I wonder how many of us tried MAGA. It's been in our faces for so long, it's starting to feel real.
7:37 am
crosshair

It is certainly going to feel real to many Americans now that they are set to slash medicaid and food stamps in order to give tax cuts to the middle class after Trump threatened retribution if they did not vote the way he wished them to, but I guess the lower income/poor are disposable in any case, and cannot afford lawyers to fight. Low hanging fruit as it were.
7:38 am
rururocks

it's not really the middle class getting the tax benefits
7:38 am
rururocks

it's the very wealthy
7:38 am
crosshair

Even worse.

wingding

not sure how we've been able to avoid the 'influence' of the perceived slighted(maga) for so long ... did it take a rebel in orange to bring them outta the shadows .... what would they be satisfied w/going forward ... we all know how tough they are .... the fight doesn't seem to be inline w/ the reality of the alignment of class structure they are trying to define ... expand the divide
7:41 am
wingding

that "t. Low hanging fruit as it were." voted overwhelmingly in his favour
7:41 am
crosshair

Wait until the taxpayers have to pay to get that jet retrofitted--the money aloted to food stamps is a pittance by comparison.
7:43 am
crosshair

Wingding, Trump has always known the demograpic that vites for him, that is pliable.
7:43 am
crosshair

Votes*
7:44 am
MollyL

And how much money is that...that is allotted to foodstamps in the US?
7:44 am
crosshair

Look it up.
7:45 am
MollyL

I just assumed you knew since you said it was a pittance compared to what the retrofit would cost.
7:45 am
crosshair

What is needed more? Feeding the poor or Trump having a new ride?
7:45 am
coffee

Sorry I mentioned it. It's bad enough to live it and now I've brought it into my little piece of happiness
7:46 am
crosshair

Sorry, coffee. I should not bring pilitics in here.
7:46 am
crosshair

Politics
7:46 am
ChampFit

44 P's is NOT the best way to start the day.
7:47 am
coffee

This is gramma. I lost my info in the reboot and I don't know how to get myself back.
7:47 am
ChampFit

Wow. That reboot did a lot of weird stuff! Sorry that happened to you gramma.
7:47 am
MollyL

You might be kind of screwed because Dr. God is not available by email.
7:47 am
coffee

crossy, politics isn't in the grid so let's skip it.
7:48 am
crosshair

I will give ut a rest, coffee. Puppies and words.
7:48 am
coffee

I never knew how to reach out anyway. I'll just carry on under my alias.
7:49 am
ChampFit

Pen name!
7:49 am
coffee

Nom de plume?
7:49 am
ChampFit

There ya go!
7:49 am
MollyL

If he ever fixes it, his email is dr.god@playbabble.com. However, if you email that now, it bounces back
7:49 am
coffee

Good to know. ty
7:50 am
MollyL

If you hover over SEND THEM at the very bottom of the screen, that email address will pop up on the bottom left.
7:50 am
rururocks

I don't know why we have to avoid politics if we want to talk about it... as long as the conversation is civil and not name calling back and forth
7:51 am
ChampFit

Because it can be divisive and why bother?
7:51 am
crosshair

I always try to be civil when discussing it.
7:52 am
coffee

I never noticed that "send them". ruru, we don't have to avoid it. We're still free to dissent as long as we don't get scooped up in a raid.
7:53 am
coffee

Carry on. I'll be back later
7:53 am
rururocks

it doesn't have to be divisive.. it's good that I hear the other side. You and I differ on Ted Cruz but I still enjoy your comments here. as an example.
7:53 am
crosshair

Hiwever, if the majority wish Babble to be politic-free, I will respect that as best I can.
7:55 am
rururocks

it's what is going on right now and our country is in crisis. Why not talk about it to learn from others? it's better than a litany of clue giving because someone wants an 8 and the U in the corner all the time
7:55 am
MollyL

I don't think it is right to dictate what can and can't be discussed here. People can feel free to turn chat off if the discussion turns to something that distresses them.
7:55 am
crosshair

We are wound up a bit more about it, I suppose. That happens when a global suoerpower threatens to assimilate your country. We fell it a bit deeper.
7:55 am
crosshair

Feel
7:56 am
MollyL

And I agree that discussion is much better than the litany of clue giving.
7:56 am
crosshair

I have akways said the same, Molly.
7:59 am
crosshair

This also gives me insight on what Americans are thinking--other points of view that I cannot get from simply watching thevtalking heads on the nightly news.
7:59 am
phaeton

I like clue giving better...;)
7:59 am
ChampFit

gm phae!
8:00 am
swmbo

phaeton, I like the clue giving better too!
8:00 am
rururocks

I don't mind cluing if it is just helping a person find a word they just can't see. but asking for clue after clue after clue is annoying as shit
8:00 am
rururocks

shit
8:00 am
ChampFit

The pop-up thing with word suggestions is driving me nuts!
8:01 am
swmbo

Agreed rururocks
8:01 am
mael

same here!
8:02 am
swmbo

what pop up thing?
8:02 am
ChampFit

sometimes when I go to type in a word, a box pops up with other words...suggestions, I guess. coveres up part of the grid.
8:03 am
ChampFit

You have to click elsewhere on the page to clear it. annoying.
8:03 am
swmbo

No, I don't get that. I'm glad I don't
8:04 am
ChampFit

lucky!
8:04 am
rururocks

that's only for the texas players :D
