I just tweeted this, what do you think about this alternative approach for Dr. Ford: Maybe Dr. Ford should let Grassley block her from testifying then go on 60 Minutes with all of her supporting witnesses and documentation the night before Grassley holds the vote? Will Murkowski and Collins go along with Grassley’s rigged game after that?
AdLib 2 hours ago
I always knew Trump was part fungus.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Was that you? I saw that yesterday, or something similar. She should do it. Piss them all off and upset the script. M itch says for GOP not to worry, Kav will be the next Justice

AdLib 2 hours ago
What’s your Twitter handle, and do I follow you?
pinkpantheroz

Guess it’s not the first time it’s been suggested but I like that approach since the Grassley scam is rigged against her and the truth.

This is so obviously a scam, as someone said, Repubs just want to check the box that they let Dr. Ford speak but are already decided on voting Kavanaugh onto the SCOTUS even if he is an attempted rapist.

On the other huge story tonight, looks like the NYT have knowing published hearsay about Rosensteing that could get him and Mueller fired and destroy our democracy! WTF???
AdLib 2 hours ago
Hi glenn!
AdLib 2 hours ago
Evening, Ad. How are you?
glenn

hi glenn.
pinkpantheroz

Deliberate, Ad?
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
Hey PPO. How are you?
glenn

2 hours ago
Just fine today, glenn, though a bit upset about the NYT story on Rosenstein. Supposedly, Trump was ready to fire him tonight but was talked out of doing it tonight.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Ad–so do you think the lying bully will wait until after midterms to fire him?
glenn

2 hours ago
This gets more and more convoluted. When will it ever end?
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
PPO–It will only end when the lying bully is tried, convicted, and out of office.
glenn

2 hours ago
Can’t Rosenstein sue for wrongful dismissal, sue and get YetiPube’s tax records?
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
Ad–why do you think the NYT would print such an irresponsible story?
glenn

2 hours ago
PPO – Yes. They KNOW that the accounts they got about Rosenstein were second hand, not from anyone who was in the room when he said whatever he did. WAPO and other news outlets have spoken with people in the room and they all say Rosenstein was saying sarcastically, wiring himself to tape Trump.
AdLib 2 hours ago
glenn…money, circulation.

Well I had to get a cyst the size if a nickel surgically removed yesterday. It was on the center back of my neck at the hairline. Now I have 9 staples there. I think I’ll keep them and say it’s piercing!

Benign, H?
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
Harleigh–Just think of all the signals you can pick up with all that metal in your head!
glenn

2 hours ago
glenn – I don’t know now. With the Mueller investigation closing in on him, I could imagine Trump firing Rosenstein now on the heels of this mis-reporting.
AdLib 2 hours ago
H, did they replace it with a transponder?
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
Harleigh–seriously, though. Hope it was benign, as PPO asked.
glenn

2 hours ago
Ad–and just give the lying bully more ammunition about the lying press. I heard that his cultists were chanting, “CNN sucks” at his rally tonight.
glenn

2 hours ago
PPO – I don’t think so, I think Rosenstein can be fired without cause, only Mueller can’t be fired without cause but if Trump makes up a “cause”, there may be recourse for Mueller to sue but he can’t get re-hired without the Senate doing that.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Don’t know yet PPO. I don’t miss the voices as much as I thought I would.

AdLib 2 hours ago
Ad–speaking of “cause” for firing Mueller, isn’t that what he’s trying to do with the unclassification of the FBI documents?
glenn

H Calling occupants of Interplanetary craft!
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
glenn – Bingo! Trump is trying to “trump up” charges against Mueller and Rosenstein so he can take over the DoJ and kill the Mueller investigation. But I think it’s way too late for that, no doubt Mueller has an emergency plan, like kicking all investigations to US Attorneys and state AGs.
AdLib 2 hours ago
PPO–OMG! You’d think the one thing she’d be quiet about was that! Guess she hasn’t said anything about Dr. Ford, has she?
glenn

2 hours ago
g, of course, not!
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
PPO – I know how you feel but hang in there, the blue wave is getting bigger each day. Most normal people want the madness to stop and desperately want to put Dems in to stop it.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Harleigh – Aliens are supposed to probe you elsewhere!
AdLib 2 hours ago
Actually, all of this is so ‘normal’, what will we do when we get a real president and Congress? We won’t have half as much fun!
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
Ad–I still haven’t completely figured out what the lying bully is trying to “prove” with these documents. Doesn’t the FBI have an obligation to investigate when they think there is something to investigate? I truly don’t understand what the lying bully’s complaint is regarding Carter Page.
glenn

PPO–I read yesterday that some republicans in TX, that’s right TEXAS, are telling folks there to vote for republicans.
glenn

glenn – I think it is a violation of journalistic ethics to rely on second hand accounts and not corroborate with first hand witnesses. WAPO did, why didn’t NYT before publishing such explosive charges?

Ad–Exactly. The NYT deserves all of the scorn the lying bully will heap on them. Although, I hate to see him have ammunition, in this case, it’s justified, IMO.
glenn

poorer!
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
glenn – What I’ve heard is that this document release is coming from Fox News and those aligned with them, to force Rosenstein and others in the FBI to refuse Trump’s orders to release documents that compromise safety, giving Trump cause for firing them for refusing. This is all so evil.
AdLib 2 hours ago
PPO–I know, I’m just one of those radical libbies! And proud of it!

NC officials still deny climate change and have legislation they passed to prove it. morons.
Harleigh

PPO – Just saw a segment on Maddow that coal ash is now contaminating NC rivers and lakes due to the flooding. Mercury and other poisons in it. Could be a massive disaster that Trump won’t address because of his pro-coal mentality.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Coal ash and toxic pig shit are in the water now.
Harleigh

NC is probably the most corrupt state in the country and that’s not easy to do. A Dem is now Gov but the Repubs in the legislature are as bought and crooked as they come.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Ad–The lying bully actually tweeted that his “idea” for the documents came from Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, and Jeanine Pirro. So these three are now running the country. Great! You did say where the lying bully actually did back down about the documents today. Even though he says he may still do it, he’s backed down for now.

Harlleigh – Yep! All the anti-regulatory BS of the Repubs comes back to poison their people as anyone could have told them. But the Repub voters in NC, they’d rather be poisoned than vote for a Dem.

glenn – I heard that our allies, who would be connected to those emails and operations as well, including the UK, warned Trump that people would be killed if he released that info.
AdLib 2 hours ago
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
Ad–Those people in NC have already been poisoned; that’s why they voted for repubs in the first place. It’s just going to get worse–but they got what they wanted–no regulations. Be careful what you ask for.
glenn

2 hours ago
Millions of acres/sq miles will be contaminated when the waters subside. I don’t think I’d want to live in rural NC
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
Ad–yeah, that was the reason given. I also think someone finally read those documents and told the lying bully what was in them, which wasn’t what he thought was in them, and he used our allies as an excuse.
glenn

2 hours ago
nope
Harleigh

2 hours ago
PPO – Repubs deby Climate Change while record floods, storms, fores and natural disasters destroy the country year after year, more and more. They BS about how awful regulations are and the states with less and lax regulations get poisoned. At some point, the ignorant who support and vote for them have to be seen as adversaries too.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Same shit happened in the same places 2 years ago.
Harleigh

2 hours ago
PPO–Of course, blame the former Secretary of State for the EPA’s failings. Makes sense to me.
glenn

2 hours ago
Of course, Ad, but it affects Dems too!
pinkpantheroz

BRB coffee break!
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
Ad–The ignorant who support and vote for them know, deep in their black hearts, that they were conned, but they will never admit it in a million years. Because if they do, it just shows their ignorance, and the one thing stupid, ignorant people will never do is admit that they are stupid, ignorant people.

I mentioned previously, a good friend of mine lives in NC, on the coast right about where the eye of Florence came ashore. Still no electricity, he’s been told it won’t be on until next week. Streets are passable but markets not open. He isn’t seeing yet what destruction the aftermath will be, he’s hoping for the best but hard to see NC recovering for a long time.
AdLib 2 hours ago
nope
Harleigh

2 hours ago
Something like 2/3 of them don’t hve insurance.
Harleigh

2 hours ago
Ad–It’s always the aftermath that’s the problem. Plus the major highways have to be passable, gas stations have to have power and gas, markets have to get supplies, all of which takes time. I hope your friend has plenty of supplies/food/water.
glenn

2 hours ago
glenn – The last time Trump released classified docs about Carter Page and FISA, it blew up his and the RW’s conspiracy theory about the Steele dossier starting the investigation. No doubt a full release of docs would further blow that up but would also get informants killed.

glenn

Harleigh – Just venting but how stupid do you have to be to be a Repub in a state that gets hit by a 100 Year Storm one year then a 1,000 year storm two years later and believe Climate Change is a hoax? Have these dummies ever considered why the hoax BS is pushed so hard? It only benefits oil companies! Why do they think they should believe it?! Morons!

In floriduh we got very toxic green algae and red tide on east and west coasts from big sugar/AG… no tourists. we lose

Ad–Climate change is a hoax because scientists get money to study climate change, and if they say it’s a hoax, then they won’t get any more money, so there! That is the gist of a post I read on Yahoo yesterday. I don’t often go to Yahoo, but when I do, it’s like yaaaahooo!

What about Flynn trying the old mistaken identity with Kav, then?
pinkpantheroz

2 hours ago
glenn – Well said. It’s a legit psychological syndrome, the more evidence there is to make an ignorant person doubt his beliefs, the stronger he clings to them because he can’t accept he’s ignorant nor is mature enough to accept responsibility for bad decisions.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Ad–I know how your friend feels living in a state with a big moron population. Although, there’s hope for GA with our Dem candidate for governor!
glenn

Harleigh – I heard that only around 5% or so of homeowners have flood insurance in NC. The sad thing is, a lot of the flooded areas are where poor people live, they couldn’t afford flood insurance, they sure can’t afford to rebuild.

Harleigh

2 hours ago
glenn – When I was trying to convince my friend to evacuate (he didn’t), I warned him that I knew many people in New Orleans and Louisiana who had such horrible stories to tell in the aftermath of Katrina. I tried to warn him, it’s the aftermath that’s the most dangerous, deadly and awful. Glad he and his wife and their house are fine but it’s not going to be easy for most in NC in this aftermath.
AdLib 2 hours ago
PPO–Speaking of our education system, I read an interesting article today. People are finally realizing that the standardized testing we have been doing for the last 20 years isn’t producing any better results. And, get this that people are admitting that teachers were right when we told the so-called experts that’s exactly what standardized testing would do. At least the way we are currently using standardized testing.

pinkpantheroz

Well, look at it from Red’s viewpoint. He’s Red Tide Rick. You expect him to tackle Green Tide as well?

Ad–alcohol and potato chips or Cheez Doodles, plus plenty of peanut butter!
glenn

glenn – Makes sense that it makes no sense when these climate-denier morons try to explain why they are the way they are. I kind of think it’s just part of their built-in bigotry, against everyone not like them which includes educated and professional scientists. The Know-Nothings who rebel against education and facts.
AdLib an hour ago
Those 2 conditions down here go hand in hand.

Harleigh–considering that the green slime is mixed with the dead bodies of fish, it’s not surprising that’s how it smells.

PPO – That’s been part of the long term plan of the Repub Elite. Slash taxes and funding for education, the ignorant are much easier to manipulate.

Harleigh – Which makes it surprising that the race is tied for Senate in FL!
AdLib an hour ago
oh no shit

Harleigh – I’ve kind of given up on the US to be able to reduce carbon in time, it’s too late as it is. States are doing good on this around the country but seems like the focus may be best spent on how to engineer reducing the heating of the Earth in other ways. Saw an episode of Vice on many methods being explored to cool Earth back to where it needs to be.

glenn – Right with you on that. Dr. Ford should not bend to the rigged circus of The Senate, go around them to 60 Minutes and by Sunday, file a criminal complaint against Kavanaugh. Then, when Grassley has his vote on Monday, it will be for a guy charged criminally with sexual abuse.

Night Hareigh!
AdLib an hour ago
Ad–and therein is the dilemma for leaving, because sometimes it does take weeks to get back to your house. You may be safe and sound somewhere else, but you are worrying about your house and things. And, some people can’t take weeks off from work; I read today that some employers in NC are saying that evacuation is no excuse for taking time off. And that’s with mandatory evacuation! I do have some advice for your friend, if you’d like to pass it on. He needs to get himself some of those plastic totes with lids and every hurricane season, load them up with his important papers, insurance, mortgage papers, any financial statements, like bank, credit card and stock papers. Keep those bins in a place where you can get to them in a hurry, so you can just pick them up and take them with you when you evacuate. He should also have a bin with canned goods, can opener, water, and some other non-perishable food items to take with him when he evacuates, so he has food when he comes back. He’ll need to put some paper towels, toilet paper, rags, some tools and other necessities like that in another bin to take with him. Then when he comes back from his evacuation, he has the supplies necessary to clean up any damage. For what it’s worth.
glenn

an hour ago
glenn – Very valuable info, I’m going to send your entire message to him! He and his wife are retired, another reason I thought they should evacuate and just think of it as a two week holiday.
AdLib an hour ago
Oh, and tell him not to forget any jewelry or valuables he may want to take with him, including family pictures. Also make sure he has plenty of cash when he goes back, because if the electricity is gone, ATM’s don’t work. Anyway, he can come up with what’s most valuable to him and his wife.
glenn

an hour ago
I’m just the opposite, I’d be fine about leaving my home, knowing it could get damaged or robbed. Multiple people, including some in their home, were killed by falling trees. Not interested in rolling the dice and being trapped in the aftermath of a hurricane!
AdLib an hour ago
Ad–I wish him well, and hope he doesn’t have to go through another hurricane, even if he does evacuate.
glenn

an hour ago
Those are such great points, sending your second message to him too!
AdLib an hour ago
Ad–as we both said last week, your home can be replaced, your family can’t!
glenn

an hour ago
The sad truth is that NC will get hit again by another powerful hurricane sometime in the near future. The sea’s temperature has been rising, the warmer water stokes bigger and wetter hurricanes, this is the reality we’re stuck in right now.
AdLib an hour ago
One of his first texts to me when he saw Florence coming right at him was, “I made a big mistake moving here.”
AdLib an hour ago
Oops, I was typing my advice. I missed Harleigh and PPO leaving.
glenn

an hour ago
He’s only moved there 2 years ago, lived in LA before that. Their home looks wonderful, right on the water, like a dream. Too easy to put aside the thought of a hurricane.
AdLib an hour ago
Yep, missed PPO but got to say bye to Harleigh.
AdLib an hour ago
Do you think Trump’s short attention span will have him forgetting about people in NC?
AdLib an hour ago
Ad–Yes, I think NC will get hit again, so it’s better to be prepared. It’s not a big mistake if you can take it in stride. Be thankful you and your wife are okay, there was minor damage to his house (right?) and he learned a lesson. I hope he takes my advice about preparing to evacuate; it helps to feel you have some control of the situation.
glenn

an hour ago
Well, the lying bully has already been to NC, told people to “have a nice day” and that one guy got a “free boat out of the deal”, so his work there is done. Whatever the count of damage and lives lost was when he was there is the final count, never to be changed, and that’s that!
glenn

an hour ago
His house was actually fine, just some ancillary damage but he now swears he’ll never go through a night like that agian and will evacuate next time.
AdLib an hour ago
And I know he’ll appreciate your advice, being a hurricane newbie as he is.

Don’t you think most people are exhausted of dealing with Trump in power?

Happy to help any friend of yours.

When you’ve been very self-sufficient in life, you assume you can handle anything…but Nature can remind you how far ore powerful it is.

Do you think Dr. King will testify in front of the corrupt Senate?
AdLib an hour ago
Whoops…Dr. Ford!

OMG–Exhausted is not the word. Despairing, anguished, almost to the point of hopelessness, and at the same time, hopeful that we can pull out of it. I alternate between being hopeful and cynical as you well know.

I know but last week I saw a flash of optimism from you. Are you more confident about a Blue Wave coming?
AdLib an hour ago
It’s coming!

You know, I’m of two minds about that. On one hand, I think she should, just to get her story out there. On the other hand, McConnell has already said that they are going to push through to get Kavanaugh on the Court as soon as possible, so I wonder if it’s just an exercise in futility. I always come back to the thought that she almost has to testify just because she can’t let the repubs say she was afraid to.

It’s still an 80% probability at fivethirtyeight.com that Dems take The House. They may take the Senate too!

Ad–yes, I do have my flashes of optimism. It’s kind of like the tide that goes with the blue wave. It comes in and it goes out. Depends on what day it is.

I was thinking the same thing but am now thinking that if she did a national tv interview instead, before the vote, and was able to present other witnesses and evidence to bolster her claims, it could be more effective and protect her from further abuse from these Repubs. And could help put the vote in question.

I’m beginning to believe that it’s we women who are going to have to save our democracy. I’m so gratified to see so many women running, and also to see how women are reacting to the repubs’ latest attack on women with the way they’re treating Dr. Ford.

Playing by Grassley’s corrupt rules could only be helping them play the rigged game they’ve set up and have herself attacked and humiliated in front of the whole country.

What about on Bluesday?

I agree, but still think that repubs and their stupid supporters will still try to say she wants to avoid being questioned under oath. The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven (about testifying under oath), but that doesn’t matter to repubs and their supporters.

No question in my mind, it’s up to women to save this country. I wrote a post right after the Women’s March saying as much, women have the numbers and the high ground to take down Trump and the Repubs. They are the biggest group that is most at risk under Trump. And us men will be marching right beside them but it’s an era for women to lead.

That’s not as important to me as Dr. Ford presenting her case in full and making it as impossible as it can be for Murkowski and Collins to vote for Kavanaugh.
AdLib an hour ago
I know, but sometimes you have to beat them at their own rigged game. Because of the amount of time that has passed, I don’t think the issue is ever going to be settled, even if she does bring charges, because I don’t think she’ll ever be able to “prove” it. Barring Kavanaugh or his slimy friend, Judge, confessing, that is. No matter how many witnesses she comes up with, it still boils down to “he said, she said.” And as we both know what “he said” always counts more than what she said.

That’s what Grassley, the old idiot that he is, doesn’t get. If the public is very convinced that Kavanaugh tried to rape Dr. Ford, how can Collins and Murkowski vote for him and expect to be re-elected?

Thank you for being the kind of man that will march right beside the women!

It’s only a “he-said/she-said” if all of Dr. Ford’s witnesses are excluded. That wouldn’t be the case if she went on 60 Minutes.
AdLib an hour ago
Exactly. What is important is that Dr. Ford present her case, in person, under oath, to the rigged court Grassley has set up. I also think Schumer should be talking to the republican men and trying to get one or two of them to vote no. I would love to see a republican man come in and give Kavanaugh a thumbs down, a/la McCain with the Obamacare vote.

Does she have witnesses other than her husband and her therapist?

Grassley is rigging the Senate hearing to be a “he-said/she-said” by excluding all the witnesses who would blow that up. That’s why I now question whether she should participate in that farce.
AdLib 43 minutes ago
I know, but I still think she has to go under oath to at least convince Murkowski and Collins about her veracity. If either one of them vote no, I hope they lose their next elections in a landslide. Pretty sure Stephen King will make sure Collins loses her next election, don’t know about Murkowski.

Yes, there are classmates and friends who can testify that word went around school after the assault, that Dr. Ford discussed the attack well before Kavanaugh was trying to get on the SCOTUS, witnesses to how Kavanaugh and Judge being drunk, evidence in their yearbook of bragging about chauvinism, etc.
AdLib 41 minutes ago
Yeah, Stephen King for Senator! Collins has been a bit of a fraud at times, she is toast if she votes for Kavanaugh.

We certainly live in interesting times, don’t we? I’m running out of steam, so I’ve gotta go now. Really enjoyed our chat, and please give my best to your friend in NC.
