Hey! I suspect we’ve met before, somewhere in the space time continuum!
KillgoreTrout

Jenuwin

KillgoreTrout

Not bad, at all, my friend!
KillgoreTrout

Hi Murph! Welcome to the Planet

Welcome 955

howdy KT Surfs UP
MurphTheSurf3

KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Hey Jenuwin! Thanks for helping out tonight!
AdLib 7 days ago
Hey Murph and KT!
AdLib 7 days ago
Glad to meet you J.
MurphTheSurf3

ad, are you a ghost this evening, or the host?
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Hi Ad
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Sure Ad Lib….and no you don’t seem slow Kilgore! Same here Murph!
Jenuwin
7 days ago
So is Trump following Hillary’s ideal script or what?
AdLib 7 days ago
good…I was wondering…sarcastically!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
I’m not sure why, but I’m in a bit of a filpant mood! Oh noooes!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
How do you think Trump did in the debate?
Jenuwin
7 days ago
Oh, That’s why!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Hating on women, a Latina and attacking a private citizen for gaining weight? And attacking Hillary, who was cheated on, for her husband’s infidelity?
AdLib 7 days ago
Is there really any serious question as to who won the debate? OMG!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
I still know people (religious) who are voting for him no matter what
Jenuwin
7 days ago
TRump acted exactly like the 5 year old in a 2000 dollar suit that he is!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
KT – In the Trump bubble, Trump crushed it.
AdLib 7 days ago
J…. stand with the actual polls..she win big time and he lost bigger time.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
That’s because they are fools. Religion was born when the first con man met the first fool!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Jenuwin, yep, you can’t change the minds of the mindless.
AdLib 7 days ago
I guess not
Jenuwin
7 days ago
J….do your religious friends worship Baal?
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
maybe
Jenuwin
7 days ago
oh yeah, He could murder someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single supporter Long live Pepe!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Very happy to see Hillary getting a big bump and on top in NV and FL.
AdLib 7 days ago
Yo! Baal
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
yes Ad Lib and very happy to see a lot of conservative newspaper editors get behind her
Jenuwin
7 days ago
The clown prince and the frog.
AdLib 7 days ago
No maybe. They don’t think, they emote. There is no rebuttal to that.
KillgoreTrout

Welcome Glenn and Harleigh
Jenuwin
7 days ago
Hi, Glenn
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Ah, the gang’s all here! Joy!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Hi folks!
Harleigh
7 days ago
Hi Harleigh
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Jen – I think much more needs to be made of Trump getting ZERO newspaper endorsements, hasn’t happened before in our Presidential history. It means something profound!
AdLib 7 days ago
Hey Harleigh…you old reprobate! 
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Hey Harleigh!
AdLib 7 days ago
Hey Jenuwin, Murph, Harleigh, Ad, KT. How’s everyone tonight? New name for the trumplethinskin: Mango Mussolini!
glenn
7 days ago
Ad and Zero Fortune 400 company CEO’s
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
It is profound, but the sad thing is, I don’t think the idiots who are voting for Trump actually read newspapers
Jenuwin
7 days ago
Hey glenn!
AdLib 7 days ago
Nice to meet you, Jeuwin.
glenn
7 days ago
I think Trump has really lost it. Hillary really got under his skin in the dabates, so much so, that “The Donald,” is hanging himself daily!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
oops, Jenuwin
glenn
7 days ago
Hey glenn! Was up?
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
KT–Do you think he will lose any votes?
glenn
7 days ago
Glenn…2 great names. Trumplestiltskin and Mango Mussolini!
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
The Big Yam!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
KT–not much up with me. I see by the previous comments you’re relaxing!
glenn
7 days ago
He did bad because a bad mic was planted and then got tough questions from that liberal Holt. it is all their fault and then they quote me verbatim! wah wah wah.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Can Trump rebound from his debate disaster with 38 days left? Does it matter now if Trump does better at a debate? Hasn’t he already confirmed he’s a jackass?
AdLib 7 days ago
Thanks, Murph. Wish I could say I came up with them, but they’re two names I saw on other blogs. They are very fitting, though.
glenn
7 days ago
Maybe glenn, probably some women. Trump just can’t comprehend that women are people too, and have real feelings, just like men do.
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
tRump cares about no one but Trump, and the daughter he wants to hump!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Ad….what of the senate?
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Ad–the problem is, IMO, trump confirmed he is a jackass when he descended that escalator 15 months ago.
glenn
7 days ago
trump has 2 more rounds yet!!! hahahahahaha so long fucktard!!!
Harleigh
7 days ago
Murph–speaking of the Senate, did you see where McConnell blamed Obama for the over ride of his veto on suing the Saudis?
glenn
7 days ago
I bet that yammering circus peanut trie to weasel out of any more debates. The last one seems to have sent him into orbit. around what planet, no one knows.
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Harleigh–what preparations do you think trump will make for the next two? Watching porn tapes?
glenn
7 days ago
Murph – the polls now are turning back to favoring Dems for The Senate.
AdLib 7 days ago
Glenn…MxConnell has to be excused he is hardly ever there and he needs a lot more direction.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
He’s doing that now, glenn! He wants all of us to watch along.
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
trump is dumber than any of us…. acts like he’s grade schooler. scary that millions are following him. same for magachurches.
Harleigh
7 days ago
A real psychopath. I’m not kidding!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Ad–that’s good news for the Senate.
glenn
7 days ago
Ad…are they?
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph–and now that they have admitted that they are dumbasses by overriding the veto, they are now in recess until after the election.
glenn
7 days ago
glenn there is no way in hell to cram all the knowledge he needs in a few days. he’s done if he doesn’t get elected.
Harleigh
7 days ago
KT–so, if we watch, will we become orange like him?
glenn
7 days ago
Gleen..the senate was in session for 18 days this summer
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph – Yep! The Senate depends on Hillary having momentum/a decent lead. When she had a 2% or worse lead, it swung to Repubs. At 4% or better,it swings to Dems.
AdLib 7 days ago
Harleigh–there is no way trump will let them give him knowledge. He’s allergic to it, I think.
glenn
7 days ago
lol yep
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad…good analysis….metric works…
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph–sad, isn’t it? Yet they talk about poor people who are “moochers”.
glenn
7 days ago
How do any of the next two debates undo the confirmation Trump provides in the first that he is misogynist? Attacking Hillary on Bill’s affairs will only make it worse.
AdLib 7 days ago
Glenn…yes.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Ad–how does any sane person in this universe think that attacking Hillary on Bill’s affairs is a good thing?
glenn
7 days ago
As long as Trump believes he’s the smartest guy in the room, any room mind you, he will continue to bury himself. He doesn’t know the very basic wisdom that says…the more you realize what you DON’t know, the closer you are to intelligence!
KillgoreTrout
7 days ago
Ad…..Trump has NEVER done a town hall like he is going to have to do in a week and the word is that he is doing no more prep now than before.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
glenn – Ask Ailes or Bannon or Giuliani? It’s coming from one or more of them.
AdLib 7 days ago
KT–and that’s a good thing for Dems for trump to believe he’s smart. He just keeps proving over and over how dumb he is.
glenn
7 days ago
i love their favorite line of bullshit, ‘2/3 of murikkkans are not working an paying taxes those mooches’.!! LOLyeah lots of children and old or disabled people not workin.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Murph–I saw on Daily KOS today that there’s a site you can go to that allows you to post a question you’d like to ask. You can also vote on the top 10 questions you think should be asked. It was very interesting what some of the top 10 were.
glenn
7 days ago
Murph and KT – I think Trump will do a lot of prep but they will lie this time that he’s not. They need him to exceed expectations…even though his probable attacks on Hillary and discomfort with the town hall format will hurt him.
AdLib 7 days ago
Ad….when the man does not prep for depositions under oath…I think it is pretty clear that there is nothing that is gong to move him to do what he hates doing.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
The site is PresidentialOpenQuestions.com.
glenn
7 days ago
Glenn…I saw that….i wonder how many ?????’s they get?
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Harleigh – that lie should be blown up by Hillary. If 1/3 of the country was unemployed and mooching, we’d be in worse shape than Greece.
AdLib 7 days ago
He’s a ignernt grade skool bully…. she is gonna cream him but he’ll deflect with really stoopid gradeskool bullshit. Palin did it alot! LOL
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad–the serial adulterers want to hit Hillary with Bill’s affairs, even though B&H have stayed together. Got it!
glenn
7 days ago
Glenn…but Gingrich and Giuliani are there to show the way…
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph – Seems a potent argument for Hillary to point out that it is his policy, his mandate to be unprepared. Do we really want a President who is unprepared on a daily basis, let alone if a crisis arises?
AdLib 7 days ago
ghouliani, trump, newty and limpbag are all on their 3rd wives.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad..she laid the ground work for that in Debate one did she not?
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Ad–so, will trump “exceed expectations” if he doesn’t interrupt Hillary? The expectations for trump are always so low, so he can always “exceed” them. Of course, he managed to not do that Monday night. Saw a foxsocallednews poll that showed that 61% of viewers thought Hillary won the debate!
glenn
7 days ago
Ad–he may be unprepared, but he’s up at 3 a.m. to answer the call when it comes. That’s what he said today in a tweet.
glenn
7 days ago
Glenn…the town hall format is going to really put a lot of strain on him.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
AD.. the people they are refering to never work.. children, elderly, etc… they can’t…. that who they count as ‘unemployed’ LOL Every country has them…. society.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Harleigh–and among those 2/3’s of Americans is trump, who thinks it’s “smart” to not pay taxes. So those people aren’t “moochers”, they’re “smart”, according to trump.
glenn
7 days ago
Glenn that tweet about answering the call was likely not his.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Ad–so much strain that he bleeds out of his whatever?
glenn
7 days ago
glenn, Trump cheated on his 1st wife, has married 3 times so far, is surrounded by Giuliani who cheated and remarried, Gingrich who cheated and remarried 3 times, Bannon who beat his wife and Ailes who sexually harassed women for decades. Really?
AdLib 7 days ago
Murph–oh, did it come from one of his surrogates?
glenn
7 days ago
trump had cokesnot coming out of his where eveah!!
Harleigh
7 days ago
Glenn…I think one of the campaign staff…
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Yes Murph, time to drop the hammer next debate.
AdLib 7 days ago
Ad..Boom!
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Ad–I know. So, I’m still trying to figure out why they think it’s a good strategy to go after Hillary for Bill’s affairs.
glenn
7 days ago
It does not make any sense to adults glenn.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad and Murph–I hope one of the questions is an actual policy question. Hillary will blow trump out of the water. All someone needs to ask him is how he will bring jobs back. His answer at the debate was, “They never should have left”, which doesn’t answer the question at all.
glenn
7 days ago
Harleigh–you’re right. I forgot the ages of the people who are floating this crap!
glenn
7 days ago
Welll…I am fading very fast and must leave early…long week…
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
glenn – I think Trump staying on the attack against Hillary will be deemed as exceeding expectations. Only if she gets him blathering on defense will he be dissed. The MSM wants Trump to comeback in the next debate.
AdLib 7 days ago
nite Miurph
Harleigh
7 days ago
Glenn..like your qquestion…
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
G’night Murph. Sleep well.
glenn
7 days ago
Get some rest Murph! Live chat for the VP debate on Tues.
AdLib 7 days ago
Get rest Murph
Jenuwin
7 days ago
Ad–by “staying on attack” against Hillary, they mean bring up emails and Benghazi, right? I thought Hillary’s answer on her emails at the debate was very good. What more do the repubs want?
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – I agree, Hillary should attack Trump on killing Obamacare and throwing 12 million off health insurance, creating huge inflation and burying the country in trillions of debt.
AdLib 7 days ago
Moderators have a hard time getting the bully to shut the fuck up…. but he usually starts fuckin up and going off the rails after he says it 2 – 3 times so occasionally let him wander on like Obama did to romoney.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad–and she should also keep hammering him on his tax plan, which will blow up the deficit, and lose jobs. Her plan will add to the deficit, but will bring in about 15 million jobs. At least, I think that’s the figure. These are analyses by independent economic organizations.
glenn
7 days ago
Harleigh–I know, when he kept interrupting Hillary, she might as well have said, “Please proceed, Donald.”
glenn
7 days ago
Glenn, emails, Benghazi and Bill’s affairs. She should sabotage him by ignoring it all and calling him out to audience on only having gutter attacks to win the Presidency instead of any real plans.
AdLib 7 days ago
Ad–I’m not the only one who keeps saying she should not answer his taunts, but should just keep talking about her policies. Nothing gets under his thin skin more than when he’s ignored.
glenn
7 days ago
His secret ISIS plan was HYSTERICAL! HRC can point him to the 25,000 pounds of congressional paper bullshit over 3 – 7 years ago. LOL
Harleigh
7 days ago
Harleigh–I think moderators should keep asking him about the birther issue, and keep telling him he’s wrong about Hillary’s campaign starting it. That was priceless at the debate.
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – yes and by not defending herself from these over exploited issues, she undercuts them.
AdLib 7 days ago
Harleigh–and dontcha know Hillary hasn’t destroyed ISIS (singlehandedly) in 30 years! Damn, she’s one lazy woman!
glenn
7 days ago
the BC issue needs to be kept up front and their total lack of anything on benghazi and emailomania.
Harleigh
7 days ago
And how about Trump’s slush fund of a charity?
AdLib 7 days ago
Harleigh–I like that emailomania. Good one.
glenn
7 days ago
LOL use it everywhere Glenn!
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad–you mean the one that he didn’t register so it couldn’t be audited? But if you don’t register it, you can’t solicit money. What a putz!
glenn
7 days ago
Ad–what happened to jenuwin?
glenn
7 days ago
I’m still here, just enjoying the conversation
Jenuwin
7 days ago
And don’t forget the “pay for play” attacks he’ll launch on the CGI.
AdLib 7 days ago
Jenuwin–okay, good to know.
glenn
7 days ago
Jenuwin
7 days ago
Ad–you mean the “pay for play” that never happened? That once again, repubs can’t prove anything?
glenn
7 days ago
Maybe charges get filed against Trump charity in October?
AdLib 7 days ago
Ad–that would be a nice “October surprise” for Hillary.
glenn
7 days ago
But trump then says he’ll make better deals, all new deals… and the other countries must pay more for our protection, amazing deals cause he has the best brain.
Harleigh
7 days ago
he’s cracked! cuckoo!
Harleigh
7 days ago
glenn – Exactly, there was no “play” and the only “pay” was a legit charitable donation. Trump is a real “pay for play” with his payoffs to politicians and his benefitting from it.
AdLib 7 days ago
Harleigh–right. So we’re going to renegotiate all of our treaties and agreements with other countries. That sounds like a plan. When will he have time to build the wall? Or vet all those Muslim refugees?
glenn
7 days ago
Trump said all violent crime and racism ends once he’s elected. He has no reservations promising the most absurd things, he’s the moron’s candidate.
AdLib 7 days ago
Harleigh–and can you imagine if pence has any say in the renegotiating? If the countries “allow” abortion, then we can’t negotiate with them at all, because they are “heathens”. I swear, these people just don’t make any sense.
glenn
7 days ago
well glen he’s getting it from his new generals and if they don’t pan out with plans he likes the he’ll go down to the general store and get new one!!! yep.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad–oh that’s right. All crime will be solved in two weeks as long as we reinstate “stop and frisk.” I forgot abut that. In what world do those morons think that’s even possible?
glenn
7 days ago
this whole trump campaign is totally whackdoodle.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Harleigh–“go down to the general store”. Love it.
glenn
7 days ago
And getting more whackadoodly by the minute.
glenn
7 days ago
stop frisk and confiscate is his plan. what a moron.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Yeah, he’s going to take away guns. Does that mean he wants to abolish the 2nd amendment?
glenn
7 days ago
Most of his stupid shit is totally unconstitutional.
Harleigh
7 days ago
There actually is an ad running now here in GA that shows an elderly woman who has a gun in her safe, and says that Hillary is going to come take away all your guns, so that this poor old lady won’t be able to defend herself from the hordes of criminals just waiting to invade her home.
glenn
7 days ago
yep, mexicans and ISIS!
Harleigh
7 days ago
Is it running in FL too?
glenn
7 days ago
Only one thing breaks through Trump’s bubble, dropping in polls. He’s desperate now, I think he gets super-aggressive in next debate and gives up on looking Presidential. And in a townhall, it will make for a very uncomfortable situation.
AdLib 7 days ago
they have run with that stupid shit for 8 years now.
Harleigh
7 days ago
glenn, I’ve seen that ad on cable, it’s by the NRA and so ridiculous.
AdLib 7 days ago
they’re gonna take all our guns!!! The dimwits of texass activated their national guard!! bwahahaha
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad–I agree. He’s losing it big time! It will be interesting to see how his aggressiveness goes overr with a “mixed” crowd, people who aren’t his rabid supporters.
glenn
7 days ago
well I gotta get to bed. later folks.
Harleigh
7 days ago
Ad–that’s right, it is the NRA. Those people have lost their minds, too.
glenn
7 days ago
‘Nite, Harleigh. Great chatting with you as usual.
glenn
7 days ago
thx, you too
Harleigh
7 days ago
Seeya Harleigh!
AdLib 7 days ago
glenn – it’s absolutely the wrong forum for aggressive attacks.
AdLib 7 days ago
My turn to say “goodnight”. Hope to see you on Tuesday for the vp debate. That one ought to be good, too. I think Kaine will run circles around Pence.
glenn
7 days ago
Night glenn! See you then!
AdLib 7 days ago
Ad–Yup, it is. But don’t tell trump that!
glenn
7 days ago
good night Glenn
Jenuwin
7 days ago
G’night genuwin.
glenn
7 days ago
Okay, guess it’s time to wrap Vox for the night! Thanks to all for a great chat! And thanks Jenuwin for co-hosting!
AdLib 7 days ago
Thanks Ad!
Jenuwin
7 days ago
Night!
AdLib 7 days ago
nighty night
