Hey Ad!!!

Heh!
AdLiban hour ago
How are things with you today?
AdLiban hour ago
Today was kind of nuts as days are. Nothing serious. How about you?
choicelady
an hour ago
Today was fine here too. Just impatient, I want the election to happen now.
AdLiban hour ago
Seriously! The tension is awful.
choicelady
an hour ago
It is! The thing is, it’s so close and yet, I’m so sick of Trump and his evil campaign poisoning the country.
AdLiban hour ago
I feel forced to live in an insane asylum.
AdLiban hour ago
The ONE thing good is he’s growing increasingly bizarre, and I think he’s turning off people not infecting those not already poisoned.

Good image. I will be like the little lady who sits in the corner and crochets – until forced to poke some asshat in the eye with my crochet hook.
choicelady

I can’t be held responsible for my actions. Trump said so.
choicelady

Right, I don’t think anything he’s doing is helping him gain voters, just the opposite. But I also feel a lot of upset that this madman who tried to destroy our democracy and overthrow the last presidential election is free to be competing to take power as a dictator. It’s like a slow motion car crash, we know what the result would be and yet we have to watch it all happen right in front of us.\

CL –
AdLiban hour ago
Now I can get behind that!
AdLiban hour ago
True. Not disputing the ugliness of him, but I am seeing two cool thing: WE, the people, no matter who we are, are coming together as never before. AND the slightly older folks are telling the very much younger folks – get off your phone! Find your community! ACT! And that ain’t hay.

Next week will be a triple slam on Trump. The movie about him opens today, The Apprentice, and the NYT gave it a great review and tapped it for Oscar noms. Jack Smith’s addendum full of quotes, witnesses and specific testimony will go public next week, and Woodward’s book about Trump comes out. That’s my kind of dogpile on a real nasty dog.
AdLiban hour ago
Back to the insane asylum point. Never turn your back on the quiet old ladies.
choicelady

CL – In any story, it’s the ones you least suspect who can surprise you!
AdLiban hour ago
Ad – Did you see that in Detroit he may have soiled himself onstage? Put that dogpile on him, and well…
choicelady
an hour ago
Ad – nobody ever takes the Churchlady seriously. To their peril.
choicelady
an hour ago
I have a crochet hook. I know how to use it…
choicelady
an hour ago
Yes, I have never seen a presidential election with so many people and politicians from the other party crossing over so openly and vowing support for the opposing party. Registration is up, early voting is strong, Kamala and Tim have not made one mistake and are doing great as campaigners while Trump looks tired, confused, hateful and very old. We will win this but it is truly getting nasty and disgusting.
AdLiban hour ago
Harris got rousted for agreeing to go on Charlemagne’s radio show. Said he’d roast her. Well, she is me with the crochet hook. NOTHING flaps her. NOTHING.
choicelady
an hour ago
Yes, what kind of idiot speaks at a Detroit economic forum then calls Detroit a piece of garbage? He has lost it.
AdLiban hour ago
Detroit is America’s “Comeback Kid” city. He will rue the day.
choicelady
an hour ago
I dislike Charlemagne and think he is a self-important fool but I have complete confidence in Kamala managing any interviewer. How did that interview go?
AdLiban hour ago
When all is said and done, we will see that the Biden-Harris administration renewed HUGE portions of America for far better livability. That’s just amazing.
choicelady
an hour ago
Yes, I think some voters especially in the business commun ity in Detroit are stepping away from considering Trump and moving into Kamala’s camp.
AdLiban hour ago
The interview is in a few days.
choicelady
an hour ago
I can see Republicans in OH, FL, NC, TN, SC stepping away from Trump. Now business leaders as well in Detroit. What profiteth a man dissing his hosts? He’s an ass, and it will rebound on him.
choicelady
an hour ago
It’s as I mentioned before, Trump has no legit “October Surprise” to spring on Kamala but a flurry of them keep falling on his head. Her lead is steady and movement towards Dems in Congress is showing. Rigged Repub polls are flooding the zone now to make it look like the race is neck and neck but that’s an illusion. I think Kamala wins by at least 5% and around 300 electoral votes.
AdLiban hour ago
The revelations of collusion between Eldon and Trump are going to explode. Did you see Elmo’s mom called him “developmentally disabled”?
choicelady
an hour ago
Ad – may you be a prophet in your own country WITH honor!
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – I think what Trump said in Detroit was the result of his dementia. He had Detroit on his mind but he’s used the mention of Detroit repeatedly as a tool to whip up racist hatred of cities with lots of black population. He couldn’t stop himself, that’s how mentally disabled he is.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad – I agree. He can’t think outside his racism, and it arose to haunt him today.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – I already thought Congress and the DoJ needed to investigate Elon for crimes in colluding with America’s enemies abroad, being a conduit for Russian propoganda and more but now, our next AG should fully investigate and prosecute this criminal. No wonder his mother is calling him disabled, that’s the only excuse he’ll have for why he shouldn’t be imprisoned for his crimes.
AdLiban hour ago
I observed that on every Twitter post by someone Black, they live OBVIOUSLY in nice homes with clean and tidy surroundings. Subliminally, I think this guts racists who make the assumption all Black people are in slums. Obviously since the 1960s, Black people have gotten education, good jobs, passed it on to their kids – and it’s intolerable to racists like Trump.
choicelady
an hour ago
That collusion starts with Federal Elections Commission investigations. If the FEC shows crimes, then DOJ would move in, probably, but first they have to ascertain the proof.
choicelady
an hour ago
Yes, to racists, wealth and success are a zero sum game. If someone black becomes wealthy or successful (like that Obama fella), in their minds, it is taking that away from them and other white people. MAGA keeps proving the utter stupidity and ignorance of this swath of America.
AdLiban hour ago
For me public exposure is important because this is a civil crime. If we can’t lock anyone up, let’s focus on what we CAN do!
choicelady
an hour ago
I like the people who remind us that democracy and opportunity aren’t a pie w limited slices.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – But isn’t the FEC hobbled by equal Dems and Repubs on it, with Repubs always refusing to pursue any charges against Repubs? There must be a way around that.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad – yes. But that’s who has jurisdiction, sad to say.
choicelady
an hour ago
Not sure about how you’d bypass the commission w the power. But there probably will be a path.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – However, if they can prove Musk’s collaboration with Russia and other malign players, that is something where the DoJ can pursue criminal charges.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad – that moves to national intel agencies to investigate. And they will find stuff to give to DOJ.

TW!!!

Hey everyone will be with you in a sec need to end this call.
twilson117

How you doing, TW???
choicelady
an hour ago
I think it’s all about DoJ finding a crime on the books that Elon’s conspiracy with Trump (and Russia) violates.
AdLiban hour ago
Hey TW!
AdLiban hour ago
TW – How dare someone call you during Vox! It’s an outrage!
AdLiban hour ago
It’s your counterpart and he is older than and me so respect is in order.

CL – So, what schemes do you think Trump will launch once it’s clear he’s losing the election and in the days that follow?
