Vox Populi – 06-01-2018

Vov Populi, our weekly live chat begins at 7:00pm PDT. Hope to see you then!

Hey PPO! How are you doing today?

It’s been a tariff-able week.

Damn, sorry to hear that. It doesn’t hurt though, does it? Doing well this way, my daughter just finished her first year of high school, summer vacation unofficially starts today for us!

Just like Bush, Trump will squander away the strong economy he inherited from the Dem president. Inflation is going to skyrocket under Trump.

Got it!

Wages won’t go anywhere unless or until Dems control DC and change tax laws to promote wage increases.

I can’t wait!!!

Okey dokey!

Hard to blame Sam Bee for messing up like she did, and it was a mistake because it gave the c***s in the Trump camp the opportunity to equivocate an insult with racism. But we are all so angry because of Trump, I could make the same mistake.

Fake alarm news!

There is no hypocrisy too high for Repubs to leap over. Or spelling mistakes for me to leap over!

Nope but they have sunk below the gutter…below the sewer…there is nothing beneath them but perhaps Hell.

And what does this say about the Americans supporting Trump? So many racists and authoritarians! It

It’s a bit scary.

We can only hope Kimmy does an underground test that wipes out the GOP.

Nope and not the majority of Americans but 35% – 40% which is scary. But we will crush them in Nov!

My bet on NK is that Trump and his cronies will come back and lie about Kim agreeing to de-nuclearization to look like he was successful but Kim will never agree to that.

Who but his supporters would believe anything Trump announces anymore? Including all the other leaders in the world.

MSM pundits are squawking about Trump winning the propaganda war and it pisses me off. Of course his BS is more familiar to people, Mueller hasn’t dropped the charges on him yet. Once he does, everything changes.

Kim will play Trump who he knows needs a win and a distraction from Russia and obstruction. Kim will lie to him and Trump will lap it up.

As for the wall, it will never happen. Especially if Dems win back the House as expected.

And the EU, Mexico and Canada are so pissed off with Trump, he’s shoving around all our allies and handing out money to Russia and China. Trump voters are oblivious to the anti-American traitor they’re rooting for. They just want to Make America White Again.

Hey Harleigh!

PPO – The moment will come when the economy falters and there’s a crisis when he will want to turn to other countries to help and Russia and China will let him drown while Western Allies will hesitate. Trump is doomed.

I wonder if it’s just too much of a leap for many people to accept it’s real, that Russians installed their puppet and he is destroying our government and democracy exactly as a foreign agent would do.

Great comparison, PPO. That is exactly what it will be like. Thanks to the horribleness of that c**t (we love you Sam!), many of his supporters will suffer from job loss, inflation, and losing good healthcare. And they’re too ignorant to realize it. Murph relayed that the farmers in his area are still supporting Trump despite losing so much money on not being able to sell their crops to China. They stupidly blame…the Dems! Who have no power!

Harleigh – We ARE taking back the House in November! And we sure hope to take The Senate back but that’s a tall order.

Gas is 3.99 in Los Angeles right now. That extra $9 a month from the tax fraud bill is less than people will pay out every month with the jump in gas prices.

PPO – Remember when the RW was attacking Obama for rising gas prices? But when a Repub is in the WH, not a peep.

PPO – I think around 22 seats. Normally in an off year election with the party out of power having as big a lead as they do, 40 seats or more are lost by the party in power. But I want to see the GOP drowned in bigger losses all around the country, including in state governments since the census and redistricting is coming up in 2021 and Dem Govs can veto gerrymandering.

Yes but those rollbacks can’t really happen until Trump loses in 2020. Until then, a Dem House can investigate and expose all Trump’s crimes and block any more destructive bills.

PPO – Can you see our tweets in the widget now? I posted a clip from Superman who gives the best advice on what Dems should run on in 2018 and 2020, “Truth, Justice and the American Way.”

Harleigh – Agreed! She let her outrage get the best of her but I can relate. I’m having to tamp down my own…at least until election time rolls around!

I think some people are just overwhelmed by the Trump madness right now but as election time rolls around, I think they’ll be very energized to finally be able to take action against him.

Harleigh – 

PPO – That’s weird.

Harleigh – The words of a 5 year old…so of course so many Repubs relate to him.

PPO – Heh! I went for a 5 year old mentality with him. Do I hear 4?

I know I mentioned this before but how do Dems decide which outrageous things to use in ads against Trump? There’s too damn many!

Sold! For 4.5 years old!

Our primary in CA is next week, so anxious to vote in any election right now!

PPO – But part of the campaign cycle is characterizing the opponent. Tying Trump down with “good” Nazis, “shithole” countries, Mexican “rapists”, destroying families by tearing babies away from mothers…have to motivate Dems and turn indies away from Trump in disgust.

Harleigh – Can’t blame them. Trump is an obvious liar and con man to any halfway intelligent person. His con only works on the racially insecure minority in the US.

PPO – The US has lost billions if not trillions in lost tourism.

PPO – But elections are about enthusiasm and GOTV. As we’ve seen on the other side, anger is one of the best motivators. So getting people to see how horrible Trump has been will help GOTV.

“Trump” is already a dirty word.

BTW, Trump’s name has become such poison, it’s being removed from multiple hotels.

PPO – Trump just goes on Amazon and orders wives if he loses one.

Harleigh – We should publish a “Where’s Waldo” parody with Melania hiding in crowds!

PPO – I see a pincer move from armies in Canada and Mexico squeezing the US like a plastic bottle of maple syrup or whacking it like a pinata!

Harleigh – Really? Man, people move fast with concepts like that!

PPO – You can bet that all those marchers will be working up voters for November. And no one should underestimate the anti-gun youth vote coming out big time! That would be a real gamechanger!

Harleigh – But that ploy isn’t working anymore with the 60% who oppose Trump. He and the GOP have destroyed all credibility now…which is good for us and America!

Harleigh – The RW is starting to develop cracks and I think that once Mueller’s big charges are dropped and prosecution of Manafort begins in August/September, the GOP is going to cleave apart. Then after being crushed in Nov…

…they will be in full frantic mode.

Yep, it’s only a matter of time, between Dodd Frank being gutted and tariffs and corrupt deals being made by Trump and his scummy family, it’s only a matter of time until the economy crashes again. We’ve taken out retirement money out of the stock market, we know what’s coming eventually.

Harleigh – Yep but there is a way to diffuse that, Dems win Congress and the WH back, they can dilute the RWs on the court by placing many liberals on.

PPO – We have to tough it out, our institutions are being undermined purposely for Trump to gather power. We have 2 1/2 years left of him doing this but I feel confident, once he and Repubs are sent packing, confidence in our government and press will rebound.

Jim Bakker is going to survive?

I’m actually going to ask Planeteers to buy me a $35 million private jet so I can fly away to safety when the Trump Apocalypse hits. It’s not my request, it’s what God wants me to have.

PPO – We have to keep rooting for the liberal SCOTUS judges to hang in until a Dem is in the WH…and hope we lose one more conservative by then!

God sure has expensive tastes. But how am I going to fly my G13 through the eye of a needle?

I need an Airforce One. God told me.

You have to think God is really pissed off about Trump. He’s like, “I wouldn’t even waste a thunderbolt on that asshole.”

If Jesus comes back, he’s going to be carrying a baseball bat and a checklist of every evangelical preacher.

PPO – I’m hoping that the NY AG will have charges to file against Trump after he’s defeated in 2020 so he can be nailed and jailed with no pardon power in sight.

I was going to say goodnight to Harleigh but he’s already gone!

Night Harleigh, wherever you are!

PPO – Nope, only the current president can pardon and only federal charges, not state crimes so the NY AG can’t be stopped.

Ok, see you next week PPO! Say hi to Fergie for me!

Night!
