Howdy! Did you have a nice Christmas?
AdLiban hour ago
Yes. Quiet. Way I need it! Hubs is still sick, but getting better.

Oh no, is it congestion he’s dealing with?
AdLiban hour ago
We actually had a HOUSE call from two lovely women, a PA and a tech. They said he has a lowgrade fever but is otherwise OK.

No congestion – exhaustion.

UC Davis is now offering visiting nurses to your home. How old school cool is THAT?
choicelady
an hour ago
That’s fantastic, to have a house call. Didn’t know those were doable anymore. Glad he diesn’t have congestion, exhaustion isn’t great though.
AdLiban hour ago
Hey PPO!

Very nice that UC Davis is doing such a wonderful thing!
AdLiban hour ago
UCD started up the service in September. I think it’s really helpful and keeps us out of the general pop so as not to infect anyone.

Happy New Year, dear PPO

Happy pre-New Year PPO and CL!
AdLiban hour ago
Many thanks, CL. I will be ringing in NY at my yacht skipper’s home next door to the Yacht Club! Fireworks in the distance.

CL – I think it’s brilliant. Other universities with medical schools should be doing the same across the country. Think how much of an improvement in recoveries and health there would be!
AdLiban hour ago
TW!

Hey TW!
AdLiban hour ago
We are supposed to see friends and stay over NYE. Not clear that’s happening. Among other things, our friend’s BIL – whom you have talked to, Ad who is into climate issues – has esophageal cancer and is coming there to stay with them, so we CANNOT expose them.”

Hey CL good to see you
twilson117

CL – Very sorry to hear the news about the BIL. Of course, you can’t take the chance of getting him sick.
AdLiban hour ago
There is so much to discuss

OK, frankly, Santa sucked this year. But we still had a nice time, and I did not set off the fire alarm cooking. Seriously bad holiday tradition. I managed not to do it.

How many States will ban Yambo from the polls?
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
TW – what’s on the discussion agenda?
choicelady
an hour ago
Should we start a pool on how many states will kick Trump off their ballot before the SCOTUS rules? And since states have authority over elections, can SCOTUS bar them from enforcing state election laws based on clear constitutional law?
AdLiban hour ago
PPO – so far two. The momentum is growing for banning the Yam Man from the ballot.
choicelady

CL there is so much
twilson117

Ad – I am always at my worst on state v federal pre-emption.
choicelady
an hour ago
Ad a pool sounds like a great idea
twilson117

I see Susan Collins is Concerned.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
PPO – a lot of peals went South in Maine these past two days. Susan’s clutching to a faretheewell.
choicelady
an hour ago
I mentioned to TW, if the 14th Amendment argument focused on the violation of providing aid and comfort to seditionists, Trump should lose the case decisively. Why don’t we hear more of the focus on that provision of the 14th? Trump said he “loved” them during the sedition on 1/6 and praised them, has promised to pardon them all, what more insrguable evidence is needed?
AdLiban hour ago
PPO how’s are things with you?
twilson117
an hour ago
Ad – I don’t think the case on removal from the ballot has even reached SCOTUS, and, with the possible reservation on Thomas and Scalia, I think the rest of the justices are on the side of – it says what is says, remove him.]
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – Do Mainers really care anymore what Collins thinks after she “thought” Kavanaugh wouldn’t vote to repeal Roe and Trump would “learn his lesson” on sedition?
AdLiban hour ago
Fine, thanks, TW. Invited to NY party at my boat skippers place. Mucho Buckos bayside..
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Ad – My impression is filtered through liberals in ME who have had a belly full of Susan. I think she won’t survive the next election.
choicelady
an hour ago
PPO – 
That sounds like a ton of fun!
choicelady
an hour ago
cl, no GOP’ers should survive, so many traitors to their Oaths .
pinkpantheroz

PPO – are you settling in and enjoying the condo?
choicelady
an hour ago
PPO Wow that should be good.
twilson117
an hour ago
Still unpacking boxes, but quite settled in . No room yet for a housewarming!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
PPO – I think the issue is WHO decided. If the states get to, everyone south of the Mason Dixon line will keep him. Most north of that may not.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – You’re right, it has never reached the SCOTUS but my frustration is that pundits and hosts on CNN and MSNBC keep making the argument that proving Trump committed sedition is not easy. Yet the 14th ALSO says you can’t run for office after taking an oath and providing aid or comfort to seditionists. That can be proven hands down. Why not nail him on the portion that is a slam dunk and gives SCOTUS no choice but to agree? I don’t understand why this seems to take a backseat in the media conversations.
AdLiban hour ago
PPO – no rush on the housewarming. But we WOULD love pix when you think it looks good.’
choicelady
an hour ago
Will do CL.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Ad – most of the people I listen to in ONLY the evenings think the 14th is very clear. He did it. He can’t run.
choicelady
an hour ago
Ad – MSM just don’t tackle difficult and thorny issues EVER.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – Whatever facade Collins has been sustaining for decades seems to have fallen apart now. Even if she wasn’t ignorant and a liar, just making the terrible call on Kavanaugh and voting him in to kill Roe, even if just presented as a “mistake” (which it wasn’t), should be the end of her career.
AdLiban hour ago
CL, the MSM will only if it is thorny for Dems.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Ad – I SO want Susan defeated. She’s the quintessential hypocrite. Bah!
choicelady
an hour ago
PPO how are the folks down your way seeing this? I image it seems a bit strange.
twilson117
an hour ago
CL – The most important thing is that the swing states would mostly kick Trump off the ballot so he will have no way to win even if red states kept him on.
AdLiban hour ago
PPO – agreed. Now even Fox is saying Bidenomincs works, and MSM isn’t. Yikes!
choicelady
an hour ago
Ad – totally correct.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – That’s good to hear. I do think the “aid and comfort” aspect is the most bulletproof though which is why I think it should be the primary thrist.
AdLiban hour ago
thrust.
AdLiban hour ago
We Down Under have our own RWNJs running the MSM, TV and Papers. They’re a nasty as the US, if not worse. A lot of corruption is being unearthed by the Labor Govt from the previous gummint of Evilgelicals.
