Hey Ad–I won’t be able to make VOX tonight; personal matters. I’ll explain next week, but I just can’t do VOX tonight. I’ll read about all of your posts tomorrow.

OK! Good news this week Fergie’s 7th Anniversary Cancer checkup all clear! Can’t fathom it was that long ago

Ole Adolph would have considered her “inferior.”

Preferably blonde and blue eyed?
Fuzzy Dunlop

Did you ever imagine that we’d see such blatant racism broadcast daily on a major cable station?
AdLib7 days ago
Is she a bottle blonde? For the Aryan followers?
pinkpantheroz

Pro-Nazism? On basic cable?
AdLib7 days ago
I’ve stated a hashtag #ShutTheFoxUp

I like it P!

#MeToo!

PPO, I wouldn’t believe anything you see on Fox News, especially hair colors.
AdLib7 days ago
Alex Jones is snivelling. Good!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
FD – I just threw up in my mouth. Some people I don’t want to imagine naked.
AdLib7 days ago
My apologies!
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
It could have been worse…much worse!
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
don’t know how, FD!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
We have the Nazis on the run right now, the election can’t come soon enough.
AdLib7 days ago
I want Mueller to drop the big one, a week before the mid-terms. Poetic justice and all!
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
Fox News has the most sexual abusers and the most sexually unappealing people. I guess there’s a connection.
AdLib7 days ago
You have to wonder how much longer it will be before he opens fire with the main batteries.
pinkpantheroz

Not much longer, I suspect, P.

FD – I saw a cartoon that said it all, Mueller was frustrated at Trump, “Can you stop breaking the law so I can wrap this up?!”
AdLib7 days ago
Sleaze is attracted to artifice!
Fuzzy Dunlop

LOL!
Fuzzy Dunlop

good one!
pinkpantheroz

Thanks P.
Fuzzy Dunlop

Oh, you meant ad!
Fuzzy Dunlop

Do we like Avenatti as a candidate, or is he just showboating right now?
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
FD Both!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
I would hope that Mueller at least drops some huge indictments by next month. But I think he’ll hold off on the biggest, like Trump and family, until Dems take back the House in Nov.
AdLib7 days ago
I don’t want him for a candidate. He’s got a touch of the media whore in him. I want the opposite.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
FD, I’m getting that impression. But I don’t want the Media to start stoking rumors
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Good luck, P. That’s their bread and butter.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
Hey, see where Wikileaks have been served…. by Twitter!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Why has Twitter yet to banish Alex Jones?
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
good question. @fred or whoever alleges they aren’t breaking Twitter T&C Can’t believe that.
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Well, come to think of it, they haven’t banned Trump yet either. I would think he violates their policy all the time.

Twitter is making too much money off of Trump, Jones and the rest of the Nazis. They whip up traffic.
AdLib7 days ago
Obviously. Don’t kill the Orange Goose
pinkpantheroz

Avenatti is an opportunist. It works for us with Stormy but would be Trump II as a President.how about someone qualified to run against this human waste currently in the WH?
AdLib7 days ago
Mayhem at Trump Tower! The guy Cohen told to get out during the fire has been found dead – ‘overdose’ Hmmmmmm…
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Exactly! Twitter is the official press secretary of Trump.
AdLib7 days ago
Huh?
AdLib7 days ago
Ad, yes, it appears Twitter, by WH imprimatur is an official system of communication of legal stuff.
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Is Fox accusing Hillary of the overdose?
AdLib7 days ago
Nah, I think Vlad, but Fox says Obama!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO – Yep, the CEO of Twitter, Jack Ass, is blathering all kinds of BS to keep Jones and Trump on. Capitalism is willingly destroying our democracy now.
AdLib7 days ago
It has, Ad, IMO since Citizens United.
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Vlad’s getting really pissed about more sanctions coming his way.
AdLib7 days ago
PPO, that has sure accelerated the demise of democracy and it’s all happening in plain sight, as the wealthy buy tax cuts and raping the environment.
AdLib7 days ago
ASBESTOS, Fer Cryin’ out loud! Lead Paint next>
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Meanwhile, the paltry “tax cut” 99% of people think they might have gotten is dwarfed by the inflation Trump’s wild spending and tariffs have caused. And the next recession should be coming soon and it will be hard to climb out of.
AdLib7 days ago
Wait till gas skyrockets
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Cigarettes will become mandatory in public school.
AdLib7 days ago
Ad, is the Real estate market in the Us close to where it was before the bubble burst?
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Gas, food, cars, everything inflation is spiking now. All because of Trump. Notice how he stopped talking about the stock market this year? Soon he will stop talking about quarterly numbers.
AdLib7 days ago
It is, I think it may be even a bigger bubble than when it crashed last time. And as interest rates continue to rise, look out!
AdLib7 days ago
All Trump will have when the economy falls is racial hatred. He could become even more dangerous then.
AdLib7 days ago
He may also mute immigration to a certain extent. HArvest season is near, and labor is scarce. Mind you, all the workers who used to do soy, can now redistribute to other crops, those that China hasn’t placed tariffs on.
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
I don’t think he has much more than that now, ad.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
He’s stuck it to Obama about as much as he can, and that was a big motivator for him.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
Farmers will begin losing their farms and those who don’t will lose a fortune in unpicked crops. Disaster is on its way but don’t expect his lemmings to do anything other than rush off the cliff after him.
AdLib7 days ago
The collateral damage from tariffs in the secondary support industries is biting hard on towns all over the country. Oh, btw, does anyone, including the manufacturers, know wher the mills are firing up again?
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
wish Murph were here, he knows all this stuff
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
FD – True but racial hatred is a strong sentiment to wield. His cult members will follow his orders. But we outnumber them in a big way.
AdLib7 days ago
I think Trump will break down more and more under the strain of his own knowledge of his approaching doom. Kinda like the main character in Dostoyevski’s Crime and Punishment.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
A very big way. Trump could undoubtedly incite violence, but it would be sporratic and put down in short order.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
PPO – Exactly, for the few jobs Steel adds, many times that number will be lost in manufacturing and secondary industries. The damage is happening now but isn’t really being covered yet.
AdLib7 days ago
It sure needs to be.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
FD – Great comparison! I agree, as the Mueller noose tightens and the economic disaster he’s caused becomes clear, I think he will truly go mad and become very dangerous.
AdLib7 days ago
Ad, the congressmen for those districts must be very, very scared right now. I know there will always be the Trump faithfull (oxymoron alert!), but I’m sure many are now rueing the day they ever heard of Trump
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
They are running scared, P, as they well should be.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
FD – Cities and states won’t allow Trump cultists to cause havoc, much as he may want the militias out there. The majority won’t allow it.
AdLib7 days ago
The cracks are already showing.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
FD, but Dems have to stop infighting! Also, someone please make the Greens go away. 3-party fights only help the GOP.
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
I agree Ad. War is bad for business, on both sides.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
I hear ya P. It’s so utterly foolish.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
I truly believe that most Trumpies are all talk anyway, like the cryin Nazi from Charlottesville!
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
PPO -Yep, Repub pols are going through Stockholm Syndrome, they have been kidnapped by a madman but the difference is, they could stop them but they’re too craven. They don’t want to be voted out, they’d rather sit by and watch America fall apart.
AdLib7 days ago
It’s hard to imagine a bigger moral failure.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
Ad, True, and their paws are too deep in the NRA/Russian trough. But why are we few the only ones who see this in such clarity?
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO – Yes, I am tired of the Dems who can’t stop fighting over an election that was nearly 2 years ago. It’s over, there’s a real enemy now to fight against together.
AdLib7 days ago
True, ad. and can someone, anyone, please put a muzzle on Bernie?
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
I have noticed less and less of it on Salon. it was pretty bad for a while, and not too long ago. I think Tryump is finally showing a lot of never hillary people that yes, there are far worse things than establishment dems.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
FD – Right with you on that, these Trumpies are cowards. There’s almost a new video on Twitter every week showing a Nazi-type getting clocked by a black guy he’s harassing. They would get creamed if they tried to “fight” the majority for white purity.
AdLib7 days ago
PPO – Plenty of people see the corruption and evil going on. Watch in Nov.
AdLib7 days ago
They surely would. It’s kind of funny in a way, because they’ve been brainwashed to think we are a bunch of snowflakes. It’s always a bad mistake to grossly underestimate an enemy’s strength and courage.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
PPO – it’s got to be put to sleep by both sides, people shouldn’t be calling out Hillary or Bernie, we need to keep our eyes on the Trump disaster.
AdLib7 days ago
Hey Murph!
AdLib7 days ago
What’s up, Murph?
Fuzzy Dunlop

Greetings Ad…big week in Mo….Right to Work took it on the chin…out for the count….

I love the (seriously made) hilarious videos of the ‘well ordered militias’ stomping drunkenly around wooded clearings and doing military impersonations. One confrontation with a real Military unit would have them running back to Momma.
pinkpantheroz

Howdy Fuzzy D!

PPO….greetings to all y’all in the really deep south.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Hiya Murph!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
FD – I hope so. Being a purist is being intolerant and that’s not what a true Progressive is. And as you say, there’s a bigger enemy that needs our attention right now.
AdLib7 days ago
Murph, I’ve been hearing that unions are starting to gain back some ground.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
Murph – That was a stunning victory for unions!
AdLib7 days ago
ad, democracy is messy, and difficult. There is simply no room for purist ideology in a blood sport like politics. It’s very naive to think otherwise.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
FD……given that the law was overturned by 63 percent of the electorate and that the state is only 15 percent unionized, it can be demonstrated that many are now looking at the value added by unions in the workplace.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
bout time, eh Murph?
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
PPO – As I like to say, let one of those hick militias see a helicopter gun shop zooming at them, they’d scatter like the cockroaches they are.
AdLib7 days ago
FD..absolutely so.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
FD – Purists always look like ignorant children in history books.
AdLib7 days ago
Hell ad, they wouldn’t even see it. They wouldn’t know what hit them.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
Ad, a couple of flash bangs and they’d rush to Walmart for Toilet paper!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
True, ad.
Fuzzy Dunlop
7 days ago
Murph – If ever the working class needed unions, it’s now.
AdLib7 days ago
LOL P!
Fuzzy Dunlop

Well folks, gotta go. Keep up the good fight!

There is a militia group in my “neighborhood” which is the butt of many jokes by the vets who live here.

Night, FD!
pinkpantheroz

FD…so long…sorry to have gotten here so late.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
But when Trump is voted out in 2020, I think he might call on them to protect him from having to leave.
AdLib7 days ago
Nite FD!
AdLib7 days ago
Murph, maybe the Vets could have a bit of fun by suggesting joint ‘exercises’ with them, then show ’em what REAL soldiers can do.
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Murph – Vets would wipe the floor with those imposters.
AdLib7 days ago
Hate to say it but I have an early flight tomorrow and have to get to bed. Please don’t feel you have to stop because of that, Vox will stay up.
AdLib7 days ago
Remember Art Buchwald’s essay about Nixon calling out the national guard to protect the WH/Exec Branch and no one showed because no one believed him.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Nah, I’ll head off as well, sorry Murph. See you all next week
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
ad….have a good trip…best to you.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
PPO Happy to say good night at well. Nite all.
MurphTheSurf3

Heh! I could imagine Trump doing it, a dozen militia loons showing up, then tens of thousands of protesters encircling them before they scattered.
As a great way to share this experience, PlanetPOV is hosting a live chat (live typed comments) tonight to discuss the night's results as they come in along with everything else this election will bring and what folks think it will mean for the future.
