Hey TW!

Hey Ad how are things out your way?

Very hot but manageable.
AdLiban hour ago
How about you?
AdLiban hour ago
Well those lazy hazy days of summer right
twilson117
an hour ago
Not unusual for us but so many places around the world are melting.
AdLiban hour ago
Things are find staying in the cool of the AC of the apartment.
twilson117
an hour ago
We just had our AC fixed, one of the ducts detached from the unit, all that wasted AC going into the attic for a while! Got the electric bill and it was okay though.
AdLiban hour ago
What are the odds that Trump just goes crazy during a speech and rants and raves then drops dead?
AdLiban hour ago
Will be venturing out tomorrow going to see The Odyssey tomorrow
twilson117

Nice! We’re seeing it this weekend too!
AdLiban hour ago
In Imax.
AdLiban hour ago
As to Trump, anything can happen.
twilson117
an hour ago
Lots of defeats for Trump this week at least. And a Fox News poll showed 5 Dem Senators leading in close races.
AdLiban hour ago
The thing that concerns me the most with what has done is how long it will take to fix what he and his goons have managed to break.
twilson117
an hour ago
Indeed. It will take a while but as we’ve discussed, I think Dems should be creating a Project 2029 and be making a list of all the fixes needed so they can all begin at once under a Dem president.
AdLiban hour ago
At the moment I do not feel folks truly understand just how much damage he and his acolytes have done to the concept of democratic governance.
twilson117
an hour ago
Just keep adding to the list each day and if its thousands of pages, so be it.
AdLiban hour ago
Agree a project 2029 is in order, but, do you or have you seen anything that seems to be pushing it?
twilson117
an hour ago
I think you’re right.
AdLiban hour ago
I’ve seen others talk about it here and there but this needs to be done. If the DNC wasn’t so useless, they should be heading that up.
AdLiban hour ago
I saw a graph from NYT showing the MAGA podcasts, “news” channels, etc. are all nosediving in viewership.
AdLiban hour ago
Trump has no clue the ground is collapsing under his fat feet.
AdLiban hour ago
Agree, that is what Republicans theocrats, and authoritative advocates are very good at. The have plans, not very good ones but they have plans and strategy for implementing them.
twilson117
an hour ago
Yes, Repubs are pro fascist so they support authoritarian approaches to everything. The powerful and wealthy make plans and they just march behind like sheep. The wealthy and powerful know that which is why they take control.
AdLiban hour ago
I don’t know if he cares, at the moment it is very clear he is doing everything he can to accumulated as much wealth as he can, be as disruptive as he can and in my opinion give the middle finger to the world and challenge anyone to stop him.
twilson117

I saw a comment on BlueSky saying a Dem govt should sue Trump and his family for the billions they’ve taken and make them pay for the reconstruction of America.
AdLiban hour ago
I would agree with the individual who posted that, but in reality where does that take us and what does it get us?
twilson117
an hour ago
The reason I ask that question Trump is a master at litigation it’s all he has ever done throughout his life.
twilson117
an hour ago
To re-establish justice in this country, Trump and family need to be taken down by criminal and civil law. Take their stolen wealth and put them in jail. Ship them to the ICC and let The Hague take over.
AdLiban hour ago
Trump won’t find The Hague an easy mark for his litigation strategies.
AdLiban hour ago
You get no argument from me on that.
twilson117
an hour ago
Kind of too obvious that Trump and Rubio have sworn to destroy the ICC.
AdLiban hour ago
Not a mystery at all.
AdLiban hour ago
The two years he’s been in office he has managed to set the country back decades.
twilson117
an hour ago
Trump announced today he’s appealing the decisions stopping his slush fund and IRS immunity…just after the DoJ filed in a suit against it that it’s clear they stopped proceeding with it. Insane.
AdLiban hour ago
Why is than not a surprise?
twilson117
an hour ago
I know. And think of all the health emergencies across the country under the disease loving RFK Jr.
AdLiban hour ago
But he’s just sabotaged his pick for AG who verbally assured courts and Senators that they would not be moving forward on it.
AdLiban hour ago
And the DoJ dismissed their prosecution of that Olympian because they apparently outright lied to a Grand Jury and can only cover it up by dropping the case.
AdLib44 minutes ago
He will essentially walk away scott free from all the corruption he and his family has committed.
twilson117
43 minutes ago
That’s very possible. I do hope his post-WH flight to Russia is forced to land in Amsterdam and he gets arrested.
AdLib41 minutes ago
So they dropped the Reflection Pool case? It should have never gotten as far as it did.
twilson117
41 minutes ago
They not only dropped the case BUT proving they fear legal threats, they stated that the destruction to the reflecting pool WAS caused by improper application of the layer on the bottom.
AdLib40 minutes ago
They are finally coming around to admitting the truth about the faulty insulation??
twilson117
39 minutes ago
Yes. The only reason they’re doing that is because they have to knowthey’d be caught criminally red-handed for falsifying evidence to a Grand jury.
AdLib37 minutes ago
In my opinion all work that Trump has greenlit should be stopped immediately.
twilson117
37 minutes ago
Yes! And if Dems take The House…and hopefully The Senate, they should refuse to provide money and resources to the WH unless all of these criminal things Trump is doing are reversed.
AdLib36 minutes ago
Starve the beast, as they say. Hold back funding for the WH until the harm stops and starts being repaired.
AdLib35 minutes ago
I’m sure you’ve seen the reports around what folks are facing with health insurance with the cuts they made. As we discussed mortgage rates are at a level people are well into their 40’s making their first home purchase gas is up and as we’ve discussed farmers are having a real bad time.
twilson117
31 minutes ago
But Trump and all his cabinet weasels keep saying on Fox News every day that we’re living in a golden age without inflation and income is growing. Hmm…what to believe.
AdLib30 minutes ago
Just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic
twilson117
29 minutes ago
After the Titanic is already under water.
AdLib29 minutes ago
For billionaires it is indeed a golden age for them, but from the rest of us, well it’s the age of debt
twilson117

I’ve seen stories too about Trump’s aides turning on each other now, as everything is crashing all around him.
AdLib27 minutes ago
Widespread health disasters, the Iran War is spreading, gas up, groceries up, people losing health insurance and SNAP, rural hospitals closing…it’s insanity.
AdLib26 minutes ago
Them turning on each other does nothing for the family who can’t afford health care because of the crap they did. Those folks still have to figure out how to make ends meet, or go into debt because they cannot afford health care.
twilson117
25 minutes ago
So true. But due to the way things are, we can’t stop this suffering without winning this Nov and in 2028. So the only way these folks can lessen their suffering in the future is to be motivated to vote out Trump’s GOP enablers and vote in Dems who will stop and reverse their sufferings.
AdLib23 minutes ago
Looks like it’s just us tonight, up for a chat?
AdLib22 minutes ago
No disagreement there on the need to win the elections so they can make changes, but it still begs the question(s) what gets done to help those who have been crushed by what the repugs have done now and are essentially on life support?
twilson117
20 minutes ago
The people suffering now, some voted for this by voting for Trump, others didn’t and voted for Kamala. But for all of them, surviving now is going to depend on whatever they can do and what their states and cities can do to help them. We don’t have federal power now, we can’t stop this sadism yet.
AdLib18 minutes ago
We knew on election day 2024 that it meant millions of Americans would suffer. As awful as it is, it’s not a surprise.
AdLib17 minutes ago
Oh, will your Medicare Part D go up in price now that Trump ended the subsidies?
AdLib16 minutes ago
I get winning the midterms is key, what I’m asking is do the Dems have plans for turning things around that get people back on their feet so to speak. Do they have plans for fixing with the Repugs did to the ACA so that folks can get relief from their medical bills as an example?
twilson117
12 minutes ago
Dems certainly will demand the return of subsidies for the ACA and with a majority in at least one House, they won’t have to allow any budget to be passed that doesn’t do that.
AdLib10 minutes ago
Demanding and having a ready to go bullet proof action plan are two different things.
twilson117
7 minutes ago
True. But if Jeffries doesn’t want Dem voters turning on him, he better whip Dems not to vote for any budget that doesn’t restore many of the things Trumps destroyed.
AdLib5 minutes ago
Do you want to chat?
AdLib3 minutes ago
Have you seen from any of you sources that the Dems have any ready to go plans that will get things back on track?
twilson117

I’ve heard rumbles about a Project 2029 type of rodmap but don’t know for sure if it’s being compiled right now.
AdLiba few seconds ago
I will give you call in a couple of minutes

Sounds good!
