Vox Populi – 8-28-2015

Evening Ad. How bout that Martin O’Malley

sillylittleme

Uh ya, Debbie was a bit peeved.

sillylittleme

You mean trying to rig it for her

sillylittleme

Que pasa folks?

KillgoreTrout

Ad and that is why she would stink as Pres

sillylittleme

Hey KT

sillylittleme

Hey Ad and slm. How goes it?

KillgoreTrout

Can’t complain. I don’t know if Biden actually wants to run.

KillgoreTrout

Hi Glenn, Harleigh

sillylittleme

Hey glenn and Harleigh.

KillgoreTrout

Biden doesn’t want to run. He’d be in it by now.

sillylittleme

Ad – Bernie got his first superdelegate today…

sillylittleme

I heard that a couple of Hillary money bundlers are for profit prison corps. Anybody else hear this?

KillgoreTrout

Hey everyone. How is everyone tonight?

glenn

Ad and SLM–I’m confused. Have there been Democratic party debates? What have I missed?

glenn

hi folks! good to see everyone tonite

Harleigh

Ad – the sad part is that the Ds have been exposed as the same rotten pretenders as the Rs. How they think this will be the same as any other election makes me want to require the UN to oversee our elections…

sillylittleme

Ad – that

sillylittleme

s why he laughed it off…

sillylittleme

Harleigh – just smoking for the first time today, so excuse me for bogarting it all

sillylittleme

waitin To see what tropical storm Erika is gonna do to my first day at a new job Monday.

Harleigh

I don’t think Hillary ever thought that Bernie would be so popular. Isn’t he ahead in the polls now?

KillgoreTrout

Ad–okay, so I did miss that. Are these committments in writing? Do they actually have to “vote” for her at the convention?

glenn

Ft Lauderdale, 5 miles west of the beach.

Harleigh

Ad – and how did it work out last time

sillylittleme

Harleigh–just talked to my nephew in Stuart (actually Port Salerno, if you’re familiar with that area) and he says the storm is probably going to go up the west coast–where my sister lives. How about you? And, what’s the new job?

glenn

When ARE the primaries anyhow?

KillgoreTrout

Harleigh–oops I was typing when you replied to Ad.

glenn

Harleigh–anywhere near Westin?

glenn

KT – first one is January NY, NH, IA

sillylittleme

I am not getting worked up this far in advance of the electios. I am enjoying the shit out of the RWNJ feasing on each other as they stampede to the cliff on the right. LOL

Harleigh

Thanks, slm.

KillgoreTrout

Howdy….ad….I could not get to Vox from the Front Page. I had to go to the Live Events Page and it popped up. Could just be me but I figured you should know.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad–I’m with you. I’m just really tired of the Clintons and all their “baggage”. I’m not saying I would vote for ANY republican over Hillary, should she get the nomination, but I’d much rather vote for Bernie, or even O’Malley. And, I understand that a lot of the stuff about Hillary is exaggerated or even made up, but damn, it stinks to have to listen to it all the time.

glenn

Trump is having a fundraiser in MA today at a well-known car dealership owner’s home. That man is about to lose a lot of business. He too inherited his father’s wildly successful business. So he and Trump have that in common

sillylittleme

Hey Murph, how goes it?

glenn

Hey Murph

sillylittleme

Hi glenn and slm

MurphTheSurf3

glenn, I feel the same way about Trump too. I’m already sick of seeing that stupid face.

KillgoreTrout

Glenn – so agree…

sillylittleme

So…is anyone watching the palindora box of lunacy interviewing the tRump tonight on conservative tv? Whatever that is…I’m afraid my tv would explode if I turned it to “conservative tv”.

glenn

KT–OMG, if the press would just quit hanging onto trump’s every word, gesture, and fart, I’d be a happy woman!

glenn

Donald Trump-Orange is the New Black!

KillgoreTrout

KT–Donald tRump–orange is the new idiocy!

glenn

There was a sign at the end of the driveway that stated that checks were to be made out to Trump’s campaign, if the guest brought cash, they were to have it ready.

sillylittleme

Ad, KT – Trump is the impetus for Idiocracy…

sillylittleme

SLM–I thought the tRump didn’t need anyone else’s money; he has so much of his own!

glenn

It’s never a good idea to have the worst president in US history to help you campaign. Them bush boys just ain’t too smart.

KillgoreTrout

Glenn – HUGE fundraiser in MA this afternoon. I don

sillylittleme

KT–and the worst FEMA director ever at your side when “bragging” about how well you handled hurricanes when you were governor of FL!

glenn

t think there are enough RWNJs in MA to raise much

sillylittleme

KT – them Bush boys are inbred…

sillylittleme

I met someone last week who has worked with Hillary several times in her life. Here is what she told the group I was in. Hillary is a very, very, very serious person. She has a softness with family and her closest friends but she is not a naturally “friendly” person. She is not a person at ease in large gatherings. She loves to work. She loves to get the job done and finds glad handing a sad diversion. Hillary is not a happy campaigner but she is a very happy office holder. It has helped me “get” her a bit more. But it also means that if she is President she will probably be no better at schmoozing than Obama is.

MurphTheSurf3

True glenn. Brownie is still not doing a “Heck of a job.”

KillgoreTrout

Eriika is getting ripped up but could reform in open water. Weston is 10 miles west of me and stuart is north. it will probably be a very wet rain event.

Harleigh

Harleigh – keep your pot dry!!!

sillylittleme

SLM–oh well, it shouldn’t matter if tRump doesn’t raise much money, right?

glenn

George has some chutzpah taking bows in New Orleans today…..

MurphTheSurf3

Murph – not convincing, I think that person was being too kind

sillylittleme

Hey Sabreen

sillylittleme

Hello Planeteers!

Sabreen60

Murph – I don

sillylittleme

Murph–interesting about Hillary. Image is everything nowadays, unfortunately.

glenn

t get why he was there

sillylittleme

SLM…maybe but given her resume I think she know her.

MurphTheSurf3

Hey Sabreen–how are you?

glenn

Good thing for bush that he still has SS protection.

KillgoreTrout

Glenn – the President needs to be able to deal with more than just their homies…

sillylittleme

Murph – how many people do you know that knock their former boss, especially one with pull…

sillylittleme

SLM–agreed.

glenn

Hillary HAS dealt with a lot of foreign leaders. I’ll give her that much. Hearing that the for profit prison industries are backing her makes me sick though.

KillgoreTrout

Ad- seconded, Harleigh stay safe (and keep your pot dry)

sillylittleme

And she has the nerve to talk about “mass incarceration?”

KillgoreTrout

KT–I saw an article–just skimmed it–that says that BLM interrupted one of her events to encourage her to cut all ties with for-profit prisons. Don’t know what her response was, though.

glenn

Hiya glenn, slm everyone. I’m recovering slow buy steady. I’m not to stay long, but I missed you guys

Sabreen60

Hillary has been mostly falsely badmouthed since 1992. Benghazi and emailgate are just the latest examples.

Harleigh

SLM…worked with, not for…..this person is a senior Dem.

MurphTheSurf3

KT – that is the one thing that will lose her a good portion of the AA vote that she thinks she has in the bag…

sillylittleme

Yep.

KillgoreTrout

Sabreen–glad to hear you’re recovering, even if it is slowly. Try to take it easy to keep that recovery going!

glenn

Hey Sabreen.

KillgoreTrout

Sabreen – well you made it through, so that’s a start. give yourself time to recover.

sillylittleme

As long as you get better Sabreen….

Harleigh

Sabreen, I didn’t know you were ill. Glad to see you on the mend.

KillgoreTrout

Ad–I think it was obscene (and yes, I mean that word) that gwb had the nerve to show his face in NOLA!

glenn

Harleigh – the email thing is such BS. They changed the law after she left SoS.

sillylittleme

Every accusation the repukes have directed at her are a bullshit.

Harleigh

SLM–ever since Bill ran for prez the first time and Hillary said she wasn’t going to stay home and bake cookies, the cons have had it in for her.

glenn

glenn, like Michelle’s garden. The nerve of the woman.

KillgoreTrout

I watched Trump in Massachusetts this evening….he promises without end and his crowds demand nothing of him than that he satisfy their hunger for an angry spokesman who fits their expectation of what a leader looks like. All bravado and no bothersome particulars.

MurphTheSurf3

KT- I wasn’t actually ill. But had to have a hiatal hernia the size of Mt. Everest repaired.

Sabreen60

Murph – MA residents are quite POd

sillylittleme

Like Trump refusing to say what Bible verses he likes best. Like he’s ever even opened a bible.

KillgoreTrout

SLM…SAY MORE PLEASE.

MurphTheSurf3

I have confidence enough in her that she will win and do a great job. The repukes candidates are do-nothings. Any of us could do a better job than any of them.

Harleigh

KT–exactly. How dare MIchelle try to show people good eating habits?

glenn

Sabreen – rest, rest and more rest. after that, rest some more.

sillylittleme

Well glenn, you know how us commies are.

KillgoreTrout

KT but Trump is a master at deflection….he says he will not respond because it is personal…..and the evangelicals are willing to accept that because he is saying what they want him to say about what they care about or despise.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–have you see Kimmel’s “campaign ad” for tRump that’s making the rounds on the net today? Hilarious!

glenn

Glenn….I have…

MurphTheSurf3

Glenn – how dare she use the land to feed people, the shame. these people would have yelled at Dolly Madison for saving the art work…

sillylittleme

True dat Murph. Of course, the Tundra Tart had to defend him on that.

KillgoreTrout

oh Sabreen…. OOOOOWWWWW Don’t chase that pain, just take some drugs and chat…. you”ll be fine. LOL

Harleigh

So what was this dust up I read about on Twitter between Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and O’Malley?

Sabreen60

Sorry Harleigh but President Bernie Sanders has a much nicer sound, not to mention restoring the government to the people…

sillylittleme

KT–The more I visit VOX, the more I am learning (and liking) about you Commies! Maybe we should “switch” to being “socialists” like Bernie!

glenn

Trump says he might have a cabinet position for Palin. Secretary of the Inferior!!

KillgoreTrout

I like Bernie.

Harleigh

Sabeen – O’Malley told DWS off at the DNC Summer Convention, well he just talked about the lack of debates and how it was weak sauce

sillylittleme

glenn, they’re one and the same in the eyes of the teabillies.

KillgoreTrout

I looked to see if I could get that comedy show on my comcast lineup….. nope

Harleigh

Murph–I loved it when the announcer asked, “Why?” and the answer was always, “Because it’s great!”

glenn

Harleigh – Finished to RX drugs. I’m not feeling too bad. Nowit’s just that my lungs hurt a little because the hernia had been pressing up againt on and when it was moved the lung partially collapsed.

Sabreen60

Well Ad, Trump should know about big penises. He IS one.

KillgoreTrout

Trump has no plans or policies. just bullshit shuck and jive. LOL

Harleigh

I am really out of practice. My typing is worst than ever.

Sabreen60

Want to see Trumps Spirit Guide? Huey Long……Read his “Every Man a King” stump speech….

MurphTheSurf3

SLM–I know, these RWNJ can use ATV’s to rip through an archealogical (sp) site that hundreds of years old, and tear it up to “protest”, but don’t you dare use land to grow healthy food! Glad to see those assholes got arrested and are being tried.

glenn

Ad – taller? Ok that’s it I’m voting for Trump!!

sillylittleme

Hareigh, in the immortal words of Herman Cain…Aw Shucky Ducky!

KillgoreTrout

The speech put to song:

MurphTheSurf3

Glenn – you are correct and a terrific speller

sillylittleme

KT – nein nein nein!!! lol

Harleigh

LOL!

KillgoreTrout

KT–good one! And the word salad queen would be happy to accept–that way she wouldn’t have to associate with them thar “elites”.

glenn

I can just see it now. Sarah Palin…brain trust!

KillgoreTrout

Sarah speaks through a Salad Shooter into a Mr. Microphone and thinks she’s hi-tech. No translation device is planned.

Harleigh

Well folks, I’m going to relax away from the “puter”. Hope to feel stronger in a week or so. Take care everyone.

Sabreen60

Harleigh – funny and fantastic!!!

sillylittleme

Sarah has also been studying Rosetta Stone English.

Harleigh

Hope you’re feeling better Sabreen. Take care.

KillgoreTrout

Have a restful week Sabreen!!!

sillylittleme

nite Sabreen!

Harleigh

I am finding Trump SOOOOOOOOOO boring….an empty kettle, a banging drum who offers only wild dreams and no solutions. He claims we will have the largest military in the world, a wall to wall fix of our infrastructure, AND lower taxes…..how? TRUST ME. I WILL MAKE THE DEAL.

MurphTheSurf3

Hello Planeteers

SueInCa

Sabreen–take good care of yourself, and hope to “see” you soon!

glenn

Hey Sue!!!

sillylittleme

Hi Sue–how are you?

glenn

SUEINCA….HOW THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN….? LONG TIME NO SEE.

MurphTheSurf3

Hi SLM, glenn and Adlib

SueInCa

Murph – he’ll just keep printing money…

sillylittleme

Hey Sue. How’s it going?

KillgoreTrout

Hey Murph I am a lame duck what can I say. Hey KT

SueInCa

SLM….which runs contrary to every principle he says he holds deer.

MurphTheSurf3

Sue….how so?

MurphTheSurf3

Well, a lame duck is better than a dead duck!

KillgoreTrout

Cannot seem to remember to ever make it here even when I told Kes only an hour before then forgot a couple weeks ago

SueInCa

SLM–tRump–“You mean I can’t bankrupt the US, fire everyone, and still make money?”

glenn

Ad if you look at what the technology was in 2008 and that State had not been upgraded in the previous 8 years of Bush it really tells you why she opted for something more modern and useful. Think about a 2007 Blackberry. LOL

Harleigh

Murph – he has always been able to make more money, though why I have no idea…

sillylittleme

that is true KT and I am alive

SueInCa

SLM because he never spends any of his own money.

SueInCa

Hey Funk

sillylittleme

I wonder how many deportation trains Trump is planning to use. Hmmm, sounds vaguely familiar!

KillgoreTrout

Sue – exactly

sillylittleme

HI SUE!!! I know you!

Harleigh

Hello Funk

MurphTheSurf3

hey slim!

funksands

OMG its SueInCa

funksands

Glenn – LOL

sillylittleme

Hey Murph

funksands

Adlib not Hugely, Yugely

SueInCa

Funk’s in da house!

KillgoreTrout

KT– I must say, I do like our lame duck President lately. Especially when he goes all out on “I’m out of f**ks” with the repubs!

glenn

Ad, we’re all in Trump City right now

funksands

OMG It is FunkSands as I live and breathe 🙂

SueInCa

Yes….tis I

funksands

Yeah me too glenn. I hope Obama legalizes weed before he goes.

KillgoreTrout

Sue – YUUUGE

sillylittleme

KT I am enjoying this President immensely

SueInCa

Sue invite him to lib friends!

Harleigh

Hey Funk–how are you?

glenn

KT, I have visions of him boarding Marine 1 as he leaves the White House and lights up a big spliff

funksands

Everyone can come to Lib Friends.

SueInCa

We are going to have so many victories….you’ll get tired of them……SUPPORT FOR TRUMP IS AN IQ TEST….support him and you flunk.

MurphTheSurf3

Glenn I am tired but well. Hours of yard work. Makes me strong

funksands

That would be too cool funk.

KillgoreTrout

KT – me too!! He should do it as his last act as President.

sillylittleme

Funk–ain’t that the truth? Seems like all I see all over the internets is tRump nonsense!

glenn

I keep waiting for Morpheus to offer me a pill

funksands

slm, are you getting a medical card now that Mass has legal MMJ?

KillgoreTrout

Que es Lib Friends?

funksands

I have to drive 12 blocks to pick out my wife’s!

funksands

So inconvenient

funksands

Lib Friends is a group of ex HPers and other on FB, Funk

SueInCa

Oh Facebook. Damn. I am not of the body

funksands

Believe it or not, Ohio may vote for legal recreational weed this November. Fucking OHIO! OH HIGH O!

KillgoreTrout

KT, that would be very civilized

funksands

It sure would.

KillgoreTrout

One thing that Trump is doing for Obama…..he is making Barack look very, very, very good…..the newest Pew Poll says that 85 percent of Dems are happy with Barack while 34 percent are happy with Congressional GOP leadership and we know how badly all of hte GOP Prez candidates are doing (except for Trump) are doing.

MurphTheSurf3

We smoke it anyway in Cali, two brave Senators took it down to a misdameanor that is almost as good as legal

SueInCa

KT – yup, but they are rejecting a lot of people.

sillylittleme

Good point Murph

funksands

Pretty close Sue. Cal may just make it legal in 2016.

KillgoreTrout

Time to go back to Budweiser, Cutty Sark and Marlboros

funksands

Murph–WOW–congress has that high of a rating now? They have come up from their 17% not so long ago!

glenn

That figures slm. They don’t have many dispensaries either.

KillgoreTrout

They are still doubling down and now they have a RW evangelical on Trumps’s staff

SueInCa

Can I join Lib Friends or is it just Hill supporters

sillylittleme

funk it’s a facebook group private page called lib friends with lots of old HP posters…. like here but on the FB format.

Harleigh

i refuse to join FB!

KillgoreTrout

Thanks Harleigh, it sounds fun! Alas I am not of the Book

funksands

SLM anyone can join

Harleigh

SLM no most of us I think are Bernie supporters. Either way, there is to be no infighting there, right Harleigh?

SueInCa

KT–why? Just curious.

glenn

Sue that sounded convincing

funksands

KT – the one they just opened in Salem is already a mess. The person running it is not gonna make any money when there is a closed FB page that patients and providers use to get together

sillylittleme

Harleigh – why am I just hearing about it…

sillylittleme

I’ve seen to many stories about FB members getting themselves fired and so on, for the comments they make. Too many eyes watching, for my taste.

KillgoreTrout

Do you all remember the promised TOWN HALL MEETINGS TO TAKE ON THE IRAN DEAL that the GOP was promising us….I went to one here in Mo. My congressteaman put a full court press on getting out a huge crowd to show the Prez what we Show Me Staters thought of his Bad Deal. 31 people showed up, 10 of them like me in support of the deal…..things are not good in GOPland

MurphTheSurf3

Ad: Uneasy, sniping unity

funksands

No infighting. Opinions are fine. Don’t dare to do a mysogyn thing…. the women there would hunt you down!! LOL

Harleigh

Funk –

sillylittleme

iT REALLY IS, fUNK. I don’t belong to any page that is taking part in denigrating either of the candidates or should I ssay any

SueInCa

Good! Pleasant change

funksands

Harleigh is that like an obgyn?

funksands

Funk yes it is like in obgyn not allowed

SueInCa

funk, without the stirrups!

KillgoreTrout

Interesting info today that Hillary thinks that she’s already got 15% of the delegates locked up. Already.

funksands

I found one Lib Friends on FB – it is a closed group with 14 people

sillylittleme

Murph that is a good thing

SueInCa

Very good points Ad..

MurphTheSurf3

Ad–repubs despise their leaders because they have been taught for over 30 years to hate the government. As has been pointed out so many times, repubs complain that government doesn’t work, then get elected, and do their damndest to make it NOT work! Was it Brownie or the Homeland Security who just said in an op-ed that Americans shouldn’t expect their government to fix their problems for them? WTF do we have a government for, then?

glenn

Ad, did that happen to Romney?

funksands

lol Funk remember when Obama was keeping quiet and the delegates flocked to him? She really has not learned her lessons

SueInCa

Harleigh – how does one get into a closed group and is that it?

sillylittleme

Oops, got a visitor, gotta go. Take care all.

KillgoreTrout

later KT

SueInCa

Sue, I think she has! I think she’s been personally courting delegates and super delegates for months

funksands

Bye KT

sillylittleme

Glenn….head of homeland security.

MurphTheSurf3

See ya KT

funksands

Murph–such a shame that things are not good in gopland. NOT!

glenn

SLM there is over 100 in the group. what’s your fb name and i’ll send a invite if you want.

Harleigh

Just need your name on FB slm and we add you to be approved

SueInCa

You should have seen the looks of shock on the face of our Congressman as he realized that he had fallen flat on his face.

MurphTheSurf3

‘Nite KT. Take care!

glenn

lol next time take a pic Murph

SueInCa

Funk – one would think courting votes would be more important

sillylittleme

I still cover this site mostly and hardly ever miss our friday chats.

Harleigh

So what did he do Murph? Did he still have the rally?

funksands

Better yet, a vid of the whole thing

SueInCa

Funk….he did and the 30 or so who showed up….only 20 with him and 10 opposed (including me). He was shocked.

MurphTheSurf3

Marlon Bird just hit a grand slam against the ST Louis Cards

SueInCa

Ad, its remarkable to watch the darlings of the 2012 candidate watch come out swinging in 2016 and be utterly lost as to what to do next.

funksands

Sorry Sue, its an odd year. Giants aren’t winning it this year. Like Star Trek movies

funksands

Sorry Adlib

SueInCa

Harleigh–I’m with you; love these Friday night chats. I also go to Addicting Info a lot since you mentioned it here at VOX. It cracks me up; especially the rwnj’s who go on there to slame “liberals”.

glenn

Ad, noted.

funksands

I keep telling the hubby that, Funk, next year is our year

SueInCa

Mariners just fired their GM. We have that going for us.

funksands

Morning all!

pinkpantheroz

but we are big fans anyway.

SueInCa

Hey Pink!

funksands

Hi Pink

SueInCa

Hey PPO–how’s everything with you?

glenn

Who is pushing Trump….Talk Radio and the Right Wing Internet….Levin, Limbaugh, Savage, Breitbart, Jones- this is the Tea Party focused on a standard carrier (interesting that Palin is interviewing Trump tonight)

MurphTheSurf3

Ad – it doesn’t mean we love coming here any less. I’m usually more interested in reading other people’s comments…

sillylittleme

Hi PPO…g’day.

MurphTheSurf3

Trump has figured out that it isn’t about the policies its about the right words. He’s made the “brave” move of moving beyond dog whistles an codes to just come right out and say the things that people are thinking.

funksands

Hi from Nazi Melbourne. If you haven’t seen it, there were demonstrations in the center of Mel yesterday protesting at the cops and Immigrations plans to check people in the streets for their visas! they were totally shamed into abandoning the whole profiling exercise. Dumb of the Gummint to even try such a stupid idea.

pinkpantheroz

Adlib Trump has added an Evangelical to his team that was, not 20 days ago, slamming Trump. Trump is courting the evangelical vote and if we don’t get out the vote, they could concievably win

SueInCa

Hey Pink!!

sillylittleme

Sue, Ain’t trump Catholic?

pinkpantheroz

You have an evangleical right winger there, PPO

SueInCa

Oh Pink it hurts my heart to see your beautiful country saddled with Rick Perry for Prime Minister. Surely this will end soon?

funksands

I think that Trump realized that there was a very solid, very angry, very betrayed Tea Party Core (old, white, male dominated) that now hates the establishment GOP as much as they hate the Dems (and maybe as much as they hate Obama) andhe is harnessing it.

MurphTheSurf3

PPO Trump was raised Presbyterian but it is pretty clear that he is really a NONE.

MurphTheSurf3

Trump is his own idol

funksands

Pink – I agree with Ad sorry we’ve influenced the lunacy around the world

sillylittleme

funk, here’s hoping. Also the debate has restarted to make Australia a Republic, and drop the Queen as head of state. Up The Republic!

pinkpantheroz

PPO….you all have a conservative government down under.

MurphTheSurf3

I wanna see the vid of the trump – palin

Harleigh

SLM I know. First Jerry Lewis, then high fructose corn syrup, now Trump

funksands

Fer sure, Murph. Racist, conservative a la GOP and thoroughly detested.

pinkpantheroz

Isn’t Trump GOD?

sillylittleme

Pink, that would an interesting process to watch.

funksands

SLM, not yet

funksands

Funk…quite a word association list you have there.

MurphTheSurf3

Pink – no more royalty!!!

sillylittleme

SLM, only in his own mind, which is overheating from that rug

pinkpantheroz

PPO he says he is Presbyterian

SueInCa

Ad…EVERY MAN A KING…..this is how it works with the unhappy and the angry.

MurphTheSurf3

Oh, sue, maybe he said it to lure the Latino vote!

pinkpantheroz

Ad, I can’t believe that you can’t believe that.

funksands

SLM and PPO…sorry but I am a royal fan….ooops

MurphTheSurf3

Mo problem, Murph. I love the old bat myself, just think that an Aussie should be Head of State in Australia

pinkpantheroz

Murph – shame!!!

sillylittleme

The old bat. LOL

funksands

Pink, another 20 years with the crown I think she’ll turn into a stone gargoyle.

funksands

I am surprised you even ask that question Adlib. The are pretty stupid and have been for a long time. They don’t know how to think for themselves, group think works better. Talk about lazy assholes, the right is ripe with them

SueInCa

That’s a little rude of me.

funksands

Lest we forget…..Dr. Carson is the number 2 in the GOP field….those Repubs really hate their political class do they not.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph, the GOP built a rod for their own back when they went commando on President Obama from day one.

pinkpantheroz

Murph, it sure is looking that way. Too bad being a truly awful person doesn’t disqualify you for higher office

funksands

Ad, he’s a fanboy

funksands

He is the ultimate DC creature. He worships DC

funksands

I could not stomach to watch him at all. I have given up MSNBC entirely

SueInCa

funk, I have no tiime for Sir Cumference of New Jersey, but he made a point on CBS This Morning that all the questions they were asking him were not about his message, but what he thinks of Trump! Insane

pinkpantheroz

I saw a car in ME today with a Ben Carson bumper sticker and I laughed as I passed them with my Bernie bumpersticker

sillylittleme

September 9 Trump and Cruz will be at a Tea Party Patriots, Center for Security Politcs and the Zionist Organization of America anti-Iran Agreement Rally in D.C….their goal to stop the deal…Josh Earnest pointed out that Trump is associating himself with those who got us into Iraq something he says he was against…..

MurphTheSurf3

Christie speaks the truth! Too bad he’s such a goddamn liar 90% of the time so I can’t believe anything he says

funksands

Ad and Murph–yeah, Carson is so “brilliant” that he says the gop doesn’t have a war on women; just on the insides of women. And this man is/was a brain surgeon!

glenn

Well gotta go for now, you all have a good night.

SueInCa

wrong end, glenn!

pinkpantheroz

Night Sue!

funksands

Funk, friends of mine in NJ say that Christie is now in single digits and that efforts to impeach him are gaining steam…..AND his legal troubles are not done.

MurphTheSurf3

i quit MSNBC years ago too Sue. Phil Griffin has run it into the ground per comcast declartation

Harleigh

g’night sue

pinkpantheroz

nite sue

Harleigh

Glenn….brains …… perhaps his is overworked.

MurphTheSurf3

G’nite Sue. NIce chatting with you!

glenn

I’ll beat you there SLM. I saw a Lindsey Graham bumper sticker in Seattle

funksands

Nite Sue

sillylittleme

Sue…take care. It was grand seeing you here tonight.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph, judging by what he was spouting on CBS, I’m not surprised.

pinkpantheroz

Freaked me out

funksands

PPO–LOL! Wrong end, indeed.

glenn

Funk…pretty clear…..

MurphTheSurf3

Bush, Clinton or Trump? We have a very very sick electoral process

funksands

Funk – you have officially one upped me. Although the people in the Ben Carson stickered car were definitely not brain surgeons…

sillylittleme

Ad–they are punching themselves in the face, every time they vote for one of these fraudsters like tRump or the cruzmobile.

glenn

Ad – and we educated all of those people in public schools. I think too many people have been passed along to graduation.

sillylittleme

I think the Iran Deal is pretty much sealed up now….no veto over-ride possible. Now the deal will have to be sold post-facto to the democratic base…

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–not sure the deal has to be sold to the Dem base; needs to be sold to the stupids who would rather side with Israel than the US and five other nations.

glenn

Ad–and carson is the #2 choice behind the tRump!

glenn

Murph – the deal doesn’t “have” to be sold. It is a multi-nation agreement.

sillylittleme

Glenn….the Dems will be tied to the deal and unless mosts of the base gets it was right thing to do it is a chink that could become a big hole.

MurphTheSurf3

SLM…voters need to feel that the deal is a winner…I am just thinking in terms of the politics of it.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad, you got it. The problem isn’t the Presidency. That’s going to be almost impossible for the GOP to win. The real problem is the Statehouses that have been totally taken over by really extreme legislators.

funksands

Who does well in national elections is reflection of that

funksands

Murph–so you don’t think that most of the Dem base thinks it is the right thing? I’ve certainly not done a scientific poll, but most of the other libs/Dems posting on sites I visit seem to understand that it’s the best deal we can get.

glenn

Funk….the statehouses are very important. They have the potential to counter the 2020 census.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad–true, we get punched, too.

glenn

BRB

funksands

If the Iran deal gets canned we will have very poor relation with the other countries, murikkas wor will be shit and all sanctions from Russia and Cina will be gone for good.

Harleigh

Ad – or as a friend of mine whose ex-wife is homeschooling by letting them figure things out for themselves…

sillylittleme

I wish I could type tonite! LOL

Harleigh

Glenn, the lastest poll I read shows that 41 percent think the deal is necessary and the best we could get, 34 disagree, and 15 are undecided.

MurphTheSurf3

Have another Toke, H!

pinkpantheroz

PPO… oh my!!! LOL

Harleigh

Ad…I agree Obama has done what he does, play the small game very well….while playing the PR game simultaneously.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad……..the lastest Marist poll on the deal…Glenn, the lastest poll shows that 41 percent think the deal is necessary and the best we could get, 34 disagree, and 15 are undecided.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–Was that a poll among only Dems, or the whole country?

glenn

Glenn…a poll done of dems

MurphTheSurf3

Bobo Naziyahoo has been saying that Iraq/Iran will have nukes in a year for 25 years! LOL. It is not cheap to build and maintain nukes but it will keep other countries from attacking you.

Harleigh

Sanders and O’Malley are really pushing for more debates…any chance? I think that there is none. Clinton’s people controlled the process and neither of the otehrs had enough organizational strength to challenge it. This speaks to another issue: wrapping up 400 plus super delegates out of 700 more than a year out from the election.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad – the sad part is that his family has math geniuses in it (himself included), his children as hard as he has fought for them are still in the custody of the woman who is teaching them into minimum wage jobs. He isn’t taking it well!!

sillylittleme

Murph–wow. That blows my mind. It does show how little the “liberal press” does its job, though. I am so sick of reading about what this or that person said about the deal instead of hearing about what the deal actually says and does! Everytime someone, whoever it is, says something about the deal, the press should be doing its job and saying whether or not it is true. IOW, here is what the deal says, not what “joeblow” says.

glenn

Harleigh…and Bibi has direct experience of this as the only nuclear power in the Middle East.

MurphTheSurf3

Harleigh – Bibi is such a shitty human that he’s gonna live to be 100.

sillylittleme

Murph – because they helped the US continue development…

sillylittleme

Harleigh–and what bobo is not saying is that even though Israel has nukes, they are not signatories to the nuclear arms reduction treaty (don’t know the “official” name).

glenn

The press is so anxious for readership, viewership, listenership that it plays the game according to the ratings cards…what draws crowds

MurphTheSurf3

Glenn – and that is because that is what the US wants…

sillylittleme

SLM–clarification? The US wants Israel to NOT sign the arms reduction treaty?

glenn

Ad…she did not rig it last time….Obama did…he had the supers sown up in record time….

MurphTheSurf3

Glenn – the US wants nukes in Israel at all costs. so if they won’t sign the US is ok with that…

sillylittleme

Ad – what’s worse is the court system is blinding themselves to the circumstances because they are upper middle class in income. If they were poor he would have had custody from the start.

sillylittleme

SLM–apparently so. But I think that people should know the facts at least–that Israel hasn’t/won’t sign.

glenn

Ad…..Obama’s people got ahead on this early….I was involved with it. Very cagey. She was caught flatfooted.

MurphTheSurf3

brb

pinkpantheroz

Glenn – totally agree. especially since we Americans have NO clue how many are over there…

sillylittleme

Ad – which is another reason that she will likely be a victim of Romneyitis

sillylittleme

Ad…I know…she tried to discredit the entire process….Obama locked up 394.5 delegates to her 280 by early June and then went after the 115 uncommitted. He got more than half of those. So….the quote does not surprise me.

MurphTheSurf3

We all heard Bobo’s speeches and from Israel’s Mr. Spybassador. They are all liars. It is way past time for AIPAC to be registered as a foreign lobby and to curtail all monetary and military aid to that warmongering theocratic apartheid country/race/religion called Israel. That money could be much better spent on our own people and infrastructure here in whats left of murikkka. Israel is a bigoted, offensive, apartheid country and should no longer receive anything from the US except our contempt and condemnation. No more knee-jerk shielding at the UN for their war crimes either! At least they are only targeting, killing and stealing from heathen Muslims to prevent any peaceful 2 state solution, right? Israeli Prime Minister Bobo Naziyahu is just another war criminal and his Lukid party in Israel sucks just like the baggers here in murikkka. Naziyahu has been saying that Iran is a year from having a nuke for 25 YEARS now! Either they now have dozens of nukes or Bobo has been lying for all these years.

Harleigh

SLM–it’s like a “catch 22”; we don’t know how many they have because they won’t tell, and as non-signatories to the agreement, we can’t “force” them to “tell”. Kind of like what would happen if we didn’t sign the Iran deal, and Iran has no oversight over their nuclear weapons program. Ironic, isn’t it?

glenn

Ad – yup. they have a new judge, but I’m not as hopeful as I was 3 years ago when he started the divorce process because he had been advised by a former family court judge that was his best course for getting them back in school.

sillylittleme

Harleigh it seems you have some doubts about the efficacy of support for the state of Israel?

MurphTheSurf3

oops–then we woldn’t have oversight over Iran’s nuclear weapons program; not that Iran wouldn’t have oversight.

glenn

murph…. just a little.

Harleigh

Glenn – the US government knows, there is no question that a paper trail exists. The question is why don’t the American people know and why would anyone want to keep it from us…

sillylittleme

Ad…I hate to beat a dead horse, but it was Hillary who got beaten to the punch on this in 2008 by Obama operatives….and then she wanted to kick the table over.

MurphTheSurf3

Harleigh–I vote for “door number two”–bibi has been fearmongering; otherwise know as lying; all these years.

glenn

Harleigh…good that you remain open to alternatives….(hah!)

MurphTheSurf3

you bet he has glenn

Harleigh

Harleigh–but you gotta admit bibi’s little cartoon of a bomb going off, when he addressed congress, was just too cute!

glenn

Hey Harleigh if the new job doesn’t work out want to go do some Jew shaming with me? I agree that AIPAC is bad for the world

sillylittleme

Ad – thanks yup a long costly slog and the kids are the ones suffering. they are on permanent holiday…

sillylittleme

Ad….and Harleigh…the majority of Jewish leaders in this country have now come out in support of the deal…

MurphTheSurf3

Hola

funksands

Time for me to wrap it up tonight, good people. Take care and have a great weekend. Harleigh, try to stay out of the way of that storm, and good luck on the new job.

glenn

Murph – all the sane jews agree it is past time to renew relations with Iran. Israelis and Persians have a long amiable history…

sillylittleme

Night, glenn

pinkpantheroz

Nite Glenn have a great week

sillylittleme

thanks glenn

Harleigh

Ad…………..however he did it, he came into the late spring with 100 plus more delegates than she had.

MurphTheSurf3

My electoral project over the next year and change is to get good Dems everywhere to stop extolling the virtues of a declining deficit

funksands

Night Glenn

funksands

Funk…good for you. I would like to read more on that.

MurphTheSurf3

Funk – good luck with that. I agree that deficits and debt for a nation as a whole are largely imaginary. At any time we can print enough to pay all debts off and not have to print anymore for several decades…

sillylittleme

SLM gotta pay the bills first! lol

Harleigh

You can in some older posts I wrote in relation to MMT. But I’ll be actively working on it over the next several months in all social media platforms. That is probably the single biggest trick the GOP ever pulled over on the Democratic Party is getting them to be the party of declining deficits and not only that but being proud of it.

funksands

Harleigh – just an option

sillylittleme

Thanks SLM you’ve got of piece of the picture for sure

funksands

Well, I am hitting the road….this has been fun…I am going to another Trump event on Monday…..Dejavu….I followed the TeaParty in its early days too.

MurphTheSurf3

Night Murph, stay safe and sane

funksands

nite murph

Harleigh

g’night Murph. Bring your earplugs!

pinkpantheroz

Funk – I always say that money is a figment of our collective imagination. It need do nothing more than circulate.

sillylittleme

I leave you all with this searing image….

MurphTheSurf3

Night Murph LOL

sillylittleme

Wow, Murph!

pinkpantheroz

It isn’t whether a deficit is virtuous or not, but rather what you run a deficit for. The sooner the Dems become the party of running federal deficits for critical public purpose, the sooner we move out of the monetary dark ages and stop being a political prisoner to bullshit.

funksands

Money doesn’t grow on rich people

funksands

Ad – yes, but you have to convince others in order to spend it…

sillylittleme

Funk – spot on!!!

sillylittleme

I bet I’d be richer than Trump right now if I’d inherited $100 million dollars. Pretty disappointing performance if you ask me.

funksands

Gotta go. Cheers all, see you next week!

pinkpantheroz

Funk – totally agree and I think he made most of it selling his name and his TV career.

sillylittleme

nite PPO

Harleigh

Night Pink!

funksands

G’day Pink

sillylittleme

Well, I am off….take care all.

MurphTheSurf3

later murph

Harleigh

You too Murph

sillylittleme

Ad, Cheney let the cat out of the bag when he said “Deficits don’t matter”. He was alluding to what the moneyed class in DC already know.

funksands

Funk – and that was before the Iraq War…

sillylittleme

Run a deficit to rebuild every bridge in America. Don’ run a deficit to create a power vacuum in the ME

funksands

exactly funk

Harleigh

Funk – yes but how does that pour money into Halliburton?

sillylittleme

SLM I didn’t think of that. Good point

funksands

Trump is a textbook example of the dangers of dynastic wealth. We don’t need an estate tax to raise money, we need it to prevent Trumps

funksands

Exactly AD

funksands

Ad – he inherited property, not a lot of cash. he kept spending like it was coming in at the same rate as when he was a young man. Even Trump was impacted by tax rate cuts when Reagan became president. Funny, isn’t it?

sillylittleme

well i’m fallin asleep… see everyone next week an i’ll see about getting some other libs coming around too. nite folks

Harleigh

Night Haleigh. Smoke em if you got em

funksands

Nite Harleigh – have a good first week on the job and don’t forget to keep you and your weed dry!!

sillylittleme

But that limits free speech Ad. Why do you want billionaire kids to be born with less speech?

funksands

The founders intended the wealthy to pass on free speech to their kids

funksands

Here is the Trump Palin Interview:

MurphTheSurf3

Do you take BitCoin

funksands

Parting Gift!

MurphTheSurf3

Murph, that’s terrorism

funksands

Ad – of course he did. I still can’t find a picture of him in the movie Two Weeks Notice dressed as a clown. That would be fantastic. Hey Ad – do you work for/at a production company in LA?

sillylittleme

Just watching it…..these two were meant for each other….

MurphTheSurf3

They should make out on screen and then smoke cigarettes and fire machine guns

funksands

Murph – better you than me!!

sillylittleme

This time, for real

MurphTheSurf3

Funk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sillylittleme

Ad – I think if Trump wins he’s going for Sarah redux

sillylittleme

funksands

Ad – especially on his arm

sillylittleme

That happened at the end of the interview

funksands

Ad – sure why not?

sillylittleme

Ad, that’s true. Sarah is about 30 years too old for Donald

funksands

funksands

Ad, that was actually Trump’s recent Des Moines rally

funksands

You guys are hilarious.

MurphTheSurf3

while crapping his pants

funksands

I’ll be right back I’m laughing too hard and my bladder is screaming

sillylittleme

Ad – I like the one who kept saying and such, can’t we have her?

sillylittleme

funksands

Ad – you are too quick

sillylittleme

She’ll have us invading West Korea within a week

funksands

Funk – It’s East Korea, you know Far East

sillylittleme

Well folks I’ve got to go freshen my cocktail. Have lovely weekend. We’ve got 5 days of rain coming and boy howdy do we need it. Whole state is burning.

funksands

Night SLM

funksands

Funk – stay funny and safe

sillylittleme

Night Ad

funksands

Thanks ya kindly.

funksands

LOL

funksands

12″?

sillylittleme

So Ad how was your week?

sillylittleme

I still can’t get over the Trump in MA thing. The son of one of the most popular car dealerships who has taken over within the past decade took a huge dump on his father’s legacy.

sillylittleme

I actually had a pretty good week. Great weather, connecting up with some old friends and actually slept 8 hours last night.

sillylittleme

Ad – ya but this putz has just expanded, I guess he’ll be filing for bankruptcy soon, tee hee he

sillylittleme

Yup, pre-fall closet clean out. Clothing donation and then I go shopping.

sillylittleme

Ad – he made it from TV and selling his name, some from creating an app, it is lunacy to allow this to continue

sillylittleme

Well that sounds like fun. I envy your out of door activity compared to my likely stuck indoors for hours activity.

sillylittleme

I still suspect he’s pulling a trick somehow. Who the joke is on remains to be seen…

sillylittleme

Yes but to what end? What about the conservadems? Are they gonna reform a moderate republican party?

sillylittleme

I agree it is long past time to destroy the republicans they are such a cancer

sillylittleme

If humanity survives, they will be studying this era for a long time to come

sillylittleme

If I was Reince Preibus, I’d resign and let them elect someone else.

sillylittleme

Yes, but how will development impact the great expanses of open land left? And what of the quality of air, etc. It isn’t going to be easy having mass migrations…

sillylittleme

A lobbying firm? He can hand out checks to Congress

sillylittleme

Gerrymandering will be reversed in 2020. I assumed you meant MFers. LOL

sillylittleme

We need all able bodies to the voting booth this year and two years later.

sillylittleme

Who is Lawrence Lessig? I keep meaning to ask you that?

sillylittleme

I just think it isn’t as rosy a picture as you think. The scientific community is starting to get loud…

sillylittleme

So Lessig? Any clue?

sillylittleme

Is he running for president? Or is he working to get Citizens’ United overturned?

sillylittleme

Oh, I keep seeing people talk about him, I was just wondering.

sillylittleme

Would he make a good president?

sillylittleme

I did sign up a while ago when he started a campaign against CU, I just didn’t realize that he was running. Just wondered whether he was gaining any traction and if he had more than one issue to offer the public.

sillylittleme

Why do you think Biden is taking so long to decide whether to get in or not

sillylittleme

Then why even think about it. If he knows that he is being set up to fail why take the risk?

sillylittleme

Ok it’s just about one here. So I will say adieu. Have a great week Ad and have fun hanging with your daughter and her teammates.

sillylittleme
