Question: if someone in the WH is indicted, do they lose their security clearance/get fired/business as ‘usual’?
pinkpantheroz

yoo hoo! anybody home?
pinkpantheroz

Hi there guys. I am here
MurphTheSurf3

If someone in the WH is indicted SOP would be a leave of absence that would suspend any clearance. But this is the Trump WH and no bets can be made.
MurphTheSurf3

Probably right, Murph.
pinkpantheroz

Will it be Manafort or one of the Mimimee trumps?
pinkpantheroz

PPO there is a large cast of characters….most known, but some not. The speculation here is all over the place. Some say that low hanging and low level fruit will get picked first; others say that Mueller would only be acting if he had a sense that someone was going to leave the country; and still others suggest that Mueller will want to make a big splash to shake up others and to secure his position from Trump interference.

Hey! Got pulled away! Am back!
AdLib7 days ago
In the Trump WH, if someone is indicted, they get a promotion.
AdLib7 days ago
PPO….here is a bit of Trump for you ala Halloween: President Donald Trump briefly met with children of the White House press corps on Friday as part of a Halloween celebration, and things got weird pretty quickly. The costumed kids were invited to the Oval Office before trick-or-treating in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Trump, ever eager to criticize the press, seized the opportunity to make fun of their parents. “I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children,” Trump said, according to a pool report of the event. “How the media did this, I don’t know.” Trump pointed at the pool and asked the kids, “Do you know who they are? They are the friendly media.” He comforted one young girl, who was clearly a little nervous and crying. And he maintained a playful banter with the kids and the media. “These are beautiful, wonderful children,” he said, turning to the kids. “Are you going to grow up and be like your parents? Mmm, don’t answer that. It can only get me in trouble. You have wonderful parents, right?”

Word seems to be that Mueller’s coming out soon with some big indictments.
AdLib7 days ago
Ad…watching it all closely…there is a large cast of characters….most known, but some not. The speculation here is all over the place. Some say that low hanging and low level fruit will get picked first; others say that Mueller would only be acting if he had a sense that someone was going to leave the country; and still others suggest that Mueller will want to make a big splash to shake up others and to secure his position from Trump interference.

Cretin can’t even have fun with children. Of course, they don’t vote

PPO…he just cannot step away from his bitter anger and his grudges.
MurphTheSurf3

Wonder how his blood pressure will be on Monday? Enough to have him discharged medically unfit? Hope so.
pinkpantheroz

Murph, Trump is so mentally ill to act that way with children. He didn’t raise his own kids. Clear personality disorder. The jerk is mentally ill.
AdLib7 days ago
Ad…clearer and clearer….and yet my neighbors worship the cesspool he walks on.
MurphTheSurf3

PPO..the 25th Amendment, even if it gives us Pence is our best way out. If we were a Parliamentary System, I suspect he would be gone already.
MurphTheSurf3

I’m hoping every member of the WH staff are feeling like the SS when Hitler went and will run in disguise to try to escape.
pinkpantheroz

PPO…and I hope that Mueller gets a load more cooperating witnesses.

Hi, Harleigh
pinkpantheroz

PPO….my friends in the UK….for sure know and their friends on the continent share the concerns.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
I think Mueller would be more likely to indict the low hanging fruit first, Manafort and Flynn.
AdLib7 days ago
Hey Harleigh!
AdLib7 days ago
Ad…I agree……and with that upping the ante on them…..cooperate or you are going to swing!
MurphTheSurf3

Horrible news coming out of PR. All on Trump’s watch. No HRC, Obama or Media to blame here. It’s all on him
pinkpantheroz

Murph – The Trump cult are proof of how dictators rise in countries. Like cult members, their allegiance to Trump and their fear and hatred towards others puts their minds in chains. They can’t see themselves as wrong for following a con man. They’re self image and understanding of the world and their victim hood is all wrapped up in their blind faith in Trump. They are lost to us and the majority, they need to be overcome and relegated back to the shadows…where they will hopefully let down and allow reason to creep back into their closed minds.
AdLib7 days ago
He’s unhinged like dangerous and can fire nukes.

On another front, I was part of a group of 12 who met with the leadership staff of three of our GOP congress people re. health care. I was put in the slot of “community activist”, there were others representing Navigators, the state health system, doctors groups, hospitals, patient advocates……It was an honest and generally respectful discussion….making clear what a mess they are making of the health care system and how much worse it could get…..we met after the 90 minute meeting with the Congress folk and wrote up a summary of the points we made and sent them, and their employers, and the Speaker of the House, and the Governor here, and the Senators….a copy of it.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Well, put, Ad. Just like the Nazis in WWII. Of course, afterwards they were all ‘Good Germans’, weren’t they?
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Murph, do you think anything concrete might come out of it?
pinkpantheroz

BRB
pinkpantheroz

Ad…in agreement in principle…the problem with overcoming in states like mine is they are the majority (or so allied to it that taking the opposite tack is doomed from the start). When Hitler was elected Chancellor, the wealthy who supported him were asked by local leaders if this was wise and were told that “Mr. Hitler works for us. Let’s be clear on that.”
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
PPO….I do not think so….but we wanted to be sure that our words represented our meeting not theirs.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph – So where does that leave things? With the sabotage by Trump of the ACA and the “tax” bill and budget trying to slash Medicare and Medicaid…how can healthcare work especially for those who most need it in MO?
AdLib7 days ago
AD…it won’t and it will be up to folks like myself to work at getting the message out that this is ALL the GOP’s fault.
MurphTheSurf3

HC will falter along until we adopt single payer and get rid of most of the bullshit insurance business.
Harleigh

Has anyone see the Steyer ad calling for the invoking of the 25th or impeachment NOW?
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Nope, not here
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO – Trump is an unofficial Nazi leader, he calls them “fine people” and supported their heinous actions in Charlottesville. Trump supporters are the equivalent of Hitler supporters, no atrocity would shake their support of him to be a tyrant.
AdLib7 days ago
Harleigh…agreed and that is one of the reasons that HC big business is really unhappy right now as the messier it gets the more likely it is that the next steps will take us down the road you suggest here and away from the gravy train.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Ad, that’s why I keep making the simile. Pure Dictatorial hero-worship and plebs manipulation. Reality about to descend, bigly!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Ad…I have a neighbor, about three miles down the road who flies the Confederate Battle Flag, a Christian Conservative Flag, an American Fascist Flag, a U.S. Flag and a Missouri Flag in his yard which faces a major county road.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph – That’s the thing, the Repub Establishment supported and empowered Trump thinking they’d still own him and the GOP. It’s the story of the Gollum for them. For Trump core supporters, it’s the same emotional and blind support Hitler enjoyed. They are the enemy at this point, they stand against decency.
AdLib7 days ago
He needs to fly the last confederate flag, You know, the White One!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
Ad…just so.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Ad, fer sure
pinkpantheroz

I really hope there are a lot of very nervous people in the WH and Congress right now.
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
these baggers think they can intimidate other other 60% like at the obama HC townhalls with guns and torches. ain’t happening … they will try.
Harleigh

This guy has tried to pick an argument with me over the “myth” of the Confederate States fighting the Civil War to maintain slavery. I send him links to 9 of the Confederate States’ declarations of war in which they cite slavery as the first or second grievance.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph – As I said though, those who support Trump have their identity and inner security wrapped up in him being their savior against the non-white, non-male world. They can’t afford to change their minds about him.
AdLib7 days ago
Ad…all of which makes it very unlikely that they will be wooed away…..very disappointing.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph – Yes, very pleased to see the ads legitimizing the concept of removing Trump though I wonder if Steyer has ulterior motives.
AdLib7 days ago
I see PapayaPuss is trying to swing TrumpRussia from himself to HRC! Funny, I don’t hear of any indictments headed that way
pinkpantheroz

Ad….what motives…running for office?
MurphTheSurf3

“If you want to test a man’s character…give him power.” (A. Lincoln) The Party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Hoover, Dewey, Eisenhower…..has capitulated to Trump despite the voices of McCain, Bush, Bush, Corker, Flake, and the historic stances taken by the GOP in regard to the budget, the debt, hawkish diplomacy, and so much more that call for RESISTANCE to the TRUMPIAN/BANNONIAN HOSTILE TAKEVER OF THE GRAND OLD PARTY. shame, shame, shame. Such is the allure of power (and its accompanying draw, greed.)
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
PPO – Yep, I see no difference in the mindset behind Germans who blindly supported and excused whatever Hitler did and these authoritarian loving Trumpers. Mueller and the 2018 elections will rightly rip away power from the hands of the hateful and ignorant by helping to bring Trump down.
AdLib7 days ago
this admin is sorta like the cotton candy machines at the fair….. except their putting fuckin turds in the machines. no matter how you spin it, it’s still shit.
Harleigh

Murph – He sounds a little confused, with all those flags. What year does he think it is?
AdLib7 days ago
Hope so, Ad. Hope the Dems pound away at the Nazi bullying, the anti-female bias, and all the other odious shite they propunded
pinkpantheroz

He says that he is first of all a Missourian, then a Christian, then a Populist/Nationalist, and then a citizen of the Federal Union (his words).
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph – I know, he thinks it was all about states rights. But they never admit that what the state wanted the right to do was keep black human beings as slaves.
AdLib7 days ago
Ad…just read the statements from state after state re. separation from the Union and that is very evident
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
Murph, I’ve a one-word observation – Bonkers!
pinkpantheroz
7 days ago
PPO….Bonkers indeed. I fly the U.S. flag and the Mo. flag…but have been told that I should not since I so clearly hate the nation….bonkers.
MurphTheSurf3
7 days ago
PPO – Saw a fed prosecutor say it’s actually very common to see a party that is on the verge of facing justice for crimes to blame the same crimes on those coming after him. Or in this case, Hillary who he sees as a symbol of his enemies.
AdLib7 days ago
I am glad for my cameras and my flood lights.

BENGHAZI…. again LMAO
Harleigh
7 days ago
Murph – Yes, Steyer seems like he’s just as focused on publicizing himself as going after Trump, possibly to run for Senator or Governor of CA. I like Newsom for gov.
AdLib7 days ago
Harleigh…less Benghazi but Uranium and the Server are back full tilt.
MurphTheSurf3

what’s the second one murph??

MurphTheSurf3

PPO – Trump is attacking EVERY demographic but the 1% and the 1 IQ who are white. That is a clear majority of Americans and voters, especially women! Dems just need to have a sensible candidate in 2018 without a mountain of baggage and they’ll win.
AdLib7 days ago
Ad, hopefully they will be able to sort that out for once and stop the incessant infighting.

MurphTheSurf3

We’ve got to defeat Nunes here in CA. He is a ridiculous cliche of a Trump drone. Hoping CA will help flip the House by getting rid of many Repubs in 2018.
AdLib7 days ago
Do we have any idea who will stand against Nunes?
MurphTheSurf3

Murph – Will check out your post! Looks very well written and on the money from that excerpt.

AdLib7 days ago
I would give….
MurphTheSurf3

Murph – Well, it’s very well done!

There’s more than enough ammo from Nunes’ own mouth and his boss not to have to say much at all

Well, gang…..I am heading to bed…..I am trying to eke out a bit more produce from my last garden, and to nudge my floral gardens along for another week or so and we are getting close to freezing. So I Have to cover everything at night and uncover in the AM.

Hey, Murph, don’t forget you have an extra hour’s sleep this weekend!
pinkpantheroz

PPO – Nunes has betrayed his district in lying and showing allegiance only to propaganda and Trump instead of his district. He should be buried in a campaign but he’s in a red district, one of the few out here.
AdLib7 days ago
Any wiggle room or is it totally gerrymandered, Ad?
pinkpantheroz

Sounds like a bit of work ahead of you Murph! Get some rest!

PPO, CA isn’t gerrymandered, we passed a law having a non-partisan panel decide re-districting. CA is a true democracy reflecting its people.
AdLib7 days ago
PPO and AD….CA is a model for how to district fairly.

Next week, Daylight Savings is over?
