Vox Populi – 6-16-2017

I’m under Investigation! Hi AD!

pinkpantheroz

Witch one?

pinkpantheroz

I was on the beach, so I’m a Sandwitxh

pinkpantheroz

Just checking the news. Bannon’s now in trouble. He’s the prime mover in all this crap

pinkpantheroz

It’s getting laughable, if the country weren ‘t in such jeopardy

pinkpantheroz

Evening, gents. I’m not a witch, but what I am rhymes with witch, and I’m damn proud of it!

glenn

Glenn, Murph, Hi!

pinkpantheroz

Hello…..I thought Trump had gotten to our site and crashed it but the Mighty Ad Lib waved his Admin Wand and all was well.

MurphTheSurf3

me too, for a minute, then it cleared up

pinkpantheroz

Murph–the only way trump could crash our site is by sheer accident. The man is not smart enough to crash anyone’s site.

glenn

Ad–I’m guess trump keeps his wand in a place that makes the wand turn brown?

glenn

inaccessible huh??? WTF??

Harleigh

Hey Harleigh!

glenn

How will that administration get anything done?

MurphTheSurf3

Oops, “I’m guessing….”

glenn

folks, what is EDVA?

pinkpantheroz

i don’t know. what is EDVA?

Harleigh

Murph–you know, that’s the sad part. While we’re all focused on trump and his twitter tantrums, the repub congresscritters are passing all kinds of evil legislation, and trying to get their stupid health care bill passed in secrecy.

glenn

Remember when the shit hit the fan for Clinton? He was able to compartmentalize which maintained his ability to function and to lead….when the clouds cleared that was the foundation for a successful finish to his presidency.

MurphTheSurf3

PPO–If it’s in reference to a court, it means “Eastern District of Virginia.”

glenn

The only reference I know to EDVA is the Eastern District of Virginia.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad–and we all know that if you curse trump back, he twits away, because like all bullies, he’s just a scaredy cat.

glenn

Claude’s called it right about EDVA court action

pinkpantheroz

Ad….quite so…..definitely a plus for Clinton.

MurphTheSurf3

Maybe EDVA is canadian for covfefe?

Harleigh

harleih!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I hope you’re right about the spotlight being put on the health notcare bill. We need to focus on that before the repubs sneak it through in the middle of the night, or something.

glenn

Ad I think that Trump will try to sabotage Mueller and will eventually move to fire him. It is how he does things…react, react, react, without appropriate guidance and breaks.

MurphTheSurf3

They whole admin is going to find that they were not as sneaky as they thought and these investigations are going forward. The cover up will be as clumsy.

Harleigh

When lawyers are hiring lawyers to defend them the car is careening for the cliffs

MurphTheSurf3

Ad–We all know that the health notcare bill is more about policy than health care, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that repubs are afraid to show this bill in public, because they know the public will hate it.

glenn

The stpid buggers are leaving a paper. electronic and money trail as big as the Amazon. It just needs Congress to do the duty they took an oath to do.

pinkpantheroz

Ad, tax claim

pinkpantheroz

Ad….the fallout….public disdain, but his own base will hold so he is no worse off. Congressional action? Well, lots of sputtering and foaming but will the GOP majority in the House act. I do not think so

MurphTheSurf3

PPO- and therein lies the problem – the Congress i.e. the GOP have no interest in doing the right thing.

MurphTheSurf3

no shit AD.

Harleigh

pinkpantheroz

congress is using Dolt45 as a distraction. nothing more.

Harleigh

PPO….so funny

MurphTheSurf3

Dolt 45…oh Harleigh how cruel and how on the mark!

MurphTheSurf3

Surely, Ad, someone can put it all together. Maybe thats what Mueller is doing. Hope so, before they cut him loose

pinkpantheroz

Ad–Jay Bookman, a columnist at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, showed a conversation between John McCain and a VOX reporter where she asked McCain, “Generally, what are the big problems this bill is supposed to solve?” McCain’s answers: 1. “Almost of them. They’re trying to get 51 votes.” This is a direct quote. She kept trying to focus on what the bill was supposed to solve, and McCain just kept talking about getting “consensus”. Not once did he talk about what problems the bill was supposed to solve. As Bookman says at the end, “it ain’t policy” they’re talking about; it’s politics.

glenn

Murph that was coourtesy of KT! Thats all I refer to him as now.

Harleigh

Murph–You hit the nail on the head. The repubs will not do anything about trump. I don’t know when he will become a liablility. I’m thinking never.

glenn

BRB juggling a bit here

pinkpantheroz

Ad–do you think the new emoluments lawsuit will make any difference?

glenn

long as Dolt45 is there congress can do whatever they want, mostly in backrooms.

Harleigh

Here’s a story….one of my neighbors (about a mile away) had his House decorated in Trump Motif. MAGA painted on the roof. Campaign signs all over the fences. Big yard banners. AND one those things that has a fan blowing up it causing it to wave back and forth that looked like Trump. He was a Trump organizer and wore several campaign buttons all the time. I was STUNNED THIS WEEK when I drove by and most of it was down. I do not know him but a friend does and I asked her if she knew what was going on…and she said that the guy’s frustration has been building day by day and last week’s tweets apparently put it over the top….and he has had it. A trend? I hope so.

MurphTheSurf3

lol

Harleigh

Murph–here’s hoping that trend continues!

glenn

Ad….the thing is that for that kind of reaction to happen the majority would need to know what is going on…..will they? AND if they do will they be able to organize or respond to organization?

MurphTheSurf3

Ad–I agree. They’ve painted themselves into the corner of “repeal Obamacare”, but as we’ve said since Obamcare was passed, they never had a replacement bill. IOW, they’ve been lying to their base for years. Let’s see, though, if the base’s hatred of Obamacare overcomes their hatred of liberals

glenn

Glenn your McCain story – it illustrates the reality. It is ALL about the win, no matter what it takes…and with no regard to the needs of the people.

MurphTheSurf3

and they vote for a Dem, or stay at home in 2018 and 2020.

glenn

Murph–exactly! Here’s the link if you want to read the whole column, which includes the McCain conversation:

glenn

Murph–I don’t think repubs have been about the needs of the people for many years now.

glenn

Ad–I think that trump’s supporters are finally getting tired of “winning”.

glenn

Ad…The thing that is really driving people to distraction is that Trump accepts NO responsibility for anything. MAN UP….is becoming the core critique.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad- as always your filter is CA and mine is MO…perhaps the reality is somewhere in between.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–trump is his own worst enemy! Thank goodness! His blustering. lying, and exaggerating, which have served him for many years, are all falling apart now that he no longer can use his shady business practices to govern (or to be more precise–to try to govern).

glenn

Glenn – thanks for the link.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad, well, the 1% want returns on their electoral investments.

pinkpantheroz

Glenn…..and he cannot hide from himself which was the key to skating out from under prior crises like this…he is the prez and everything he says or does has the potential to be front page

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–you’re welcome. I read Bookman every day, and especially like to read the comments following his columns. It’s why I have such a different view of what’s on the minds of the American people than Ad does. There are many comments following Bookman’s columns about how it’s all the liberals’ fault for everything–no matter what it is. Sort of like trump–nothing is a repubs fault–it always comes back down to liberal “snowflakes”, Benghazi, Obama, or Hillary.

glenn

Glenn, your filter in GA is much like mine in Mo.

MurphTheSurf3

Naval Disaster unfolding. Trump still tweeting with Hannity

pinkpantheroz

Murph and Ad–In fact, here’s one response to the column that you have to love: “More illegals will be deported. Jobs up. MAGA” So yeah, our filters are about the same.

glenn

Ad….Macho is really big here and Men Take Responsibility … real men at least.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad…the protests are urban and the urban/rural divide is huge….and in my part of the world even those city protests have been impressive but not a sign of overwhelming support.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–I find that “responsibility” think is so situational with repubs. Usually the only ones who have to take responsibility for anything are blacks, Muslims, and liberals. When it’s a repub who has to “man up”, there’s always someone else to blame!

glenn

“responsibility” thing, not “think”.

glenn

Ad–you ask, “how stupid is trump”? I don’t think we’ve actually found the answer to that question yet, but he sure is trying to show us how stupid he can be!

glenn

Ad–do you mean trump firing Mueller will be the unifying theme?

glenn

Well gents, time for me to toddle on out of here. Hope all you dads out there have a Happy Father’s Day. I’ll “see” you all next week.

glenn

Ad – have you seen this….Trump coming on stage to the protest them from Le Mis

MurphTheSurf3

me too glenn. have a good weekend all!

Harleigh

cheers, glenn. Me too, unfortunately. Just getting interesting!

pinkpantheroz

Glenn…so nice to see you this week..a very important one and we who pay attention know why and how.

MurphTheSurf3

Harleigh…are you heading out as well….ah well….take care.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad….looks like it is just you and me……short but lots of energy tonight.

MurphTheSurf3

What is?

MurphTheSurf3

And deplorable

MurphTheSurf3

Well this one is not energized now….tired but glad I stayed up Vox….see you next week!
