7. Thanks, Cha!

Hope you're well and having a good weekend in paradise! Here's that pic I said I would send of our President O taking the waves head on, as he did everything he dealt with....love your state!

[Cha]

9. COOL! Awww.. very Awesome pic.. may I?

Mahalo!

[Heartstrings]

12. Absolutely!

👊 as Pres O would come back with!

How are you and yours faring with the volcano? Are you close?

[Cha]

24. The Volcano is erupting

on the Big Island which is way South.. and we're on the Northern Island of Kauai.

But, those poor people who lost their homes to lava.. my heart goes out to them

Mahalo, Heartstrings

[Heartstrings]

26. Sending good vibes from the mainland to all those currently affected!

And to those who will be dealing with the aftermath....

So good to hear you're safe!

[GusBob]

2. Oookay. Maybe a few glasses of wine but I dig it

The wrong Bono part escapes me....the guy fromU2?

[edhopper]

3. Really

try wikipedia.

Or you are making a joke.

[S.E. TN Liberal]

5. Cher's ex, Sonny Bono, skied into a tree and died. NM

[treestar]

8. OK but which Bono was the right one?

Seems there is another Bono involved. And what has it to do with McCain?

[Cha]

13. Maybe they were talking about

Bono the singer who does a lot of charity work?

Sounds like the idiots they are.

She was just stating that "death" isn't over the line for them.

[GusBob]

15. I thought about it.

I *think* it means herself. As in she gets death threats, and her husband should be alive

[Cha]

21. OMG.. I think you're right.

how could I have missed that.. oh well

Mahalo, GusBob

[Kurt V.]

36. ah ha.

i believe you are correct.

[treestar]

16. True, he comes across as a liberal

though not an American citizen, presumably. Sonny was a conservative, so it might make sense.

Bono the singer does a great Bill Clinton impersonation.

[Cha]

23. Aloha treestar! Guess what? I was

wrong. GusBob just pointed out to me that Cher was probably talking about herself when repubs said the ".. wrong Bono was killed".

Of course!

Thanks for Bono!

[Tipperary]

25. Sonny was a Republican, if I remember correctly.

[Cha]

27. He was.. from Palm Springs.. and I get now that

that repubs were talking about Cher when they said "..the wrong Bono was killed"

[oasis]

35. Not only a Republican, but a representative in U.S. Congress. His wife

Mary, was elected to his seat after his death in 1998. She served multiple terms and was always in lockstep with GOP leadership. During her tenure, she struck me as quite clueless and unimaginative. But then, that's descriptive of 90% of Republicans.

[Cha]

37. Right.. I was acting like people knew

that but there's much more to the story.

I remember Cher saying once that Sonny was on reconnaissance in the republican party.. obviously joking with wishful thinking.

Mahalo, oasis

[oasis]

38. I'm glad Cher's on our side and she is not afraid to speak up.

Doing her part for the greater good. That goes for you too, Cha.

A big mahalo to you

[Cha]

39. You, too, oasis!

I also remember Cher back in the bush-Gore days on some show speaking out for Al Gore.

I just love her!

Mahalo!

[Hekate]

14. Trumpists are wishing Cher to be dead, instead of her ex husband Congressman Sonny Bono....

Got it? Cher didn't and doesn't use his last name professionally, but they were married, which made her "Mrs. Sonny Bono." So they wish she was dead instead of him.

As for the war hero and patriot John McCain, Trumpists are with their Dear Leader in dismissing his service by saying "He was only a hero because he got captured. I like people who didn't get captured." And apparently that attitude has become "Who cares what he thinks? He's dying anyway."

They are vile people.

[hlthe2b]

17. Ahole Trumpsters have always hated Cher so they have said to her that "the wrong Bono" died

Meaning SHE (their perceived liberal enemy) should have been the one to die, not Republican Sonny Bono, her x-husband.

Are you really young by chance? Not meaning to insult, but I am wondering how it is you don't know anything about Cher...?

[treestar]

29. I'm old enough to remember the Sonny and Cher show

She has always used "Cher" and so "Cher Bono" does not jump out at me. I didn't think of it at first, either. She never used a last name - I couldn't say what her birth name was. She never used Allman either.

[hlthe2b]

30. I've been a big Cher fan since way back when she was with Sonny

and knowing their son, Chaz has always used Bono, I do connect her even though she is and will always be "CHER"...

She's great, not only talented but willing to take on these nasty Trump-loving a'holes.

BTW, my comment to the other poster was because they apparently didn't know who Sonny Bono was, that he was her ex-husband, or that he'd died in the skiing accident. Not because he didn't get the "other Bono" reference. She is so iconic (and for so long, so was Sonny), that I thought they might be quite young and thus understandable.

[Aristus]

33. Her birth name is Cherilyn Sarkasian. Sarkasian is an Armenian name, but

I understand she has some Native American ancestry.

[RandomAccess]

32. That woud have been HER --

or maybe her transgender son, who knows? Both are objectionable to Trumpsters. Both demonstrate her point.

[aidbo]

45. There is of course also Chaz Bono.

Cher & Sonny’s son.

[madaboutharry]

6. Sonny Bono hit a tree while skiing

and died. He was a Congressman at the time of his death. Cher’s ex- husband. Sonny and Cher. That Bono.

[GusBob]

11. So who is the right Bono to die

I really Don't get the reference

[Heartstrings]

18. I took she would have been the "right" Bono to die....

Anyway you look at it, it's wrong.....

[edhopper]

31. hey are saying she should have died

instead of her husband, Sonny Bono.

[The Wielding Truth]

19. I think they are saying that they she should have hit the tree instead of Sonny.

They are deplorable remember? And even though they are so cruel to Cher she can see the honor in a man who will stand for the truth.

[True Blue American]

44. Sonny and Cher

Cher’s ex husband who made her a Star.

[hlthe2b]

4. Cher's a treasure and she is right!

[handmade34]

20. and this!!!

Link to tweet

DROP KICK HER MEAN ASS..OUT THE DOOR

Kelly Sadler should go

[Heartstrings]

22. Thank you for the additional info....

[BootinUp]

28. She's correct. Nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

34. Gotta give her this one.

It's just about how I feel, too. To paraphrase PJ O'Rourke once again..."He was often wrong about just about everything, but at least he was (usually) wrong within normal parameters."

[Fritz Walter]

40. My takeaway from this...

Henceforth and forever more, in my posts and comments, the word “trump” shall appear in lowercase letters only.

I’ll even take that one step further: from now on, I will refer to this sub-human in lowercase letters only:
• cadet bone spurs;
• cheetolini;
• drumpf.

This skid-mark on the underwear of our great nation does not deserve capitalization.

Now, if only there was a way to post in a lower font size...

Thanks, Cher!

[Heartstrings]

41. I will only refer to him as IQ45....

[Fritz Walter]

42. Would referring to him as 45mm be (ahem) below the belt?

45mm = 1.77 inches.

[Heartstrings]

43. Considering his past history

hitting him below the belt is totally appropriate. If an adequate target can be found, of course....
