Vox Populi – 10-12-2018

see u soon

pinkpantheroz

Interesting evening yesterday. Went to a Soiree in Dublin (via Skype) about Dublin’s long gone Theatre Royal, and had a selfie taken from there!

pinkpantheroz

No, a lady who was there took one with me on a laptop screen. I’ve retweete what she did

pinkpantheroz

The nostalgia! Memories flooded back. Wish I knew how to record. It would have been a treasure..

pinkpantheroz

Ad, the dim fucker just doesn’t get it. He has no clue how to be a Prez. Bluff, Bluster and Con ire his tools of trade. Can’y put a proper sentence of more than 5 words together.

pinkpantheroz

…. and I can’t spell!

pinkpantheroz

Yes, the audience were mostly my age and would have been to the Royal for the Pantomimes each Christmas

pinkpantheroz

Evenin’ gents. PPO, your skype experience sounds way cool!

glenn

Hi, glenn, yes very fabulous! a great talk and sing along about the famous Theatre Royal in Dublin, demolished in the 60s. a 4,000 seater! Huge!

pinkpantheroz

I’m fine, Ad. A little cool. Had to put on a sweatshirt tonight; temp in the 50’s.

glenn

Well, what’s the latest insanity – Ye will be the new UN Ambassador?

pinkpantheroz

PPO–did you sing along by skype? It’s so nice to be able to use technology for such fun things.

glenn

Ad–haha! Bite your tongue!

glenn

glenn, we sure did. Fergie got into the old Batchelor’s song – ‘I Believe” We also did Dad’s signature tune, Dublin can be Heaven.

pinkpantheroz

PPO–Don’t you think the lying bully is putting out a trial balloon for Ivanka to be nominated? After all, she has so much experience.

glenn

PPO–Aww, that brings tears to my eyes.

glenn

Ad–who is Ye-eck?

glenn

I hear Ye will be renaming the WH, the ‘Cuckoo’s Nest” Very Apt.!

pinkpantheroz

glenn, Kan YE’s new name! the -eck is Ads!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–those choices are no more crazy than anything else this administration has done.

glenn

Oh, sorry, I missed the unveiling of the new nickname. Is it pronounced “yee” or “yay”?

glenn

Ad–exactly. The “good” news is that journalist wasn’t a citizen, so NBD.

glenn

Ad–LOL! on the pronounciation!

glenn

the bad news, glenn is he was a permanent resident, which in normal times should mean something, but….

pinkpantheroz

Ad–plus, we can’t let a little thing like assassination (especially of a journalist) stand in the way of money.

glenn

I pronounce it, g, like yeh, as in Ye eejit!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–the bad news is that the lying bully isn’t doing anything about it. What a heartless son of a bitch he is! There is nothing normal about him!

glenn

Agree, Ad, he won’t do a thing. Useless POS.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–it isn’t an impeachable offense because IOIYAR. Only Dem presidents get impeached, dontcha know?

glenn

Let’s all make sure to keep the Blue wave peaking all the way

pinkpantheroz

PPO–I hope the repubs are buried in that wave!

glenn

Ad, remember, only if there is a viable Dem candidate opposing him. Avennati is now a non starter with his financial woes.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–yes, the lying bully has given license to kill journalists, but again, NBD, according to repubs. Do you really think he’ll be impeached?

glenn

Silver better have this one right!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–If the Dem party is dumb enough to nominate Avennati, we almost deserve to lose. Although he’s on “our side”, he’s almost as bad a choice as the lying bully.

glenn

Ad–okay, here comes my cynicism again. What were the odds for HRC in 2016?

glenn

glenn, zero for me. She’s fab, but too toxic right now. Buyers remorse won’t change that, IMO

pinkpantheroz

Want to put odds on BETo?

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I hope we don’t get into that game–anyone but trump. I want a wonderful candidate, like O’Rourke or Adam Schiff, not a mediocre one who will just barely beat the lying bully.

glenn

Glenn, agree. Must be rock solid, 100% backed candidate.

pinkpantheroz

PPO–I think you misunderstood what I asked Ad. I do NOT want to see HRC run ever again. When Ad said chances of Dems winning is 80%, I was just being sarcastic, and asking what HRC’s chances were in 2016, and she still lost.

glenn

Oh, sorry, glenn. I see what you mean now

pinkpantheroz

Ad–Hope you’re right with the impeachment process, but once again, I hate to bring up a Clinton, but remember what happened when Clinton was impeached. He won re-election by a huge margin. If the lying bully’s cultists think they’re being “picked on”, they’ll come out in droves, don’t you think?

glenn

PPO–No problem; I don’t always explain myself too well.

glenn

Ad–okay, but if it’s all the same to you, I’ll hold onto my cynicism until the election is over. Especially with all the voter suppression the repubs are using this election.

glenn

Please let it happen, Ad. More GOP criminality will only complete the destruction of the USA as any kind of moral force.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–there’s good news and bad news about Beto winning. He’s already said that if he wins, he will stay in his Senate seat for his entire term, which will be during the 2020 election. However, if he loses, he’ll be free to run, and have lots of momentum, I think.

glenn

Ad–GA also has a corrupt system. The person who oversees the voter rolls in GA is the same person who is running for governor. How’s that for securing your win?

glenn

glenn, here’s a thought. What if the GOP throw Cruz under the bus to elect Beto, so he doesn’t represent a threat in 2020?

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I hope you’re correct about the anti-trump vote.

glenn

PPO–that’s an evil thought, but I wouldn’t put it past the repubs.

glenn

Ad–I understand what you’re saying about the differences between the two impeachments, but you know as well as I, that those differences never stopped the lying bully from playing victim.

glenn

Ad–the lawsuits have already begun, although I believe Kemp (the gubernatorial candidate) will drag his feet until the election is over. He is saying that the voters he has put “on hold” will be able to vote with provisional ballots, so he’ll come up with a reason that their ballots don’t count. There’s no telling how long he’ll drag it out.

glenn

Ad–true. Didn’t look at it that way. It’s a win-win when you change the perspective just a tad.

glenn

Ad–Dems are picking up seats, how? In what elections?

glenn

Here’s hoping the majority of the upsets are for Dems. As you say, we need every GOTV push to overcome the imbalances of the gerrymander and stacking.

pinkpantheroz

How was Wall Street today?

pinkpantheroz

Didn’t someone once tweet that if the Market crashed 100+ in 2 days, the Prez should be impeached? Let me see…..

pinkpantheroz

1000

pinkpantheroz

Ad–You know, it’s funny you said that about voters giving the lying bully a chance. Don’t remember where I read it, but that’s just what someone said about Beto. That they’ve had cruz for umpteen years now, so why not give Beto a chance? And, of course, there’s the famous rolling billboard with the lying bully’s tweet proclaiming that cruz has done nothing for TX, so there’s that.

glenn

PPO–Wall Street was up today after the “correction” of the last two days.

glenn

Damn!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–Yup, that tweet was shared all over social media.

glenn

PPO–It wasn’t up much, only about 30-40 points, I think, but at least it stopped hemorhaging.

glenn

OK. But when will the Cult45’ers wake to 20K Ford jobs gone, No new coal/steel jobs , etc ?

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I so hope you’re correct again. Abrams is playing a smart game, with the lawsuits. They’re not coming from her campaign, (I don’t think). The one in court right now is from the ACLU. Let’s Kemp’s “exact match” fails again.

glenn

PPO–The cultists will never admit that those things are due to the lying bully. It will all be the Dem’s fault, even though the repubs control all branches of government.

glenn

sigh

pinkpantheroz

oops–let’s hope Kemp’s….

glenn

Ad–I want to see a blue tsunami so badly! Let’s hope all those courts the repubs have stacked will follow the law.

glenn

Ad–Do you think Dems will be able to get anything accomplished with only one branch? IOW, with a “divided” government, how much do you think Dems can get accomplished legislatively? Not talking about impeachment, just legislation.

glenn

good question, glenn. I’d like to know that as well

pinkpantheroz

Ad–once again, it’s looking good. Just hope it turns out better this time. I’m hoping young people and women will turn the tide, so to speak.

glenn

Can a Dem house block effectively any more insanities from the WH?

pinkpantheroz

Leonard Pitts had an interesting column the other day wherein he said that the majority of Americans agree with progressive programs almost across the board, but we keep losing.

glenn

Dems need to push hard on Medical, infrastructure and employment issues

pinkpantheroz

Here are the stats: Abortion? Sixty-four percent of Americans support Roe v. Wade. Guns? Sixty-seven percent want stricter laws. Taxes? Sixty-one percent say the rich need to pay more. Health care? Fifty-six percent want government to ensure coverage to all Americans. But it’s not just opinion polls. It’s also presidential polls. Republicans have won the popular vote only once since 1992.

glenn

But..The question is: What are the rest of us willing to do in response? Are we willing to play the long game as conservatives have? Are we willing to play with the ruthlessness and calculation they’ve shown? Are we willing to organize, to meet at the intersection of our manifold causes, concerns and lives? November 6 will give us the beginnings of an answer. Until then, one can only hope. Progressives are the larger of the two main ideologies in American politics. Yet they were just forced to watch in impotence as conservatives reshaped the top court by an act of sheer political thuggery. The lesson should be clear. It’s great to have size on your side. But it’s how you use it that counts.

glenn

Ad–As I have said before, I am encouraged by the number of prominent republicans who have denounced the party and even urged people to vote Dem. I just hope it makes a difference.

glenn

Hopefully you’ll be right, glenn. .well, Time for me to depart. It is summertime here now so mid afternoon and the groceries won’t deliver themselves! Cheerio

pinkpantheroz

Ad–Do you think Dems will actually be able to force compromise? I have my doubts about that. I am hopeful, though, that Dems will at least get more of their ideas out in front of the public, because it seems that our corporate-owned media just pushes conservative’s thoughts.

glenn

G’night, PPO. See ya next week!

glenn

Ad– I definitely agree that it is a 2-step process, and that Dems have to be more focused. We need to win more governorships too.

glenn

Ad–that’s also what I’d like to see. Investigations to bring to light all of the lying bully’s corruption and illegalities.

glenn

From your computer to the voters’ ballots, Ad! Or something like that!

glenn

Oh, I hope Kavanaugh is not over! Have you been reading about his and his father’s part(s) in the baby powder lawsuits, and the holding back of information? One article I read likened the withholding of info on K’s father, and maybe even K’s rulings on it, as akin to that of the tobacco companies holding back info about how nicotine is so harmful.

glenn

Uh-oh! Well, go hunker down. I’ll keep hoping; and see you next week!

glenn

You should read up on it. It’s very interesting.
