LABOR DAY COMETH, AND SO GOETH SUMMER

PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, LABOR DAY [9-3] 2018) — Happy Labor Day, everyone. The day marks the unofficial end of summer as we take up the life, again, of school, business, responsibility, and all of that. Here on THE PLANET, we mark the day in the most responsible manner possible: Coffee with friends  (the ones who “get” us), an afternoon ballgame, a cigar by a fountain, a romp in a park, and — with Diogenes — a search for an honest man or woman. We won’t find one, of course, but we will take a trip through time and conjure a vision of outfielder Chuck Garivaltis in his AAABA prime, in the zone with the sweetest swing imaginable.

We hear tell of an election tomorrow, but it could all be rumor. You know how that mill runs in Pittsfield, with white water driving the slats of the wheel into a frenzy. The ensuing energy gets burned off into vapor. It’s a waste that should end up in the Dumpster Behind Paul Rich, along with the Andrea Harrington lawn signs. In the end, Paul Caccaviello wins the D.A.’s office (there is no Republican opponent), and he has his shot at what passes for the big time, Pittsfield being the county seat.

We shall keep this brief today, lest it feel too much like work, a Maynard G. Krebs condition that on a day like today finds its best home on an island after what they thought was a “three-hour tour.” While you wait for The Professor to invent a way off the island, we invite you to share your comments on any and all issues. THE PLANET keeps this board open for YOUR input. Again, we ask that you put your best foot forward. Eschew the name calling. Stick with issues. Impress us, give yourself a good showing, and try try try to keep an open mind.

Enjoy the day, everybody!

Pat, I have explained a dozen times here why Socialism is a good idea, and why we are already engaging in it in many cases already. As far as open borders, I don’t even know what that means but I don’t think any plank in any platform I’ve ever agreed with advocates them. Immigrants are GOOD for our economy Pat. We need them. Let’s celebrate each others’ contributions Pat rather than denigrate the hard work of others. Love is the answer.

Not true Mr. G…..nothing like the socialism that the far left wants in place which is much different than what we have now. Extremely high taxation would just be the beginning.

I agree that LEGAL immigrants are great for this country. This has nothing to do with love and everything to do with common sense and safety as to who we allow in the country. That is showing respect and concern for the people who already live in this country. Keeping out gang members and others who would do harm since they do not have good intentions and this is done by bringing people into the country by following the law.

This is a huge problem and we must correct it as fast as we can because our allies around the world demand the truth coming from the white house and they are clearly aware that anything trump says they try to get confirmation from other reliable sources.

We can o ly hope that the joint chiefs will rise to the occasion and over rule trump because we all know by now he is incapable of being a leader and he divides people and has no ability to bring people together. His days as president are numbered and he will go sooner than later. Those that stick with him will go down the drain with him. We have witnessed two years of which I hope we never see again.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-28/trump-s-promises-to-forgotten-man-undercut-by-wage-stagnation

“The Trump administration claimed its policies would immediately boost wages, with its tax overhaul ultimately increasing average pay by $4,000 to $9,000. That hasn’t happened.”

“Trump has been telling voters that wages already are rising at historic rates, though economic data don’t show it. In various recent speeches, he has falsely claimed that wages are going up for the first time in 18 years, 19 years, 20 years, 21 years and 22 years.”

So there are just 2 of the dozens of lies this inveterate liar tells every day!

Steady voting in ward 4 and ward 5. Wonder who a big turn out favors? Big being defined as 35% or more.

Caccaveillo was able to rally dozens of people every weekend to stand in the Coltsville intersection and wave their arms around so I think between that and The Berkshire Eagle endorsement he will probably win.

And the people will have the same type of representation they have had for a long time. Same old leanings.

OK, kids, let’s keep track here.

So 9/4/18, the “journalists” at ABC are saying Dems have a 14-point lead in the midterms:

“Rebounding from a tighter contest in the spring, Democratic House candidates now lead their Republican opponents nationally by 52-38 percent among registered voters in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll – a lead that holds up across a range of likely voter models.”

And:

“Surpassing that Democratic lead in vote choice, 60 percent of registered voters say they’d rather see the next Congress controlled by the Democrats, as a check on Trump, than by the GOP, to support Trump’s agenda. Preference for Democratic control is up 8 points from a year ago.”

Should probably listen to the “journalists” because they’re always right.

Just got a disgusting flyer in the mail, showing Harrington with Marchetti, Ruberto and all the good ole boys and girls.

That puts and end to her chances. I wouldn’t vote for her now no matter what. Another WHEN (Women Helping Empower Nobody) but themselves candidate.

Sister. Ditto These are the gobsigs I talk about. Have you ever heard Edgerton make an intelligent remark? Another tytr ring kisser. I believe there is going to be a big change in city govt.in 2020 because people are tired of these halfwits and appointees like Edgerton who possess no skills. Of course she has a plum job and was appointed by secretary tytr

Disgusting display by these crazed screaming women at the Kavanaugh hearings. They acted coked up or on some really nasty drugs. They were truly shameful and frightening. I felt so sorry for the Kavanaugh children who are more than likely traumatized by the bizarre far left behavior. I was really worried that they would attack people since they sounded so crazed. They think they represent all women. As a woman, I’ve got news for them….very few women would want to associate themselves with their antics or their extremist causes.

Crazed screaming women pat!!! They are braver than all of us who post day in and day out. In a real democracy it is called freedom of speech and they exercised their freedom of speech. What you observed was patriots railing against dinosaurs like grassley and cornyn. Thank you screaming howling women you were magnificent today. I wish I had the courage to do what you did today.

Pat is correct, Gaetani – there’s no excuse for their shameful behavior! There are rules in place for law & order during confirmation hearings. Mob rule has no place in our society.

That is so much baloney Art Seller. You and Dick Durbin are both wrong. This is democracy at work according to you and Mr. Durbin. No, this is insanity and lunacy at work. Women are trying to be recognized as capable and strong and we get this whining outlandish behavior. NOTHING to be proud of!!!

Shameful that they ALLOWED the Democrats to speak but sounded like screech owls when Republicans spoke. Why? Because of their fear of not being able to have abortion rights supposedly…a lot of nonsense since abortion has been abused by so many for so long.

Pat and Gigi. I assume you are both women. What you saw today were brave women who came to the hearings with a message and exercised their constitutional right to be heard. They delivered and they knew they could be arrested and offered no resistance when they were These are the type of people who sacrifice for the benefit of the masses and that includes you. We need to be thankful to these type of people because they move democracy forward. Look at any news source tonight. They are the lead story.Does this make any sense? Have you e er protested. I have

That is NOT sacrificing for the benefit of the masses. That behavior is making complete fools of themselves. It was rude and disrespectful. These are NOT mature women, but women acting like children who are upset when they don’t get their way. The only thing they are moving forward is mob rule. They are the lead story because they acted like such jerks not because of any heroic behavior on their part. It’s called infamy.

Awful display by these crazed Clinton upstarts, probably paid from the foundation to create havoc so that a good Judge could have the hearing and be confirmed. Dems said they only have ten percent of the Info on the Judge, then say they have more info than any other candidate for S C J ever? Apples and Oranges if you ask me.

I don’t know what is wrong with John Krol but something clearly is.
Brain Marquis
1 hr ·
Gotta hand it to John Krol. He wasted no time bullying Teresa Bianchi at a Columbia Avenue polling station this morning.

Mrs. Bianchi (former Mayor Dan Bianchi’s wife) was a couple feet over a 150 feet polling station buffer line; Krol asked to move; she refused – so he called the cops.

Yup, you guessed it. The maggot called the cops on a sixty something female just because she stepped a couple feet over what he believed to be a buffer line.

And yes the detail cop came out from inside and approach Mrs. Bianchi . . .

Now, if you know shithead Krol – you can guess he was over the line too.

So, Mrs. Bianchi would only move if Krol moved. Finally the maggot moved – so she followed suit!

Public enemy number one . . .

Pat and Gigi. Yes they move democracy forward. This sentence requires contemplation.and serious thought. Remember they exercised their constitutional right of free speech. At a public hearing like the confirmation hearing free speech is encouraged and when they were out of order they were arrested and didn’t resist. America is what it is today because we exercised our first amendment right.The Viet Nam war came to an end quicker than it would have because protesters spoke out against the administration in droves. If things were reversed you two would be yelling bloody murder.I have no dog in this race and I want these proceedings done in a fair way. The gob stuffed Merit and now the dems will stuff kavanaugh.

We better pray he is interested because he is very busy and has his eye on a mega project overseas where he can make mega millions of dollars but I know India is not a place he particularly cares to be.
