Ban the Bannon!

Hey Murph!

So, any doubt that racism is a winning issue for Trump?

AdLib 2 hours ago

The blacks like him.

That I great news Murph! I’m thinking that the percentages will actually keep moving towards Hillary and Dems, not tighten as the typically do.

AdLib 2 hours ago

Hey glenn!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Doing well!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Murph, might it not be ridiculously ironic that Hillary’s candidacy is co-responsible for bringing Repubs into and working with the Dems?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Murph, and we have the RW extremists to thank for growing the Dem party!

Pence is in the end, a desperate fool who looks just like one. He couldn’t win re-election in IN and partnered with an obvious loon. He deserves to have his career buried.

AdLib 2 hours ago

As from Mary Poppins, “TrumPence, Trumpence, Trumpence, a bag..gers.”

So will Bannon choke his current wife if Trump loses?

AdLib 2 hours ago

I’ve always disliked the long and obscenely expensive election cycle but in this case, it’s protected the country because it’s allowed Trump to bury himself in bigotry and burn into the minds of Americans how horrible and hateful he is. So…this is an exception election.

If Melania gets choked, she may pass out while saying, “I alvays depended on ze kindness of strangers. Zat’s my original line too.”

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – Yes but thanks to the MSM cheerleading for Trump, he was the shiny new toy for everyone who wanted change. Thankfully, as time has passed, those sleazy MSM outlets have had to turn on him or lose their viewers. Except Fox and Breitbart of course.

glenn – What we need to accept is that being a Republican is like belonging to a religion for between 35% – 40% of the country. They can’t change who they’ll vote for anymore than they could change their religion (to becoming Muslim!). Once we who have the ability of critical thinking accept that there are many Americans who haven’t been taught or learned those skills at least when it comes to politics, we can understand a lot more of what’s going on out there.

Whoops, hope this hacked picture doesn’t get out:

Just to be clear, the AP was bought a while back by conservatives and often slants the stories it puts out. It is not a non-partisan entity anymore and anything that comes out through it should be taken with a grain of salt.

AdLib 2 hours ago

glenn – The good thing is that the voters coming up are more Progressive so as the nation’s voter base changes each year, it’s all moving in the right direction. I think California is a model of how the nation as a whole will go, where Progressive policies solve problems and Repubs become banished to being a minority party.

Hey PPO!!! How is Fergie feeling?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Murph – Wish I could take credit for it but just found the photo on the web. It was just what I was imagining though when I looked for it, if that’s any consolation.

AdLib 2 hours ago

PPO – Is there no other PT facility she can go to?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Reuters seems to be “normal” and non-partisan.

AdLib 2 hours ago

PPO – Good! That’s a lot to have on your shoulders!

AdLib 2 hours ago

PPO – And isn’t it ironic that instead of Germany, it’s the American news service that supports neo-nazis?

AdLib 2 hours ago

One of Trump’s brags is that he’ll hire all the best people. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a Presidential campaign that’s gone through 3 campaign managers, all of whom were toxic, two of whom physically abused women and one of whom was a Russian agent. Now his campaign “CEO” is a racist, propagandizing xenophobe. Imagine how insane his cabinet would be?

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – Actually, it sounds like the GOP primary. Once the GE started, as I’ve said all along, Trump would be exposed for his bigotry and go down in flames.

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – The Khan attacks by Trump seems to have cracked Trump’s facade for Repubs and now many are seeing that just about every claim he’s made has been a con. Even his bragging about success as a businessman is proving to be a fraud, 6 bankruptcies, noot 3 and his yuuge indebtedness to China and likely Russia. He’s failed up for years and now it’s catching up with him. I think many Repubs are finally catching onto what a con man he is and though they may not want Hillary, they may not vote at all. I think turnout for Dems this year will be big and for Repubs, will be depressed…as most Repubs will be by the time their losing candidate finally gets to Nov.

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – Like it, that’s funny but true!

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – I do hate that we have to sit through 73 more days of Trump obnoxiousness and hatred but knowing it can only wear down Repub voters and discourage them from voting…helping Dems retake the Senate as well, it’s a price I’m willing to pay.

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – 100% right and hope Hillary nails Trump on that in the debates, that the health BS is sexist, woman hating. “Yep, women are too weak to be President, right Mr. Trump?” She should stomp him on that.

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – Why do you think so many Repubs are calling for Trump to show his taxes? Because it hurts their ability to attack Hillary as not being transparent? Hard for me to believe it’s because they’re actually scared that he’s owned by China or Russia but could be that too I suppose.

AdLib an hour ago

Night glenn! Have a great weekend!

AdLib an hour ago

Just a follow up on glenn’s point, I don’t think GOTV will be difficult for Dems, minorities and women are very energized and facing the prospect of Trump actually winning the election is going to motivate Dems to vote far more widely than the prospect of a Republican-friendly Hillary winning.

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – I don’t mean to be insulting but it seems kind of crazy for Repubs to claim they are calling for Trump’s taxes due to standing on principle yet are supporting an incompetent Russian/Chinese leveraged racist as their party’s nominee.

AdLib an hour ago

KT – Exactly! Can you imagine if Hillary’s campaign manager was a Russian agent? Would Repubs have been as unbothered about that? He’s a traitor to the very patriotism they claim to put above everything. Crazy!

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – That is fantastic to hear! Tammy is the embodiment of what it means to be a brave and determined American who served the country, she deserves all the support she gets of vets.

AdLib an hour ago

KT – Being a Senator doesn’t really require admin or exec experience, some of the great Senators haven’t had that. Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren, on and on. It takes good sense, strength of character, principles and the smarts to build consensus.

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – We’ve said this since the GOP primary, Trump would destroy the GOP. But seeing it actually happening is surreal.

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – So impressed with Tammy!

AdLib an hour ago

All the best, Murph!

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – It’s exactly the kind of speech I had hoped she would do, was very pleased about it.

AdLib an hour ago

KT – This is what GOP Implosion looks like.

AdLib an hour ago

Seeya next week guys!
