Don’t forget to say, “Hi!” or “Peace!” when you arrive!

Hey glenn!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Doing well, and you? Soccer game this weekend?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Got it!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Wow! Congrats, how cool!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Hey Harleigh!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Life is so nice with new appliances!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Poof! You’re still here!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Did you see the video of the Charlotte shooting?

AdLib 2 hours ago

I had to repair my dishwasher’s upper tray, now it’s running so well! But a new one would be cooler!

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – I think one possibility is that one cop overreacted and freaked out and yelled about him having a gun and the others just trusted that he saw it and yelled too. It is a possibility that there was a gun but that needs to be proven, NC is a crooked state.

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh – So do you breakdown sometimes?

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – We do the same, maybe once a week or so, once it’s full. Saves energy, water and money…and in LA, we really have to save water…come to think of it, energy and money too!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh – Hope you don’t have to go into the shop for too long!

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – I can’t figure that out. Supposedly, his wife said she said that to mean don’t get out of the car but not sure if that’s true because she kept telling him to get out of the car.

AdLib 2 hours ago

Bottom line, McCrory and the corrupt NC Legislature have the policy and that new law to prevent the public from viewing police video. How messed up is that? Any question why there were no riots in Tulsa where they quickly showed the video but rioting in NC where they refuse to?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh – Be careful, she may trade you in for a newer model!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh – Hey, how did you get left home while she went on a cruise?

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – It was a stressful situation but the cops created it! How many times have we seen white men with guns holding up in their house or car and decently trained cops negotiate with them, diffusing the situation. These cops are assholes, they should have backed off since there was no threat and let the wife talk her husband out of the car.

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh – The way Tulsa has handled it seems more effective than any incident like this I can think of. They were quick to release the video and quick to charge that crazy woman cop who shot him. She had a drug history, did you see?

AdLib 2 hours ago

And multiple complaints against her!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh – Oh! I know you’re working hard. Well, it’s a staycation for you!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Hey KT!

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – Talk about lowering standards! A cop who had a drug problem? That’s not a dangerous cocktail, is it?!

AdLib 2 hours ago

BTW, I hope you can all make it on Monday for the live chat here during the Hillary-Trump debate?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Cruz is such a weasel, he even betrays himself!

AdLib 2 hours ago

What gets me is how the MSM says it’s “a big story” that Cruz has endorsed Trump. Really? You can count on one finger how many voters that adds for Trump. Who cares? Who says, “Oh, if Ted is supporting Trump, now I will and forget that I don’t want to support him!”

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – I should be able to have a live stream here if you do want to watch it.

AdLib 2 hours ago

Yep, just checked, will be live streaming the debate here during our chat. Just open an extra window and you can watch while you chat!

AdLib 2 hours ago

KT – Right but any voter who supported Cruz was already voting for Trump. The few who aren’t won’t suddenly chanage their minds because Cruz did. And this is so transparently a game to protect his ability to run again, we all know he still despises Trump and wants him to lose. The MSM sucks, they refuse to call out BS when it’s obviously marched out.

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh – Yes, 6:00pm PDT, 9:00pm EDT! We’ll start our chat at 5:30pm PDT/8:30pm EDT

AdLib 2 hours ago

And we will have some old friends joining us!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh – All living Presidents, all living CIA chiefs, all generals who haven’t disgraced themselves, many Republican Senatoors and Reps…and just the reverse for Trump, all these experienced people are declaring Trump unfit to be Pres!

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – That’s what KT was saying, a Cruz endorsement could actually turn off more voters from supporting Trump than attract!

AdLib 2 hours ago

KT – You saw how Cruz’s college roommate has nothing but terrible things to say about him, probably just luck he didn’t smother Cruz with a pillow while he slept.

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – Yes, saw Glenn Beck furious. So funny!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Harleigh, if you ran against Trump, you’d win!

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – Wasn’t that scarier than smart, Omarosa (sp?) claiming all Trump’s opposition will bow down to him? Like he’s Zod from Superman II?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Trump’s victory speech:

AdLib 2 hours ago

Hey Funk!

AdLib 2 hours ago

An ex-Obama campaign person said this and I pretty much agree, that even with Obama’s poor debate performance in the first debate against Romney, the MSM may have gone crazy but the underlying support for Obama didn’t really change. I don’t know that whatever happens, the needle will move much after Monday’s debate. Hillary will likely acquit herself fine and even if she has a gaffe, Trump will have more than she will. What do you think? Can either really shift the polls substantially by winning the debate or are people already pretty much cemented in on who they’ll vote for?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Funk…new shoes?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Lester doesn’t seem like an aggressive type, he might surprise but I think he’ll have a hard time really moderating the debate.

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – I think one of the only limitations is that you can’t put slot machines in the Oval Office.

AdLib an hour ago

BTW, absentee and early voting has already started in about 9 states! Can’t change those votes with a debate!

AdLib an hour ago

Funk – I’ve heard that most voters are pretty solid on who they’ll vote for. Just on the face of it, doesn’t really seem like many could be undecided between the two.

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – No doubt, Trump would declare victory if the debate ended and he was flopping on the ground like a goldfish whose bowl broke. But the aftermath, if he and his supporters savage Hillary in a misogynist way, will hurt Trump worse.

AdLib an hour ago

Harleigh – Actually, Johnson has been losing support and Stein is around 1% in some polls. That’s all good for Hillary, it’s mostly indies who would never vote Trump but don’t like Hillary who support them. They are “never Trump” and polls show they’re more Dem type voters than Repubs. SO watch her lead grow as Johnson and Stein crash and burn.

AdLib an hour ago

Hey PPO!!!

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – Fantastic to hear! So glad Fergie’s doing better and better!

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – I think that most uncommitted voters find Trump repulsive and don’t really like Hillary…but will hold their nose and vote for her when it comes down to it. I think she’ll outperform on election day because of that factor.

AdLib an hour ago

The election process virtually never ends in the US which is why things are so polarized and so little gets done. Shrink election periods to 6 months and public finance…all of a sudden things could get done and pols could spend most oof their time on doing their job and not fundraising.

AdLib an hour ago

PPO and Funk: 538.com just came out with their predictions on The Senate today and they have the Dems favored to take over.

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – Yes, Nate Silver.

AdLib an hour ago

\Funk – Yes, Silver has Hillary at 61.9% probable victory and Dems with 58.7% of taking back The Senate.

AdLib an hour ago

Harleigh – Don’t get angry now!

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – I would also propose that the reverse is intuitive too. Any racists, misogynists, anti-semites, xenophobes, etc. are already supporting Trump. His numbers seem to have a hard ceiling around high 30’s to low 40’s. He never gains on Hillary, she just sheds support at times but those voters come back to her, they don’t defect…to the guy with the mental defect in the GOP.

AdLib an hour ago

Very funny stuff!

AdLib an hour ago

What question do you want to see Holt ask Trump?

AdLib an hour ago

Funk – Hard to imagine we’ll see another Pres. like Obama in our lifetime.

AdLib an hour ago

And hard to imagine we’ll see a more insane candidate for President than Trump.

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – How about painting him into an even tighter corner? “Mr. Trump, would you be willing to prove through documentation that you don’t have any financial or business ties to Russia?” Holt would never go there but Hillary should ask him that!

AdLib an hour ago

Harleigh – “I could shoot a nuclear missile at someone on 5th Avenie and I wouldn’t lose a voter…except the millions that are vaporized but, believe me, they’re ghosts will still support me!”

AdLib an hour ago

their

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – The debate is chopped into 3 vague segments, each with two parts. One is about American security. And Trump should be nuked on the issue of nukes then!

AdLib an hour ago

Funk – Good one! We know though that he’s promised to get rid of all kinds of “regulations” including on Wall Street. He’d say yes but like everything he says, it would just be a lie.

AdLib an hour ago

How about, “If you don’t build a wall and it’s because Mexico didn’t pay for it, would you agree to resign the Presidency since your platform is based on that?”

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – Actually, by Tuesday, Americans may affirm that only a minority of us are loons. Poor UK, Brexit won and they don’t get to say that.

AdLib an hour ago

Funk – That’s horrible! Where is it happening?

AdLib an hour ago

Harleigh – I was around some older white guys who are kind of rural this week, when one brought up Hillary, they all went mental, one said, “I would shoot her in the head if I could get away with it!” There is something pathological about many Trump supporters.

AdLib an hour ago

Saw a reporter chasing after Trump this week asking, “When did you change your mind about Obama being an American citizen?” That’s a good one (he ignored the reporter and ran off).

AdLib an hour ago

Funk – The shooting was at a mall. Hate to say but that has already been a target of lone wolf types.

AdLib an hour ago

How about, “Mr. Trump, you claim incorrectly that Hillary Clinton wants to end the 2nd Amendment and take away everyone’s guns yet you have stated you would institute “Stop and Frisk” to take guns away from people in Chicago which would not only violate the 4th Amendment but violate the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. How do you square that?”

AdLib an hour ago

See you KT!

AdLib an hour ago

Harleigh – Yes but once the media attacked him on it, Trump lied and claimed he was only talking about applying it in Chicago.

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – Trump is a different animal, he can get away with all the horrible things he’s said and done because he’s a vehicle for upset people to use to tell government, “Go too hell!” They don’t care at all about what he would doo as President aside froom the hateful stuff.

AdLib 44 minutes ago

glenn – Because in Trump’s mind, anything he wants to do he can do because he sees the Presidency like being a dictitorial CEO. He wants to kill the families of terrorists and have a religious test for immigrants. The Constitution is just toilet paper for him.

AdLib 42 minutes ago

glenn – Romney used the same approoach but not to the intensity Trump has, it’s an old GOP campaign tactic. Throw a volley of lies and keep throowing them and the Dem will be forced at defense and can oonly knock down so many, leaving oothers oout there to accomplish their evil.

AdLib 40 minutes ago

glenn – So true! It’s the Repubs in Congress who have made their lives so miserable and yet because many are so limited to thinking only with their emotions and such easy rubes to manipulate. And the Repubs play to their bigotry which overrides any reason for them.

AdLib 39 minutes ago

glenn – They attacked Hillary for “Pay to Play” with the CGI even though she never received pay and there was no play, just meetings that led to nothing. Meanwhile, Trump has a slush fund hidden as a charity foundation and is proven to break the law on Pay for Play…and the MSM just yawns.

AdLib 37 minutes ago

Night Harl! Have a great staycation!

AdLib 37 minutes ago

glenn – And it’s so hard to understand how it coould be so open and have little price to pay. I mean Trump is endorsed by the KKK!

AdLib 36 minutes ago

Night glenn, enjoy the bright shiny appliances!

AdLib 36 minutes ago

Jazz appliances! Coool!
