This is all going to come crashing down on Repubs and Trump so massively.

Just stopped by to say “Hi”….there is an emergency meeting of my co-op tomorrow. We have been fighting a battle with a local fertilizer plant whose runoff is endangering our ground water. The EPA was a key player in this. Now….we need to look at our options. I am tired and tomorrow will be a long day.

Best of luck, Murph. Am assuming the effort to remove you and your friends failed?
pinkpantheroz

Murph – That is pretty serious and if you don’t get it addressed before Trump is in, it could be very hard getting the EPS to do anything then.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Or by supporting Trump and his love of pollution, they may be getting rid of themselves.
AdLib 2 hours ago
put it another way, Murph, they saw sense?
pinkpantheroz

We have been at this for three years…..we had another case 7 years ago and the EPA sorted it out. This one is more complex….I don’t know what we will do.

What do the Trump supporters in your coop think, since he opposes the EPA stopping things like this?

Yes, PPO the effort died away…..no one else wanted to take up a leadership role and now this ground water matter. You all know that nearly all of the co-op members are Trump supporters. The mental disconnect is extraordinary.

Hey glenn!
AdLib 2 hours ago
So Murph, they are strongly in favor of addressing this yet they support the destruction of the EPA? I don’t get it.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Good evening, gents. How is everyone?
glenn
2 hours ago
Nor do I. BTW I have not decided if I am willing to continue to work for these idiots any longer. The co-op does little to benefit me.
MurphTheSurf3
2 hours ago
Not bad tonight, glenn. And you?
AdLib 2 hours ago
Murph – Will you be affected by that contaminated groundwater?
AdLib 2 hours ago
Ad, I’ve been better. Between the cold weather, (which you know I hate), the holiday season (which depresses me), and the trumpelthinskin being president elect, I’m a little down. I’m trying to work through it, so came here for some sense and cheer.
glenn

The news about the russian connection to the last election and the intent to swing the election to Trump…and how the GOP leadership in the House and Senate voted to keep it quiet. Stunning.
MurphTheSurf3

Murph–hope you can work things out with the co-op.
glenn

Ad, the run off streams will most affect a dozen or so of our members and I am not one of them. I am at the far end of the run. BUT the person most affected had Trump/Pence signs all along his fence line. Irony.

glenn – Our music thread this weekend is about cheering each other up with humorous videos from tv and film. It’s pretty widespread, that perfect storm of less sunlight, the cold, the holiday pressure and of course Trump. We need to bring each other up.
AdLib 2 hours ago
There will be many more things that the repubs will keep silent, Murph. They have now equated President Obama’s playing golf to trump’s producing his stupid reality show. The hypocrisy is stunning. Overheard a conversation in a restaurant at lunch today where some deplorable was saying how we are so much “better off” now that trump has been elected. And, this was in a Mexican restaurant!
glenn

Murph – So it’s very good news that Obama will not let this biggest story of the election…or coup…remain covered up.

Hi, glenn, sorry you’re chilly. Can’t believe what I’m seeing on the TV about winter storms. nove to Australia!

I agree, Ad. We do need to cheer each other up. Didn’t mean to dump on you; I try not to dump my problems on others; sorry about that.
glenn

Glenn…I have been swimming in a cesspool of gloaters here as I spy the speeding trump train bearing down on their lives without them being in the least aware.

Murph – Maybe not irony as much as typical. These emotional voters whoo eshew reason and facts often vote directly against their own interests. But they have so much fear and hostility inside them, they can’t stop themselves or change.
AdLib an hour ago
PPO–I would move to Australia in a hearbeat if it weren’t for my family here.
glenn

glenn, stay where you are. It’s not all Beaches and sunlight ( although there IS a lot of that).

Murph–do you think they’ll ever wake up? Or will everything be Obama’s fault from now on?
glenn

glenn – We will be in a BS downpour for 4 years. No matter how many terrible things go on, Trump and his minions will declare utopia!
AdLib an hour ago
Ad, and all the Twits in the Twittersphere will be conned all the way.
pinkpantheroz

Glenn…you are correct there is more to be revealed and I hope it is….as to waking up…Yes, in the seconds before the train wipes them out.

The problem is that the Mainstream Media, while they may be writing articles and reporting all Trump’s lies, is not where people are looking for their ‘News”. they want to get all the shite from facebook, Twitters etc..
pinkpantheroz

Ad–I remember when I used to say that trickle down economics was just pissing on all of us. Now, as you say, we won’t just get pissed on (and pissed off), we will be constantly wiping the BS off. And, there is nothing that any liberal, Democrat, progressive, or independent can say or do that will seemingly change the minds of the trump cultists. Because, in my mind, that’s what they are, cultists. Nothing else explains their behavior.
glenn

glenn – You’re not dumping at all, we all need to express what’s going on now. We have a big section of the country truly depressed and despondant but pulling back into their caves to lick their wounds. That’s healthy but the way to move forward is to get it all out and help each other move forward.
AdLib an hour ago
Ad…I cannot wait to hear how that guy is going to address this. Tomorrow may be my last day with the co-op.
MurphTheSurf3

I have run out of patience and forebearance.

Murph, if it is your last day, please be sure to let fly fully about your thoughts on Trump voters. Give ’em an earful!

Murph – It is exactly like drunken fools walking down the train tracks about to be run down by the train they helped build. No question what’s going to happen to these “uneducated voters”.

PPO….in a land of nasty people with guns….I will bow out gracefully suggesting that given the election it seems clear they need leadership that reflects those results.

PPO – How do you coon someone whose home is being foreclosed and has no maney that he’s better off? Or those who no longer have groundwater to drink? Or healthcare when they fall ill? Words can’t “trump” suffering.

glenn – As Kes and I were discussing on my recent post, the Trump Tools will only realize what fools they have been when their level of suffering reaches a high point.

Murph–so sorry you are out of patience. I admire your fortitude and your willingness to work for your community. Just remember that we here at the Planet admire and appreciate you.
glenn

con someone, that is.

Thank you Glenn….you have shared your own frustrations in the Southland so you know from whence I come….I appreciate the support.

Murph – Considering that they wanted to get rid of you, maybe the best thing you can do for them is let them fail and suffer. Only then might they come to their senses. If you help them, might they only resent you and blame you as part of the problem when things get worse?
