No kidding!

AdLib 7 days ago

No question, I wake up every day wondering if WWIII started earlier.

AdLib 7 days ago

And we need Dems to take The Senate oor The House in 2018.

AdLib 7 days ago

What up FD?!

AdLib 7 days ago

Love that film! “Help me! He-e-elp me!”

AdLib 7 days ago

That was the catch phrase from that film. As for Price movies, what’s your favorite?

AdLib 7 days ago

Ever seen Dr. Phibes?

AdLib 7 days ago

Trump already has the fingers and genitals of a fly.

AdLib 7 days ago

Hey Harleigh!

AdLib 7 days ago

Yes, Pit and Pendulum!

AdLib 7 days ago

Yes Beatlex, The Raven!

AdLib 7 days ago

Right Harleigh, The Raven is one of my faves!

AdLib 7 days ago

House of Wax?

AdLib 7 days ago

Right you are, Beatlex!

FD – And a young Nicholson cameo in another Corman film, “Little Shop of Horrors”.

AdLib 7 days ago

AdLib 7 days ago

So many big names started with Roger Corman films including Nicholson and Martin Scorsese.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Yep, Boxcar Bertha.

AdLib 7 days ago

Yes!

AdLib 7 days ago

How about that tape of Trump whining about how he liked his old life better?

AdLib 7 days ago

Bill Maher calls Trump, “Whiny Little Bitch”. Hard to argue with that now.

AdLib 7 days ago

Heh! Beat you by a second, FD!

AdLib 7 days ago

Hey! You owe me a Coke…whoops, now I owe you one!

AdLib 7 days ago

What that whining tells me is that…maybe we can drive Trump out of the WH is he’s made miserable enough.

AdLib 7 days ago

if he’s made miserable enough, that is.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Look at how the presidency ages and stresses out all other presidents who were far better prepared. How can it not drive him insane?

AdLib 7 days ago

Harleigh – Good point but Pence is going to get creamed once Sally Yates exposes that she told him about Flynn way before Pence lied about not knowing.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – All the above work! Trump is really showing that he’s way over his head being in the WH and he’s just barely holding on. When he learns that it’s only going to get worse for him and he’s only going to be more hated, he might snap.

AdLib 7 days ago

Beatlex – It’s like Archie Bunker won the Presidency.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – I think so, the most disliked man in politics today according to polls, Paul Ryan. Poor Paulie, and he thought becoming Speaker was a path to the presidency. Ryan is so over now, couldn’t happen to a more perfect douche.

AdLib 7 days ago

Harleigh – One pundit I saw today took note that any other US president who said, “We could have a major, major conflict with North Korea” would cause the world to shudder that war was coming but Trump has so cemented his image as a blowhard liar, no one takes him seriously.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Bingo! History and momentum is with us in taking back The House or Senate. We need huge Dem turnout but we can do one or the other…dare I say both???

AdLib 7 days ago

Beatlex, I think you’re not posting the proper URL. I’ve posted two videos from YouTube tonight already. Remoove the “http://” from the URL, post it and I’ll get it posted.

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – You can always change to PDT!

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Imagine the environment we’ll be in politically in 2018. Trump’s failures and betrayals will have sapped his base of enthusiasm. Dems will be excited to stop Trump. A recipe for Repub disaster.

AdLib 7 days ago

2 years of Trump’s lies, the Russia investigation and indictments (and trials?), after 2 years of Trump madness, who’s going to the polls too excitedly vote for more of the same?

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – Your PM has really been dissed by Trump. Who needs allies in Trump’s America?

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – You mean as Dems. Progressives are pretty united, it’s the division between them and the more centrist/conservative Dems that’s the issue. But by 2018, all will be united in blocking Trump.

AdLib 7 days ago

Nothing like a common Big Bad to bring a divided party together.

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – Yes, I know, not crazy about the PM and SK is in turmoil after removing their corrupt President. But Trump is far worse!

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Purists suck, wherever they are. But even Dem purists will be desperate to vote Dem after two years of Trump. Never underestimate the repellent power of Trump and being subjected to it for two years.

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – Attacking Hillary or Bernie is not a recipe for bringing Dems together to block Trump. That all has to be put aside for the greater good.

AdLib 7 days ago

Beatlex – Agreed, Trump seems to be the ultimate result of Fox News style politics, the victimhood, racism, sexism pushed upon the Right. They’ve been propagandized by it for decades and Trump is the embodiment of all that toxicity.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Just suggesting that thoose who preferred Hillary or Bernie are taking their eyes off the ball by still attacking the other. Beating Trump and unifying over that is what matters now.

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – Yes, Trump hasn’t signed one single piece of meaningful legislation in his first 100 days. I think, when put up side-by-side with former presidents, Trumps 100 days (and eventaually, only term) will be seen as the biggest failure in recent history.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Yep, that is a great list! And the hits keep coming!

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Trumps EOs have attacked many priorities for indie and younger voters, I don’t care if they vote Dem just to vote against Trump but they won’t be voting Indie in 2018. As for 2020, I can imagine some Trump voters voting foor Indies but Dems will be fired up and ready to crush Trump.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Which is why I think Dems will have a landslide victory in 2018 and 2020. Trump dooesn’t represent American values, just the worst traits a human could have. After 4 years of that, voters will be stampeding to vote him out of office.

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – Got it. I agree with you on that too. Bernie doesn’t need to be bringing Hillary into any conversation about Progressives moving forward with the Dem party. He should stay focused on the only and shared enemy of all Dems, Indies and conscientious Repubs, The Orange Menace. Just saying that it’s best if all those opposed to Trump look to uniting and letting the past election stay in the past.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – I agree with you and PPO about Bernie staying positive but there is a genuine battle within the Dem Party between the Establishment Dems and Progressives on the direction of the party. IMO, it’s a fight over the deck chairs on the Titanic. We need to recognize that the enemy is not each other, it’s the crazy narcisist in the WH. The Estab Dems need to keep their thumbs off the scales next time in the primaries (no Superdelegates pre-electing a candidate and scheduling primaries to favor the more conservative candidate) and Progressives have to let Bernie’s loss in the primaries stay in the past and not harbor grudges against fellow Dems (some folks on both sides feel righteous in their resentments of the others but no time for that foolishness anymore, we’ve got bigger, nastier fish to fry).

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Well, at least Trump will have the record for most campaign officials imprisoned!

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Even if younger voters see it as just symboolic to oppose Trump by voting Dem in 2018, that works for me.

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – Which insanity with South Korea? Many to choose from. You mean Trump threatening war with NK and NK firing another (failed) missile today? Or Trump needling Kimmy towards war while attacking SK for the US trade agreement with them and wanting $1 billion to let them keep the missile defense? Or the SK election?

AdLib 7 days ago

Night Beatlex!

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – Really, it’s like a “friend” insulting and provoking your next door neighbor that he isn’t man enough to attack you then saying he’ll help protect you but only if you pay him a lot of money because you’ve been a greedy jerk in the past.

AdLib 7 days ago

FD – Yep! Or even more simply put, a bully with money. Trump ony knows how to negotiate by making empty, outrageous threats. He nearly always backs down and proves that his threats are simple-minded and hollow.

AdLib 7 days ago

SK is already pissed at and noot trusting Trump for lying aboout the aircraft carrier coming. Now?

AdLib 7 days ago

Have a great weekend KT!

AdLib 7 days ago

PPO – Yep, that’s the dangerous nature of having a coowardly loudmouth bully as your country’s leader. Someone will finally punch him in the mouth but attacking our military or country and then…being unbalanced as he is, even worse things will likely happen.

AdLib 7 days ago

by attacking

AdLib 7 days ago

Youo too, pal. Say hi to Fergie for me and have a great weekend!
