    Last night and today has been both frightening and inspiring. For two reasons I’m glad Obama is our President: Ferguson and Los Vegas. He’s steady and humane to the core.

      I hope faux news gets the message. All of that time and money spent on this is ridiculous.

        IMO politicians who persist in repeated hearings on non-issues should be charged, even if it’s only a percentage of the money wasted, for wasting taxpayer’s money.

            Becausem, unfortunately there is no consequence. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be hearings; I’m saying there should be financial consequences for frivolously distorting the process.

            Hello, good afternoon and good to see you!
            I took my ‘wheels’ in today and got it all perked up for winter, though of course you won’t see me telling winter to ‘bring it on’.

            How goest thou?

                  No needles today, thermometer, yes, and exam. She hissed a bit at the vet, silly thing, she has known him for over 15 year now… Hmmm, maybe that’s why!! We are trying some kitty glucosamine for her arthritis, if she doesn’t notice it’s in her food. Otherwise, he thinks she’ll be with me a while longer. _^..^*_

      Chips, total waste of money and time-unless they hoped to find something, anything they could use. It worked with Clinton, who was having an affair. But they are slow learners, so they keep hoping to find that pony under the Christmas tree. Don’t they know that in a world of cellphones and social media, folks would have independently discovered something by now? If Monica and Bill was today, they would have already hacked her Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail accounts and posted the pictures everywhere. There are no real secrets anymore.

          Heard this on the radio a few minutes ago.

          Radio silence from GOP/MSM/Koch tweeters, no doubt.

          And it looks like the House GOP wants it buried.

          Poor @JonKarl, he’s as a dumb as a stump, the only thing he can utter without his notes is #Benghazi!!!

        Found this example of a little bit of real journalism on SP’s site - worth a view even if normally we aren’t fond of the journo. Republicans never have an answer. [It was in her post titled “On tape: Republicans dodge the question”

        • 28 a4alice
          November 21, 2025 at 6:49 pm

          that’s rich. what a boob. of course he doesn’t have an answer. he’s a republican all he knows is that he’s supposed to say “no”. That’s it. he has no concept of anything else. no real answer that’s actually going to help people. I don’t know this show or these guys but kudos to them for really shining a light on it.

          • 29 vcprezofan2
            November 21, 2025 at 6:55 pm

            Hi a4A!. Well, I do know one of those guys (the one who kept repeating the question) is normally a media dickhead, but must say he did do credit to his profession in this instance. The sad part, IMO, is that any other Republican on the hot seat would have given the same answers - IOW none of them have a sensible answer on ANY issue.

                  November 21, 2025 at 7:07 pm

                  yep. I hear ya. But I am glad for this. People need to see that these guys are not a friend to common people like you and me. Republicans are only interested in helping the richest of the USA. If you are the 1% then you’re in their club. If you’re not, or you are latino, black or basically anything but old man white guy you do not have their support.

      I saw this, hf, but don’t understand what it means.
      It feels like they are deliberately elongating this torture. One tweet said it was like being days overdue to give birth.

      in the meantime reports keep coming in about long lines of armoured trucks, SWAT teams ATF heading into ferguson.

      I appreciated AG Holder’s statment that Nixon has made this tragedy worse.

    We’re so jealous of Dudettes plan to see the movie this week-end. We’ll be lucky if it comes here in theatre next month. Not even on the Coming Soon list. Dumb & Dumber To is still #1. After last night and watching the Presidents speech my Hope is back more than ever. Even had to tell our financial advisor that Congress couldn’t defund it. :-)
