, for sure, but the next hurdle will be to maximize the cleanout of the Senate and maybe the House.

pinkpantheroz

oops

Beatlex

Absolutely P. The prez is not all powerful and the house and senate are just as important, if not more important in many ways.

KillgoreTrout

What do you all think about Bernie’s speech, or more specifically, his lack of endorsement for HRC? What do you think his supporters will do?

glenn

I think Bernie is going to support Hillary, openly, after the convention. That’s probably what they talked about in their meeting.

KillgoreTrout

Oh, please let it be so, Ad! KT, I agree that they’re allowing Bernie to concede gradually with honor.

pinkpantheroz

BRB

Beatlex

I don’t think Sanders would ever work to allow Trump a win. He does care about this country and progressive values and achievments.

KillgoreTrout

Ad–so you’re thinking repubs will stay home and not vote for Senate and House races? I would love to see that happen; as KT says, would love to see HRC win in a landslide!

glenn

We definitely want the largest voter turnout possible. At least on the dem side.

KillgoreTrout

Ad–okay, we’ll see. I do hope that no matter what he does; Bernie keeps pushing Hillary and the Dem “establishment” more to the left.

glenn

glenn, all the more urgent that the Demsh pus the GOTV.

pinkpantheroz

I think Bernie will glenn and Elizabeth Warren.

KillgoreTrout

….oops, haven’t even had a coffee yet!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–well get that cafe pronto!

glenn

BRB

pinkpantheroz

i’m having a cup right now, and it’s delicious!

KillgoreTrout

KT–do you think EW will be the VP nom?

glenn

Kes–long time, no hear! How are you?

glenn

I think Warren will help keep Hillary more to the left on economic issues. EW is a very smart gal.

KillgoreTrout

Ad–glad to hear that Dems are “fired up and ready to go.”

glenn

Senator Murphy from Connecticut looks good. The man has some political and moral courage.

KillgoreTrout

We need EW right where she is.

KillgoreTrout

It doesn’t matter much to me who the VP will be. Well, to a great extent anyhow.

KillgoreTrout

I saw today that Warren met with the Clinton camp, and told them, “Don’t blow this.” IMO, overconfidence is one way to blow it big time. That’s part of what’s doing trump in!

glenn

Yeah, she would, Ad.

KillgoreTrout

I can’t begin to describe how happy I am to see the GOP hosing it’s self.

KillgoreTrout

Ad–it’s about damn time repubs realize they made some piss-poor choices. Not that they would ever admit it, but one can read between the lines, so to speak.

glenn

KT–I’m with you–love to see the repubs tearing themselves apart.

glenn

I hope no one gets shot. As much as I detest those creeps, I don’t want to see any of them killed.

KillgoreTrout

Ad–as long as you’re just watching the repub convention from the safety of your living room.

glenn

Exactly glenn.

KillgoreTrout

KT–but the sanctimonious gun-loving repubs have banned guns from their convention. However, I agree. We have had enough senseless violence in this country, and because you disagree with someone is not reason enough to shoot them.

glenn

It will still be legal to carry, outside the convention center. No guns inside, but there will be outside.

KillgoreTrout

It could end up much worse than the dem convention in Chicago of 68. I hope not.

KillgoreTrout

Ad–it’s like the Titanic going down and the band still playing, right?

glenn

I’ve put this in elsewhere in POV, but am repeating it here – “When you encourage rage you cannot then feign surprise when people become enraged. You cannot turn around and say, ‘Mate, you weren’t supposed to take it so seriously. It’s just a game, just a ploy, a strategy for winning votes.’” While this was said by a correspondent in ‘The Spectator’ about the assassination of MP Jo Cox in England, doesn’t it ring true for the US as well?

pinkpantheroz

glenn, where do you want me to stack the deckchairs/

pinkpantheroz

Absolutely P.

KillgoreTrout

PPO–absofuckinglutely! And is has been ringing true for the US for way too damn long! You can’t keep denigrating blacks, LGBT’s etc. and act surprised when some idiot with a gun acts out that rage you’ve been stoking!

glenn

Toss in some some good ole Kentucky whiskey and BOOM!

KillgoreTrout

Trump is incapable of taking advice.He truly believes he knows all the answers,and thinks by force of will he will win.He is in his own bubble,and it will lead to him getting crushed in the general.IMO

Beatlex

sadly true, Ad.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–apparently not, since they’re still stoking the hate against LGBT’s.

glenn

Beatlex–trump has lived in a bubble all his life and reality is smacking him in his orange face! He can’t handle it!

glenn

The outpouring of love for Orlando and the victims is an incredible statement. It shouts, “We will not be intimidated.”

KillgoreTrout

Orlando Strong, KT for sure.

pinkpantheroz

Ad,he is not that smart or self aware.Truly a strange man

Beatlex

Trump is a con man. He’s good at it, but not good enough to con his way into the white house.

KillgoreTrout

Ad, there is no rock bottom for Trumps excavator!

pinkpantheroz

I think it will Ad. People are finally getting tired of this shit.

KillgoreTrout

KT, yup, Don the Con has been exposed for the flimflam merchant he is.

pinkpantheroz

John McCain blaming the President for this.Unreal,going into Iraq was the original sin,and it was Bush who negotiated the agreement to leave.The did’nt want America there anymore !

Beatlex

The Orando shooting

Beatlex

McCain has gone completely senile. His seat is in danger I think, and he’s really getting desperate. I don’t know why, the old fucker needs to “Spend more time with family.”

KillgoreTrout

he should quit KT,he is in tough this time

Beatlex

McCain’s Use-By date was last century! please GO AWAY!

pinkpantheroz

LOL!

KillgoreTrout

The first plane he flew had an upper and a lower wing.

KillgoreTrout

KT, and he crashed that one as well.

pinkpantheroz

HAHAHA! yep, Crash McCain they used to call him.

KillgoreTrout

One of my nephews was almost in Pulse that night. Fortunately for him, he was low on funds and didn’t want to spend the money to go. He lives about three hours from Orlando.

glenn

sometimes being poor is a blessing in disguise.

KillgoreTrout

spooky, glenn, Thank goodness he didn’t go.

pinkpantheroz

LOL!

KillgoreTrout

KT–being poor does have its’ advantages, sometimes.

glenn

Ad, so THAT’s where he got his licence!

pinkpantheroz

PPO and Ad–yeah, he was pretty broken up about it.

glenn

OK, OK, enough already!

pinkpantheroz

McCain’s “fly-by” date expired the day he chose the quitter for VP! It’s just been downhill from there, and on the fast slope!

glenn

Me too. The world has passed him by. He needs to go to pasture.

KillgoreTrout

Great point glenn.

KillgoreTrout

I hope he loses, Ad. And don’t forget, don the Con has no time for him, he’s a loser who got caught. Well, Don, You’re now caught yourself.

pinkpantheroz

Ad, Item 3. I’m one of the 1% and don’t give a flying fuck.

pinkpantheroz

Item 3–choosing batshit crazy candidates–all 16 or 17 of them–does not bode well for winning general elections.

glenn

True, glenn.

pinkpantheroz

It really is telling, to look at all those who ran. What a ship of fools. That’s really the best the GOP had to offer. Sad indeed.

KillgoreTrout

PPO–Can’t decide which of our items should be 3 and which should be 4. Think yours’ should be 3, though.

glenn

Ad–couldn’t happen to a “nicer” guy!

glenn

Evern more sad that Dubya has been induced to come out from under his rock to try and help candidtes!

pinkpantheroz

Trump would commit suicide if went broke.

KillgoreTrout

Ad, but he’ss make that Channel Huuuuuge.

pinkpantheroz

PPO–maybe; maybe not. I think now that Dubya is in the public spotlight again, someone should ask him about McCain’s comments about who/what is “responsible” for the Orlando shooting. That ought to be an interesting tap dance!

glenn

KT–promise?

glenn

LOL!

KillgoreTrout

Ad–Lyin Ryan?

glenn

Ad–great minds think alike! LOL!

glenn

Ad, when you think about it, the quality of the GOP candidates was so poor that a outsider Conman was able to bamboozle them out of the race. Says a lot for the quality of politicians these days.

pinkpantheroz

Well folks, I must bid you adieu! Take care all.

KillgoreTrout

Ad– he won’t be arrested in the US. And, he certainly isn’t going to travel overseas, where he will certainly be arrested.

glenn

Goo night, KT. Sleep the sleep of the righteous!

pinkpantheroz

G’night KT. Have a great weekend.

glenn

glenn, is he allowed outside texas????

pinkpantheroz

PPO–I think so; I don’t think Texas has seceded yet, plus the US hasn’t had time to build a wall around Texas to keep Texans in Texas.

glenn

Aww, dammit1

pinkpantheroz

Ad, what color would he paint himself in that bathtub?

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I know. Poor Dubya! I feel so terrible for him!

glenn

Ad,

pinkpantheroz

Sorry, folk, gotta go now. Take care all and see you next week.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I was going to say color him stupid, which is the same thing.

glenn

Ad, do those numbers show through when you’ve finished?

pinkpantheroz

G’night PPO. Take care.

glenn

cheers glenn

pinkpantheroz

Ad–just a different hue!

glenn

Time for me to take off, too. Have a great weekend, Ad…and Beatlex, too, if you’re still here. See ya’ll next week.

glenn

Ad–that’s a rhetorical question, right?

glenn

Yup! Okay, g’night now!

glenn

Hey Ad,one more question,what affect will Bernie Sanders have in the near future in you opinion?

Beatlex
