Vox Populi – 3-10-2017

hey Ad! back soon for the mayhem!

pinkpantheroz

pinkpantheroz

I wish I’d said this: Trump taking credit for Obama’s economy is like someone inheriting millions from his dad and bragging about what a smart businessman he is.

pinkpantheroz

Evening, Ad and g’day, PPO.

glenn

hi, glenn. How are you this warm afternoon?!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–not to mention that the unemployment numbers are “real” now, they were “phony” when PBO was in office. Of course, nothing has changed about the computation of those numbers; just our so-called president now saying they’re “real”. SMH!

glenn

Doing well, PPO. How about you?

glenn

fine at present, glenn. usual aches and pains, like all old fogeys!

pinkpantheroz

Reports here that SCROTUS will be asking Merckel how to handle Russia when she visits soon!

pinkpantheroz

Well, yeah, we old fogeys all have aches and pains….but any day above ground is a good one, eh?

glenn

glenn, yup, seeing the flowers from above is good

pinkpantheroz

PPO–Yeah, I saw that too about Merkel. Guess the press will now gush all over him about how “presidential” he is being.

glenn

abrogating USA’s position as#1 country

pinkpantheroz

Ad–how are you? What do you think about those now “real” job numbers?

glenn

Ad–he may ask Merkel what she thinks; doesn’t mean he will agree with it, right?

glenn

glenn, I thought that His Nibs knew already the best way to do deals with Russia. Yet another lie, from the looks of it

pinkpantheroz

C’mon, Ad, get with the program! Today Seanie told the press that the numbers before were phony, but February’s are real. Did you miss that? So, the great orange one speaks, and everything is fixed!

glenn

agree, Ad. She doesn’t have to show who is the stronger leader.

pinkpantheroz

PPO–He does know the best way; he’s just asking Merkel to be “inclusive”, dontcha know?

glenn

When Flynn was campaigning with Trump to put “America first,” he was also being paid $500k to put Turkey first

pinkpantheroz

Ad–thinks what will help her? Meeting with our so-called president? Or giving him advice? From what I read, it’s just the orange one’s PR team putting forth some nonsense, as usual. Don’t think Merkel has responded in any way.

glenn

pinkpantheroz

PPO–no, no, Flynn wasn’t putting Turkey first; he was just using that as a backup.

glenn

Here’s hoping, Ad.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I don’t think there’s a lot of thinking involved. It’s just gut reaction, and the “art of the deal.” I read recently that in his book, he actually said that you have to inflate/exaggerate the bad, so that when the deal is done, you come out looking like a winner. It’s all about perception; facts have nothing to do with it. So, what’s a little lying between “friends”?

glenn

Ad–in Merkel’s defense, she’s kind of damned if she does, and damned if she doesn’t. If she refuses to meet with the president of one of Germany’s allies, she would probably get creamed by her opponents. Then again, she’s likely to get creamed by her supporters by having the meeting. Do you know who initiated the meeting…her or him?

glenn

Ad–but Flynn was taking money from Turkey BEFORE he was fired. He was working for them during the election; he filed papers “retroactively.”

glenn

Hey, have you seen Roger Stone’s admission he spoke with the DNC hacker? Why’s he not in jail?

pinkpantheroz

The miasma of stench from the WH gets ever stronger

pinkpantheroz

HArleigh!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I’m not so sure that repubs will be despised if ryan’s plan passes. The orange one (I just cannot call him the president) is going to hold rallies to drum up support for trumpcare. And, if the plan doesn’t pass, or even if it does, they’re going to blame it on the Dems. They say that Obamacare will fail, (and, of course, they’ll pass legislation to make sure it does fail), and so then Dems didn’t help to get trumpcare passed, AND Dems are the ones who wouldn’t “fix” Obamacare. The pubs have their strategy of blaming someone else already in place.

glenn

hey floks!

Harleigh

folks… lol

Harleigh

What about us Floks?

pinkpantheroz

Hey Harleigh–I kinda like being a “flok”. We are the POV “flok”. How are you?

glenn

LOL

Harleigh

Ad–I doubt it, too. And, we certainly can’t depend on Congress to do anything. Republicans rule, and don’t you forget it!

glenn

Doing ok, made it thru another week without having to neutralize anyone.

Harleigh

H, don’t know if you sound happy or sad!

pinkpantheroz

Little Jeffie Sessions will suddenly shock the whole fucking world and start charging… these… shit…. never mind… that was a acid flash.

Harleigh

yep muhahaha

Harleigh

Ad–well they’ll just keep changing the goalposts with trumpcare. After all, the new repub line is that this isn’t about insurance; it’s about government intervention in our private lives, or some such nonsense like that. Plus, poor people can still go to the ER, and they don’t need insurance anyway. Those are just some of the excuses I’ve heard so far. So, if trumpcare passes, and I really think it will, despite all the supposed opposition from repubs, it will be deemed a success. One, because it passed, and two, because repubs passed it.

glenn

CBO says it will kill 10’s of thousands of lives and cost more for less but they are still calculating and that takes tons of work.

Harleigh

Ad–here’s hoping Dems can get voted in. After this past presidential election, I’m not very hopeful. And, not so sure how the Dem ground game is going, either, despite the new DNC chair. I live in the 6th district in GA (Price’s district), and I haven’t seen anything from the Dems yet. And the election is April 18th, I think.

glenn

Ad–here’s hoping the intell community lets out that information at the right time. Would that be part of PBO’s “shadow government”?

glenn

getting dems to run especially in the gerrymandered red states is a challenge unless the rural whites and blue collar see what is happening.

Harleigh

glenn, great ‘Shadow Coup’ that Pres. Obama perpetrated. So shadow, you can’t see it at all. Of course it is still all Obama’s fault!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–not only a nightmare for repubs, but for the poor people of the US. I still don’t have as much hope as you do that it will translate into votes for Dems, though.

glenn

true AD… a fellow DEM in OK just got elected by those people. I was fucking speechless. oklahoma!!?

Harleigh

Harleigh–I agree. I’ve lived in GA for almost six years now, and voted in every election that has been held. There are some races that don’t even have a Dem running; the only people running are repubs. That’s what I mean about the Dems getting their ground game going. They don’t seem to be nurturing candidates to run against the repubs.

glenn

Ad–I know that Ossoff has a lot of money. But it’s mostly from Daily KOS readers, not the Dems. Anyway, you have to give me a boost now and then; I’m just not hopeful about Dems in GA.

glenn

Sorry, ad, what’s the IC?

pinkpantheroz

Well DOLT45 did have a few million invisible ninjas the lirul media didn’t report on and all those women just showed up a day late right?

Harleigh

Ad–I’m hoping that you’re right, and I’m being a “nabob of negativity”. Just bear with me, and keep giving me hope.

glenn

never give up glenn. ever.

Harleigh

Ad–according to Robert Reich, trump has already committed four impeachable offenses. Once again, my negativity about Congress comes to bear. It seems that trump can do anything he wants, and Congress will not impeach him. Don’t know if the tide will turn, but right now, it doesn’t seem so. Hopefully, when we get closer to the 2018 elections, and repubs have to save their skins, we may see some movement towards impeachment, but…damn, 2018 seems a long way away!

glenn

Harleigh–I’m not giving up…just trying to be realistic.

glenn

YUUUUGE FAIL!

That’s NOT a Shamrock, but a 4 leaf clover!

pinkpantheroz

Yeah well AD we’ve ‘known’ each other awhile and remember times that the likes of Dana Perino had to spin and yap for Bush43 for a week for 1 of his flubs. Conway and Spicer have to come up with 10 lies a day for drumpf. It’s a shitstorm.

Harleigh

Ad–you’re correct; Dems are making progress, but it is a long road! Perhaps, I’m just playing devil’s advocate tonight. And make no mistake, the repubs are the devils, as far as I’m concerned. Any party that can vote to add billions to our defense budget, yet vote to strip millions of people from health care and gloat over it, are devils in my book!

glenn

Thanks, Ad.

pinkpantheroz

fab shot that, Ad!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–Glad to hear there are some Dems on the ground here.

glenn

pinkpantheroz

pinkpantheroz

oops!

pinkpantheroz

PPO–that cap was picture perfect. What a orange moran!

glenn

PPO–That teeshirt is great!

glenn

But AD, how do you count all those white areas of millions KKK members dressed white robes??

Harleigh

glenn, not surprisingly, they’ve taken down the page!

pinkpantheroz

Harleigh, if each KKK moron occupies 1 square foot of space, simple maths!

pinkpantheroz

yes, Ad, but who? No one coming up the turnpike so far.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I hope you’re correct that repubs will lose big in 2018. Just a long way away. I probably need to stop reading what’s going on; go into a news “coma” until next year or so when the races start to heat up. I’ll be better soon, thanks for keeping me hopeful.

glenn

PPO–who took down the page? Twitter?

glenn

PPO–the page of the tee shirts? Or the page of the hats?

glenn

The hats were taken down by the GOP! Too friggin late! Hehehehe ( sniggers like Muttley)

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I know you’re correct about trump being impeached. My problem is I want him to be impeached NOW before he does much more damage to my country. Because, damn it, this is my country just as much as the right wing nut jobs!

glenn

Hey folks!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hey, FD!

pinkpantheroz

wazz up P?

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hey Ad! How you be?

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO–speaking of things being taken down, did you see where Congress is scolding trump for deleting his misspelled tweets? Seems that now he’s president, all public “correspondence”, such as his stupid tweets, have to be preserved and archived by law. Of course, following the law is not one of trump’s strong suits, as we all know.

glenn

The hats are now undocumented and have been deported.

pinkpantheroz

The senate is a possibility in 18 but the red state gerrymandering I don’t see taking the house but it should close the gap for 2020 and the census!

Harleigh

Hey Fuzzy-how’s it going?

glenn

Hey Floridian, how goes it?

Fuzzy Dunlop

Glenn, always a delight to see ya. I’m doing fine.

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO–and the kings in Nigeria will be wearing them soon!

glenn

hey KT! I been spreading DOLT45 on all my travels! thx

Harleigh

yes, glenn. Fuckface constantly thumbs his nose at the law and no one has the cojones to insist he doesn’t. Sad.

pinkpantheroz

Fucking great Harleigh. It is so fitting.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Always good to see you, too, FD.

glenn

Fuzzy Dunlop

but but…. AG jeffie Sessions will charge them right????

Harleigh

I don’t think that duplicitous old cracker will be around, this time next year. I certainly hope that is the case.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad–that’s what I hope for the most…that trump gets tired of “playing president” and goes away. I’d write his speech for him and even blame Obama for it, as long as he goes away!

glenn

FD–which duplicitous old cracker? There seem to be so many of them in Washington, nowadays.

glenn

I was never into the Christian teaching of “love thine enemy.” I think it is bad advice.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Jeffery Beuaregard Sessions.

Fuzzy Dunlop

BRB

glenn

I love how Dolt45 takes credit for all things he has had no part of like the continue of job growth and stock market records..

Harleigh

Beauregard? Must be near whuppin time on the ol’ plantation. what a schmuk

pinkpantheroz

I’m doing well, Ad. The mom and I are doing what moms and sons should be doing, at this stage of her life. A bit trying, because of hearing loss and very poor vision, and scetchy memory, but we’re together. That’s what counts.

Fuzzy Dunlop

I hope so AD… it sure would help the rural white folks at what all they are losing…..

Harleigh

Yeah P. A classic cracker nom de plume!

Fuzzy Dunlop

I see Sean Spicer had a Freudian Slip wearing his US pin upside down. an Upside down flag is an international distress signal

pinkpantheroz

super rich white trash

Harleigh

Maybe Spicey is secretly calling for help, P!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Everything is about him, Ad. Surely you know that by now.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD, I do wonder sometimes how he puts up with the spin and the scorn he engenders.

pinkpantheroz

Future financial security.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Yeah, ad. it’s just a sad part of life. Mom is one of the strongest women I have ever known. That includes Maggie Thatcher, Hillary, Harriet Tubman…etc.

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO drumpf never hears about any of the shit and contempt people have for him now and its growing. His aides and kids tell him only positive alternative facts.

Harleigh

Bring back Melissa McC. She traumatizes Spicey.

Fuzzy Dunlop

SCROTUS ‘Successes” so far. Pissed off Australia, Britain, Germany, Mexico Canada. OK’ed failed Yemen raid. Upset Middle East even more than usual. Like Dubya said about Katriona, ‘Fine Job, Brownie’!

pinkpantheroz

And it’s only 50 days!

pinkpantheroz

FD–scrolling back to see what I missed when I was gone. Glad to hear you and your Mom are together. You’re a good son, and she sounds like a good mom! Nice to hear about strong women!

glenn

Ad, we need to really get lazy ass dems to the polls in 2018. Too many think the president is all powerful and only vote in presidential elections. We need to school these folks and teach them that congress is even more important.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad–when the economy dips because of trumpcare, then we’ll see how trump supporters justify his misdeeds then! I really hate that people will suffer, but as you said a couple of weeks ago, Americans only wake up when it hits them personally.

glenn

I made it, only doing two auctions this weekend. How is everyone?

SueInCa

FD–totally agree about getting Dems to the polls in ALL elections. Maybe they’ll wake up now that trump and congress are gutting every regulation, law, and tradition that helps middle-class and poor Americans.

glenn

Absolutely Ad.

Fuzzy Dunlop

It is called Privilege, Glenn It only matters when they are personally effected

SueInCa

Around 70% of all assistance programs like SNAP and LEAP and ACA are rural/suburban white people…tbags and rednecks. They will be devastated and now vouchers to send their kids to 5 day a week Sunday school for ‘freedumb’?

Harleigh

Hey Sue!

glenn

or is it affected?

SueInCa

Hey Glenn

SueInCa

Ad, this piece of crap is a whole new even-more-toxic that either Nixon or Reagan. At least they started off being somewhat Presidential.

pinkpantheroz

HEY SUE!!

Harleigh

We have to make sure they understand, glenn. street protests look good, but accomplish little. The real resistance lies in the voting booths.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hey Harleigh, Adlib PPO, KT

SueInCa

Sue–whichever one it is, you’re right.

glenn

Hiya Sue, welcome!

pinkpantheroz

I don’t think we have that time, FD

SueInCa

Thanks PPO

SueInCa

So nice to see ya Sue. How goes California? I used to live ther, and often miss it.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Did y’all hear? Pence lied, surprised?

SueInCa

California just might be my saving grace KT

SueInCa

Ad, if things change in 18, does this mean we will be eternally repealing and replacing Healthcare legislation till the cows come home?

pinkpantheroz

FD–I’m with you. This is the message that Dems have to keep repeating, that ALL elections matter!

glenn

I hear ya, Sue.

Fuzzy Dunlop

BRB

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO–good question! We’ve been “debating” about health care since the 90’s; seems as though we’ll be debating it forever. I think we have to go to single payer when Dems are in control; have it work for a few years, then people will be devastated when it’s taken away; just like Social Security. That’s why repubs fight single payer so much; they know if it passes, they’re doomed.

glenn

Well, I’ve got to go. Fascinating as usual. Don’t forget to get your Hats for UGH ‘St PATTY’s DAY’ UGH !

pinkpantheroz

Please let it be so AD. Cheerio.

pinkpantheroz

This time around they are going to hurt everyone. There is a clause in there to help employers stop subsidizing healthcare

SueInCa

pinkpantheroz

Later, PPO

SueInCa

Evening everyone!

funksands

Hey Funk

SueInCa

it will show who the worst is of the congress to hammer them with in 2018. single payer HC solves that and raising SS tax on the first $200,000 solves that… so I believe from what I’ve learned about them.

Harleigh

Everyone filed their foreign agent report?

funksands

Hey Sue, how you been?

funksands

funk is in da house! How are ya?

Fuzzy Dunlop

I did, I work for Russia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia..SA pays the best

SueInCa

I have been fine, Funk, you?

Ad–Yup. I fully expect trump to be insane about the debt ceiling as he is about everything else. And repubs don’t seem to think much of paying our debts; they’ve shut down the government twice over that. Once again, I’m hoping trump gets to the point where his head explodes from all the “work” he needs to do, plus all the people who are against him. Right now, as some one said a while ago, he’s only getting the positive and far right wing news from his staff. Sooner or later, he’s going to realize he’s not as “great” as he thinks he is. Or, more specifically, that the people don’t think he’s as great as he thinks he is. That time can’t come soon enough for me. The man is a menace to society.

pinkpantheroz

No kidding Funk. He is doing similar to Erdogan after the false flag coup

SueInCa

Seriously, the situation in and around Turkey is very volatile. Ans we have a CIC that doesn’t know his ass from his elbow.

Fuzzy Dunlop

They have also installed spies in every agency

SueInCa

Interesting how the prosecutor that was preparing to investigate Trump just lost their job today

funksands

Pro Publica reported on all they could find as of yesterday

SueInCa

I am proud to say I am of Irish descent. About 50%. Hey, on St. Pat’s Day, everybody is Irish!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hey Funk–how are you?

glenn

they are cringing in fear of me on the alt-right funk!! LOL

Harleigh

Hey KT me too, 44% Irish/Scot and 21% Brit

SueInCa

As they should be, H!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hey FD–me too! Half Irish and half Italian!

glenn

Harleigh, thanks for not calling them nazis. That’s awkward.

funksands

The rest of me is Heinz 57!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hi Glenn, good to see you.

funksands

Trump is going to run the government with 20 dudes.

funksands

Half Irish, half Mutt!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad–yup, just like Nixon, as you said a while ago. Gotta get rid of those damn prosecutors if they’re going to do their jobs!

glenn

That’s why Bork got nominated. He was promised a Supreme Court gig as a reward for firing Nixon’s prosecutor.

funksands

I think this is a great opportunity for all those “alphas,” to prove how alpha they are. Enlist now boys, and become dead men.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hoo Ahh!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Funk–and we all know how well that turned out for Bork. Hope the same thing happens to all of trump’s men!

glenn

One can hope.

funksands

NO SHIT Funk… they can’t find the next 2,000 people that are educated enough and they can trust to fill all those jobs

Harleigh

wouldn’t it be the height of irony if the Donnie had congress reinstate the draft? Whoops “alphas.” How you like me now?

Fuzzy Dunlop

My turn to say good night. Have a good week, all. Ad, thanks once again for helping me to see the bright side of the political scene right now. You all take care!

glenn

Why bother? If your goal is to loot the commons, the less people the better.

funksands

Night Glenn

funksands

night glenn

Harleigh

You too glenn. Sweet dreams and pleasant afternoons.

Fuzzy Dunlop

night glenn

SueInCa

It will fail first go round for sure

SueInCa

I think the senate has a problem with the house trying to ram i through, without financial info. No scores, yet.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad, the impression I am getting is that it is getting shoved through so it will fail and then the GOP can tut tut and then move on to tax reform

funksands

Oh those lame asses will keep on trying, just like they did with repealing

SueInCa

I think they’ll have to Ad. Too many repubs’ jobs on the line.

Fuzzy Dunlop

I guess we’ll have to pass it to find out what’s in it.

funksands

the house voted overwhelminly to repeal ACA almost 60 times and now when their time comes they gots no plan!! never did

Harleigh

I think they just want to move on.

funksands

Me too ad. That’s why ryan and the turtle are trying to rush this through.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Absolutely right H!

Fuzzy Dunlop

maybe it is the only way to get dumbshit in the WH to understand

SueInCa

it’s gonna kill an bankrupt hundreds of thousands

Harleigh

The new bill is just another tax benefit to those greedy pigs who already get unfair benefits.

Fuzzy Dunlop

What’s interestin is all of the goals that they laid out for the bill, and none of them are in the bill. Hight deductibles, higher premiums, less choice, no crossing state lines. None of the top things Trump insisted on are in the bill because too many of them don’t qualify for passing via reconciliation

funksands

I can no longer be kind or polite to anyone associated in any way with this duplicitous administration.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Nor can I FD, it is impossible to be polite to them

SueInCa

They are truly stupid Ad. I’m not kidding. Thier intoxication, derived from their newfound power, has made them thick as bricks.

Fuzzy Dunlop

What’s even weirder is that it spikes premiums for older Americans (the GOP base) and cuts them for younger

funksands

That is because he is, Adlib

SueInCa

Americans.

funksands

right on Sue. They knew what a scumbag Trump was when they voted for him. They had base, personal concerns, none for the future of this nation.

Fuzzy Dunlop

I consider them traitors at this point FD

SueInCa

They are Sue!

Harleigh

Less people covered AND higher premiums? Sign me up!

funksands

I do too, Sue. What is really astonishing is, they think they are “patriots.” There are none so blind, as those that won’t see.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Adlib, but they never learn. They go right back for more every single election period

SueInCa

Agreed FD

SueInCa

Not me, Ad. They are the enemy. Time for finding common ground is over. In my humble opinion!

Fuzzy Dunlop

I love the story I read recently of a 1st time voter (55 years old, thanks for getting around to it) that voted for Trump and has found out that her subsidy of $8500 is going to be cut to a $3500 tax credit. Her repsonse? “Why did I even vote?”

funksands

I am done with them, have been for a while now.

SueInCa

BTW, That is what John Adams said to Alexander Hamilton, who wanted to appease the British!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Funk I would tell them all to stay home next time

SueInCa

Me too Sue!

Fuzzy Dunlop

BBack in a bit

SueInCa

I will not collaborate.

Fuzzy Dunlop

I had a friend of mine say to me yesterday: “I can’t wait for the ACA to be repealed”…..”but I don’t want anything to happen to your family”…. :-/

funksands

Sue, that might be best

funksands

It is best!

Fuzzy Dunlop

brb

funksands

We have a nascent dictatorship on our hands, and anybody who doesn’t understand that, is extremely myopic. If there were ever a time to resist, it is now.

Fuzzy Dunlop

the ‘best’ would be to gotv with a huge dem increase that would turn some of the gerrymandered districts.

Harleigh

Ad, I think you are trying to understand the understandable. These people knew damn well who they were voting for, and if not, they’re too stupid to take up space in the 21st century!

Fuzzy Dunlop

I just cannot be kind towards these cretins.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD, you know it.

funksands

Ad, we should never play to the lowest common denominator.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad, I agree. I will not and can not scold someone for their vote for Trump. They had their reasons, and whether they were complicated or simple, that water is under the bridge now. Oppose the dealer, not the addicts.

funksands

Too many brilliant thinkers have advised us otherwise.

Fuzzy Dunlop

The “addicts,” helped him get elected, and they still support him. Never forget that!

Fuzzy Dunlop

The more financially unstable a society becomes, the more susceptible to certain messages they become. “Who to blame”, “What to be afraid of”, “It’s not your fault”, “I’ll make it all better”.

funksands

I never said they were smart. Maybe you misunderstood my comment. I was referring to some of the world’s greatest philosophers.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD, I’m not excusing they decisions or actions, but I’m not going to get anywhere by attacking them for being idiots. That is a sure way to entrench them

funksands

I am happy however that the unemployment rate has dropped from 45% to 4.7%. That’s a big win

funksands

I’m not directing any action against his supporters, I’m just relating how I see them and how I value them as, not only Americans, but as human beings. Their kind has always been with us.

Fuzzy Dunlop

another chunk of his base is RWNJ, white supremacists, KKK. they are dangerous and voted for open bigotry.

Harleigh

Nationalism and jingoism are not exclusive to the nazi regime

funksands

No doubt Harleigh, that is the segment of his voting base that deserves no sympathy, peace or privacy

funksands

I really hate that faction Funk. 1937 germany in my estimation.

Harleigh

This administration is populated by the dregs of humanity. And their supporters aren’t much better. Not all people are good, deep down.

Fuzzy Dunlop

I am not sure about all of you, but I am really skeptical that a vote in 2018 is even going to be on the up and up. Who is there in DC to stop Trump? Not one person is stepping up to stop him and he is dismantling the government at an alarming rate. I don’t know how much you know about Turkey but he has shut down most liberals in a very short amount of time. Some arrested on trumped up charges, some lost their livelihood, some were accused of being traitors and ostracized. All of this since that false flag coup. There were only 20 people involved in the supposed coup but thousands have been arrested. He is now working with Putin and modeling his country after Russia. Trump is on the same path.

SueInCa

Harleigh, this faction is a chronic illness in American society.

funksands

I am probably on the other side of you FD. I despise them all. They brought this on all of us, plus the far left. All of them refused to believe Trump was a bad hombre and now we all are going to pay.

SueInCa

funk, very good points. I think it will be our intel agencies, and our judicial system that will rid us of Trump and hopefully, several of his co-conspirators. Then, we get Mike Pence, unless he’s involved in the conspiaracy.

Fuzzy Dunlop

it don’t look good at this point Sue. you’re right Funk

Harleigh

Sue, but what is so different about this now than in the past? Autocracy is always the most attractive option for the power-hungry. Just because our move to autocracy has been slower and more subtle because of our institutions doesn’t make us immune

funksands

The other side? I don’t really think we have a “far left,” any longer. Just a bunch of rowdy kids in love with Che Guevara.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Agreed Harleigh. I just don’t get why people cannot see what is happening.

SueInCa

If the judicial system steps in exactly who is going to enforce their decisions?

Harleigh

Adlib he just grabbed control of a national election with the help of Putin

SueInCa

Harleigh, that is my real fear. That is the tipping point that is hard to recover from. Once our institutions simply ignore the rule of law and the judgements against them, we are in very dangerous territory

funksands

Sue if you find the answer you’ll be the next POTUS. seriously… how can they be so dumb?

Harleigh

This is why Sessions has to be deposed, in one manner or the other.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD, a reactionary left is a common byproduct of creeping authoritarian regimes.

funksands

Harleig, what judicial system? He just fired 44 prosecutors today. I agree he conned them but I also know he worked with Putin to turn the election in his favor and Comey helped, anothe traitor

SueInCa

I hesitate to even call it “left.” I think of it as highly reasoned.

Fuzzy Dunlop

What I’m getting nervous about is that because the Trump administration is so full of fuck-ups, that they won’t be held to the same standards that other administrations have had to live by

funksands

yep. true SUE

Harleigh

That’s where “we the people,” come in. Don’t ever believe we can’t make our voices be heard. Those voices can, and have, brought about great change.

Fuzzy Dunlop

It is not going to happen, FD. Not one Republican in congress has the balls to step up and speak out. We have a mix of fascists and dominionists in this administration and that is exactly what the RRight wanted.

SueInCa

Sue, what is not going to happen. I’m a bit buzzed right now.

Fuzzy Dunlop

All I can say is ask the Turkish people about that, FD. The justice department stepping up and doing their job is not going to happen

SueInCa

We need to be careful with this Russia issue. They are our competitior. Putin hated Hillary Clinton. They are convinced we interfered in their elections (they might be right), and they also wanted sanctions lifted. I would have been shocked if they didn’t interfere. We can absolutely agree that Russian tried to influence our elections without losing our minds, seeing a Russian in every corner and starting WW3. Also we can absolutely continue to poke, prod and investigate the Russian/Trump connection without putting all of our eggs in one basket. If the Dems are going to run on “Russia/Trump” in 2018 they are going to get smoked.

funksands

ok FD, Turkish we the people and not going to happen, the justice department

SueInCa

Sue you are so right about that. The ends solely justify the means with this crew

funksands

oh, I remember. The intel and justice department. I think these folks are Trump’s biggest worry now. Hence the crazy shit that Trump tweets. It’s jus a distraction from what’s really going on.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad, no doubt. I’ve been very heartened by this

funksands

Turkish?

Fuzzy Dunlop

Folks I got kiddos to put to bed. Keep up the fight and have a great weekend!

funksands

nice seein ya funk

Harleigh

I am all for the resistance. I will help them in any way I can. But I do believe their activities are going to go underground to a certain extent, by force. Later funk

SueInCa

Have a great weekend funk. Give those kiddies a hug, from all of us.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD, the turkish people never thought, a year ago, that they would be living under a dictator

SueInCa

I think the admin will start using agencies for their politics.

Harleigh

I got ya Sue. You are right. That’s a highly volatile area of the world now. Think Yugoslavia in the early 1900s.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Like the groups did in the 60’s. Many went underground because the Feds were infiltrating their groups.

SueInCa

2018 will be a battle and the repubes will use every trick they can…. and personal attacks against some supporters.

Harleigh

They became as good at nailing the spies as the spies thought they were in their infiltration

SueInCa

That’s nearly impossible now, Sue. But I love the idea. Hoffman and Reuben lived off the grid for nearly two years. Then.

Fuzzy Dunlop

No doubt that the odds are against Trump and his pack of jackals.

Fuzzy Dunlop

There has been pushback your right AD.

Harleigh

And this country is too dumb Adlib. Ask anyone on the street, talk to someone in line at the supermarket, they do not know what is going on. You are most likely in a position where you run in to smart people all day long, people who are wise to what is going on but the majority out there have barely a clue. I hope you are right, Adlib but I am thinking worst case scenario most days.

SueInCa

Well folks, gotta sign off now. Morning comes too soon for now.
