MurphTheSurf3

TW – Trump’s dementia explains why he keeps doing the same thing over and over.

Murph – In what way have the politics gotten hot?
AdLiban hour ago
117 residents, wow that’s great I’m sure the folks are grateful what you are doing you are doing good work

Murph following up on Ad’s question how are the politics getting hot?
twilson117

A number of measures that would have reinforced GOP hegeomony have failed to pass. While Dems will not take a deep hold on the state gov…many measures supported by the GOP have failed to fgather support.

Hi Ad!

And one fine day I hope to see you IN PERSON.
choicelady

CL…your effort has inspired Our effort….take a bow…..I have managed to follow your advice and most importantly to draw others who are very talented into our effort.
MurphTheSurf3

Hopefully that will happen CL 
twilson117

I’m so very glad it’s working so well. Can’t believe you have SO MANY!!!
choicelady
an hour ago
Murph, this is a huge and meaningful accomplishment!
AdLiban hour ago
Murph you’re getting support from your local police that’s really good.
twilson117
an hour ago
People here are very angry about so much….and, thankfully, are blaming the GOP.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
I keep saying to our folks in the back – if we had known you needed us, we’d have bought a bigger house and yard. We are the SMALLEST on the block – for many blocks.
choicelady
an hour ago
Murph – “blaming the GOP”??? Music to my liberal ears!!!
choicelady
an hour ago
TW…the police regard us as a resource for their needs. One hand washing the other.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Murph – I love the name: Oasis.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – You should’ve bought that crystal ball decades ago, Itold you.
AdLiban hour ago
Well is it any wonder they are angry at the leadership? All the Repugs have been doing is making sure the already wealthy get wealthier
twilson117
an hour ago
Murph – So for the most part, the community is fine with this?
AdLiban hour ago
Ad – if I had only known. Of course I didn’t know YOU either when we moved here. We’ve been here 24 years.
choicelady
an hour ago
Tw – finally I think MOST Americans see Trump for who and what he is. Being wealthy isn’t everyone’s dream. It’s self sufficiency.
choicelady
an hour ago
Living in the country, CL….gives us lots of space to place those who need shelter and the wider community regardingds that as a plus.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Absolutely, Murph. We occupy a city lot. Limits. But your land is primo. Just had NO clue you had so MANY people!
choicelady
an hour ago
CL hopefully it is sinking in what Trump is and what he is about
twilson117
an hour ago
CL – You needed a crystal ball to know you needed one.
AdLiban hour ago
TW – I think maybe the catering truck was the last straw. Save himself at the expense of everyone else? That’s what he’s doing to us all.
choicelady
an hour ago
Ad – does one need to be born with a crystal ball?
choicelady
an hour ago
CL…catering truck?
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Is that a good baby gift?
choicelady
an hour ago
CL – I’ll have to ask my crystal ball.
AdLiban hour ago
CL people shouldn’t be surprised at that Trump is useless SOB thinks only of himself and sees everyone else as a bunch of losers
twilson117

So I assume you’ve all heard that Iran has said they won’t resolve the war until Trump leaves office. Kind of a 180 from Carter and Reagan.
AdLiban hour ago
Even the farmers here who are doing ok…are not doing anywhere near as ok as they have been doing and were promised they would do.
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Murph – Trump got word Iran was going to shoot down his plane AF 1 after leaving Turkey. USSS smuggled him and Hegseth off the plan via the catering truck and put him on another plane. He left MOST of the Cabinet and ALL of the press corps to take their chances, never said a word to them. Cowardly ass – only he matters.
choicelady
an hour ago
TW – I think the penny has dropped at last. He’s now telling us to suck up gas prices. You just don’t win friends that way.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL…ah…the catering truck caper….did not make the connection. Hiding the The Turkey ….
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Murph – yes. That one.
choicelady

People here count on lots of affordable petrol to keep their livings alive….and right now things are looking very bad.

Murph – two weeks ago I was in TX for hubs’ aunt’s celebration of life. Our sisters-in-law offered to pay for gas on our rental car, and we laughed. I just paid $6/gallon here. It was $3.23 there. It’s hard for Californians to have sympathy, but we DO understand objectively how bad it is for you all.
choicelady

Tw – you’re being WAY too polite about Trump!

Many Missourians are actively opposing the development of data centers due to concerns over environmental impact, local governance, and community priorities. This opposition has manifested in protests and significant electoral consequences for local officials who support such projects. Of proposed site developments in my eara only one passed.
MurphTheSurf3

Murph – GREAT news!!!
choicelady

AdLib42 minutes ago
CL …why was it so cheap i Tx?
MurphTheSurf3
41 minutes ago
THE critical issue now is that AI is faltering. Hubs’ daughter works for a very staid and responsible tech firm that is rejecting AI. It’s on the verge of collapse. Every locale that approves it should demand a “surety bond” so WHEN it collapses the employees and communities are compensated.
choicelady
41 minutes ago
Ad I had a feeling you would bring that out however, I’m a bit surprised he wasn’t eating the bread 
twilson117
41 minutes ago
I LOVE the image of the Turkey Club
MurphTheSurf3
41 minutes ago
TX pumps it. TX always has MUCH lower prices than other states.
choicelady
41 minutes ago
CL – Apparently, the threat to blow up the plane came from Israeli intelligence and the CIA/SS discounted it as legit. Still, cowardly rump hid in the cart!
AdLib41 minutes ago
Ad – they hid the TACO w the turkey club?
choicelady
40 minutes ago
Ad – I thought USSS thought it WAS legit? If not, this is the coward of all cowards.
choicelady
40 minutes ago
Bet he ate all the food, too.
choicelady
39 minutes ago
CL – Or was it a turkey TACO?
AdLib39 minutes ago
CL…..still the oil processors are losing out on the windfall ripoff prices but they are playing a wider political game….I suspect.
MurphTheSurf3
38 minutes ago
Ad – hard to keep the menu clear…
choicelady
38 minutes ago
The only Turkey Club that I want Trump to experience is one that bases his tiny brain…..a real Club of the Turkey…BAM
MurphTheSurf3
37 minutes ago
Murph – those calculations are WAY outside my pay grade. They aren’t LOSING money for sure.
choicelady
37 minutes ago
CL saw some reporting earlier today that the intelligent folks saw it as a low priority as the source was questionable but reporting is showing it came from Israel sources as Ad said to scare Trump
twilson117
37 minutes ago
CL – No, I read an article that the USSS did not have high confidence in the report. And the proof is in the pudding, the plane was not shot down. Iran had no idea Trump was hiding among the chicken or turkey in the food cart.
AdLib37 minutes ago
TW – well, it’s NOT hard to scare Trump, is it?
choicelady
37 minutes ago
Ad – he and Kegsbreath were on a different plane. I imagine the Iranians figured it out or never intended to shoot it down anyway.
choicelady
36 minutes ago
I would like the Dem nominee for president run on clawing back oil company profits due to the Iran War, sue them for Climate Change costs, and damage to the green energy industry that is costing the US and people so much for higher energy costs.
AdLib35 minutes ago
Ad – that works for me. All of it.
choicelady
35 minutes ago
Look we have an idiot who still wants to press charges on the Olympian regarding the Reflection Pool when it was proven it was a botched job by someone who didn’t know what the hell they were doing. All because of his ego he’s put his name back on the Kennedy Center
twilson117
35 minutes ago
TW – the chutzpah of this man in the Oval Office is unbelievable.
choicelady
34 minutes ago
Did you all hear that Trump wants to paint the Eisenhower Exec Off Building painted WHITE You cannot paint granite….another reflecting pool fiasco on the horizon.
MurphTheSurf3
34 minutes ago
CL I believe if someone would ask him if he believes he is more important the Jesus he would say yes
twilson117
33 minutes ago
Ad – OMG.
choicelady
33 minutes ago
TW – agreed!
choicelady
33 minutes ago
What is interesting is Trump’s manic obsessions on stealing money, building a new DC in his honor, etc. while people are really suffering with affordability of basic needs, seems to make it more likely this Nov will see a massive anti-Trump & GOP tsunami at the polls
AdLib33 minutes ago
BRB
MurphTheSurf3
32 minutes ago
Ad – never once have seen a president so dismissive of human suffereing.
choicelady
32 minutes ago
Trump has no empathy for anyone other than himself.
twilson117
31 minutes ago
TW – the man is obscene in his narcissistic passions.
choicelady
31 minutes ago
CL – Did you see that today Trump was asked about the families upset over their soldier relatives suffering on the Lincoln and Trump said, “No they’re not (complaining).”
AdLib30 minutes ago
Ad – I DID see that! OUTRAGEOUS!!!

I had grown more concerned that the military might accept orders from Trump to attack Americans at election time or when he was supposed to leave office but didn’t, now I think they’ll turn on him as they should,
AdLib29 minutes ago
He wants the Navy to go back to using steam on carriers in the launching of the air craft he doesn’t know crap about aircraft carriers, but he is ordering the to do it and it will cost millions
twilson117
28 minutes ago
Hegseth is a poster child for getting fragged by his own military.
AdLib28 minutes ago
Hegseth has taken to excluding the dems from budget meetings
twilson117
27 minutes ago
TW – I was going to write a satirical post about Trump ordering aircraft carriers to change from nuclear driven to steam driven.
AdLib27 minutes ago
TW – Winder how that’s going to work when Dems control the House and maybe the Senate too?
AdLib26 minutes ago
wonder
AdLib26 minutes ago
Ad the only way the Navy could do that is they would have clone the fat blow hard.
twilson117
26 minutes ago
TW – Agreed! 
AdLib26 minutes ago
I can’t decide if Trump publicly disputes but privately knows the nation hates him and he’s going to grab with both hands until Dems take power in The House and restrict him. And impeach him. Or does he really believe that the polls are all wrong and he’ll have no price to pay for this rampant criminality?
AdLib24 minutes ago
Ad I do hope the dems have a solid plan on how they are going to do things if they take over.
twilson117

Trump Derangment Syndrome…..The mental condition characterized by a complete disregard for the needs of others is known as Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). Individuals with this disorder often exhibit impulsive behavior, lack of empathy, and a tendency to violate social norms without remorse.
MurphTheSurf3
23 minutes ago
Murph in other words, Trump is batshit crazy
twilson117
22 minutes ago
TW – Yes, I absolutely agree and hope Dems are creating a Project 2029 right now to fix all this destruction AND install fixes and guardrails to prevent this insanity from ever happening again.
AdLib21 minutes ago
Trump is provably deranged right now. All the incidents of falling asleep in meetings day in and day out, his trouble remembering simple things, acting with no awareness of consequences, and Repubs will follow him off the cliff no matter how insane he gets.
AdLib19 minutes ago
BS Crazy…..a little hard on those bats, for sure…they deserve better.
MurphTheSurf3
19 minutes ago
And with the MSM captured by billionaires and corporate sociopaths, the horrific things Trump is doing get nowhere near the outrage that Obama wearing a tan suit did.
AdLib18 minutes ago
Ad – well, a TAN SUIT…
choicelady
17 minutes ago
Well. this bad needs to hit the hay….morning comes very early here and of late we have been experiencing walk ons at breakfastr who end up staying for a while…at times a long while…all things considered the farms is proving to be a blessing for so many…including right wingers who have become supporters for a variety of reasons.
MurphTheSurf3
16 minutes ago
I am so done with bad gov’t. I really think Dems are up for a major brawl, so I hope that will help if they get the numbers. But locally our folks are cheesy wimps. Sick of them.
choicelady
16 minutes ago
CL I remember that and thought it was one of the stupidest things the news people focused on
twilson117
15 minutes ago
Murph – you are doing the work of God and Democracy. Thank you for it!
choicelady
15 minutes ago
I mean, Trump’s open racism against Latinos, Somalis, Haitians, etc. are just ignored by the MSM along with setting up all those reporters and staffers to be killed on his plane as he rode with the other plates of chicken in the food cart.
AdLib15 minutes ago
Murph – Get some rest, you’re doing incredible work. Well done!
AdLib15 minutes ago
TW – sheer idiocy. REAGAN wore tan suits. It’s just that Obama looked gorgeous in them, and we can’t have THAT, now can we?
choicelady
15 minutes ago
Murph you’re doing great work.
twilson117
15 minutes ago
And Hunter Biden was mercilessly slammed for years for earning hundreds of thousands while Trump’s family is getting billions DIRECTLY FROM THE US TREASURY. The hypocrisy is just plaing intentional evil.
AdLib13 minutes ago
OK dear friends – I’m too need to move on. There are chronic crises in our too-small backyard these days. Hope to see you ALL next Friday! Be well!
choicelady

We have a local preacher…very popular….large congregation…definitely supported trump from the start but of late he is seing the dmage being done tomH IS People..i.e. God’s people…..he is holding a service here every Sunday afternoon….and people from his congregation bring along supplies for needy…the tide is turning.

Murph – The huge Medicaid cuts begin next year, after the elections. If they think the poor are suffering now, they have no idea what’s coming.

Murph that is something for sure

twilson117

Ad and TW….wareness of the medicaid cuts is growing with the hospitals leading the charge.
MurphTheSurf3
10 minutes ago
Yes but what can be done?
AdLib10 minutes ago
AD…what is being done is being done by the mega medical apparti at work here….a lot of power and in influence.
MurphTheSurf3
9 minutes ago
So much bad news…but surprisingly….a lot of hopefilled anger.
MurphTheSurf3
8 minutes ago
I’m glad they’re working on this but many rural hospitals will collapse in 2027 because of these cruel cuts.
AdLib8 minutes ago
Here in mo. most of the rural hospitals wre part of larger med-industries and that has a lot of influence.
MurphTheSurf3
6 minutes ago
Murph – What can their influence change, the cuts were in the Ugly Bill, they’re triggered to happen at the beginning of the year and this Repub Congress can’t agree on tying their shoes.
AdLib5 minutes ago
Gentlemen I have to bid you all a good night I have some things I need to do so take care
twilson117

I just saw a news blurb that the Secret Sercice is installing anti-missle missiles at the Trump golfing properties…
MurphTheSurf3
4 minutes ago
All they can do is let Trump steal their power and affirm every crime he commits.
AdLib4 minutes ago
Murph – Yes, saw that! And he thinks America is more loved today?
AdLib4 minutes ago
See you TW! Get some rest and have a great weekend!
AdLib3 minutes ago
The pressure on the state government here is enormous….given how many voters depend on Medicaid there is a growing sense that the damage being done to the political majority here will be catastrophic.
MurphTheSurf3
2 minutes ago
Don’t recall any previous president having to have anti-missile units protect them while we were at war.
AdLib2 minutes ago
Trump brings out the worst….
MurphTheSurf3
2 minutes ago
So Murph, do you think Dems may start winning seats in MO they couldn’t before?
AdLib2 minutes ago
Trump is the personification of the worst in human beings.
AdLiba minute ago
Well…. I am off…….but as to dems winning seats here..possible but more likely is that there will be those tgagged as GOP who will be widlely hated.
MurphTheSurf3

Good night…hope to see you all next week.
