Hey TW! AdLib an hour ago
Hey Ad twilson117 an hour ago
I guess we’re going to have to talk about swollen Minajs tonight. AdLib an hour ago
Looks like we’re early or right on time. twilson117 an hour ago
On time indeed! AdLib an hour ago
Just wraped up a conversation with my buddy in NM twilson117 an hour ago
Just to confirm, my comments show on the right side and are in a white bubble. AdLib an hour ago
What did he have to say? AdLib an hour ago
Not much just catching up on a number of things mostly how folks are not following mask rules twilson117 an hour ago
We also discuss how the press is falling into their normal traps around Biden the the entire Afghan situation. twilson117 an hour ago
The numbers are good in MA, people good at masking there? Here in LA, people are wearing masks and CA is the only state so far to decline from the top emergency level of Covid spread. AdLib an hour ago
Yes folks are following the protcol around masking. There are some places where it’s ok to not have mask on as the employees are vaccinated. twilson117 an hour ago
Hi Ad, TW pinkpantheroz an hour ago
Hey PPO how goes it. I see the French are made at you and the US for the Sub deal. twilson117 an hour ago
You and I are on the same page on the media, I used to watch cable news daily, I have shut it off now and get my news from newspaper sites on the web but I don’t regularly go to any one in particular. NYT and WAPO have also been propagandizing against Biden on Afghanistan too. AdLib an hour ago
Hey PPO! How are you and Fergie doing? AdLib an hour ago
PPO – I’m confused too about France being so pissed off at cooperation with Australia and UK on subs. Do you know why that is? AdLib an hour ago
Yes the press both media and newspapers seem to have it out for him. twilson117 an hour ago
Ah, you have to understand WhatsHisName, our Pry Minister, ScottyFromAnnouncements. This is only an announcement. We will get our first Nuke in 2040, if ever! Lots of billions in consultancy to his pals. . They are supposed to be nuclear powered, not armed. Still lots of fodder for us to distract from rotten Covid reaction . pinkpantheroz an hour ago
TW – As some have written about it, many egotists in journalism were happy to run with attacks on Biden to “prove” how objective they are after all the condemnations of Trump. But it was BS, they instead shamed themselves as playing a game instead of reporting. AdLib an hour ago
Aust and France had a 90 Billion sub deal, which Aust is now cancelling. France is rightly pissed off. pinkpantheroz an hour ago
So PPO the French are upset at losing contracts then twilson117 an hour ago
Yep! pinkpantheroz an hour ago
Ad I agree. But Uncle Joe can take it. twilson117 an hour ago
PPO – OHHH! Now that makes perfect sense. The French are losing a deal that’s going to the U.S. so they howled and took all their toys and ambassadors home with them. AdLib an hour ago
PPO so made they recalled their Ambassdor, now that’s shades of DeGualle if I ever saw it. twilson117 an hour ago
TW – Biden appears to be right back in the polls where he was before Afghanistan. And the big win against the recall out here in CA affirms that the public has not been moved to turn against Biden and Dems. AdLib an hour ago
Ad ah yes the recall vote. Seems Mr. I didn’t pull a gun Elder got his ass kicked rather soundly. twilson117 an hour ago
Ad, TW, I get the impression that Joe is beginning to treat the media with the level of distain that they thoroughly deserve. The Psakibpmbs fly daily and they don’t know how to handlt them. Good. Keep them ‘honest’ . pinkpantheroz an hour ago
PPO how are they doing with the vaccinte roll out. twilson117 an hour ago
Sorry vaccine roll out twilson117 an hour ago
And how about Clarence Thomas and Barrett whining that the public has turned against the SCOTUS and claiming that they haven’t been partisan…when both have been rightly seen by a majority of Americans that way. They are now afraid of an enlarged SCOTUS and they should be. AdLib an hour ago
TW it still amazes me that any person of Color would be part of the Republican party, let alone vote for it. pinkpantheroz an hour ago
Ad I saw the article but didn’t read it yet. twilson117 an hour ago
PPO many where that was pre-civil rights passage though. twilson117 an hour ago
TW – Elder who ran as Trump 2.0 lost bigger than Trump did. When you factor in that nearly half of voters voted no and didn’t vote for a replacement, I didn’t, Elder got maybe 22% of a small vote total. He said he’s going to run again for something, he will get crushed if he does and assure a Dem victory. AdLib an hour ago
I see Ms. Jenner got a dribble only. pinkpantheroz an hour ago
Ad the only thing Elder should be running for is his lunch. twilson117 an hour ago
PPO a dribble, more like a droplet. twilson117 an hour ago
PPO – The sad thing is, Trump literally branded the media as “enemies of the people”. They were verbally and physically attacked by his followers, denied press conferences for his last year in office and otherwise demeaned by his press secretaries. Biden comes in and respects them as does his Press Secretary and they turn on him. I know the viewership for news media tv and sites has gone way down since a sane person took over the WH, they are loyal only to their own egos and the money they bring in. AdLib an hour ago
TW, the vaccines are starting to arrive. Moderna touched down yesaterday, 7 months after Ireland got theirs! Still fighting with major lockdowns, but starting to ease a few of the more draconian ones. We can travel 6 miles now instead of 3! pinkpantheroz an hour ago
PPO that sounds like good news. twilson117 an hour ago
Ad, the ‘enemies of the people are what got the fucker elected and supported in the first place. pinkpantheroz an hour ago
PPO – But opportunists are all over, the people who get to be novelty Repubs by being gay, PoC, etc. do it to promote themselves and squeeze money out of bigots who love to say, “I can’t be racist, I like Larry Elder and his attacks on PoC.” AdLib an hour ago
Ooh, that’s clever, Ad. RINOs for the dosh.! pinkpantheroz an hour ago
PPO – Jenner loved all the attention but all it really did was show she’s awful. AdLib an hour ago
Ad That’s and interesting take. twilson117 an hour ago
Ad maybe it’s me but I always thought you needed to have a level of understanding of civics you know how the government runs to be an effecitve candidate. twilson117 an hour ago
Ad, all the transgender crap may change how she looks, but she’s still a dick! pinkpantheroz an hour ago
MSM nuts like Kasie Hunt and Chris Cillizza claimed that Newsom winning was bad for Dems and made Newsom look bad while making Elder a star. Attention hungry hacks. Elder has ZERO political career in CA in statewide elections, none. Yes, he could run as a rep from a red district but that won’t ever lead anywhere in CA for him. AdLib an hour ago
Ad seems to me she took the money and just spent it on everything but her campaign. twilson117 an hour ago
Ad, Elder will soon be forgotten, and Newsom will move forward. I put little stock in what Hunt and Cillizza have to say around the matter. twilson117 44 minutes ago
PPO – No kidding, many in the media are like the anti-vaxxers killing themselves. The media turned themselves into targets of hate by helping to elect Trump…who wanted to change the libel rules to criminalize journalism. And they helped him because it was good for readership and viewership. Lunatics all. AdLib 44 minutes ago
Are anyone’s dangly bits swelling as we speak? pinkpantheroz 42 minutes ago
PPO ?? twilson117 41 minutes ago
TW – So true and perhaps that’s another reason our government is so corrupted. These Repubs including Govs seem to have no civics education, don’t seem to know how government or The Constitution works. It’s all about pandering to your base. Look at Kristi Noem in SD. She wailed about masks and vaccines as taking away freedoms but today announced she will demand prayer back in school. They are so corrupt and frankly, evil. AdLib 41 minutes ago
Like Nicky’s cousins friend? pinkpantheroz 41 minutes ago
PPO Got ya.
twilson117 40 minutes ago
Ad Josh Hawley is a prime example. twilson117 39 minutes ago
Ad everyone knows their is prayer in the classroom. All the kids start praying when the teacher says pop quiz. twilson117 38 minutes ago
PPO – I look at Jenner’s being transgender as being a novelty for the GOP, just as gays and PoC are. They know they are mostly white older men (but lots of white rural women too) and being called racists and homophobes justifiably, gives them cover to have a Jenner or an Elder as a Repub. So it is a gimmick in their eyes as a party. AdLib 38 minutes ago
TW, when, oh when will Justice descend like a ton of bricks on these jokers? Surely there is ample stuff there to start now, get them suspended, indicted, impeached, arrested, whatever. the delays are only helping th common memory to fade. pinkpantheroz 38 minutes ago
TW – Jenner was taken advantage of and robbed by Brad Parscale, he took most of her money and other Repub operativesd looked at her like a rube and robbed her. She was and is an idiot, they saw her coming. AdLib 36 minutes ago
PPO Agree. So many of these jokers are nut cases. Getting them out of office has gotten harder and harder here in the states since they jerrymander their districts. They’re like ants you step on one and ten more show up. twilson117 36 minutes ago
PPO – I saw a photo of Don Jr. and Eric Trump and it was titled as a photo of swollen balls. AdLib 35 minutes ago
Perfect, Ad! pinkpantheroz 35 minutes ago
Ad Pascale needed a new mark since Trump** kicked him to the curb. twilson117 34 minutes ago
TW – I saw the video again from questioning of the DoJ in the Senate and if you remember, Josh Hawley was really “outraged” as he asked if the DoJ collected phone data from 1/6. All this extremism from him now is for cover when it comes out that he was in league with the insurrection. AdLib 33 minutes ago
TW –

Noem allowed Sturgis which shot Covid infection rates up in SD by 1,000%. She is as evil as Abbott and DeathSantis, all they care about is promoting themselves to Trumpers as the Trumpiest and they are sacrificing the lives of mostly Repubs to do it. AdLib 32 minutes ago
Ad Josh Hawley I got him confused with the 26 year congressman his name escapes me at the moment. Hawley should know better and all the colleges he went to should demand their diplomas back. twilson117 31 minutes ago
Karmaic, isn’t it, that so many RW pastors, broadcasters and anti-vaxxers are coming to Jesus, literally! Actually, going Down! pinkpantheroz 29 minutes ago
Ad Madison Cawthorn was the individual I was thinking of regarding civics lessons. twilson117 29 minutes ago
PPO – I am really growing weary of waiting for criminal charges to be brought against Trump, his gang, the Repubs in Congress who have and continue to conspire on an insurrection. I know what Choicelady would say, trust that it’s happening and that’s why we’re not hearing anything but if a year passes without indictments, who says it won’t embolden them to try again and if Repubs steal power, all federal investigations will be killed. AdLib 29 minutes ago
PPO you nailed it. twilson117 28 minutes ago
Seriously, there have been racists and idiots in Congress before but never such an array of moronic and evil as Boebert, Cawthorn and MTG and a few others. This is like the All Star lineup of Idiocy. AdLib 27 minutes ago
Ad I can think of a few more, but they are well before the ones you mentioned. twilson117 26 minutes ago
PPO – As upsetting as it is to watch these cultists kill themselves and their families on the altar of “loyalty” to the GOP, meaning, proving their opposition to masks and vaccines, I am fed up with them and as I’ve said here before, not adverse to the possibility that they are crazily shrinking the ranks of Repub voters and balancing out their attempts to rig elections. Repubs are dying at 5 times the rate as Dems and that will likely increase as more Dems get vaccinated and these lemmings don’t. AdLib 24 minutes ago
I think that the one lesson coming out of the last few years is that the veneer of civility and unity in the USA is micro-thin and need repairing quickly, before it is accepted as a norm that being a lying, cheating, corrupt asshole is OK pinkpantheroz 24 minutes ago
TW – Gosar can be added to the GOP Morons of Evil League too. AdLib 23 minutes ago
PPO The thin veer of civility reminds me of that movie The Ugly American. twilson117 22 minutes ago
Ad I agree. twilson117 22 minutes ago
With you 100% on that, Ad. The more the merrier, except for innocent children that haven’t yet been contaminated by the hate. pinkpantheroz 22 minutes ago
Ad Even his own siblings don’t like him. twilson117 21 minutes ago
PPO – Yes, I can’t say it doesn’t feel like proof of karma that these RW talk show hosts and RW evangelical preachers keep dropping dead. And GOP operatives, many of them. The thing is, seeing photos of them, a number are obese and that alone is a co-morbidity, let alone if they also have diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc., they are the most vulnerable next to the elderly to die from Covid and yet they seem oblivious to it.
