Don’t forget to say “Hi!” or “Detain this!” when you arrive!
AdLiban hour ago
Hey Harleigh!
AdLiban hour ago
How are you doing today? Detained or not?
AdLiban hour ago
How’s it going? was a long week.
Harleigh
an hour ago
Hey PPO!
AdLiban hour ago
Harleigh – Work-wise or news-wise?
AdLiban hour ago
Hi, gang!

PPO – Our president is a child abuser and imprisons babies. What’s new with you?
AdLiban hour ago
Oh, nothing much…. except I donated 5 suitcases of Dad’s memorabilia – scripts, photos, letters, etc to the Dublin City Library, which is why I missed last week.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
BOTH
Harleigh
an hour ago
How cool, PPO!
AdLiban hour ago
Yep, my late brother had them, and I managed to get them out of storage to the library.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Harleigh – I know, hard to sleep this week knowing that America is a surging tyranny and 40% of Americans are cheering it on.
AdLiban hour ago
That’s neat!
Harleigh
an hour ago
Nice, PPO! Gotta feel good to be able to share your dad’s legacy that way.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad, when is The Resistance gearing up for a possible civil war? Those Nazis need stopping, and NOW! Too much damage being done before Mueller strikes
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
It’s mostly distraction to keep their thieving legislation under the radar.
Harleigh
an hour ago
PPO – I think the courts will put a stop to this criminal cruelty. I wish some country would refer charges against Trump to the ICC.
AdLiban hour ago
Yes, Ad, a huge relief that they will be safe and preserved. 50 years of Dubln theatre and movie history will be saved. It will take months to cataloge
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
And Trump thinks his base will be the ones fired up by this outrage? The world is rising up against him now, he has foolishly whipped up the forces against him and the Repubs who are so disgusting, they won’t stop this insanity from happening.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad, isn’t Guatemala or Honduras doing something?
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Harleigh – I don’t know, I think Trump is a multi-tasking asshole. He can be racist and embezzle from taxpayers at the same time.
AdLiban hour ago
PPO – They must feel like they got a treasure chest!
AdLiban hour ago
PPO – I haven’t heard about anything those countries are doing. Have you heard something?
AdLiban hour ago
BINGO! LOL
Harleigh
an hour ago
Just someone is suing Trump personally for habeas corpus, I think. Not sure now.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Meanwhile, how much of a slimy shit is Paul Ryan? Using the current crisis as cover to try and pass massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid AND Social Security?!
AdLiban hour ago
We need a SPACEFORCE so i’ll just reopen NASA! HAHAHAHAHA
Harleigh
an hour ago
Ad, They’ve hired someone to catalogue! Yes, the’re drooling over the collection.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
There is a lawsuit by the ACLU that could have a judge deciding on stopping Trump’s child stealing policy by Wed at the earliest.
AdLiban hour ago
Hey glenn!
AdLiban hour ago
Harleigh – I think someone just told Trump, “You’re an anus!” and he thought they were encouraging him to start up a Space Force.
AdLiban hour ago
Evening, gents.
glenn
an hour ago
huh? wha? medicare an medicaid? lol
Harleigh
an hour ago
Harleigh, how many companies tied to Trump will syphon money out of the Space Force budget? Yet another scam. Ivanka will design the uniforms, Melania the Helmets and boots, and Brandon…… Well, leave the special underwear alone!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
BRB She calls!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Trump’s already chosen the person to head up the Space Force:
AdLiban hour ago
We should start a petition saying that the lying bully in the oval office should be the first “passenger” on the Space Force, so he can protect our borders!
glenn
an hour ago
PPO – You know that’s a big trove of valuable items when they have to hire someone to catalog it!
AdLiban hour ago
Ad–I think Melania should get to design the jackets. And everything they design will be made in China.
glenn
an hour ago
oops, my last reply should be to PPO.
glenn
an hour ago
“House GOP plan would cut Medicare, Social Security to balance budget ”
I was thinking more along the line of Rocky Jones Space Ranger or other 1950’s silly sci-fi shit!
Harleigh
an hour ago
PPO–how cool that your dad’s collection is so valuable.
glenn
an hour ago
And what a coincidence, the $1.5 trillion their tax cuts for the wealthy cost? That’s the amount they want to cut from the social programs that 99% of Americans NEED.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad–yeah, to balance the budget that the gop blew apart with their tax cuts.
glenn
an hour ago
Ad–don’t forget, we need money for the wall, too. How else are we going to keep out those children who are going to run amok once they get out of Kindergarten!
glenn
an hour ago
glenn – We should blast Trump into space to launch and end the Space Force. A Space Army of one.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad–I’m to the point that we need to blast him anywhere, just as long as it’s out of the oval office.
glenn
an hour ago
thanks, glenn. Yes, It was more than I had hoped had survived. Delighted it is safe and preserved for all to see.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Ad–goddamn (and I hardly ever use that word) cowardly congress critters who are enabling the lying bully by not speaking up.
glenn
an hour ago
Ad, Send trump on the first and only trip to the sun. Go at night!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Melania is a sick and stupid person. She has to steal all of her ideas from Michelle Obama and wears a coat Trump no doubt ordered her to wear. And stutters out words someone else wrote for her.
AdLiban hour ago
PPO–Yeah, if they go at night, it will be cooler, won’t it?
glenn
an hour ago
glenn – We need a billion to build concentration camps too. Facism ain’t cheap and you can’t ask the wealthy to pay for it.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad–sick and stupid doesn’t even begin to describe it. How dare she wear a coat like that in this political climate? I think the living first ladies should all get jackets that say, “I care, why don’t u?” and wear them to the White House to visit first slut.
glenn
an hour ago
Ad, Won’t the Mexicans chip on? Maybe Canada! How about they fix PR first?
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Well I’m conkin out here, see y’all later zzzzzzzzzzz
Harleigh
an hour ago
glenn – If an asteroid is heading for Earth, Space Force should shoot Trump into space and the asteroid would just say, “Screw this!” and fly away from Earth.
AdLiban hour ago
‘night H. Sleep tight
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Ad–god forbid we should ask the wealthy to pay for anything!
glenn
an hour ago
Nite Harleigh
glenn
an hour ago
Ad–LOL! No self-respecting asteroid would want to collide with an orange hairball.
glenn
an hour ago
glenn – And it was over 80 degrees when she wore it so it’s clear that she was a walking propaganda sign for Trump. Which puts her on the level of a Nazi sympathizer. “I was just following orders, dahlink.”
AdLiban hour ago
Ad, to answer your email question, that was my elder – now late- brother Michael’s wedding. Did you see Louis Armstrong? I never knew we had these home vovies preserved.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
To revisit my earlier cliche joke, the asteroid would see Trump and get confused, “I thought I already passed Uranus!”
AdLiban hour ago
Ad–c’mon, let’s call it like it is. It puts her on the level of a paid whore. I used to try not to say anything bad about her, because after all…look who she’s married to. But that jacket was absolutely the last straw. That was a deliberate act of “fuck you” to the people of the United States. So, she is on the same level as her lying, bullying husband.
glenn
an hour ago
Yes! I saw Satchmo! That was so cool! As I mentioned, your brother’s wedding looked like the dream some would have for a wedding. Amazing.
AdLiban hour ago
PPO–did you post a video of your brother’s wedding here on the Planet?
glenn
an hour ago
Ad– The orange in urtrumapanus is too bright.
glenn
an hour ago
glenn – Appreciate your stating that so clearly. Indeed, a golddigger is just someone prostituting herself to one person. Would we be saying nice things about Eva Braun? Anyone who would marry a monster is at the very least, devoid of a conscience if not a bit of a monster themselves.
AdLiban hour ago
glenn, No. I was sent Dad’s home movies via Google cloud or whatever. I sent it to Ad to show Louis in Dublin with my brothers.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Ad, can we show our pals?
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Trump’s official Space Force code name will be “Black Hole”.
AdLiban hour ago
PPO – Yep, we can embed it in a post. If you could write a little introduction to it in a post, I’ll figure out embedding the video.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad–I used to think, that in all fairness, she had no idea of who she married, so I gave her a break. NO MORE! She deliberately put it out (pun intended) how she really feels. Out of all the jackets in her closet, she chose that one!
glenn
an hour ago
OK! glenn, will do shortly.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
glenn – I told PPO, it’s like stepping in a time machine to watch those home movies, very cool!
AdLiban hour ago
PPO and Ad–oh, please, I’d love to see it. How cool is it to have Satchmo at your wedding?
glenn
an hour ago
Thanks, PPO, can’t wait to see it.
glenn
an hour ago
NO, glenn, he wasn’t at the wedding. It was only one part of a compendium of bits. It covers the ’40s and ’50s in Dublin from Dad’s POV.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
glenn – Agreed though I don’t believe she chose that jacket, I think Trump had it chosen for her. Melania doesn’t have much going on upstairs, that was a political stunt way out of her league. It was Trump and/or his cronies who ordered her to wear it but take it off for the press conference.
AdLiban hour ago
Plus, we all need some cheering up after the lying bully in the oval office has brought our country to its knees.
glenn
an hour ago
PPO–oops. Still I’d love to see it.
glenn
an hour ago
glenn – I’m going to write a post about surviving the emotional assault of the Trump Era and definitely, enjoying purely fun things is part of the formula.
AdLiban hour ago
Ad–So, she doesn’t know how to say the word, “No”? She doesn’t have much going on upstairs and she doesn’t have a conscience or a soul, either.
glenn
an hour ago
glenn, it is about 15 minutes long. Satchmo is around 20 seconds near minute 10 or 11. Ella is also there.
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
PPO–Fitzgerald?
glenn
an hour ago
Yup!
pinkpantheroz
an hour ago
Way cool!
glenn
an hour ago
Ad–so, speaking of surviving the lying bully, do you think Cohen will flip on him?
glenn
44 minutes ago
Just to cleanse my mental palate, I watched an old, silly Road movie with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, I enjoyed it and it helped my mood.
AdLib44 minutes ago
Ad–I’ve been watching world cup soccer for the same reason.
glenn
43 minutes ago
Ad, I’m loving revisiting the ‘Carry On….’ Movies. Don’t know if they ever translated in the USA, but funny!
pinkpantheroz
43 minutes ago
Plus world cup soccer is fascinating! I’ll tell you, some of those men are such drama queens when they’re fouled. Lying on the ground writhing like they are dying!
glenn
42 minutes ago
glenn – She sold herself to a disgusting, fat, combed-over old man. She’s property in her mind. He cheated on her like she was a thing he owned and owed no loyalty to. People should be judged by they keep.
AdLib42 minutes ago
glenn, for the first time ever, they’re showing Royal Ascot Racing here, Her Maj herself and all!
pinkpantheroz
42 minutes ago
Ad–Exactly.
glenn
42 minutes ago
glenn – I think Cohen will flip like a gymnast on a see saw.
AdLib41 minutes ago
Hey Murph!
AdLib41 minutes ago
Hi Ad, glenn, and PPO!
MurphTheSurf3
41 minutes ago
PPO – I know of them but never saw one. Will seek them out.
AdLib41 minutes ago
glenn, they used to have oscar winning performances until the instant replay came in and showed they weren’t touched at all!
pinkpantheroz
41 minutes ago
PPO–I’ve been looking at the pictures; I deliberately look them up. Her maj seems to be in a good mood lately; I’ve hardly ever seen her smile so much.
glenn
41 minutes ago
Hey Murph–how are you doing tonight?
glenn
40 minutes ago
Murph!
pinkpantheroz
40 minutes ago
glenn – The Trump Crime Family and GOP are the political versions of soccer players always faking injuries.
AdLib40 minutes ago
Megyn seems to have that effect on the Royals! Good.
pinkpantheroz
39 minutes ago
Ad–Hope your prediction about Cohen is correct. It’s time to bring that fucker (the lying bully) down, since the cowardly critters in Congress won’t do anything!
glenn
39 minutes ago
Her Maj has a secure and popular succession (even Charles is up in the polling); her bad boy grandson is safely married; and “republican- end the monarchy” sentiment is at 9 percent.
MurphTheSurf3
39 minutes ago
PPO–they crack me up.
glenn
38 minutes ago
glenn – I can’t see Trump putting all his chips on saving Cohen when he and his family are likely to be hammered by Mueller. That means Cohen is helpless in Mueller’s sites. He’s not going to prison for Trump who’s proving he has no loyalty to him.
AdLib38 minutes ago
Ad….from what I am seeing…..he is already telling the tales……
MurphTheSurf3
37 minutes ago
Murph – What’s the latest on the Trump supporting farmers out there? Are they onboard with jailing babies?
AdLib37 minutes ago
Ad–I beg to differ. The lying bully’s crime family and the gop are always faking being human. I never realized robots had improved so much.
glenn
37 minutes ago
Murph, Australia is waiting for her to pass away before becoming a Republic, still within the Commonwealth, though, like India.
pinkpantheroz
37 minutes ago
Ad–the lying bully has no loyalty to anyone but himself.
glenn
36 minutes ago
Murph – I think he’s teasing about flipping to push Trump to paying his legal bills and coming to his rescue. Failing that, he really does flip.
AdLib36 minutes ago
PPO….is that based on polling, legislation, or a sentiment?
MurphTheSurf3
36 minutes ago
Murph–hope Cohen tells tales until he’s hoarse.
glenn
36 minutes ago
glenn – Indeed, Trump and his klan are pod people, no humanity in their hollow shells, just sulphurous fumes.
AdLib35 minutes ago
Ad…the problem for him is that Trump can only help him on federal charges, not state…that is going to take Mueller to make a d eal.
MurphTheSurf3
35 minutes ago
PPO–you think her maj is affected that much by Megyn?
glenn
35 minutes ago
Agitation for another Referendum on becoming a Republic is growing . Monarchists are gearing up for a big fight, but the Movement is gaining traction with the younger generations who 1. Aren’t British origin, and 2. Don’t see why an Australian can no be head of State.
pinkpantheroz
34 minutes ago
Murph – Cohen like Trump are wide open to NY AG charges, neither can escape via pardons though it would mess with Mueller’s gameplan.
AdLib34 minutes ago
PPO – Despite Trump trying to begin a monarchy here, it does seem hard to make the case for that for Australia, in this day and age.
AdLib33 minutes ago
PPO–Australia is waiting for the queen to pass away and Charles to take over? What difference would that make to Australia becoming a Republic?
glenn
33 minutes ago
glenn – They really like The Queen?
AdLib33 minutes ago
glenn, It certainly looks that way. Megyn and she are photoed together, and the Queen is either smiling or laughing. They opened a Bridge together last week and it looked like they never stopped chuckling.
pinkpantheroz
32 minutes ago
Murph – Asked earlier, any feedback from your Trump-supporting neighbors on jailing babies?
AdLib32 minutes ago
PPO–yeah, I saw those photos of Megyn and the Queen. Plus, Megyn got to ride in the Queen’s train.
glenn
31 minutes ago
It’s so nice to see.
AdLib30 minutes ago
Ad, Still a bunch of Old School Oiks here running the Aussie GOP ( Funnily enough, called The Liberals!), hanging on grimly to the Old British Traditions, y’know. Old Fogeys!
pinkpantheroz
30 minutes ago
Ad–how do the NY charges on the lying bully and cohen mess with Mueller’s game plan? Wouldn’t the federal charges supersede the state ones?
glenn
30 minutes ago
PPO – Makes sense. Though I would hope they’re outnumbered.
AdLib29 minutes ago
Murph, how humbled now are your co-op ‘buddies”?
pinkpantheroz
28 minutes ago
Ad….Mueller can negotiate a deal with the NY attorneys that gives Cohen plenty of incentive to cooperate….Trump cannot.
MurphTheSurf3
28 minutes ago
PPO–Hmmpf–we have a lot of old fogeys here in the U.S. trying to hold onto old traditions, like racism and misogny!
glenn
28 minutes ago
Ad and Murph–what about Manafort? Flip or no flip?
glenn
27 minutes ago
glenn, At least here, we havent got too many feral Evangelical Fundamentalist assholes poking their cant into the fray.
pinkpantheroz
27 minutes ago
glenn – You can’t have Double Jeopardy so if Mueller charges Cohen with something and Trump pardons him, the NY AG can’t pursue that charge and vice versa. So Mueller has to work with the NY AG and not charge on some things to reserve them for NY AG.
AdLib26 minutes ago
glenn, Manafort will be more a flapper!
pinkpantheroz
26 minutes ago
PPO–Yeah, you all are lucky that way. Luckily, a lot of the Evangelical leaders are turning on the lying bully.
glenn
25 minutes ago
glenn – Manafort sure seems pretty confident that a Trump pardon will save him…but he may be overlooking the state charges that could put him in prison AND Trump’s lack of loyalty.
AdLib25 minutes ago
Ad…as to my neighbors and the migrant/refugee children….mums the word….stony faces, glass glazed eyes…not our kids.
MurphTheSurf3
25 minutes ago
Ad…my understanding is that there is no double jeopardy given the different code being used…i.e. not the same crime even if it arises from the same set of events.
MurphTheSurf3
23 minutes ago
The Evangelicals better not EVER speak about any moral grounds for any of their nasty issues, they have forfeited that by saying nothing about babies being ripped from their mothers and imprisoned. Family values? A joke!
AdLib23 minutes ago
Murph, must be tough, I suppose, to realise you’ve been conned up the wazoo and can’t think of a damned thing you can do about it. Well, they should’a thought about it before.
pinkpantheroz
23 minutes ago
Murph – Do you think, despite their predictable support for Trump, they know deep down this is horrible?
AdLib22 minutes ago
Ad–Understood. I thought all along that the NY AG charges were different from Mueller’s. Here’s a thorny question. If the lying bully pardons cohen on the federal charges,
glenn
22 minutes ago
Murph, check this article out: Trump’s latest pardon has NYS AG calling for end of double jeopardy …
PPO….I don’t see much self examination from these people.
MurphTheSurf3
21 minutes ago
Ad….I do not see much self examination from these people…so, no.
MurphTheSurf3
20 minutes ago
Murph, maybe they will when the Chinese money runs dry.
pinkpantheroz
20 minutes ago
Murph–those people are not just deplorable; they’re despicable. Typical repub response–if it doesn’t happen to me, then “I really don’t care, do u?”
glenn
20 minutes ago
PPO – I remember the study of the RW nutjobs while Obama was Pres that found that the more these folks are questioned about their indefensible beliefs, the harder they cling to them.
AdLib19 minutes ago
Ad–it doesn’t stop them. They’re on the websites talking about how Dems separate babies from their mothers by abortion, so what’s the difference now?
glenn
18 minutes ago
Ad, yes, humans can be bloody stubborn when they want.
pinkpantheroz
18 minutes ago
Ad…that is interesting…it looks like NY has a specific law that erects a pretty big umbrella.
MurphTheSurf3
18 minutes ago
PPO….personal pain may be the incentive they need, yes
MurphTheSurf3
17 minutes ago
Ad–they have to cling to those beliefs because if they don’t, they have to admit they were wrong, and god is never wrong.
glenn
17 minutes ago
Glenn….I find myself in agreement…double D…despicably deplorable.
MurphTheSurf3
17 minutes ago
glenn – It’s part of NY State law that NY can’t pursue charges on anything related to a charge Feds make. So no doubt, Mueller is working closely with NY AG to protect charges that she can use against any and all Trump criminals.
AdLib17 minutes ago
Well, better get going on my shopping. Take care one and all. Ad, I’ll write something and maybe we can get the movie up for our POV family. See you soon
pinkpantheroz
17 minutes ago
Bye PPO
MurphTheSurf3
16 minutes ago
Murph–there are a few other adjectives that describe those people, but Double D works for now!
glenn
16 minutes ago
PPO–G’nite. Looking forward to seeing your movie. Take care!
glenn
16 minutes ago
Murph – Do you think this deparating and imprisoning immigrant families will work as Trump plans and increase GOP turnout or outrage more Dems and indies to turn out bigger?
AdLib15 minutes ago
I’m going to call it a night, too, gents. Good chatting with you, as usual. I’m really getting old; Sunday will be my daughter’s 51st birthday!
glenn
14 minutes ago
Wow! My best wishes for your daughter’s B-day!
AdLib14 minutes ago
51 is the new 40.
AdLib14 minutes ago
One of the most Trumpian families I know has had their grandfather turned down for Physical Therapy after only two weeks of it in a rehab having had a hip replacement. The insurance company says that their evaluation shows he has plateaued. One of the things insurers are now getting away with that ACA shut down. They are stunned but cannot cross the bridge that places the blame where it belongs
MurphTheSurf3
14 minutes ago
Ad–to answer your question to Murph, some prominent repubs, like Steve Schmidt and George Will have come right out and stated that everyone should vote for Dems.
glenn
13 minutes ago
Ad…turnout will be the key….absolutely. As to predicting….who is the most motivated and the best organized….that’s the formula.
MurphTheSurf3
12 minutes ago
Ad–LOL, g’ nite!
glenn
12 minutes ago
Murph – I’m sorry to hear that, I’m not wishing suffering on anyone but see it as the logical outcome especially for those who foolishly depend on social services that Trump vowed to kill.
AdLib12 minutes ago
Good point glenn!
AdLib12 minutes ago
Glenn…you are leaving? Good night.
MurphTheSurf3
12 minutes ago
Night to you, glenn!
AdLib12 minutes ago
Murph – No question but I would suggest that more people are going to be fed up and outraged enough to turn out than Repubs who will be excited about all the destruction to the US Trump is doing. And immigration is not the big issue people vote on according to polls, it’s health care.
AdLib10 minutes ago
Ad…I see half a dozen points of pain in the months to come….all the result of Trumpian out of control governance….but am I confident that they will not buy Trump’s call for a Red Wave so he can get “real reform” done.
MurphTheSurf3
10 minutes ago
Ad….I am certain of one thing…the ability to predict outcomes has been corrupted by the Trumpian anger, angst and anxiety.
MurphTheSurf3
9 minutes ago
Well…I am off the my bed of pain! Long, long days.
MurphTheSurf3
8 minutes ago
Murph – It’s the indies and non-voting Dems that can win or lose this. And I think, coming on the heels of the Manafort trials in July and August, and more charges from Mueller, and Cohen flipping, there will be so much garbage raining down on Trump, only his most crazed supporters will be coming out enthusiastically.
AdLib8 minutes ago
Take care, my friend! Rest well!
AdLib8 minutes ago
Ad….good call…..terrible but intriguing tv coverage will raise the interest level….IF it can be connected to Trump’s people in Congress.
MurphTheSurf3
7 minutes ago
Thanks for the good wishes.
MurphTheSurf3

Yep, I think all signs point to Trump failing in Nov. Have a great weekend!
As a great way to share this experience, PlanetPOV is hosting a live chat (live typed comments) tonight to discuss the night's results as they come in along with everything else this election will bring and what folks think it will mean for the future.
