Hey PPO!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Seeya then!

AdLib 2 hours ago

Hey PPO, colluded with any Russians today?

AdLib 2 hours ago

Nope, the clock changes early Sunday morning for us.

AdLib 2 hours ago

There must be a few not talking to Trump’s cronies!

AdLib 2 hours ago

If Trump tries to fire Mueller, I think the revolution really begins, people will floood in the streets.

AdLib an hour ago

There have been lots of marches and protests by millions of Americans this year. If he tries to blow up the FBI, it will be lighting a short fuse.

AdLib an hour ago

Hey Harleigh!

AdLib an hour ago

Hey glenn!

AdLib an hour ago

Everything good with you, glenn?

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – Yes, all his crew will continue even if Mueller was removed so it won’t make anything go away, just make things so much worse for Trump.

AdLib an hour ago

Harleigh, same here, glad you could at least pop in!

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – Trump is leaving so weakened and indictments falling all around him, it won’t be a good trip for him because he has no strength with other leaders, especially China.

AdLib an hour ago

He’ll be shooting citizens with Duterte in The Phillipines to prove his voters wouldn’t leave him.

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – Yes, not great for the US but we have to accept between Trump becoming stronger or weaker, whatever weakens him helps America in the long run.

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – Totally agree, If Trump fell off The Great Wall he’d say it was exactly what he wanted to do. But the polls show that the more he lies, the more support he loses and the more peoople see him as a liar.

AdLib an hour ago

Harleigh – I think you’re onto something there, if Kimmy wants to make Trump terrified, he would shoot a missile or two into the ocean while Trump’s in SK.

AdLib an hour ago

Trump should just tumble down this portion, “I meant to do that!”

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – My point is, the only way to stop Trump is for Dems to win in 2018 and 2020. If we can win the House a year from now, Trump will be stopped for good! He’ll lose in 2020. So his sinking in the polls will mean the end of him before too long. And next year is an election year, not as much he will be able to do then…especially with indictments flying around him…and probably at him!

AdLib an hour ago

“Mr. Trump, you can see a perfect site for a new Trump Hotel at The Great Wall if you just lean over a little more…”

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – I think Brazile has hit a wasps nest already buzzing in the Dem party and it will only get worse before it gets better. Hillary supporters are angry, Bernie supporters are, Brazile is only out for herself like too many in the Dem Establishment.

AdLib an hour ago

Clearly, the debate schedule and what was going on behind the scenes at the DNC was meant to slant the election too Hillary…who had come in as a white knight to rescue the badly run organization. What about the failure Wasserman Schultz is now clearly proven to be, she ran the DNC into bankruptcy, (greater) corruption and huge losses.

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – Like the idea of cementing Trump into the wall! Then he could be The Great Trump of Gyna!

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – It does seem much of Brazile’s claims have been rebutted though the hacked emails did reveal the DNC was tilted against Bernie and for Hillary. Brazile though, has buried herself.

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – The argument that Dems who supported Bernie could make is that the intentional burying of debates and other activities by the DNC to undermine any challengers to Hillary helped her win more votes. Had it been a level playing field from the beginning, it’s possible the outcome would have been different though Hillary still may have won.h

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – Because an election should be fair and then the winner is supported by both sides. Allowing Bernie to run as a Dem but tilting the board against him in some ways (not all ways that Brazile claimed) created this divide in the party.

AdLib an hour ago

Hey Murph!

AdLib an hour ago

PPO – It’s a big problem, there are angry Hillary supporters and angry Bernie supporters pointing intolerant fingers at each other, just what Russia and Trump would want. I don’t think this gets resolved until the Dem primary begins and the Hillary vs. Bernie dynamic is officially irrelevant.

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – The initial strength of any candidate is name recognition. If voters don’t know other candidates well, they will vote for the one they do know. Hillary started with virtually 100% name recognition, Bernie was an unknown and got little coverage at the start. Slashing the number of debates to 6 and scheduling them during major sports events and holidays was intended to prevent other candidates from building awareness with voters. Not cool.

AdLib an hour ago

How about that “Progressive” group that came out against Northam to call him racist just before the election?! They want actual Repub racists in power in VA instead???

AdLib an hour ago

glenn – Yes, the bottom line is that while both sides may have legit resentments, everyone has to put on their big boy and big girl pants and focus on winning against a potential dictator who is destroying the country…something that neither Hillary nor Bernie would have done.

AdLib an hour ago

Murph – Are the folks you know who are enrolled aware about it being that time of year?

AdLib an hour ago

The way to defeat Russia and Trumpism is to unite on a way forward, not fight over who was most wronged in the past.

AdLib an hour ago

Very cool, Murph! Any of them wanting to give it up because Trump is against it?

AdLib an hour ago

Looks like the Repub budget is already underwater and in big trouble. Hope folks get busy contacting their Congresspeople as they did with the ACA repeal.

AdLib 44 minutes ago

PPO – I don’t think Brazile used those words but her portrayal of the situation was that the primary was rigged.

AdLib 43 minutes ago

glenn – It’s like people spending all their time complaining about a collapsed bridge instead of fixing it.

AdLib 41 minutes ago

glenn – Looking forward to the CBO score on this Frankenstein budget…if McConnell doesn’t try to rush it through before a CBO score once more.

AdLib 40 minutes ago

Only Trump’s ignorant base, around 32%, think the tax bill will lower their taxes. Many more people know it won’t. And hoow about the way it makes the cuts for the wealthy permanent but only temporary for the 99%!

AdLib 38 minutes ago

PPO – While you’re out, I could use a beret!

AdLib 37 minutes ago

You said you were going shopping.

AdLib 37 minutes ago

Yep, raspberry if they’ve got them but I’d take a boysenberry.

AdLib 36 minutes ago

glenn – The Repubs know they’re lying about the tax bill, just as they were about the ACA repeal. They just want too cut the taxes of the wealthy donors who are angry at them. They really don’t care how this would destroy the lives of most Americans.

AdLib 35 minutes ago

So they don’t want the CBO blowing up their lies as they rush to pass it to benefit their owners.

AdLib 34 minutes ago

Amazing how all those ignorant Trump voters have forgotten all his promises about taxing the wealthy and Wall Street and helping them.

AdLib 33 minutes ago

Lying used to be an art. Trump’s crass nature has made lying defiant. “Yeah, it’s a lie but my dumb followers will believe it so screw you.”

AdLib 31 minutes ago

There’s so much for the Dem nom to use against Trump in 2020, including bringing back respect and honesty to the WH. So much to choose from though!

AdLib 30 minutes ago

glenn – The uber wealthy are deranged, they have spite towards all those people who have money that they should have.

AdLib 29 minutes ago

The alt-right is built on big lies, lying is just as legit a tool to them as anything else.

AdLib 28 minutes ago

MAGA? Throw that back in Trump’s face?

AdLib 27 minutes ago

MADA – Make America Decent Again.

AdLib 27 minutes ago

Murph may have needed sleep a bit more than he realized!

AdLib 25 minutes ago

Same here, glenn. Nice to see you back!

AdLib 25 minutes ago

Have a great weekend!
