Really MSM? Hillary is Married to Anthony Weiner?

Then for all intent and purpose, trump should be blamed for Manafort’s interfering in the Ukraine, the shoplifting PR spokesperson before the latest one, Bannon trying to choke his wife and the voter fraud in Florida. Just to name a few. Right?

Spot on, AdLib!

The msm are sick, slimy bastards. They’ll win nothing by pushing this nonsense.

Trump Claims Hillary is a Zombie, MSM Asks Her to Prove She’s Not

Of course it’s “zombigot”! How kind of you to find my errant “i”. 😳

Funny, AdLib!!

He poses a dissensus. Is she a zombie or a bigot? A zombgot or a bigie? Does he know the difference between a bigot, a spigot and a gigot?

Sorry GOP, Trump is Like Herpes…There’s No Getting Rid of Him

I thought the same about Collins who is supposed to be a moderate and have more sense than the others. Yet why did it take so long? Would she have been ok with an extremist like Cruz, and don’t they know that their party has been rapidly going downhill since 2010?

I was thinking of the poisonous Cane toad, the one covered in warts that secrets a poison on its skin that affects the function of the heart. Must be that one because who in the repub party has a functioning heart?

Yes, taking back the Senate and maybe even the House seems doable now. Time to throw out the trash. There have been too many worthless objects littering up your Congress for far too long now.

» Posted By Kalima On August 9, 2016 @ 2:32 am

Well that’s what happens once they kissed the toad instead of the frog AdLib, and he didn’t turn into a handsome prince after all, but left them more diseased than before they allowed him to wreak their dwindling world completely.

Looks like trump has really stirred the hornet’s nest. I’m quite amazed that Senator Collins still thinks that there is a republican party left to save.

Lobbyists…Good or Bad?

Hello, Nirek, sorry I’m late, it was a busy week last week.

If lobbyists are working for the people, then of course their work is to be appreciated and commended. If they are working for rich, tax evading corporations and bribing politicians, they are appalling. Bribing is illegal and many officials worldwide have gone to jail for this, or lost their jobs. Unfortunately the majority are never caught or prosecuted.

I remember a scandal a few years back in the U.K. where developers who wanted to destroy the beautiful “green belts” of the British countryside, sent lobbyists who payed huge amounts of money to cronies and aides of Cameron to meet with him for a few minutes to persuade him to give permission for their wanton destruction. It was front page news for a few weeks, someone was investigated, and then came the excuses. They weren’t bribes, they were campaign contributions. Right. The man at the centre of that storm neither resigned nor was punished, he was just moved to another post within the Cameron cabinet, a habit that occurred continuously during Cameron’s terms as PM. There are hundreds of law suits now by residents who have lived there all their lives and for generations, who don’t want their peace and way of life invaded. Thousands of houses already built are inhabitable because of sinking and flooding.
The same thing is happening with much despised fracking in the economically poorer regions of northern England.

Corruption is rife the world over, and unfortunately, money buys a lot of silence.

I was here on The Planet when the CU ruling came down from the SC, and it was one of the most disturbing rulings I have witnessed in my life. The only conclusion I could come for for such a disgraceful ruling was that the SC judges who were in favour of it, had been bribed too. There is no other explanation for throwing the voting public under the bus. It gave permission for outright corruption in your democratic political process. The sooner it’s overturned the better. Elections are for the people who go to vote to decide. That is democracy. Anything else is a mockery of your Constitution.

An Intervention For Republicans Supporting Trump: How to End an Abusive Relationship

From what I’m reading from domestic and international sources, his campaign is in such a disorganised mess now, and the debates will just prove what everyone has been saying about him and that he is unfit to be president. Being the bullying coward that he is, and his fury at any criticism, dropping like a stone in the polls he loves so much, he might just drop out of the race. We might not even have to wait another three months to see the back of him. Who knows?

A wonderfully blended reality check spiced with the craziness, greed and cowardice of the gop. Nice, AdLib!

It must be hard to predict what a madman might do next, and he’s done just about every cringeworthy thing that no stable person would do, especially one running for the office of POTUS. The only thing he hasn’t done yet is shoot someone on 5th Avenue to see if people will still vote for him, and streak naked around trump tower singing “When you wish upon a star.” There are still 98 days to go, so who knows what he’ll do next. It’s getting so that I’m afraid to open up my computer to check the news in my mornings. It’s trump, trump, trump everywhere, and not in a good way. America please hurry up and make him disappear. I swear I’m suffering from trumpitis

Well it’s a possibility, KT, after all, he is nuts, but I posted a photo here a few years ago, where the darned thing did a full handstand on a very windy day. I’m sure it wasn’t trained to do that and embarrass its owner.

Two people touched my heart tonight. The President when he talked about his white grandparents and the change of tone in his voice. Then Bernie Sanders sitting there with his wife when Obama praised him and finished with “Feel the Bern” which brought a wistful smile to Bernie’s face.

Many won’t know what they have had until he’s gone.

» Posted By Kalima On July 27, 2016 @ 9:48 pm

Funny you should mention repub trolls, KT, as I had though that being likely. In 2008 there were so many on HP who admitted being payed for it. In 2012 we had some here on The Planet too but they were soon shown the back door. Stands to reason that they would try to widen the gap between Bernie voters and Hillary voters at this crucial time.

» Posted By Kalima On July 27, 2016 @ 9:28 pm

Just finished watching the President’s speech, and he knocked it all the way to the moon and back. He was sensational! America has been so very lucky to have him for the last almost 8 years. An incredible man of passion, honesty, integrity with a deep love for his country, the American people and determination to improve lives for the better.

Simply wonderful!

» Posted By Kalima On July 27, 2016 @ 9:09 pm

Hi KT, ran out of buttons so will reply here. Yes, I understand your frustration and would suggest not to engage them anymore. Alienating will only end up with a loss of votes for Hillary with those who are still undecided, and that was my point about the video not being helpful at a time that Hillary will need every vote she can get. Multiple kudos for you for remaining polite, I know only too well how difficult that can be at times.

Now I really have to get some work done.

» Posted By Kalima On July 27, 2016 @ 7:10 pm

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion, KT, but generalisation is never fair or accurate. You mentioned once that you commented on Yahoo, if that is the case, then I’m not surprised that you encounter the worst of the worst from any party.

My point was that the Dem party will lose a majority of the 20 to 40 year old voters for the next GE, even those now willing to vote for Hillary to stop trump. i respect and understand how you feel, but this conversation was about the video and rubbing salt in the wounds of voters, not just the busters; who might still be deciding to vote for Hillary. Her becoming the next president should not be taken for granted even if trump has insulted many groups of eligible voters. We have no idea how people will be feeling on Election Day, or what could happen in the time from now until then. All we can hope for is that more people will come to their senses, but it won’t happen if the insults don’t stop on either side. Trying to force people to do something or make them feel guilty, will usually have the opposite results. That is one thing I remember about my own youth.

I will miss most of the initial reactions after the election because I leave for Europe on the 6th of November and won’t be back until the 14th. I also won’t have the time to access a computer. Those stupid enough to vote for trump are thankfully in the minority. Those not voting at all are throwing away a chance to be a part of defeating a monster. That’s on their conscience should he win.

You and others are happy to vote for Hillary. Bernie supporters are being asked to vote for a person they don’t trust, don’t like, and don’t want to vote for.

So we will just have to agree to disagree on the merits of the video at a time Hillary will need to garner every vote she can get.

» Posted By Kalima On July 27, 2016 @ 5:46 pm

If you don’t need them, why insult them further?

What with the insults to young women voting for Bernie from the Clinton campaign, the demeaning Berniebros also from the Clinton campaign, the blatant disrespect for the man they trusted and voted for, and the fact that every younger generation known to man has always protested against doing things they believe to be wrong, the holdout are not on their own.

I watched many video clip from both inside the convention hall and outside, and there were just as many older protesters as there were younger protesters. It was inevitable that not all of the 18 million who voted for Bernie would vote for Hillary, it happened in 2008 with some who voted for her, so why the double standard?

In 2008 there was Palin the clueless to deal with. This year it’s trump the clueless. My point is that trump is ahead in a few states, and now is not the time to alienate any of the voters who are still considering a vote for Hillary. She still has a tough fight on her hands, and a win, or a landslide is not a given. Having hope is good. Being complacent is dangerous.

In four years these voters will get to vote again, and will probably not be with the Democratic Party tainted by the behaviour of the DNC and the elite Dems.

» Posted By Kalima On July 27, 2016 @ 4:00 pm

You know what, Fergie, this is exactly the kind of thing that will turn off the 85% of Bernie supporters who have said that they will vote for Clinton in November and make them rethink their decision. If you remember their valid anger at being insulted by the Clinton surrogates and Bill Clinton, then painting any group with the same brush could prove to be counterproductive. Not all young people are the same, not all Bernie supporters are young people, it might be useful for Clinton supporters to remember that as only half of her fight is over, and the constant ridicule after giving up their dream of having Bernie as the nominee, could just as easily backfire.

» Posted By Kalima On July 27, 2016 @ 3:35 am

Well put, AdLib, and yes, the Bernie or bust crowd need to take a cold shower because all they are doing is undermining Bernie’s efforts to bring sides together to beat trump. Thinking about the way he was treated by almost every corner of the media, the Hillary crowd and now the DNC, I don’t think that most people understood what it took for him to be standing there last night. The same can be said for Bernie supporters like Nirek who I know has spent endless days and nights agonising over his decision to vote for Hillary to beat trump. These genuine feelings from Bernie supporters should be applauded, not condemned or asked/demand for more as I think they are very brave and honorable. Pushing someone into something they really don’t want to do, insulting or bullying them usually will bring the opposite results

I didn’t watch much of it, but did hear Michelle Obama’s speech and Bernie’s. Just before Michelle’s speech there was a woman talking about how she had been swindled out of money by the so-called “trump university”, she had to shout to be heard above the noise and that was the height of bad manners.

After the first convention day, I flitted around the internet until late at night and was appalled to find those screaming the loudest for for party unity, picking apart Bernie’s speech. Talk about in-your-face hypocrisy.

About a month ago I left a link twice to the latest poll of Bernie supporters. 85% said they would vote for Clinton in November, and only 9% said they would either not vote at all or maybe vote for trump. It’s inevitable that not every person from the 18 million who voted for Bernie will vote for Hillary, so isn’t it about time that the 85% who said they would be treated with respect and to stop the whining about the comparatively small percentage that won’t no matter what?

» Posted By Kalima On July 26, 2016 @ 5:36 pm

Couldn’t agree more, kes when you say the election is hers to win or to lose.

The email scandal is blamed on the Russians while Hillary’s unpopularity is blamed on Bernie Sanders. I can’t figure this out, can you?

As for his speech containing his platform. What was wrong with that after the impressive fight he put on in the primaries? He was a formidable opponent, not an annoying fly to swat away. I hear the word respect being thrown about, so where was the respect for him and his “must have” supporters? Was his speech supposed to be only about Hillary, and would people have been more impressed if he had slit his wrists on the stage and asked for forgiveness for being good on his campaign with a message millions wanted to hear, but an obstacle to the already decided nominee? Whatever he did was for some illogical reason never good enough.

I’m grateful that I have never built my life around excuses, they always appear so hollow to me. Time to concentrate on beating trump who believe it or not, actually got a bump from the venom he threw up at the convention from hell.

Stay cool and goodnight from me.

» Posted By Kalima On July 26, 2016 @ 8:15 am

Ppo, Bernie Sanders has been asking his supporters for quite some time to support Hillary, so what else do Hillary supporters expect him to do? Knowing for sure now that the DNC elite plotted against him, I think his speech yesterday giving Hillary his full support was both admirable and honorable. People who thought he wouldn’t deliver quite honestly amazed me. Why wouldn’t he after he promised he would? Treating Sanders like the enemy was a huge mistake on the part of Hillary supporters, and blaming him for a few holdouts is petty. It’s time to leave the majority of Bernie supporters alone. 85% have said they will vote for Hillary in November, and yet I still hear people criticising them, painting those who will and won’t with the same brush. I think it should stop because those who said they would, could always change their minds. If Hillary supporters want her to win, they should be going after the one man who will destroy their country.

Many people have had to swallow their principles to agree to vote for Hillary, and to come to this decision took a lot of agonizing. I think they have come far enough by voting for her in November to beat trump, so one thing they will never be happy about is voting for someone they feel they can’t trust and who has left behind the progressives and the liberal left. I imagine those who will vote for her to stop trump, feel like they have been wearing shoes a size too small for months. Nirek has come far. From never voting for Hillary to voting for her out of respect for Bernie. I believe that no other concessions or explanations are necessary.

Now if Hillary wants those votes she needs to win, she will have to prove that she will work for all the people who will vote for her. Not one can put the blame on Bernie anymore.

The only thing that Americans should fear, is trump himself. Not just because he’s a racist arsehole, but because he is totally clueless about everything to do with domestic and foreign policy, except he knows how to screw people, sue them, and is not this great businessman that he claims to be. Who the hell runs a country like a business anyway?
