ya know, i sure do miss the old days of du meetups.

gosh those were fun.
so many trolls about these days, i guess it is asking for trouble. tho in the beginning, we didnt post the info, you had to contact someone.

i think there was a marriage or 2 that came out of it, too.

anybody interested? i remember trying to get a couple chicago ones off the ground in a row that didnt come together. but it has been a long time, and i suspect a lot of us could use a little face time w our tribe.

tho really, i still think the hot ticket is a du cruise.

imho, the crucial task of election investigators, whoever they may be,

is to investigate those counties where this snake oil show visited.
why was he doing 5 shows a day in podunk? why was he in michigan and wisconsin? why was he dreaming about pa?

he wasnt looking for votes. he was looking for marks.
the true believers and the shifty would flood into the tent.
the kids spread a little cash around. made a few hollow promises.

and maybe he gets on the plane w enough people in the right places to say, run a drumph ballot through the machine a few extra times. or willing to slip a little thumb drive into the voting machines at their precinct.

the pollsters were surprised by the outpouring of rural voters. blue state rural voters. they swayed the results. by just enough.

start looking there.

i am at least cheered the the fbi and cia have every reason to go in there and seize machines and materials and examine them in a serious way.

but anybody willing to pick through can compare counties that got a visit v those that didnt.

i know you dont like to monkey w the rules, but in light of the evidence

perhaps adding- spreading fake news, fake concern, fud, and basically smelling like a russian troll- to the tos.
i dont think most of the subtle bs posts, that the mods would have smelled easily, break the rules as they stand for the most part.

i wonder what would happen if we had not just post like, but a little menu like fb, but ours.

after you hunt down and out that hacker, tho. and rest up.

the unavoidable conclusion- if putin wanted drumph, he already owned him.

whether he knew it or not.
he was compromised. i have seen that stated in a couple of articles about this.
he was compromised. he is compromised.
they have control, whether it is money, or favors from the mafia, or a sex tape, or who knows.
they have something on him.

you can love his sorry ass, but would you loan the man money? would you ask him to drive you daughter home?
wake the fuck up, people. the strings over the white house have never been so obvious.

can i share a little joy?

so, i have 5 kids. all crazy smart, which runs kinda deep in the family. no brag, just fact.
like all families full of such people, it was a slog.
mistakes were made.
wild-eyed parenting decisions led to them feeling pretty weird. which they were going to anyway, but i digress.

anyway, i am intensely proud of them all. but the one that has gone the farthest is my older of 2 sons, who is at u utah, getting a phd in theoretical math. our relationship is warm but rocky. he has been mad at me for a while.

well, yesterday he caved and refriended me on fb.
he isnt blabby on there. he doesnt share much.

but he writes some thoughtful and righteous posts, and i am so happy to read them again. but most of all, i have raised a young man who is as staunch a feminist as i am.
he actually used the word ovaries as a synonym for courage.
many other thoughtful posts about rape culture and racism.

and even tho he is a poor ta, he is posting about his year end giving.

i'm gettin teary.
just what i wanted for xmas.

does pootie poot have a sex tape of cheeto? graphic warning.

i predict that it will come out, if the cia really does spill its guts, that drumph was put up to this whole thing in the first place w russian urging.
they dont put puppets out there they cant control. there is evidence, it seems, that he was "compromised" a long time ago. i would presume this was step one.

and do they come any easier to compromise than this one?
with all the stories that went around about the rape charge, i decided out long ago that they had likely set him up w some poor young sex slave/s, taped it, and have him by the short hairs.

what do you think is in the furher's sex tape?

the russians didnt just influence the election, i think they put drumph up to it.

who is paul manafort, and how did he come to be his campaign manager?
we know he has close ties to russia, and is suspected in rigging the referendum on ukrainian.

V=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/04/07/from-ukraine-to-trump-tower-paul-manafort-unafraid-to-take-on-controversial-jobs/?utm_term=.3551bfd62711

i want to know how he got the job, and what he had to do with getting this gasbag off the ground in the first place.

if i were putin, i would have spotted him for a mark immediately. so, what did pootie poot do next? send his buddy to blow some air up his skirt. to flatter him. to make promises to him. an ego that size is soooo very ripe for the picking.

this goes a lot deeper than fake news and hacked emails.

how many never trumpers are there?

i want to believe that someone in d.c. is walking around w articles of impeachment in their back pocket.

is there any hope the never trumpers can save our collective ass, and will?they are the closest thing to sane republicans out there. i dont know how many there are but i am praying there are more in the closet, anyway.

they could give us the few votes we need to bring the articles, and to convict in the senate. i hope.

please dont say but pence. we could always impeach him, too if we had these folks on our side.

who do you think is/might be never cheeto? lets count heads.

dear electors,

are you absolutely positive that you are not time travelers sent back to stop the planet of the apes? or mad max?

absolutely, positively, 100%, no question sure?
hmmmm?

why shouldn't cheeto think he can get away w bleeding us dry?

it worked for dick cheney.

when the bfee walked away, all bets were off. even tho i appreciate the practicalities of the moment, all the more so seeing how everything turned out, i can wish. they knew what they were up against before we did.

but i dont recall anyone doing anything about what they were up against. the vast right wing conspiracy is still laughing and free.
