See you then!

Congrats to Schiff for sticking it to the GOP

Yes, he really turned the tide against the BS Barr tried to shove on the public.
AdLib an hour ago
Definitely NOT OK!

And wouldn’t yield at the end! Payback time, ReThugs!

Dems will be vindicated in the end, once the full report is forced out and the SDNY and NY state prosecutions of Trump and his crime family are completed.
AdLib an hour ago
Great symbolic phrase, “No, I will not yield.” That’s the steel in the spine Dems need, also in their 2020 nom.
AdLib an hour ago
Can’t wait for Mueller to testify and fill in any gaps Trumpanistas try to paper over
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
They may need a subpoena to have Mueller testify if Barr tries to block him but I think they’ll make it happen.
AdLib an hour ago
And Barr lamely offered to testify but from his nomination hearing, it’s clear that he’ll be evasive and non-responsive so that will likely be a waste of time.
AdLib an hour ago
Dems need to go to judges directly to get them to release all the grand jury evidence whoch should tell the whole story anyway.
AdLib an hour ago
which
AdLib an hour ago
500 pages condensed to 4 ? Thats on the level of the Loaves and Fishes tale!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
4 pages and not one complete quoted sentence in them, just cherry-picked fragments. Clearly, Barr is hiding a lot and I doubt his redacted version will allow much to be revealed about Trump’s criminality.
AdLib an hour ago
This appears so orchestrated. It is a coverup, we will see that when Dems finally get their hands on the evidence or a full version of Mueller’s report…let alone his testimony.
AdLib an hour ago
Of course it is, and any delay allows the WH to trumpet their mantras.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
And the gall of Repubs on the intelligence committee calling for Schiff to resign…after Nunes betrayed his oath of office and conspired with Trump to hide his collusion with Russia. It’s a farce.
AdLib an hour ago
Ad, the trouble is that farce is becoming the default position on everything. Trump needs to go – the sooner the better.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
But the cool thing is, the polls show that the declaration by Barr hasn’t changed minds. Trump’s cult is of course still behind him but a majority, like 57%, still think Trump colluded.
AdLib an hour ago
Hey Murph!
AdLib an hour ago
Hiya Murph!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
If Barr’s propaganda attempt didn’t sway a majority to believe Trump is onnocent, nothing will. Trump is going down in 2020.
AdLib an hour ago
I’d love to be in the court with Alex Jones right now! HE must be melting away.
pinkpantheroz

innocent
AdLib an hour ago
Hello you guys! Just read through your dialogue. Ditto.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
But 2020 will mean Dems have to fix all the crap instigated by the GOP. Again!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Jones is going down, think about all the RWs who have been going down. O’Reilly, Pirro, Carlson, Ailes is dead, when Dems take over government, Repubs will be at half-strength.
AdLib an hour ago
A neighbor. A conservative. A Marine Vet (25 years in uniform, three battle zones) has always been quiet about Trump. Today he told me that he has decided to refer to him from now on as Prez Bone Spur.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Is there no way to banish McConnell? He is the most evil man I have ever known.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
PPO – Unfortunately, just like Obama had to save the US economy, the next Dem Pres will spend a lot of time just undoing the diasasters Trump has caused.
AdLib an hour ago
Murph – Do you think that he represents other Trump voters?
AdLib an hour ago
Murph, it is taking way too long for the realization about PBS to sink in. Hence the level of continuing cult following. Wait till their Medical cover vanishes!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
McConnell needs so badly to be defeated next year and thrown on history’s trash heap as the most destructive and anti-American Majority Leader in US history.
AdLib an hour ago
Ad…he was pissed about how DT referred to McCain. What set this off was the PREZ’s salute of Vietnam War Vets….hard to say.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
PPO – I’m not counting on turning around any Trump cultists, just hoping that the onslaught of criminal and civil cases against him will lower some of their enthusiasm.
AdLib an hour ago
He is just so smug……I cannot recall who this was done to but there was a Majority leader who was so detested that whenever he spoke every member of the opposing party stood and turned their backs on him.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Not to mention the likely recession that’s coming, Trump would lose his one phony but effective talking point.
AdLib an hour ago
Ad, maybe that will have to be sufficient. He will always have deluded fans.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Murph – McCarthy
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Murph – It’s disappointing that the only thing that connects with Trump supporters is when his evil hits close to home but at least some Repubs do reconsider their views on him when he does such disgusting things.
AdLib an hour ago
One of my other neighbors asked me if I had changed my mind about Trump based on the Mueller report. I told him that when I could see it I would reply to him. He point to the Barr summary. I laughed. I don’t trust Barr and the fact that he would be willing to condense a 400 page report to 4 simply reinforces my lack of trust.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Yes, Murph, laughable.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Ad….and even when his evil hits close to home they have to get through their factual miasma that draws them toward the everlasting meme: It was the dems that did this.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
PPO – It will have to be. Trump has around 38% or so of voters as cult followers, maybe up to 7% or so of voters who keep changing their minds about him…but in any case, a minority. Which I think can only be smaller in 2020 than it was in 2016. He’s alienated many who voted for him as an unknown commodity.
AdLib an hour ago
Murph, maybe the fact that Barr could only glean 4 pages of ‘good’ from that sized report speaks volumes in itself?
pinkpantheroz
44 minutes ago
PPO….lest we forget that minority won him the election in 2016……
MurphTheSurf3
44 minutes ago
PPO…that is what I think.
MurphTheSurf3

right Murph – we need to be very careful about the college vote spread.
pinkpantheroz
43 minutes ago
Murph – And as I mentioned before, the fact that Barr had to cherry pick partial sentences, not one complete sentence from Mueller’s report, makes me think there is plenty of bad news for Trump in the full report. And yes, no one has read the full report except Trump people so we don’t know any facts yet.
AdLib 43 minutes ago
Mueller, has, Ad!
pinkpantheroz
42 minutes ago
And Mueller is still going to work every day. I wonder what that might mean?
MurphTheSurf3
42 minutes ago
Murph – Yes, the genuine nature of cultism that Trump followers are under is mostly impenetrable.
AdLib 41 minutes ago
Grand Jury has not yet been disbanded, so ongoing investigation into, no doubt, real Estate fraud, money laundering and the other crimes overshadowed by the Russian Collusion angle.
pinkpantheroz
41 minutes ago
Murph – But we should also not forget that the states that gave Trump enough electoral votes went big time for Dems in 2018.
AdLib 40 minutes ago
I had a guy at a UPS office tell me that he liked Trump because Trump understands people like him, speaks for them and works for them. A clerk at a UPS office……the innocuous looking follower.
MurphTheSurf3

I think between the Grand Juries, the Roger Stone case, the SDNY cases against Don Jr. and Trump and the State of NY cases against the Trump crime family, Trump is not clear of any danger.
AdLib 39 minutes ago
And, yes there is the grand jury…..good point PPO
