Vox Populi – 01-26-2018

hi ad settin up. see u soon

pinkpantheroz

pinkpantheroz

boy, It’s a sticky old day here today

pinkpantheroz

will be a bit Stormy later!

pinkpantheroz

sorry there was a dropout. OK now?

pinkpantheroz

05 degrees here now expect 105 tomrrow, very humid

pinkpantheroz

sorry 95 now

pinkpantheroz

yes, but he needs to be protected so trump can’t oust him

pinkpantheroz

Hi H!

pinkpantheroz

Well, He made a fool of himself again in Davos, but what did we expect?

pinkpantheroz

Hey. Flu is horrible this year!

Harleigh

Had it a little and got meds from DR so it wasn’t the devestating hit on me…. lasted 2 weeks and 2 weeks to get going again.

Harleigh

Harleigh

ine was mitigated by my shot but that stuff really seems to be hard on me. Lots of folks here in floriduh are hospitalized

Harleigh

Mueller is gonna slam the shit out of some of these folks.

Harleigh

something’s going nuts here. sorry

pinkpantheroz

Hey Ad–how are you? Harleigh, glad to hear you’re over the flu.

glenn

yeah…. we gots our seekrit sasyaty

Harleigh

maybe the weather is messing with my internet

pinkpantheroz

secret society password: Covfefe

pinkpantheroz

PPO–are you sure it’s the weather and not a secret society?

glenn

should be ok now!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–well, since you know the password, you should be good now.

glenn

LMAO

Harleigh

well , the Fool on the Hill did it agaiin in Davos!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–Too funny!

glenn

HarHarHar, Ad!

pinkpantheroz

I am well, Ad, thanks.

glenn

PPO–doesn’t matter where he goes; he’ll always be the fool.

glenn

And…to think Melania missed all the “fun” while she was holed up in a hotel. Wonder if it was a trump hotel.

glenn

plus wife stayed home and Stormy on all the tawk shows….

Harleigh

lol

Harleigh

Poor Melanoma. I hear she wasn’t at Mar a Lago. Probably too downmarket for her, like her husband

pinkpantheroz

Ad–trump wasn’t booed at Davos; it was the media being booed. And…he didn’t fire Mueller; he only wanted to. And…the GDP did go above 3% once last year.

glenn

Just channeling my inner snark!

glenn

I’ll wait for Kennedy. I can’t stand the house licking ass at this man.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I’m not necessarily boycotting the SOTU; I just never listen to any of trump’s speeches. I am looking forward to Kennedy’s response, though. It will be nice to hear someone articulate after listening to trump.

glenn

glenn…. and the Stock Mrket is doung fine. Pity about the Dollar going down the tubes after his remarks

pinkpantheroz

PPO–oops, forgot about the stock market; just like all the repubs did the whole time President Obama was in office.

glenn

Good one, Glenn!!!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–it sure would be nice to have a younger Dem run, rather than any more old farts.

glenn

PPO–thanks.

glenn

Ad–awww, what a shame.

glenn

sorry, folks, there’s a problem somewhere. connection keeps dropping out.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–the problem may be with the Planet, cause I got a message a minute ago that I was being reconnected. I never lost the connection like PPO has, but I still had the message.

glenn

Ad–I like those men you mentioned, too, but I don’t like them as presidential candidates for the Dems. First of all, they’re all too old, and all three of them have waaay too much baggage.

glenn

Don’t know much about Kennedy, but I think he’s been in his seat for a while, and I believe he is a very capable politician.

glenn

I’m calling the NSA about the connection… now…. wrong outfit for that side of the border. sorry

Harleigh

Harleigh–did you get dropped too?

glenn

nope.

Harleigh

So, besides Kennedy, who do we like for the Dem candidate for president?

glenn

If trump is still in office in 2020.

glenn

get a small ‘connecting’ signal at bottom right of this page, but have t go out and come back in to get you

pinkpantheroz

I could vote for either of the very serious and knowledgeable women, gillibrand, Warren, Klobachar for starters.

Harleigh

Ad–yeah, I would think any Kennedy would be sharp.

glenn

Kennedy would be OK, would hesitate to nominat a womwn just now… too much baggage from HRC

pinkpantheroz

uh-oh…. content cops….

Harleigh

Harleigh–Who is Klobacher? Don’t know her. What about Duckworth?

glenn

you can imagine the attacks on any of them. Maybe Duckworth. Such courage and Chutzpah

pinkpantheroz

Ad–well Warren isn’t as old as those men; plus she does swing hard!

glenn

Amy Klobuchar, MN Sr Sen.

Harleigh

OK, Ad, just an annoyance. Hate missing out!

pinkpantheroz

That doesn’t sound quite right–she does swing hard! Hope you know what I mean.

glenn

Harleigh–and…

glenn

An unfortunate choice of words? Nah, we get it

pinkpantheroz

Rose! glenn. Popular song here from The Black Sorrows!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–Yup, we should nominate someone who’s never run before because then s/he could say s/he won on her/his first try!

glenn

PPO–yes, definitely an unfortunate choice of words! LOL!

glenn

One BIG problem with a man on any ticket with one of those women they will be smaller in stature compared to those women.

Harleigh

Ad–Duckworth is another one who could swing back at trump, or whoever the repub candidate is.

glenn

What a record Duckworth could show. Her Service and huge sacrifice to shut up the Nascar rednecks. Her Service in the Senate. Her baby! Lots of good ammo there.

pinkpantheroz

I’ve always admired Tammy

Harleigh

Ad–I know; I was just channeling my inner right-winger again. And…trump didn’t even win on his first try; he had run before in 2000, I believe. Dumbass! (Not you…trump).

glenn

Love Tammy’s description of Cadet Bone Spurs.. Palpable hit, that

pinkpantheroz

PPO–well…here I go again… channeling those right-wingers. The baby might work against her, at least in rw circles. She should be home taking care of that baby and having a home-cooked meal on the table at six every night!

glenn

will the DNC have the will to run a woman again so soon?

pinkpantheroz

Tammy has been getting/giving some shit back to the Dolt regime. Amy has been coming out more. Liz or Kirsten would be my choice.

Harleigh

glenn, Yup, I’d forgotten that, and doin’ the laundry and school runs

pinkpantheroz

PPO–I think if trump is still president (ugh…I hate writing those words, and I hope he isn’t), having to run against another woman would hopefully explode his head. Can you imagine if it really was Duckworth? How many coded references would he make to her disability (even though it’s a disability from bravery).

glenn

however, glenn, aren’t the RW in decline right now? Can the Dems take advantage of Trump’s decline into uselessness to gain ground?

pinkpantheroz

Fuckin Tammy all but came back from the dead and went thru all that rehab and is now gonna have a kid….. wow. wow.

Harleigh

Ad–yeah, I saw that; that’s what I was referring to with the dinner comment. We’re all just “snake-headed” or some such thing. It’s never ceased to amaze me that men like that just automatically assume that’s it’s the woman’s “job” to do that. Why shouldn’t I have a home-cooked meal every night, cooked by someone else?

glenn

glenn, I think she would respond to him by saying that, even with a young baby, no legs and a vagina, she’s still do a better job than he!

pinkpantheroz

lol as they used to say ‘fuckin A’. lol

Harleigh

pinkpantheroz

PPO–Oh I agree 100% that the rw is in decline, and that if the Dems did run a woman, that they might be afraid to say some of those things. However, the rightwingers have never been known for their intelligence.

glenn

PPO–yeah, that’s a great response. Women have always been great at multi-tasking, because we’ve had to be!

glenn

they bloody better be, Ad. Now is the time to harness the resistance to trump and get Dems on the same friggin page, for once!

pinkpantheroz

54% of white female voters voted for Dolt45. put one of our women on the ticket would really bring them back.

Harleigh

Ad–Yup, I really don’t care if the candidate is a woman or a man; I just want the strongest candidate.

glenn

Harleigh–I’m so proud to say I am in the 46%! Most of them voted AGAINST Hillary, not FOR trump.

glenn

Sorry guys n gals. gotta … about to say run… but too hot and humid, so I’ll just pad away. Cheers all.

pinkpantheroz

Name a dem man thats as smart as those women…. think carefully…. Hint; it ain’t me.

Harleigh

PPO–do you think the Dems are on the same page re the Dreamers?

glenn

Cheers! PPO, see you next week!

glenn

nite PPO

Harleigh

glenn, I sure hope so! What a font of votes there!

pinkpantheroz

g’nite all

pinkpantheroz

Harleigh–The only one I can think of who is at least their equal is Obama, and he can’t run again.

glenn

Ad–do you anticipate a wild primary?

glenn

Compared to last year women have risen up as a force again and all races etc, organized huge rallys YYUUUGGGEEEE support nationwide.

Harleigh

Ad–a strong woman is exactly what we need after 40-some men, not just trump!

glenn

and seniors to protect medicare and SS

Harleigh

Ad–yup, there are a lot of demographics against trump. If trump isn’t running, though, I hope all those demographics remember all those spineless congress critters and other repubs who enabled trump, and vote against ANY republican candidate.

glenn

Ad–I hope the Dems “go high” in their primary and treat each other with respect. Let them show America that we can disagree, but still be civil to one another.

glenn

except floriduh seniors that think they are voting for whoever will keep them from getting kicked to the curb… literally… and then vote repubs! sad

Harleigh

Ad–oh yeah, any Dem candidate who doesn’t mention how repubs turned their backs on the Constitution, societal norms, and civility doesn’t deserve to win. However, the candidate will have to also stress the differences between repubs and Dems.

glenn

If we have one of those women on the ticket 2020 we need to find anther guy with the stature of Obama…. very tall fucking order folks.

Harleigh

Ad–I hope you’re correct. The other concern I have is this. In order to differentiate from the other candidates, one candidate may go too far leftward, which

glenn

oops….which will turn off voters.

glenn

Harleigh–I agree it’s a tall order, but IMO, Obama “grew” into his stature as president. Don’t get me wrong, I thought he was a great candidate, which is why we all voted for him, but he actually “pivoted” to being presidential while being presidential.

glenn

Ad–not sure yet. Let me think about it for a while.

glenn

yep… and he gave a speech a couple of years earlier and went from nowhere to the top in under 10 minutes. Married, and as accomplished as anyone at that time.

Harleigh

So…maybe there is no “too far left”. I’d like to see Obamacare being fully implemented and funded in every state; I’d like to see sane tax reform; I’d like to see the Dream Act enacted fully; I’d like to see other immigration reform; I’d like to see our VA fully staffed, funded, and well run. Hmmm…maybe there is no “too far left” after all. You made me think and I appreciate it.

glenn

sure he grew…. what a guy… serious. Hope one pops up for 2020.

Harleigh

Harleigh–you’re correct; Obama’s DNC speech put him to the top. Perhaps Kennedy’s SOTU rebuttal will do the same for him. We can at least anticipate that a Kennedy will be well spoken.

glenn

This will be Kennedys best opportunity, same timeframe to run in 2020. It could be his Obama moment.

Harleigh

Ad–and Obama certainly was a good president!

glenn

Ad–see…you’ve even shown me what could be too far left. Seriously, if any Dem candidate wanted to end capitalism, I’d call him/her a loony.

glenn

And…I hope Kennedy drinks plenty of water before his speech!

glenn

They should be able to get a medicare for all passed during 8 years saving mega-billions.

Harleigh

Ad–then we could reverse the scenario that you mentioned earlier. Two terms of Kennedy, with his VP being groomed for being the next Dem president.

glenn

Harleigh–who should get Medicare for all? A Dem president? Hopefully, we’ll have at least a Dem Senate or House by then.

glenn

Kennedy has to make this one the best speech ever and his family is known for it.

Harleigh

Harleigh–not sure it has to be his best speech ever; but it has to be strong. He’s made some very good speeches during the fight going up to the shutdown and since then, I think.

glenn

You go, Ad!

glenn

And the MAN has to SHOW that he is as large a person as his running mate. Another YYYUUUGGGGEEE task.

Harleigh

I still like Ad’s original idea. A woman candidate with a strong man as VP, who could then run for president after Madame President’s second term. Sounds good to me. Again, I think we have to have the best candidate, man or woman, but women are absolutely roaring now, and more than ever before are running for office, so I think it’s a strong possibility.

glenn

Or, we could just have two strong women as president and VP!

glenn

Put him beside any of the 4 women and he better be able to show they got each others backs. If the women is the top of the ticket then he gets 8 years as VP and 8 as pres. fine by me.

Harleigh

Well, gents, with these positive visions running through my head, I’m going to call it a night. Ad, once again, thanks for making me think through my statements. Have a great weekend and week, and I’ll see you next week. Hopefully, I’ll be able to chat with you, too, Harleigh. Take care!

glenn

2 woman ticket?? I would vote for them, any pair of the 4 we’re talking about. Women are organized and pissed.

Harleigh

nite glenn right behind you…. DON’T SHOOT! LOL

Harleigh

Ad–agreed, that may be a “woman too far”, but one can hope. After all, as Ginsberg once said, if we could have an all woman Supreme Court, we could have an all woman exec branch!

glenn

G’nite!

glenn

thx mon! next week.

Harleigh
