Harleigh

Harleigh

emouluments…. laundering….etc. HAHAHA

Harleigh

this is way more serious and more fun than watergate

Harleigh

Happy New Year, everyone!

pinkpantheroz

spanky just ain’t up for it… the General has a big dumb mouth…. who talks like that really

Harleigh

Mueller has extended the grand jury time for up to 6 months. Something brewing, certainly

pinkpantheroz

there’s like 4 states gonna hang his ass and just wait until his charity case is filed…

Harleigh

Can’t wait till #Individual1 becomes #Defendant1 !

pinkpantheroz

hey PPO!!

Harleigh

harleigh!

pinkpantheroz

it includes his kids too

Harleigh

Ad, won’t lawyers try to stretch it out for years?

pinkpantheroz

Hey peeps! Que pasa?

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD!

pinkpantheroz

FD!! DUDE!!

Harleigh

How is everybody here in 2019 on a Friday evening?

Fuzzy Dunlop

Happy New Year to all!

glenn

Are we all more optimistic this week? I certainly am

pinkpantheroz

Hey Glenn!!

Harleigh

Hi glenn.

pinkpantheroz

Hey Ad, Harleigh, FD, and PPO.

glenn

Happy New Year glenn, may it be the year of the women. It’s your turn.

Fuzzy Dunlop

but Rudy is the lead lawyer… 2 week trials max LMAO

Harleigh

FD–Woo-hoo! About time!

glenn

mistrials due to incompetent lawyers

pinkpantheroz

Heaven knows women can’t possibly fuck things up as badly as we men have, for centuries!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Love the Lady-locker-room talk!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–And isn’t drug use and crime up in areas where women work? Something like that, according to tuck the suck.

glenn

I was thrilled to see all the lterally hundreds of women winning as dems nationwide in all venues. GOOD.

Harleigh

I just came from an active thread about that Ad. That’s the dumbest horshit I’ve heard in a while, and that’s really saying something.

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO–Yeah, that’s one tough lady! Or at least that’s what they would say if a man said what she did.

glenn

Be careful what you wish for glenn!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Harleigh–finally, at least part of Congress is beginning to look like the rest of America. Which is why all the old, white men are scared shitless!

glenn

Ad–Yup. Or that if wasn’t for women, we wouldn’t have any men! /s/

glenn

Yep, and of course cited “social science experts (which he failed to name) as his source. Funny how the right just loves science…when it suits their agenda.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD–you mean wishing women were in power?

glenn

Ad, not soon enough. Fuckers like Tucker and floozies like Ingraham need to be off air altogether

pinkpantheroz

the women that got elected were voted in by men and women…. it was not a 1 sided deal at all. gobsmacked about Ortiz…. like wow

Harleigh

Harleigh – that dance video attempt sure backfired mightily!

pinkpantheroz

No, wanting to take on the huge pile of troubles we face. but I think women will do far better than men have. We’ve been fucking things up right royal, for centuries on end.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Harleigh–I love, love, love how Ortiz triggers repubs, and then beats them at their own “game” on twitter.

glenn

FD, hate to burst bubble, but there’s still McConnell and his toxic Senate

pinkpantheroz

PPO–and where, pray tell, was McConnell in the situation room meeting today?

glenn

Dunno g. Didn’t see today’s stuff yet

pinkpantheroz

FD–okay, got it. Hey, we can’t do any worse! Especially since the age of the lying bully!

glenn

Ad, I’ve been in and around the recovery community for three decades now, and I never once heard an alcoholic of heroin addict blame economic disparity for their addictions. It’s total and complete paranoid propaganda, like someone said, will eat it up with a spoon. Especially those misanthropic Incels!

Fuzzy Dunlop

he repubes look at Ortiz like just some dumb female spic. She’s gonna tear those moron fucks up. he is educated, smart, savy with a good crew and beat an imcumant with a machine.

Harleigh

Hey Murph!

glenn

Murph!

pinkpantheroz

for now P, for now!

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD,

pinkpantheroz

Harleigh–republicans could never deal with strong, intelligent women. But they have nothing on Ortiz, and she just keeps handing them their asses!

glenn

she is….

Harleigh

Howdy All……what a nice day we have had in the House for the last two days……I called the Speaker’s Office yesterday to congratulate Speaker Pelosi. The woman who answered thanked me and asked what state I was from. When I told she was a bit stunned. I told her that even in ultrared Misery there are men who look to women for prudent leadership.

MurphTheSurf3

Saw the cowardly Ryan slink off to ignominy without the courtesy of handing the gavel to the most powerful woman in the USA

pinkpantheroz

hey murph!!

Harleigh

That’s because she’s smart glenn, and more courageous than they’ve ever been, or will be. She’s also GENUINE!

Fuzzy Dunlop

McConnell is 9 points behind Trump in favorability in his home state. Rock and a hard place.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad–awww, poor McConnell. Not to worry, he can live off his wife’s salary as Transportation Secretary. At least she’s getting paid.

glenn

Footloose AOC!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Congressperson Footloose! Has a nice ring

pinkpantheroz

Murph–what a nice gesture.

glenn

Glenn…yes and his wife is getting a big raise……exempted from the shutdown……in the next few days.

MurphTheSurf3

I like it P!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Hey Murph!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Glenn…I was proud to do it. I am proud of Nancy and all of the women, AND men in the House who made yesterday so special and so hopeful. Small minded Trump tried to grab the spotlight with his “presser” show…..no one was impressed.

MurphTheSurf3

FD and Harleigh….Howdy!

MurphTheSurf3

PPO–Not only is Pelosi the most powerful woman in the USA, she’s third in line to the presidency! Take that, repubs. Yeah, and cowardly lyin’ ryan not even hanging around to watch/preside over the peaceful transition of power. Talk about lack of civility!

glenn

45 is getting worse. Good

pinkpantheroz

spot on, glenn

pinkpantheroz

Oh P, he’s getting more bonkers by the day. What a frickin lunatic!

Fuzzy Dunlop

And Ryan could have been a guest of the House and offered his congratulations. Of course, one would have to be a real man to do such a thing.

MurphTheSurf3

I’m hoping and prayin Ortiz does not become a shrieking shrew but keeps offering solutions…. not that I’m ever skeptical…. but the dance video and her response to those rediculous faux outrage puts her toward the top of my chart.

Harleigh

Murph–it does look as though fewer and fewer people are “impressed” with trump.

glenn

Pence must be rubbing his little hands for when Mother lets him do Presidential impersonations

pinkpantheroz

Harleigh–even if Ortiz does become a “shrieking shrew”, she can never out-shrew Lindsay Graham.

glenn

What did you all think of the Romney WAPO editorial…..planting his flag on McCain’s ground, making a play for 2020, or just getting back a bit of his own?

MurphTheSurf3

Lady Lindsey drives me crazy.

MurphTheSurf3

and the otange retard isn’t going to get his wall. That’s the proverbial straw that will break the backs of his supporters. He’s got them so convinced we absolutely need them to keep those nasty immigrants from raping their daughters, mothers…and fathers, yep father rapers too, are coming, if the wall ain’t bilt.

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO–did you see his face yesterday when he had to swear in the first openly bisexual member of Congress on a law book, no less. That was priceless!

glenn

Flipper is irrelevant, even in the destroyed GOP. Non event for Pretzel

pinkpantheroz

hink about this…. look how far spanky has declined since his invisible airplane and elton john speeches. whoa doggies!!

Harleigh

S/O to Arlo Guthrie!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad..yes and Ryan’s successor in his home district has largely snubbed him as well. I wonder who will pay him to just be a bit of a decoration in a think tank. “The Ayn Rand Scholar”.

MurphTheSurf3

H!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Murph–I thought romney’s editorial was pissing against the wind. He said nothing; and he will vote with the lying bully and the republicans every time. His time is over.

glenn

glenn, absolutely cringe personified. Hee Hee

pinkpantheroz

don’t forget, Mittens is Mr. 47%.

Fuzzy Dunlop

glenn it was a constitution book thingy…. the real stuff and not the buybull. this woman seems to be for real too.

Harleigh

Leopards don’t change their spots.

Fuzzy Dunlop

FD. The poor buggers seem to forget that their every word is on video somewhere.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–and Ryan didn’t even have the civility, common courtesy, decency to hand over the gavel. What a coward!

glenn

Another uppity woman made Pence swear her in with thomas jefferson old KORAN!! fuckin priceless.

Harleigh

for realz P. They have also become emboldened by the orange anus to the point of their on detriment.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad, wait until their Gummint subsidies and Social programs dry up. No one else to blame anymore.

pinkpantheroz

Harleigh–yeah, I like her too. She was proud and tall when standing opposite pinched-face pence.

glenn

harleigh pure genius to do that. Poke him in the politest possible way.

pinkpantheroz

That too Ad.

Fuzzy Dunlop

70 percent of those so called gubmint freebies go to white people that are mostly trumpf supporters.

Harleigh

6 of some/half dozen of the other.

Fuzzy Dunlop

How are those soy bean farmers now?

pinkpantheroz

Okay, folks, here comes my cynicism again. How many of you think the longer the shutdown goes on, the more chance there is that Dems will cave? Not because they’re weak, but because they want government workers to be able to pay their bills, feed their children, and keep their houses?

glenn

Yesterday at the Greyhound Bus Terminal (saying so long to some guests) I got a chance to speak with a fine young man, a marine in language school (learning the two major tongues in Afghanistan for a tour there). Hispanic. Parents from Mexico. One a citizen, the other a year off. Own a bodega in one of St. Louis’ predominately Hispanic neighborhoods. Salt of the earth. Loves America. Loves Mexico. Hates Trump….big time. He was present for a Trump Visit at Paris Island where Trump compared his experience at the New York Military Academy with their experiences. They were polite but generally silent. Disdain.

MurphTheSurf3

Harleigh–love those uppity women!

glenn

glenn, that’s not a cave. It is proper government for the people.

pinkpantheroz

Murph–but according to the latest polls, the military loves the lying bully…..

glenn

PPO….as one who lives in a state where Soy is a principal cash crop…..disaster, disaster, disaster….and the farmers just do not know how to react.

MurphTheSurf3

Oooo, burn! I like it!

Fuzzy Dunlop

they will not cave or Ortiz and our women will raise holy fucking hell… Pelosi has a plan and they dare not start pushing on her

Harleigh

They sort of have to, glenn. At least publicly. I’d like to conduct a more personal survey!

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO–yes, I know it is. But you know how the repubs are going to frame it.

glenn

Murph, the GOP will now scream for the Dems to dig the farmers out of Trump’s hole!

pinkpantheroz

I agree….no caving….the GOP is already feeling the heat…..there will be some face saving that Trump can point to but anyone who knows anything will put a pin into that balloon. A prick for a prick.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–perhaps you could just give them a little nudge as how to react. You know, don’t vote republican in any election.

glenn

Pelosi has tump’s number, big time. She knows what makes him tick and how his money and power addled mind works.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Glenn…what polls re. the military are those…..of course Marines, especially Hispanic Marines, may have a special distaste for him.

MurphTheSurf3

FD hope she and shumer keep the pressure on, while still taking care of business elsewhere, unlike the other lot!

pinkpantheroz

Oh, I think they will.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Glenn…those blinders are still firmly in place….there may come a time when I can offer such a nudge but not yet.

MurphTheSurf3

Harleigh–I really hope you’re correct. But Dems actually care about people, and repubs care about their agenda. And, the lying bully has been getting away with this shit for all of his life. Stiff contractors, tie them up in court for years and years, then “settle” for pennies on the dollar. He’s gotten away with it all his life; what makes this time different?

glenn

Murph, where is the soy lobby? Surely they have a huge voice?

pinkpantheroz

Ad….if the Dems can get the Dreamers off the hook along with a pull back on the outrageous abuses at the border……some money for border security is ok by me.

MurphTheSurf3

the house can now supena any records they want… trumpf will have more shit coming at him than he can dish out of his’big dumb mouth’.

Harleigh

Ad. I think so……

MurphTheSurf3

Ad. True. Trump has to come into line. His threat to keep the shutdown going will backfire on him when his own support is destitute.

pinkpantheroz

I am watching Joy Reid interview Nancy Pelosi…two impressive women.

MurphTheSurf3

H, they’re going to make his tax returns public. I think that’s what trump is so frightened of. Nobody works that had to keep something from the public if it’s above board. Trump is so screwed, and it’s about time.

Fuzzy Dunlop

I love Joy!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad….the filters of anger, fear, hate, are powerful indeed.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–Nearly 6 in 10 military veterans voted for Republican candidates in the November midterm elections, and a similar majority had positive views of President Donald Trump’s leadership. But women, the fastest growing demographic group in the military, are defying that vote trend. That’s according to AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of more than 115,000 midterm voters — including more than 4,000 current and former service members — conducted for The Associated Press by NORC at the University of Chicago. It found that veterans overall approved of Trump’s job performance, showing high support for the president’s handling of border security and his efforts to make the U.S. safer from terrorism.

glenn

glenn. Ignorance is bliss…

pinkpantheroz

Glenn…not surprised at the “vets”. For those in uniform right now….the experience is a souring one.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad….that would be a good solution.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad didn’t dems already co-approve money for border maintenance?

pinkpantheroz

Murph–the Dems have already given the lying bully “some money”. Most of it has not been spent; plus they offered a little over 1 billion; the lying bully refused it.

glenn

Oh man, every time trump hears the phrase “steel slats,” he wets his Depends!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Glenn…I know this..a difference will be that oversight will expose such practices.

MurphTheSurf3

FD….and eats a half dozen big macs….with a diet coke.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–yeah, considering that most of the vets are elderly, white men, it’s not surprising.

glenn

Ad….begin with the Nixonian GOP Southern Strategy and where we are now makes horrifying sense.

MurphTheSurf3

Murph, I keep hoping trump will get a Big Mac Attack, as in, a major coronary.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Glenn…yes.

MurphTheSurf3

bingo murph

Harleigh

Remember Red Fox as Sanford? Hoping for the “Big One!”

MurphTheSurf3

I’m comin Ivana!

Fuzzy Dunlop

I wonder if his upcoming medial will end up in his having to resign for ‘medical reasons’? Face saving way out.

pinkpantheroz

Murph–“Elizabeth, I’m coming to join you!”

glenn

Hoping for a massive karmattack and drops like bretfart did… painfully in the street.

Harleigh

PPO–that’s assuming he wants a “way out”. I think he’s enjoying his twitter reign too much right now.

glenn

LOL FD

Harleigh

I hope a stray dog pisses on him, just for good measure.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Have any of you seen “Vice”- its flawed but still a devastating portrayal of the GOP….I wonder what film opportunities exist in playing Trump?

MurphTheSurf3

Death is a “way out.”

MurphTheSurf3

Murph–Alex Baldwin?

glenn

Oh, It has to be Alec Baldwin, but in a slightly toned down portrayal.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad–I will never, in a million years, how people who lost a war, can be so damn proud of losing!

glenn

FD. NO! No more publicity for this bastard.

pinkpantheroz

I gotta check that out.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Yeah, you’re right P!

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO–which bastard? Baldwin or the lying bully?

glenn

I think it has to be a true portrayal of a demented sick old fat fuck.

Harleigh

45

pinkpantheroz

They should have John Waters direct, or David Lynch!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Why not Tarantino? Blodbath!!!

pinkpantheroz

I think there’s a method to her madness, Ad. But then again, you may be right.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad–this is where the newer members of Congress, especially those like Cortiz, may do some pushing back on Pelosi. I can understand Pelosi’s stance on the ACA, though. After all, she’s the one who presided over and got the votes for it.

glenn

Not creepy enough, P.

Fuzzy Dunlop

ACA has to be reinforced first…..

MurphTheSurf3

Clever of her to spread the policies arou nd and not concentrate on just 45

pinkpantheroz

PPO–ooh, Tarantino with orange hair would probably look just like the lying bully! LOL!

glenn

Man, what a dreadful sight that would be, glenn.

Fuzzy Dunlop

Ad–yeah, some of the pictures I see lately of the lying bully’s supporters, certainly “prove” that white superiority thingy!

glenn

FD–maybe not as dreadful as the original!

glenn

Good point, G!

Fuzzy Dunlop

ACA can’t get fixed with this senate but I have been in health insurance for years and the medicare model from most of our 36 allies that many got thr idea from us is the only way to go

Harleigh

I can tell you that enthusiasm for Trump is definitely on the decline here in Mo…..there is a feeling that he is all they have but that he is not measuring up to his promises.

MurphTheSurf3

glenn, that’s the problem, when art cannot come close to imitating life!

pinkpantheroz

Absolutely Ad. BTW, I got my Medicare card in the mail a few weeks ago. Yep, I’m an old fuck!

Fuzzy Dunlop

So, Ad, how do you support those who support Medicare for all, without it turning into a Dem civil war with Pelosi supporting the ACA?

glenn

7000 plus lies and broke all his promises… how stupid does one have to be to trust or believe him

Harleigh

FD–oh, please, I’ve had my Medicare card for 5 years! You’re just a “young’un”.

glenn

I think a better question would be, how HATEFUL?

Fuzzy Dunlop

5 years here….

Harleigh

a basket of venality!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Harleigh and FD–well, I think the lying bully’s supporters have shown us how hateful they can be. The question is, how low can they go?

glenn

Damn, I thought I had reached fogeyhood already!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Harleigh:

glenn

I was at Pasta House today for lunch…a crowded restaurant…..in the middle of rural Mo. My table was all “libs” and we were enthusiastic so our pro-Dem conversation was easily heard…..for the first time in my memory…..no pushback from other tables.

MurphTheSurf3

glenn, they haven’t hit bottom yet, sad to say. And we may never get to it

pinkpantheroz

No doubt Ad!

Fuzzy Dunlop

PPO–As long as the lying bully is in office, he will just keep digging the hole deeper and deeper, so there never will be a bottom.

glenn

true, g

pinkpantheroz

Trump is going to lose this Wall fight, and then he’ll lose his base. They don’t give a rat’s ass if he shoots someone, but they want that wall.

Fuzzy Dunlop

medicare ans SS are not paid for out of general fund tax dollars and had trillions in the funds until bush/cheney

Harleigh

Murph–yeah, they’re not quite so smug any more.

glenn

Ad….good Med 4 All strategy.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad–okay, sounds good to me. I think Pelosi deserves all of our support; and I hope she continues to kick the lying bully’s ass.

glenn

Well, gents, this old lady is wearing out. Take care, everyone, and hope to see you all next week. G’nite.

glenn

med for all saves over 3/4 trillion per year in premium and overhead excess charges….. next up…. drug prices

Harleigh

Sweet dreams G!

Fuzzy Dunlop

nite glenn

Harleigh

Trump’s mother was walked over (and a bit of a trophy too)….Trump has no idea how to work with women as a equal….Pelosis is poison for him.

MurphTheSurf3

I think it’s about time for me to do the same. Night all, and Happy New Year!

Fuzzy Dunlop

Bye Glenn

MurphTheSurf3

nite fd…

Harleigh

Sorry, folks, but I have to head out. Thank God today is only 75. yeaterday was 107.6! Have a great 2019 all.

pinkpantheroz

FD…checking out….pleasant dreams.

MurphTheSurf3

PPO heading for the door…..so soon….well, have a cool day.

MurphTheSurf3

nite folks!!

Harleigh

And there goes Harleigh…..the beer must have run out.

MurphTheSurf3

Well Ad…just me and you.

MurphTheSurf3

Something I said?

MurphTheSurf3

What did you think of Vice? The skip over of Cheney’s role in the first Iraq War seemed to me to be a major hole….says a lot why he wanted a round two to get Hussein….Daddy Bush and Stormin Norman overruled him.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad…he is such an arrogant shit….I truly hope so.

MurphTheSurf3

Trump’s Wall….Trumpty Dumpty Sat on the Wall…and we know what happened next.

MurphTheSurf3

Finishing watching Pelosi with Reid. She is full of energy.

MurphTheSurf3

I saw the film in a theater in a very affluent area…….I wish I could have taken a poll regarding how it was received.

MurphTheSurf3

A woman friend is now the head of the Dem Party in my county. I was part of the group that supported her and insisted on the party here taking “the risk”. She is already doing a bang up job.

MurphTheSurf3

“Vice” did capture the “gestalt” of the Cheney years…..among the things I missed was the Bush decision to have Cheney vacate his WH office and the end of the daily lunches in his last two years. Daddy Bush warned him and he did not listen.

MurphTheSurf3

Our new chair is a high school principal and very respected….she is presenting herself as a champion for education and for children.

MurphTheSurf3

Stolen his power and led him down a disastrous path.

MurphTheSurf3

My understanding is that George HW Bush did not want Cheney near W…..he had soured to him because of the way he opposed the end of hostilities in Iraq…he wanted to take down Hussein and create an Arab/Muslim Israeli state.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad. Agree. Still W Bush is a very trivial man.

MurphTheSurf3

Did you see the Obama Tweet that he would stand with “us” in the growing opposition to the GOP and Trump?

MurphTheSurf3

Ad…yes. Decider led by the “chider”.

MurphTheSurf3

Obama was reacting to Nancy’s election….

MurphTheSurf3

Agreed.

MurphTheSurf3

Time for me to head for the door as well. Ending on an Obama moment is a good place to exit.

MurphTheSurf3

I hope that the Dems don’t beat each other senseless in the run up to 2020.

MurphTheSurf3

Good night……rest sounds good.

MurphTheSurf3

Ad…that would be good.

MurphTheSurf3
