Yesterday the world lost an angel, Dolly Parton, aged 80. Tim Curry, also passed, aged 80. The only 80 year old I would love to see pass is Donald J. Trump.

elliemae.padme66's avatar

I'm with you, Joanne. 😢

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Why the good people? 💔

AnneHG's avatar

Spite keeps the nasty ones alive, maybe? But even they are mortal.

ramonaj's avatar

Celebrities always seem to pass in threes. Dum Old is NOT a celebrity, but he THINKS he is. So maybe?

elliemae.padme66's avatar

Can't find my original comment you're referring about. Sorry, especially,if something wasn't clear.

ramonaj's avatar

Thats what I said. Always the good ones.

Carole137's avatar

Me too, with both of you.

joannegucci's avatar

Me too Joanne & Elliemae 💙🍀🦋✌🏽

Jean Conley's avatar

Amen to that, Joanne. And have the other (even though they're not in the 80-age category) Ted Cruz, Clarence Thomas, Alito, and all the other republiCRAP politicians who support Dictator Donny Rump pass, also.. I'll even throw in the Democrats who are stupid enough to like and support Dump.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I agree, the entire regime and the enablers. I won't shed one tear.

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

Yes, why isn't that happening????

Why the blessed angels on earth taken, we need them here, now with us.

Why can't this catastrophic catastrophe eliminate the fat man shitting in his pants falling asleep in meetings, along with all those spineless worthless pieces of shit, that remain silent.

And the 6 Supreme Court judges that just are out to destroy our democracy ?

Why can't they all drop dead.?

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I ask myself the same questions everyday, Penny. 😔

"here’s a Canadian journalist today asking Doug Ford a question and accidentally calling Howard Lutnick, “Howard Nutlick.”....

Are you SURE it was accidental? 😁

MizLaTee's avatar

I call him Howard Lootnick! 🤣😂

Marie Wilson's avatar

NUTLICK is very appropriate!

arne link's avatar

Isn't that his name? I've always called him that.

ramonaj's avatar

Howeird Nutlick. It is all I have ever called him . I cant believe it made it to Canada 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

joannegucci's avatar

Bravo for Mr. Ford! It so GRATIFYING to see someone get right in the face of trump 😁 i only wish Mr. Ford would even kick it up a few notches, assuming he’ll be safe. Trump deserves this, to all that fuck did to other ppl, Happy 😃💙🍀🦋✌🏽

Trumpie doesn't care about toilet paper, he just shits his diaper and Natalie puts on a new one.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Let's just enjoy the hell outta that... such a fun little freudian slip... or not...

Rosie Shields's avatar

A Freudian slip!!🤣

Mary Prokos's avatar

Love that as it’s absolutely true.

Robin's avatar

I ALWAYS call him Nutlick!!! She likely always does too and it slipped out. It is a perfect name for him 🤣😅

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Come on, Dr. Annie Andrews!! You can do this, girl! You're an intelligent and educated woman. Taiwan is pulling for you too.

You are absolutely correct, intelligent and educated woman. Perfect for the Senate and the country as whole. Is this more than the South Carolina voters can handle?

Carol Gamm's avatar

Good question. But perhaps the Civil War never ended snd Darline is indeed what they want.

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

SC is ranked 42 in education and has a significant measles outbreak. Maybe if enough maga voters get measles there is a chance for Dr Andrew’s.

Linda Harris's avatar

I have very little, but I just donated some to her. She needs funds. This might be the only person trump opens up the purse strings to with some of his money. I do not want to see that worthless excuse of a woman to be in the Senate.

Marliss Desens's avatar

I donated to her campaign back when Lindsey was still alive because I do not like it when the Democratic party overlooks a candidate, and I consider her a strong one.

Wendy B.'s avatar

She has a very good chance. The latest polls indicate the majority of people in South Carolina no longer harbor good feelings toward Trump.

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

Polls in SC show trump under water. Only Idaho, West Virginia, and Wyoming have him still in positive territory, but maybe not much longer.

ramonaj's avatar

Absolutely! What is up with South Carolina. ? DUMold butt kissers.

Marliss Desens's avatar

Dr. Annie Andrews is framing the race as "The Sister and The Doctor.

Chuck's avatar

Are we SURE that South Carolina WANTS intelligent and educated? Wasn't that seat held from 1956-2003 by Strom Thurmond, and since then by warmonger and Trumplicker Ladybug Lindsey? Seems like they prefer bigotry and war over intelligence and education, based on their voting history...but maybe they will make better choices this time and vote for America's FUTURE instead of segregation and Republican "values" like pedo and theft of Treasury dollars.

Joan MacLeod's avatar

Thanks Ben for the shit show updates. As a proud, nasty Canadian I love what my PM Carney is doing, the Trump Regime and Republicans have to realize we may be polite but all that goes out the window when we're pissed off and threatened, that just makes us dig in our heels and push back. Elbows Up, Dropping the Gloves and Everybody Over the Boards is our mindset now.

Jean Conley's avatar

We Americans do, too!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Well--obviously not all Americans--I'll stop here!)

Chuck's avatar

I think that if you are "American," you choose to live under the constraints of our Constitution. Republicans have chosen to reject our Constitution since the day after J6 when they said TrumPedo's failed coup was "no biggie" and then elected --then CORNONATED-- him, giving him powers our Constitution said didn't belong to him.

I would contend, therefore, that Republicans CHOOSE not to be Americans, because not only did they illegally vote for an ineligible insurrectionist in violation of our 14th Amendment: they 💩 on our Constitution daily (today's was PedoPINO's Korrupt Klown Kar Kabinet shyster Tool Blanche trying to keep the Trump-Epstein files buried with an appeal...STILL violating the law since December. Republicans SURE DO LOVE COVERING UP PEDO! Is there a bet on whether Blanche will be in the Trump-Epstein files for abusing little GIRLS, or for little BOYS? I have a dollar to bet...)

AnneHG's avatar

Darline Graham's "work yourself to death" campaign platform is brilliant!🤣 Mail-in ballots or not, I'll vote even if I have to wait all day in a blizzard to do it.

serenity's avatar

That was the biggest thing that stuck out for me. Darline is apparently advocating for no health care. More people will be going to work sick under this administration because they don't have health insurance.

Wendy B.'s avatar

Yes, she is advocating for no health care because no health care killed her parents in their prime. Such a convincing argument.

wilma galenko's avatar

Is that something to be proud about? Parents dying because they didn't have healthcare? Work yourself to death is preferable? People like her truly are mentally sick!!!

Patricia Anne Boone's avatar

And going to work sick, spreading their sickness on everybody at work. RFK Jr. is such a moron.

Light Warder's avatar

Yes, "going to work sick and spreading their sickness"... means you get your paycheck only if the management doesn't get sick and die before you do.

The perfect MAHA motto.

Carole137's avatar

Sounds like a "brilliant" platform to me to run on, but you know the MAGA idiots will fall for it.

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

South Carolina is ranked 42 in education per US News and World Report! I would rank Darlene Graham Nordone lower. The state also has a significant measles outbreak. Certainly Dr Annie B Andrews, a Pediatric, would a better candidate.

Marianne L's avatar

Unfortunately they aren’t looking for a better candidate, just a 100% Trump supporter

Jean Conley's avatar

Good one, Marianne.

ramonaj's avatar

Agree Marianne. 👍

Chuck's avatar

In 1956, that seat was won by Strom Thurmond, who held it until 2003 when Ladybug Lindsey took it over.

Pretty sure "better" is not an adjective they value much. 😄

1956: "DO YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE? YOU'RE HIRED!"

2003: "DO YOU LOVE WAR AND CORRUPTION? YOU'RE HIRED TO REPLACE THE OTHER GUY! (you *do* hate Black people, tho, right?)"

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

I will pray they do not get measles

Richard Segraves's avatar

Far better and not withholding to the president.

Donna Di Cristofaro's avatar

Trump has managed to unite all 3 canadian parties. CONSERVATIVE, Liberal and NDP. Had approx. 80% support from his coalition

100% support from his Premiers.

This only happens during times of threats and war. Dont you dare make light of th

joannegucci's avatar

I also think the world, so many good wishes being sent from around the world, realizing its trump. But it seems the world is uniting to get rid this thing is destroying all our lives and theirs. Just feels we’re more united, and really are to remove trump maga !

RobWhitH's avatar

South Caroline is truly a weird state. It has been trouble for 250 years. It led the secession in 1861, and yesterday elected an ignorant moron to be its Senator just because Trump said so. Well, that's on them.

Jean Conley's avatar

....but unfortunately, it's on ALL of us, not just republiCRAPS. They and their beloved dictator have been, are, and will be s**ting on not only us, but themselves. Maybe they'll wake up when THEY can't afford toilet paper........... It will really be bad for them because they have diarrhea of the mouth..............

Wendy B.'s avatar

No, they didn't elect her. That was the Republican Primary: the crazy MAGA were choosing from among the unqualified, crazy Republican candidates. Their choice now has to run against someone else in the real election.

JohnC-Va's avatar

Well, she won the RepubliCRAP (love that word,Jean) primary, not the Senate yet. Her RepubliCRAP opponent is worse than she is, if you can wrap your head around that one. So the choice for the R’s was worse and worst. Worse won, but now she’s on the stupid train, spouting stupid maggot shit. Health care, with a licensed physician running against her in November, just might be the issue that gets a D in the Senate for South Carolina. South Carolina, too small for a republic, too big for an insane asylum.

LynnB's avatar

Trump is a graceless, fat, oozing blemish on the United States of America. He should not even speak Dolly Parton's name, but I am sure Dolly would have made a sweet joke about it, because she has the grace he can't even spell.

Daniel Solomon's avatar

Dolly to Krasnov: 2023.

....

[Verse 1]

Now, I ain't one for speakin' out much

But that don't mean I don't stay in touch

Everybody's trippin' over this or that

What we gonna do when we all fall flat?

.

[Chorus]

Liar, liar, the world's on fire

What we gonna do when it all burns down?

[Verse 2]

I don't know what to think about us

When did we lose "In God we trust?"

God almighty, what we gonna do?

If God ain't listenin' and we're deaf too

[Chorus]

Liar, liar, the world's on fire

What you gonna do when it all burns down?

Fire, fire, burnin' higher

Still got time to turn it all around

....

Dolly Parton

[Verse 3]

Don't get me started on politics

Now how are we to live in a world like this?

Greedy politicians, present and past

They wouldn't know the truth if it bit 'em in the ass

.

[Interlude]

(What you gonna do?) Now tell me, what is truth?

(What you gonna do?) Have we all lost sight

(What you gonna do?) Of common decency?

(What you gonna do?) Of wrong and right?

How do we heal this great divide?

Do we care enough to try?

But liar, liar, the world's on fire

What we gonna do when it all burns down?

.

[Verse 4]

Billy got a gun, Joey got a knife

Janie got a sign to carry in the fight

Marchin' in the streets with sticks and stones

Don't you ever believe words don't break bones

.

[Bridge]

Oh, can't we rise above?

Can't we show some love?

Do we just give up or make a change?

We know all too well

We've all been through hell

Time to break the spell in Heaven's name

[Chorus]

Liar, liar, the world's on fire

What you gonna do when it all burns down?

.

Fire, fire, burnin' higher (Fire, fire)

Still got time to turn it all around

.

Liar, liar, the world's on fire

What you gonna do when it all burns down?

.

Fire, fire, burnin' higher

Still got time to turn it all around

.

[Outro]

(Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)

(Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)

Show some love (Fire, fire, the world's on fire)

(Still got time to turn it all around)

.

Let's rise above (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)

.

Let's make a stand (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)

Let's lend a hand (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(Still got time to turn it all around)

.

Let's heal the hurt (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)

Let kindness work (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)

.

Let's be a friend (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)

Let hatred end (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)

(What you gonna do?)

.

Liar, liar, the world's on fire

What you gonna do when it all burns down?

Liar, liar, the world's on fire

What you gonna do when it all burns down?

Love this song!! It just makes me miss her more. She was quite a lady. 🥰❤️

Jean Conley's avatar

....and Alito, and Roberts, and........

SoCalBirdingChick's avatar

I have not heard one thing, from ANYONE, about Darlene Graham's background or experience! Is she a politician?? Is she an attorney?? Is she a childless cat lady?? What, in this ladies background, constitutes her to be a U.S.Senator, for Pete's sake?!?!

RobWhitH's avatar

She is a consistent vote for Trump. That's it.

Punkette's avatar

And she supports our military. 🙄

Karen Rivera's avatar

That could be her downfall since t-Dump absolutely does not support our military.

Punkette's avatar

True that, sister. It’s sickening. 😖

Karen Rivera's avatar

Breaks my heart the way they are treated by the Demander In Chief

Punkette's avatar

Mine too. They deserve so much better. 🫡

Wendy B.'s avatar

I checked her out. She's a state civil servant/administrator, runs state programs to help visually impaired people. She has a Master's degree in rehabilitation counseling. Thus, I was really surprised to learn that she is a MAGA through and through. How can she run programs for disabled people and be against health care?

Barbara A. Ginsberg's avatar

For the same reason that her brother voted against anything that gave rights to gay people.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Mostly we know she's Lindsey Graham's sister... that's about "it"... plus she doesn't know about anything international, but she "supports the military" - whatever THAT means in republispeak. Sound like superficial tokenism to me!

Douglas Mackay's avatar

Can Darline Graham get a smaller foot to put in her mouth? Sheesh!

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Naw... let her choke on her own foot!

"By god if you're a good American you'll just die for Trump. You don't need no healthcare, dagnabbit".

Don't vote for anyone who is against Medicare for all/Universal health care and don't vote for anyone who doesn't speak with their WHOLE CHEST about dismantling that fascist court.

Marianne L's avatar

I wonder what will happen if Dems win by a lot in November, despite all of the Republican shenanigans?

Karen Rivera's avatar

After all the court challenges and Refusals to seat incoming Dems, We The People will graciously take over our Majorities and begin cleaning house and kicking ass.

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

I just read this article in The Guardian by our former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich. Quote:

‘’Even cleaning supplies and toilet paper are up at least 5%.” Yes Ben, trump is turning everything into shit.

And the list goes on and on. These are great talking points for candidates leading up to November 3, just. 69 days away.
