Vox Populi – 3-3-2017

Good evening, Ad and PPO. How is everyone tonight? PPO, haven’t heard much about your Fergie lately. How is she doing?

glenn

Hi Ad, you doing okay?

glenn

Same old, same old.

glenn

So, do you think there is some “there, there”?

glenn

Hi Ad and glenn. Fergie’s fine, apart from the usual crap like IBS, one eye, scoliosis, new hip and a few other things!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–okay, glad to hear everything’s “normal”.

glenn

Is everyone, like me, suffering from Scrotus fatigue?

pinkpantheroz

pinkpantheroz

Ad–our so-called president has been getting away with crap all of his life; I think his reckoning is coming up soon. I still think, though, that republicans are dragging their feet because they’re waiting for him to sign their ridiculous bills.

glenn

No, DG ad. Just a challenge or two every day, it seems. But she’s a trouper

pinkpantheroz

PPO–If scrotus fatigue means that we’re sick of our so-called president getting away with crap day after day, then yes, I suffer from it.

glenn

I tweeted to george takei: Where is the Benghazigate uproar now?

pinkpantheroz

PPO–You’ll love this one! I just read an article where Hugh Hewitt, a gop pundit, said today that the MSM just didn’t pay enough attention to Benghazi and other Obama “scandals.”

glenn

Ad–I will believe our so-called president is in “trouble” when I see the impeachment hearings begin and when he is escorted out of the Oval Office for malfeasance.

glenn

Oh God, glenn. Really???

pinkpantheroz

PPO–swear to god, he is quoted as saying that. In fact, I think it was a twitter feed.

glenn

Have to laugh at Trumps directive about lobbyists. Hasn’t he just lined his office with them?

pinkpantheroz

Ad–oh yeah, I know hewitt is a twit. Just have to laugh, though, at the way repubs seem to think they can rewrite history every day.

glenn

PPO–IOIYAR.

glenn

…at the way repubs rewrite history, and the repub rubes eat it up!

glenn

Something weird about the GOP, Ad. They seem to be all suffering from amnesia. Thank goodness we dont!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–that’s why they have to hide their health care bill. Mustn’t let the public see it, nor let the CBO analyze it. Otherwise, their empty promises will be brought to light!

glenn

Hey Harleigh…long time, no “see”. How are you?

glenn

Ad–will melania visit trump in prison?

glenn

welcome H! long time. How’s the health?

pinkpantheroz

hey guys!

Harleigh

PPO–speaking of rewriting history…Sean Hannity has also said that conservatives “never picked on MIchelle Obama and the Obama daughters.” That’s a direct quote….ain’t conservatism wonderful?

glenn

I’m well now thanks

Harleigh

Harleigh–glad to hear you’re well now. Good news!

glenn

glenn,she’ll never visit. She can’t even make it to the WH

pinkpantheroz

Ad–don’t think they have conjugal visits now!

glenn

McTurtle ask we give drumpf the same respect that they gave Obama. OK… we will.

Harleigh

Ad, I’m sure she’d be eternally grateful for that!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–well, you know she has to get Barron to school!

glenn

AD it was 3 weeks of antbiotics to finally get rid of my respiratory infection… all of january.

Harleigh

Oh, poor widdle Uggums!

pinkpantheroz

Ouch, Harleigh. Hope you’re better now, coming into spring – not that you’d know it in some parts

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I love it that rand paul is the one who started the search. Dems should be “looking” for that bill every day now, and putting their faces in front of every camera they can, asking “Where’s the bill”

glenn

It’s the updated version of “Where’s Waldo?”

glenn

jobs jobs jobs

Harleigh

Con, Con, Con

pinkpantheroz

Ad–good one! Conjob visits!

glenn

But the bugger didn’t say it under oath, dammit

pinkpantheroz

the whole russia thingis unraveling fast… the whole cabal

Harleigh

Harleigh–and don’t forget, “buy American”, except for the pipeline…that’s exempt from the rules.

glenn

Whew 40 items in 4 auctions takes tons of time. Hey everyone!

SueInCa

Hey Sue! How are you?

glenn

Hiya Sue. Welcome!

pinkpantheroz

This is like an oasis after all that. Hi glenn and pink!

SueInCa

hey sue!

Harleigh

yep but it brings in the sales

SueInCa

Harleigh!

SueInCa

So is the news good this week or what? The whole shitstorm is about to blow up

SueInCa

Sue–you’re right…Friday nights keeps me sane in our new alternate reality.

glenn

Howdy everyone – and HEY SUE! Long time, no see!

choicelady

There are so many elements to this Russia thing, but it is a mortal hit for sure, Hey CL!!!

SueInCa

Ad–I hope you’re correct about that. There are many unhappy repubs because the bill doesn’t destroy the whole health care thingy! They’re such caring individuals. But I’ll bet they’ll vote for however many more billions our so-called president wants for the military. Money for military; death for healthcare!

glenn

Hey back atcha, AdLib – nice to be back. My Fridays hav been bizarre lately. Good to be here.

choicelady

Hey CL–how are you?

glenn

“President Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin used his first senior staff meeting last month to tell his new aides he would not tolerate leaks to the news media, sources familiar with the matter said.” Leaks about leaking about leaks!

pinkpantheroz

Hi glenn – I’m pretty OK how ar YOU?

choicelady

Hey PPO – that makes no sense, but it’s Mnuchin, so…

choicelady

Ha ha the leaks will continue, Pink and it is driving them nuts

SueInCa

Hi CL!

Harleigh

Hi. Choice!

pinkpantheroz

CL–same old, same old. Still hanging in there, and looking forward to my dose of sanity every Friday night.

glenn

I have never seen leaks like these. And it was driven by the National Park Service with which I have worked. Geeks rule!

choicelady

It would be suicide for them now that people actually know ACA is Obamacare SMDH

SueInCa

Hi Harleigh!

choicelady

A lot of black money goes through National Parks Services.

pinkpantheroz

We’ve missed you, too – but life has intruded.

choicelady

Thanks, Adlib, I have missed the gang here too

SueInCa

PPO – it did not go through NPS in “my day” when it was a very great set of people doing good things.

choicelady

glad we’re all here tonite

Harleigh

This group rocks! welcome all

pinkpantheroz

Sue – I agree that now Obamacare and ACA have been shown to be THE SAME THING that threre is a lot of “buyers’ remorse” going on.

choicelady

Sue–well, most repub voters are still trying to understand that Obamacare thingy. It’s the name that gets them. I’ve actually read replies on blogs that people say, Why did Obama name it Obamacare? Just proves how in love with himself he is. They don’t seem to know that it’s the stupid repubs that named it that. Of course, there’s a lot they don’t know; that’s why we have this so-called president!

glenn

Hey AdLib -feared Trump had come for you there for a mment.

choicelady

Sue – it WAS the GOP (and some CA single payer assholes) who called it Obamacare.

choicelady

glenn, the fools don’t know that the ACA and obamacare are one and the same. Proven again and again.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–it is nice to have some of the “old gang” back again!

glenn

Who you callin old, Willis?

pinkpantheroz

glenn – how is life, how are you, how are the grandkids?

choicelady

PPO–if the shoe fits….

glenn

PPO – LOL!! I’m right there with you on the “old” part!

choicelady

unfortunately, it does!

pinkpantheroz

They are so hateful they tried to get rid of their own healthcare, that speaks volumes

SueInCa

brb

pinkpantheroz

So my latest pissed off moment is reading that DT is planning for ICE to separate women from children who cross the border. A “Sophie’s Choice” moment in US Gestapo history.

choicelady

CL–I’m doing well; life is still good; and the grandkids are doing well. My oldest granddaughter got married in a beautiful wedding on Dec. 30th. And took a trip to Scottsdale, AZ last week to visit a friend, so I’m good.

glenn

Sounds like your life is going well, Glenn

SueInCa

glenn – ohhh that’s so NICE! And Scottsdale is very fine though I wouldn’t want to live there!

choicelady

PPO–I know, and I’m wearing the matching pair!

glenn

Wait until the Coal miners get their letter about their healthcare going bye bye

SueInCa

My daughter in CO had a new little daughter and she’s 2 months today.

Harleigh

CL–reminiscent of the “camp trains”, isn’t it?

glenn

Harleigh – congratulations gramps! My granddaughter-by-proxy is now ten, and I cannot believe it.

choicelady

I saw her picture, Harleigh, she is beautiful

SueInCa

glenn – it is truly horrifying.

choicelady

Sue–I can’t complain about my life.

glenn

My grandson is 17 this month and completes two years of HS this year to graduate early

SueInCa

the stupid miners are losing pensions and HC. Wait when they lose heating assistance and SNAP.

Harleigh

Sue – HOW DID HE GET TO BE 17???? Last I recall he was a little kid! Obviously we need to talk more!

choicelady

CL–Yeah, I wouldn’t want to live in Scottsdale, either. Desert landscape doesn’t do much for me!

glenn

Thanks Sue!

Harleigh

CL the churches are stepping up. A Catholic diocese ordered all of their churches to become sanctuaries

SueInCa

Adlib, you can send my email to CL

SueInCa

AddLib – The Resistance is powerful because it’s borrowing from the Civil Rights movment and turning to both activism AND advocacy.

choicelady

Harleigh–Congrats on the new granddaughter. Is that your first grandchild? Grandchildren are just wonderful, especially granddaughters!

glenn

Ha they actually took the Tea Party rule book and rewrote it for the resistance

SueInCa

Sue – our Protestant ones are, too. InterfaithMobilization for Human Integrity is leading, the United Methodists are doing it as well.

choicelady

High School Adlib? Get out your wallet

SueInCa

glenn i never see my son or his ex’s or kids. LOL

Harleigh

Ad–do you mean to say that our so-called president hasn’t done enough horrible things already? He needs to do MORE?

glenn

Indivisible Guide is doing well, so well that the GOP are warning about them as almost terrorists!

pinkpantheroz

CL–glad to hear churches are stepping up.

glenn

CL our parish was already doing it but still waiting for the formal ok from the diocese in Sac

SueInCa

Harleigh–don’t know what the situation is with your son, but I’m sorry to hear that.

glenn

Sue – I think it’s less the Tea Party and more those who remember the Civil Rights Movement and it’s powerful unity of activism and advocacy that has turned the tide. In the Women’s March 1-21 the diversity of people and unity of purpose was AMAZING. I marched in Sacto, and we had 20K on the Capital grounds and ANOTHER 20K in the streets. ALL of us were focused on speaking truth to power however we can.

choicelady

I am so proud of all the people who are joining in on the resistance, people I know who have never been activists are stepping up. CL the guy who wrote the handbook took it from the Tea Paty book

SueInCa

Harleigh – I’m sorry for your family estrangement. That was and is much of my own experience.

choicelady

kiss that money goodbye, AD! You’ll break even, at best! But Love is priceless

pinkpantheroz

Ad–my youngest granddaughter starts high school in the fall, too. Hard to believe the time has gone by so quickly!

glenn

glenn – that is very fine, but gosh the years fly by!

choicelady

By the time you get to Senior year, with a girl, just leave your wallet on the entry way table lol

SueInCa

glenn he got messed up in a motorcyle wreck a few years ago, is one of those biker jebus freaks and hates minorities. In short became all the things my wife and I won’ fucking tolerate, me being somewhat opinionated and a little librul. LOL

Harleigh

“Indivisible” could have been written by my organization, and I love it but can’t really USE it since it is partisan. But I do recommend it to everyone.

choicelady

ha ha I thought you were retiring, CL

SueInCa

Harleigh – oh damn. I am SO sorry. Bikers for Jebus creep ME out and I work for a large progressive faith organization.

choicelady

Sue – I was. Then Trump. Fuck him.

choicelady

CL–yup, time flies. I’m waiting to hear from my oldest granddaughter when I’ll be a great grandmother. She and her husband are anxious to have kids; she has some health problems that she’s working on before she gets pregnant, but they’re ready to start a family.

glenn

If Hillary had won I think I would have retired. Now. I can’t.

choicelady

Hey my flag says I am in SF but I am in little tiny Benicia lol

SueInCa

REAL movements trump (snark) astroturf any day of the week.

choicelady

Harleigh–it’s tough when family members are separated. I hope some day you can be reunited with him. In the meantime, I love your being a liberal!

glenn

Sue – you still in that wonderful place from a few years back? I WILL come down to see you!

choicelady

Hey peeps!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Yep, we bought and are not moving ever again. We have move 14 times in 44 years

SueInCa

AdLib – AND your daughter is a terrific human being already!

choicelady

hi fd!

Harleigh

FD! How goesit?

pinkpantheroz

Hey Harliegh!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hey FD – I don’t know you but Hi.

choicelady

Hey Fuzzy–how goes it?

glenn

Sup, P? Glenn? I hope all is well.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Sue – I rmember that. I’m glad you’re fine now where you are!

choicelady

cl, FD had another name before.

pinkpantheroz

FD – who are you REALLY? We probably know each other then.

choicelady

How goes it, Ad?

Fuzzy Dunlop

It’s me C Lady…Killgore Trout

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad–That’s right, I remember from far back when we discussed our kids. I wish your daughter well on getting the scholarship.

glenn

HEY!!!! Why the change of moniker? GREAT to see you!!!

choicelady

Sue–sounds like you have moved as much as I have. Keeps you on your toes, doesn’t it? Glad to hear you found somewhere to settle!

glenn

Ad, best of luck for your girl gettin a scholarship

pinkpantheroz

I had a bit of log in trouble with KT, and I just changed it to Fuzzy Dunlop!

Fuzzy Dunlop

I would NEVER have recognized her! She is tall and gorgeous but didn’t see the little girl I once met there!

choicelady

Well so glad to see you, FD – whatever the name! Hope you’re well?

choicelady

FD – not to touch a sore point, but how is your mother?

choicelady

I am doing great CL. I hope the same for you. Well, besides our current state of the union.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD – we all have to make clear the diff btw the personal and the Trump.

choicelady

Disgusted that a person arrested for 6 Jewish bomb threats is not only a journalist, but black. Shame on him

pinkpantheroz

Glenn it was mostly me, moving up and closer to work, Tony stayed with one company for 30 years. Also school districts and such. Now we are pretty status quo

SueInCa

PPO–I agree, shame on him.

glenn

Absolutely. We need each other now, more than ever.

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO – I read that the person who made the threats is a poster from a RW set of web sites including Infowars.

choicelady

Hey Killgore, did not see you come in

SueInCa

Ad–your daughter is going in the right direction because she has such a wonderful guide.

glenn

Hey Sue!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Sue, KT is now FD!

pinkpantheroz

No he is always KT to me

SueInCa

I’ve been reborn. Long live Killgore Trout!

Fuzzy Dunlop

I really am appalled at the people pushing over dead peoples gravestones! WTF??

Harleigh

What is a Fuzzy Dunlop?

SueInCa

KT forever!

choicelady

Sue, he can be KTFD!

glenn

That’s a handle and a half!

Fuzzy Dunlop

glenn – that sounds like a fast food franchise – KTFD!

choicelady

There you go Glenn

SueInCa

CL–great minds do think alike! That’s exactly what I thought when I typed it!

glenn

It’s similar to a Dropkick Murphy, but with SOuthern Comfort instead of Jamesons!

pinkpantheroz

Fuzzy is a made up name from the wonderful series..The Wire.

Fuzzy Dunlop

glenn – LOL!!!

choicelady

KTFD–do you have a lot of people living in your head?

glenn

P There’s a great Boston Band Named The Dropkick Murphys.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD – I have but have yet to view the ENTIRE series of The Wire. We got it just in time for our DVD to crap out. Now we have replaced it. I think I’ll watch it.

choicelady

not as many as I used to.

Fuzzy Dunlop

CL–“Kilgore Trout Finely Done?”

glenn

FD, quite a few pubs around the world are so nmed.

pinkpantheroz

FD – LOL!

choicelady

KTFD–kicked them out, did you?

glenn

It’s really well written, produced and acted. It is also very true to some sad realities in America. It is absolutely worth the viewing time.

Fuzzy Dunlop

glenn – there you go! NICELY done!

choicelady

I ask them to take leave. I may need them some day!

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD – I heard an interview w the producer who said it was thinly veiled interpretation of W’s America. I guess I’ve had those DVDs a long time!

choicelady

KTFD–If I didn’t have the voices in my head sometimes, I wouldn’t have anyone to talk to!

glenn

Thanks, CL

glenn

glenn – and the voice NEVER argue back. If you’re lucky.

choicelady

CL–my problem is they do argue back! It’s how I can take two positions on the same issue! LOL!

glenn

Ok I have an idea for a piece on PP. I have some friends who have provided me with some really good back story that explains a lot of what is going on. If I can ever sit down and put it all in chronological order, I will. One guy put out, in a series of tweets, most of the players in the trump campaign and their links to Russia. Another tied Russia to Turkey and Trump as the entity that is still working on our country.

SueInCa

Not only W’s America. But what the series shows is happening in every big city in America. and has been for a few decades now. It really shows the insanity of the war on drugs, the corrution in our police departs and city and governments, and even our news media.

Fuzzy Dunlop

ANy comments on Kellyanne Cacophonix’ photo. I think it so disrespectful towards the Teachers.

pinkpantheroz

Sue – that definitly needs your find hand. Go for it! I’ve been following it all on Twitter, and it needs consolidation.

choicelady

What photo PPO?

SueInCa

Sue–That would be a great piece. Josh Marshall on another blog is trying to put all the pieces together, too. He has had some interesting articles lately in trying to put all the moving pieces together.

glenn

glenn – I only get to do the things that the voices in my wife’s head tell her to tell me what to do!

Harleigh

Sue – the one of her in the Oval Office, feet up on a sofa

pinkpantheroz

Here’s to the downfall of Jeff Sessions. May he be the string that helps unravel the evil web known as the Trump adminstration.

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO – she’s a righteous bitch, is KAC. That was gross. The photog askd her to move her feet – and that’s what she did. She could have moved her damned SELF but noooo.

choicelady

LOL Harliegh!

Fuzzy Dunlop

I will look him up Glenn. Mine are people most people don’t even know but they were posting this stuff back in October and it has all come true

SueInCa

FD – I’m with you – Sessions may be th Keystone.

choicelady

Harleigh–that only makes you a great husband!

glenn

Oh the college professors, that was disgusting

SueInCa

Thankfully, the dems and our intel agencies are going to “move on,” concerning the Russian mess. Much to Trump’s consternation.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Harleigh -could you teach MY husband how to listen to the voice in MY head please?

choicelady

Sessions will break it all up, funny how that works. He was so low key, many republican voters were still claiming this week he had nothing to do with the campaign. I knew different

SueInCa

AdLib – yes, he will stay for the moment. I don’t see him surviving. The move toward an independent investigator is now seriously bi-partisan EVEN as weasel Issa backs out.

choicelady

Ad–of course Sessions stays as AG. That is, until our so-called president decides he’s a “disaster”, and fires him.

glenn

Whether he is proven to have lied, in a court of law, he can not be trusted as America’s top cop. He has shown himself to be quite dishonest and untrustworthy.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad, he’s shot himself in the foot because he has now recused himself for ANY investigation into the campaigns, not just the Russian Connection

pinkpantheroz

Agree FD

SueInCa

Agree, FD

pinkpantheroz

be back in a minute

SueInCa

FD – I am ROTFLMAO with how #45 is insisting that Schumer and Pelosi need to be ‘investigated’ for PUBLIC meetings w the Russian Ambassador. This man ain’t right in the head.

choicelady

His character is now besmirched. (I love that word)

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD–hasn’t it already been proven that he lied to Congress? He said he had no contact with russians, and there is proof that he did.

glenn

SUE!!! where would you have seen all that??? LOL the weird part is it is all so bizarre that it was very hard to believe and then it came true in SPADES!!

Harleigh

Dolt 45

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD – WHOSE character? Lost the “he” in your comment.

choicelady

Yes, FD, I haven’t had a good smirch in ages!

pinkpantheroz

The malt liquor you cannot believe!

Fuzzy Dunlop

So, if he lied to Congress, isn’t that grounds for impeachment? After all, if you lie about a blow job and get impeached, isn’t lying about contact with russians also lying to Congress?

glenn

I hear ya P!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Sessions.

Fuzzy Dunlop

sure is glenn.

Fuzzy Dunlop

AdLib – I think the HBCU presidents were caught tween a rock and a hard place. Go and you sold out. NOT go and you’re ‘scared’. So going and speaking OUT is a good outcome.

choicelady

FD – THAT I can buy 100%!

choicelady

Friends, Harleigh. I have gotten things from different people. I use FB for business but I keep it separate from my social activism and politics on fb

SueInCa

CL–most of America is now caught between a rock and a hard spot. The rock being our so-called president. And, I know that’s an insult to rocks!

glenn

Yes, Glenn he is guilty of perjury

SueInCa

Agree, cl I’m sure that it was the last place they wanted to be, but it IS the White House

pinkpantheroz

glenn – it’s grounds IF AND ONLY IF the majority party wills it. That’s our weakness – we do not control Congress.

choicelady

SUE, yep. I’m watching you!!! LOL

Harleigh

AdLib – that’s an interesting piece of info, thanks!

choicelady

Sue–so if he’s guilty of perjury, why isn’t he being fired?

glenn

America really is facing a crisis. We are witnessing a nascent dictatorship, and our congress and press keep ignoring that hard truth.

Fuzzy Dunlop

glenn – due process. He has not been tried or convicted of perjury yet. YET.

choicelady

He has to be proven to have deliberately lied, glenn. Tricky business.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad–but isn’t is Congress who has to convene that bipartisan panel? Do you think they’ll do it?

glenn

True, FD. It is galling to think that little us sees what they don’t

pinkpantheroz

FD – I totally disagre that Congress is ignoring this mess. I see massive reaction from Dems and a serious movement from a key number of GOP. Who thought Miss Lindsey Graham would be so bold?

choicelady

CL–okay, so when does his trial start? You can be sure if this were a Democrat, the process would’ve been started immediately!

glenn

I should have said the GOP congress.

Fuzzy Dunlop

How freaking pathetic is this? Jeff Sessions was sworn in as AG and this is what he tells reporters? “”I asked for their candid and honest opinion about what I should do about investigations, certain investigations. And my staff recommended recusal. They said that since I had involvement with the campaign, I should not be involved in any campaign investigation. I have studied the rules and considered their comments and evaluation. I believe those recommendations are right and just. Therefore, I have recused myself in the matters that deal with the Trump campaign.”

SueInCa

I don’t believe there will be a real investightion from either house of this congress.

Harleigh

FD – the media are diverse on this. Several key people are pushing the story. I am over the moon Dan Rather is wading into this and, outside the media, John Dean.

choicelady

cl, the Old Guard of the GOP are desperately trying to get back to their old ways. They need the cretins out of positions of power, so they can regaiin control

pinkpantheroz

That is why a special prosecutor must be assigned

SueInCa

I guess we have, of all people, Lindsey Graham and Gramps McCain. They both dispise Trump, as well they should. Paul Ryan is a weasely little turncoat and Trump bitch.

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO – I don’t disagree the Old Guard want power, but that is actually to our benefit.

choicelady

Harleigh–I’m afraid you’re correct. If there is an investigation, it will be so “whitewashed” that Sessions will come out looking like a victim.

glenn

Glenn Cheetolini seems to have brought Rather out of retirement.

SueInCa

I do too Ad. It’s perfect!

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD–please, don’t hold back. Tell us how you really feel about ryan.

glenn

BRB

glenn

I wish there were a hell, so Ryan could roast for all eternity. Better?

Fuzzy Dunlop

I am so stealing DOLT 45!!! awesome FD

Harleigh

agree, cl. At least they sort of know how Washington is supposed to work.

pinkpantheroz

It will have to be an independent investigation with a special prosecutor assigned. Dems need to keep their voices up calling for exactly that.

SueInCa

Hashtag it, FD!

pinkpantheroz

Oh FD, don’t worry, Ryan will never make it out of Purgatory, in fact he may never make it TO purgatory

SueInCa

brb

pinkpantheroz

The malt liquor you just can’t trust!

Fuzzy Dunlop

AdLib – I think they KNEW they were walking into a hot mess, but how do you resist him if you won’t FACE him? Not a good set of options.

choicelady

Sue – Lyin’ Ryan needs to go STRAIGHT to hell. I don’t even believe in it and want on for JUST HIM.

choicelady

And don’t forget the Obama administration has laid Hansel and Gretel bits and pieces with trusted people. They are not going to be able to bury this.

SueInCa

Sue – I was over the moon to learn what PBO had done w that intelligence info!

choicelady

I was absolutely sickened by the news media’s reaction to Trump joint session with congress. They assholes still expect Trump “pivot,” to presidential mode. That is an impossibility.

Fuzzy Dunlop

My guess is we are due for a false flag incident.

Harleigh

FD, the Washington Post called them out on it

SueInCa

FD – actually very few media outlets did the ‘he’s presidential’ thingy. Unfortunately Sacramento Bee was one of them. And VAN JONES????? WTF is the MATTER with him? Most, numerically, called it out for the perfidy it was.

choicelady

I agree ad, but it’s so disheartening to see so many people who are so unaware. They don’t understand that authoritarian regimes don’t happen overnight.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Washington Post said the pundits were fawning while the real journalists were doing their job

SueInCa

All – I think THE big fear is a ‘false flag’ attack on some part of the USA – and I fear it will be Sacramento. Then #45 will have an opening for declaring martial law. Terrifies me!

choicelady

Why Sacramento?

SueInCa

Capital of the hated state.

choicelady

Yeah, I guess you’re right CL. But the ones I saw the day after, just made me want have an “involuntary protien spill.”

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD – i understand, and yes, the pundits were assholes. No question.

choicelady

Hey, when California becomes it’s own nation, will you guys accept immigrants from Ohio/Massachusetts?

Fuzzy Dunlop

LOL I just said that! JINX!!

Harleigh

AdLib =- even IF there’s an independent council or select committee, WE WILL TAKE IT BACK.

choicelady

What Harliegh? The protien spill?

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD–just came back. Ryan is setting himself up to destroy Obamare, Social Security, and Medicare all in one fell swoop. Then he will run for president as the one who “slayed the dragons.” I agree with everyone else. There has to be a “special” place for him…hell is too good for him!

glenn

FD – I have zero interest in CalExit – it’s proposed by an expat to Russia who is VERY RW. But should we be stupid and do it, of COURSE we will accept refugees!

choicelady

False flag it is has 2 votes, me and CL, anyone else??

Harleigh

I don’t think Sac will give them the bang for their buck. SF or LA certainly would. I guess the capitol of the state would give them something but in terms of destruction SF or LA would be more powerful

SueInCa

All – if Ryan cuts basic plans, he will never EVER win any race again.

choicelady

I didn’t take it very seriously, CL. I’m just covering my chances for new citizenship!

Fuzzy Dunlop

I used to think FF but with so much info now out there, it is going to be a hard one to pull off.

SueInCa

Sue – that may well be. LA and SF are “cesspools of corruption”. But the Capitol is where Jerry is and where our laws are made, so…

choicelady

Actually, I want to stay and fight these pricks. Whatever I can do.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD – you’re better off in Columbus, kiddo. Unless you have $2000 a month for a 1 BR apartment.

choicelady

CL–I hope you’re correct about ryan never winning any race again. Unfortunately, we have this president now, who shouldn’t have won either!

glenn

OUCH! I pay $375 a month for a studio. Plus utilities. Not a bad deal.

Fuzzy Dunlop

How long does anyone think that Ambassador has to live

SueInCa

AdLib – I think ISIS knows the WORST thing they could do is harm us now. BEST thing is keep recruiting based on #45’s horrifically stupid remarks and actions such as Yemen.

choicelady

yemenghazi!!!

Harleigh

FD – CA has THE highest poverty rate in USA due to cost of living.

choicelady

Sue–which ambassador? The russian one?

glenn

Probably not long Sue. If he’s smart, he’ll take it on the lam!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Harleigh! THAT is GREAT – Yemenghazi!!!

choicelady

Yes, the UN guy got it last week

SueInCa

Sessions…LOCK HIM UP! Ain’t Karma a bitch?

Fuzzy Dunlop

AdLib – the proposition sponsor is a RW expat to Russia, so the “motivation” for CalExit is very suspicious.

choicelady

Oh for sure Ad. I want our Union in tact. Too many have died trying to keep it that way.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Agreed, Adlib and the calexit guy is a scammer

SueInCa

Oprah? Good president?

Fuzzy Dunlop

ha ha no, FD

SueInCa

sue -yes, he most certainly is. He and I got into it on Twitter, and I had to block him he’s so creepy.

choicelady

FD – Oprahc? No fucking way. NO celebrities are fit for that office.

choicelady

I have to chuckle when I ask that. She’s a hell of a lot smarter than Odious Maximus!

Fuzzy Dunlop

He is from New York state and like you said, CL, lives in Russia. So did Carter Page

SueInCa

FD – I do NOT dispute she’s way smarter than #45 but still…no.

choicelady

That’s why I chuckle when I ask it. Trump has some celebs thinking they qualify.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD–no Oprah. Even though the right wing would have no legs to stand on by saying she has no experience in government, she would be as bad a choice as HRC, IMO.

glenn

All those people surrounding DT are creepy with ties to Russia!

choicelady

Putin buries, he does not take out kneecaps

SueInCa

Ted Nugent is thinking of running for congress. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Fuzzy Dunlop

ol poopy pants for kongress

Harleigh

FD – what state is Nugent Crap-My-Pants planning to run in?

choicelady

oh I agree glen. The news of her thinking about it made me laugh.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Almost anyone who is in this fucked up cabal of Cheetolinis is in danger of dying

SueInCa

FD–really? And, how can you put Ted Nugent and “thinking” in the same sentence?

glenn

Maybe Teddy boy will be disqualified after getting caught fellating Wayne La Pierre?

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD–yup, it made me laugh–with some horror, too!

glenn

Silly me.

Fuzzy Dunlop

AdLib – I don’t see ISIS doing that. They WERE on the run, but they don’t want more military bombardment, DT;s specialty, so for now anyway, they use his videos to recruit.

choicelady

FD–but really, is nugent thinking of running for congress? Where?

glenn

Michigan, I believe.

Fuzzy Dunlop

But a FF attack is one the administration would run. Where would it come from?

SueInCa

Tunnels, under America’s Walmarts.

Fuzzy Dunlop

ISIS would not be FF unless they colluded with the trump administration

SueInCa

FD–LOL!

glenn

Funny Funny FD

SueInCa

Have you seen the people who shop at those stores?

Fuzzy Dunlop

SueInCa

yesiree

SueInCa

Watch out for those fundamentalist Canadiens!

pinkpantheroz

AdLib – the ONLY foremer celeb I’d entertain is Al Franken both from his 2 years of AMAZING policy parsing on Air America and his time in the Senate. THAT I could see. But experience matters a lot, and I have zero interest in the ‘citizen’ or ‘business’ candidate.

choicelady

Well, folks, love it that so many people are here tonight, but it’s time for me to go. Good night all. Nice chatting with everyone again. Have a great weekend, and hope to see you all next week!

glenn

nite glenn.

Harleigh

g’night, glenn. Great chat tonight

pinkpantheroz

Night Glenn, I sure will try

SueInCa

Sleep tight glenn. Happy dreams.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Nite, glenn – sweet dreams!

choicelady

I’m going to have to go, too. My hubby is facing hip replacement surgery in the Fall and prep includes exercises and hot packs and a lot of amazing stuff to do. So I need to DO it with him. GREAT seeing everyone. Hugs to all.

choicelady

Here’s a great quote from Schopenhauer–“Truth is an indestructable diamond.”

Fuzzy Dunlop

Well, I guess I’ll call it an aftenoon as well. Great today. see you all next week, hopefully.

pinkpantheroz

Good to see you, too, AdLib and EVERYONE!

choicelady

cl best of luck to your hubby.

pinkpantheroz

Good seeing you again CL. Stop by more often, will ya!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Thanks Ad!

pinkpantheroz

I just looked up and I have 179 emails in my inbox. I hate to bail too, Adlib but I swear I will put you on my calendar for Friday and I hope to get writing that piece, it will be old news by the time I finish it. Night night!

SueInCa

I have to go too. Night all. DON’T PANIC!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Not forever, Ad. It will rise to the top.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Thanks, I promise to come next friday

SueInCa

later PPO, nite all.

Harleigh
