Hey PPO!

AdLib 4 hours ago

So the Trump GOP is going for the pedophile, neo-Nazi, prro-Russian vote in 2020.

TRUMP: “But what children has he raped lately?”

AdLib 4 hours ago

No doubt they’re all Jussie 24/7.

Hey Harleigh!

Kanye/Jussie 2020!

Hey glenn!

AdLib 3 hours ago

Doing well, glenn. Here in LA, we have a frost warning for tomorrow.

AdLib 3 hours ago

“Only the best people”. Can you imagine who he’s comparing pedophiles, racists and thieves to?

AdLib 3 hours ago

Good luck with the search, Harleigh.

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – But doesn’t it prove there’s no “global warming” when LA freezes?

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – We’ve had plenty of rain ourselves but thanks! My daughter’s had 6 games rained out already this season.

AdLib 3 hours ago

Harleigh – The frost warning says to make sure you bring pets in…meanwhile, there are homelsss people out there too.

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – Did you see that the airhead billionaire’s wife Trump nominated for UN Ambassador said she believes “both sides of the science” on Climate Change? There’s only one side of science!

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO: “The best pedophiles”…maybe they should rename the GOP, “Gang of Pedophiles”.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Winter has been rainier out here but then we go through long periods of the rest of the year without rain. That doesn’t help solve a drought.

AdLib 3 hours ago

Harleigh – I don’t know how it works but I sure hope they get the homeless off the streets.

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – Actually, Californians voted for money in 2018 to build or pay for tens of thousands of apartments and housing for the homeless. It was the National Weather Service that gave the warning to bring pets in.

AdLib 3 hours ago

Libbin’ away FD! How about you?

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – Yes, the snowpack helps but a lot of that rainwater just flows out to the ocean because the land is too saturated to retain it.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Did you know it’s illegal in some states abd countries to collect rainwater? I don’t know if it’s legal here but I should get a rain barrel anyway!

AdLib 3 hours ago

Harleigh, you know what that’s all about? Trump would be happy to go to war against Venezuela, hoping that could change the dynamics of his unpopularity. Wag the Dog.

AdLib 3 hours ago

FD – The RW has so few events in the Trump Era to sneer about, of course they’d dial up the Jussie thing to 11 for a week. Meanwhile, when Mueller’s report comes out? Don’t expect too much sneering from them then.

AdLib 3 hours ago

Harleigh – Don’t put that all out publicly, we need to keep some of our evil magic meddling secret from Repubs!

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Not sure why it’s ilegal in some states but in Bolivia, it was made illegal to prevent people from not buying water (and caused a revoltt there).

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – Yes, don’t eat yellow snow or drink rainwater that comes from the roof!

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Jussie’s fraud was a threat to no one. The Coast Guard maniac was intent on murdering members of our press and government. Yet Repubs are so polarized, all they decide to see is what they think hurts “the libs”.

AdLib 3 hours ago

I thought “pink slime” was Sarah Huckabee’s Secret Service name.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Then in the US and Australia, it’s probably for public health issues. But if Cali could have large scale rainwater trapping programs, we could conserve a lot of water to prevent droughts when we have so much in a short period of time.

AdLib 3 hours ago

FD – That is straight up unconstitutional, the federal government limiting free speech and a constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade. But if it went to the SCOTUS, who knows if the RW loons there would support it?

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Because Jussie was their baseball bat to smack away all the terrible Trump-related news. They’ll probably keep trying to obsess on it next week but events like the Cohen testimony will dominate.

AdLib 3 hours ago

FD – I should write a bill, “The Rainwater Preservation and Forest Raking Act”.

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – That’s very smart. I’m not aware if there are or aren’t some rainwater preservation programs for firefighting or irrigation but they’re not widespread. If it was, here and in other drought-prone states, it could be a great hedge against droughts and Climate Change effects.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – I was actually looking into how a national rainwater program could work. Helping pump water from dams and lakes in states that flood for use in drought areas. And preserving rainwater to avert water shortages during droughts.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – I just don’t think Trump cares at all what is or isn’t constitutional, he just wants to order what he wants done.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Just the mention of Collins makes me want to see her sagging face after losing in 2020.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Heh! The CRAP Act, I thought that’s what the Trump era is being called. Just before The Last Act when Trump gets kicked out of the WH in 2021 and is imprisoned and broke.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – I think the judge was being bated by Stone to give him grounds to have her thrown off the case for not being impartial, he’d already called for her to recuse. She went easy on him to destroy his ploy, now she can crush him and he’ll have no grounds.

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – We don’t have a lot of dams, I can’t remember when the last one was built. Population and farming has far outstripped water storage here in CA.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Thanks, I think it could avert billions in weather damage if water could be moved around the country from flood areas to drought areas, both areas would have damage mitigated.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Yep, agree with you, Trump just conducts himself like a dictator and with the Repubs bowing to his will, he has gotten away with destroying our democracy…until the Dem House took over.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – I understand but Stone isn’t a moron, he was purposely trying to get the judge to act in outrage because he uses that to undermine people. That’s what his whole career has been built on, he was trying to bait her then with Trump and the RW media hammering her, she might give in…at least that was what Stone was hoping. I don’t think Stone can behave himself though so he’ll end up in prison anyway.

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – I don’t know, WA gets a massive amount of rain though the eastern part of the state can get dry. I would just like to see more big ideas on infrastructure that make big strides in conservation and battling Climate Change. Reducing rain damage from hurricanes by siphoning water from dams and rivers so they don’t overflow while piping that water to drought areas would reduce damage in both types of places.

AdLib 3 hours ago

FD – So is oiil and natural gass but we have pipelines for them. And if a water pipeline leaks, it doesn’t do damage like oil would.\

AdLib 3 hours ago

glen – We can call it The Dam Borders!

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – When you look at the Repubs as snakes that only care about themselves, it makes sense how they can sacrifice our Constitution, democracy, safety, etc., as long as they think it will help them keep their seats, make more money and stay in power. They have no values, none.

AdLib 3 hours ago

FD – I like Schiff too but he has the demeanor that fits well where he is. He’s very smart but wouldn’t compete well perhaps against the more charismatic candidates.

AdLib 3 hours ago

glenn – Yep, I would love to see Stone imprisoned like Manafort was but I think the judge was smartly strategic. I want her to stay in charge of that case because now, she has to really despise Stone as she should. She won’t give him any breaks in the trial which will be far worse for him. I am wondering too if there could be state charges against Stone in case Trump pardons him.

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – Yes, the south is getting flooded most years, we should accept that’s the new normal and build infrastructure to lessen the damage.

AdLib 3 hours ago

FD – You capsulized it well, like an underground freeway system for water to flow from where it can flood to where it’s needed. And by using the non-potable water for farms and such, it frees up potable water that they would otherwise use so those reserves increase.

AdLib 3 hours ago

PPO – Consider that Trump knows that the only thing eeping him out of prison is being in the WH. He will fight in the 2020 with all the ugliest, most criminal behavior he can because for him, it will be a matter of survival. What he doesn’t see is that for the majority of Americans, we see it as a matter of survival too and will be fighting our hardest to get rid of him.

AdLib 3 hours ago

No news from Murph, had hoped he’d be here tonight!

AdLib 2 hours ago

See you next week, PPO!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Right!
