Hey CL! How are things with you today?

Utter chaos reigns in my land. As you know, I have 6.5 people in the back, about to add another who was stabbed defending one of the disabled homeless women. Greg’s aunt, his mom’s sister, died, and all is in uproar as we wade through it. Aunt was 95, we loved her, the first, upon learning of him, said, “Well, let’s go MEET him” and jump started the whole thing. We will miss her. Off to TX in 3 weeks.

I know you and Greg have been dealing with the loss of his Aunt, so sorry. Was it a homeless person who stabbed one of your folks?
AdLib3 hours ago
Hey TW!
AdLib3 hours ago
The person stabbed doesn’t live here, but I know him and really like him. I am assuming yes, a homeless person tried to rob a homeless person w disabilities, and a homeless person intervened, got stabbed. REALLY sucks.

PPO – I have my official Trump Red Card Remover so all ready for the finals.
AdLib3 hours ago
Ad – I was in the living room w cop cars, ambulances streaming over the hill and said to Greg, this creeps me out every time. Well, this time it was indeed someone I know and really like.

Flood in MO, and what has the Idiot in the WH done with disaster aid, shut it down. Impeachment is too good for that tube f lard.
twilson117

CL – That’s awful. Is he doing okay? Is he in the hospital?
AdLib3 hours ago
PPO – aren’t you all in the lead or something? (I pay NO attention to scores and standing, only the great stories about you all here.)

CL, horrible when it hits close to you.

No, CL, Aus is out of it.
pinkpantheroz

Ad – he is in the hospital. Was going to see him today but couldn’t, so tomorrow to tell him he can come stay here to recuperate.
choicelady

PPO – I am so sorry. I heard such nice things about the team. Well, there’s only one winner I fear. Not sure who it will be.
choicelady

And of course Trump is criminally withholding FEMA aid from Blue states while drowning Red States in FEMA money. I’m sure lawsuits are in process but too many people seem to take for granted that a milicious maniac is in the WH.
AdLib3 hours ago
I think France looks best for now..
pinkpantheroz

Ad – not sure what else we can do, though fighting him where we can seems reasonable.
choicelady

twilson117

TW, fine now. Ultrasound showed no injury to my kidneys from the sailing incident.
pinkpantheroz

CL – Far better than trying to heal up sleeping on the streets. Are the newbies looking for full time places to move to?
AdLib3 hours ago
What’s the goss about Mitch McC?
pinkpantheroz

TW- WOO HOO!!! That’s just GREAT!!! Congratulations to her and to all of you who helped get her here.
choicelady

PPO – That’s good news indeed!

choicelady

Fabullous, TW. She’s lovely, – and smart!
pinkpantheroz
2 hours ago
TW – never doubt for a second that your faith in her helped. Seriously. She did the work. You gave the base upon which she could launch herself.
choicelady

The Weekend at Mitch’s show has been going on for awhile, just stunning how these Repubs can just lie about a dead or comatose man being conscious and talking about “issues”. Such immoral and unprincipled weasels. Hope the Beshear just moves ahead with replacing him and announces that McConnell will have to show himself in public to avoid being replaced.
AdLib2 hours ago
CL – Right, I guess it’s quite a challenge for them to find a safe place to move to.
AdLib2 hours ago
PPO – nobody much knows about Mitch. Latest from an EMT is that neighbors said he left, no siren, no oxygen and that does NOT bode well. I said I think he will be Jeremy Bentham who got his skeleton padded out, wax head and sits in a glass case in his old lecture hall to this day. They will roll him into the Senate and vote for him.
choicelady

I’ll just say that from all I’ve heard, I am so impressed with TW’s granddaughter.
AdLib2 hours ago
We all are! TW – we all are in love with your granddaughter.
choicelady
2 hours ago
She has her grandmother’s brains her aunt my daughter stubbornness her late father’s creativity and from me well, the jury is still out on that one.
twilson117
2 hours ago
CL – Yes, no sirens, no oxygen, the stretcher had a motionless body on it, not really much of a mystery what’s going on. And his wife said there was no urgency for her to return from China. Because? He was already dead.
AdLib2 hours ago
Is Congress on Summer Break or something? Looks like even less being done than usual.
pinkpantheroz
2 hours ago
TW – Heh!
AdLib2 hours ago
TW – if she has your character, the rest will come together perfectly.
choicelady

CL I think Mitch is negotiating with the devil
twilson117

PPO – Yes, The Senate has been on another of many vacations and will be coming back in weeks. The House is out of session too for now. And them doing nothing is the same whether in session or not.
AdLib2 hours ago
PPO – we’ve given up on Congress. They ARE in session. Technically.
choicelady
2 hours ago
Ad not coming back well that is cold
twilson117
2 hours ago
Oh – if the Senate and House are out – I didn’t know that – then the bipartisan housing bill is DOA. It becomes a law if they ARE in session. Vetoed if they are not.
choicelady

Ad whimpering doesn’t know what to do so he keeps sending them home
twilson117
2 hours ago
TW’s granddaughter is an avid reader and enjoys writing and that combo in someone her age is hugely impressive to me.
AdLib2 hours ago
TW – No kidding! It’s been said that McConnell’s wife was a Chinese agent, her actions in staying in China after his collapse sure doesn’t put that rumor to rest, that it was a marriage made in politics, not affection.
AdLib2 hours ago
Anyone else happy Platner tanked – and on his own “merits”?
choicelady

She is apparently back, Ad. She and only she has the legal authority to pull the plug. We shall see.
choicelady

“The Senate will return from its August recess on September 14, 2026”
AdLib2 hours ago
Sorry, don’t know the Platner story.
pinkpantheroz

I do not understand people who have history think they can hide it and it won’t come out.
twilson117

Platner was a Bernie/Leftie pick for Maine Senate. Turned out to be a fascist sympathizer and now a provable rapist. The lefties are howling, but we WARNED them he was dicey.
choicelady
2 hours ago
CL – VERY happy Platner “plat-lined” in his candidacy! What a terrible person and what a relief Mainers weren’t forced to choose between the worst of two evils.
AdLib2 hours ago
Well, Ad – let’s see whom they DO pick.
choicelady
2 hours ago
The Left certainly doesn’t need people like that.
pinkpantheroz
2 hours ago
PPO he was running for Senate to take one long and I mean long term Senator’s seat and seems he has some major dirt that doesn’t sit well with trying to win a senate seat.
twilson117
2 hours ago
PPO – in the US they are ALL like that.
choicelady
2 hours ago
PPO – the European Left wouldn’t recognize ours. They are ignorant, craven, power mad, and incredibly stupid. They are all at sophomore HIGH SCHOOL level in understanding political economy.
choicelady
2 hours ago
CL – I think Chao only came back beacause of all the heat she was getting in being a cold, heartless jerk which she clearly is. And my bet is that McConnell is dead already, no plug needing to be pulled by her now. At best, only machines keeping his unconscious body alive. I’m not a cruel person but good riddance to a horrible man that has wrecked this nation and the lives of millions for decades to come.
AdLib2 hours ago
Well, it’s those life support plugs she has authority over. It will be interesting to see what her handlers in China have told her to do.

Best Twitter entry – Trump: ‘The pool is full of scum!” Response: “Well, it IS a REFLECTIVE pool!”

PPO – saw that cartoon! It’s perfect!
choicelady

TW – Been reading articles about the wesels that convinced Platner to run, one of them is the son of the founder of Toys R Us, a billionaire who’s hidden that AND was thrown off of a Dem’s campaign for sexual assault.
AdLib2 hours ago
weasels
AdLib2 hours ago
CL – Looks like they have a couple of solid replacements for Platner.
AdLib2 hours ago
I had NOT heard that, AD – hilarious! Billionaires for Socialism! It’s a thing now! Steyer, this guy, who’s next?
choicelady
2 hours ago
I was pleased the ME Dem party told Platner and his odious groupies to stick it, that they had NO say. Now, maybe, someone decent.
choicelady
2 hours ago
CL, it is just as ludicrous that MAGA believe the convicted Pedo felon is on their side!
pinkpantheroz
2 hours ago
Some guy, Troy Jackson? is already texting us saying HE is the one. He is claiming Platner’s working class place and everyone HATES him.
choicelady
2 hours ago
PPO – I saw that cartoon too and liked it. Just a suggestion, BlueSky has much of the same content from Dems and Progressives that X has, without the heavy Nazi “musk”.
AdLib2 hours ago
PPO – americans, left and right, are the most gullible people I’ve ever seen.
choicelady
2 hours ago
Ad, yes, but I still check Twitter, ignoring the boots and trolls.
pinkpantheroz
2 hours ago
Ad – the X ‘musk’ is rancid not as in a nice perfume. Good to come over, PPO. Bluesky has its problems, but they are vapid lefties not insane, lethal right wingers.
choicelady
2 hours ago
CL, I do look at both, but don’t comment as much in Bluesky.
pinkpantheroz
2 hours ago
Well, follow me, and you’ll get a pretty decent set of people to talk with. I didn’t know you were there!
choicelady
2 hours ago
CL – Yes, now that the jerks who pumped up Platner are finally being exposed, it’s clear that they’re privileged, well off white guys who are obnoxiously full of themselves and think they’re geniuses but it’s come out…they didn’t fully vet Platner AND ignored the terrible things in his background. The Toys R Us weasel kept using the phrase, “people aren’t looking for a candidate born in a vat” as an excuse for supporting Platner despite the awful things in his past.
AdLib2 hours ago
Anyway, I’m off to a chilly club for the afternoon race. Cheers to all for now.
pinkpantheroz

Who is the Toys R Us guy – that male part of the couple behind Platner? I’ve seen him interviewed. Creepy! But that phrase I recall.

CL – So not only is everything fake about Platner, his “socialist” campaign leader is heir to at least hundreds of millions or billions. Sure he’d support taxing millionaires, right?
AdLib2 hours ago
I’m going to bug out in a bit. I’m exhausted. As you might imagine, with 6-8 people in the back, it’s noisy. We don’t get a lot of sleep. We have two dogs, one cat as well.
choicelady

CL – You are amazing, all that you do to help others. Couldn’t be prouder to be your friend.
AdLib2 hours ago
The interview w him and his wife – both Yale Law students – was stunningly horrid. He can’t begin to imagine HE was responsible for bad vetting.

CL don’t know how you do it.
twilson117

Ad – well, thank you. It’s actually NOT a big deal, but they are somewhat – chaotic. Nothing big, just a lot of people, not much space.
choicelady

Tw – the key is I LIKE the folks here. The man I’m bringing in (if he wants to) is one of my fave people.
choicelady

CL it’s a big deal to those you are helping.
twilson117

CL – It was truly terrible, that interview. His squeaky, rodent voice and vast ignorance was ridiculous. He seems genuinely stupid but empowered by Grandpa’s and parent’s money.
AdLib2 hours ago
Tw – I do think that’s true. With endless and relentless sweeps, this is security. And the cops know it. They actually THANKED us.
choicelady

CL – You are genuinely humble but you make such a real difference in the lives of real people.
AdLib2 hours ago
Ad – people call him “Vocal Fry Moraff”. He does not present well.
choicelady

CL – Really? Nice to know the cops appreciate and respect what you’re doing. Can’t hurt when there are fundie nutjobs prowling around from time to time.
AdLib2 hours ago
My BEST talent, TW, is making boffo PBJ sandwiches. It keeps people going. D’s jam is getting a workout, thank you for that.

We used to have the BEST city council member. She got defeated by the NIMBY people who hate the homeless. The current guy who told me he cared about the homeless won’t even answer my email. Dayum.

SO, we’re back in an illegal war with Iran now. So much is spinning out of control now.

choicelady

Ad what part of never being defeated on the own land de the Trump nitwits not understand?
twilson117

AdLib2 hours ago
Ad – well that explains it. I’m an historian by education and practice. No WONDER we don’t see the world the same.
choicelady

TW – I would nominate Trump for the SI Peace Prize. That stands for Snake Island and you have to accept the prize in person to get it. Fingers crossed!

Ad -perfect.

Well it involves water, a certain kind of fish that isn’t afraid of much of anything, but there is also an island of the cost of Brazil he should take a look at good beach front property.

I mean, think about how Trump has destroyed a record number of US monuments including the WH in only a year and a half and he’s far from done. BTW, today it was announced that Trump is putting up permanent fences around Pennsylvania Avenue to lock our the public when he chooses. And he’s reinforcing the doors of the WH and trying to complete his ballroom with massive bunker before the 2028 election. Um…is it really a mystery what he’s planning?
AdLib2 hours ago
There is absolutely no extradition treaty

Well, gentlmen I am off. I am exhausted and starting to go cross eyed w fatigue. Have a GREAT weekend and week to come. I’ll be here next week and then the one after.

Wonder if Trump stays down in the bunker to stay in power after the 2028 election, would we drop a “bunker bister” on the WH?
