Tim “Biggest lie of my life” Eyman has been accused of shoplifting. It appears he stole a chair, valued at $70, from an Office Depot in Lacey. Have a look for yourself:

Via KOMO News:

When [officers] responded, one of the employees told officers he had noticed an office chair near the entrance was missing, checked surveillance video and saw a man wearing a shirt with the words “Let the voter decide” emblazoned across the front, the police report said.

Surveillance video from the store showed Eyman walking from a service desk where one employee said he was helping him sort out an issue with his printer, the police report said. Eyman then can be seen walking into the foyer, sitting on a displayed office chair, spinning in it and wheeling it out the front door.
The employee said he did not pay for the chair.

Eyman then walked back into the store to exchange a printer for two other ones. An employee helped him out to his vehicle but was stopped just short of it and told by Eyman, “I’ve got it from here,” the report said.

The officers investigating the theft have “forwarded a recommended charge of third-degree theft to the City Attorney.”

Of course, Eyman owes the State a boatload of money after being held in contempt of court following his refusal to turn over court-ordered documents. He is also being sued by WA AG Bob Ferguson for pilfering and misusing initiative campaign funds.

The lawsuit and fines have, apparently, led to a divorce, and to Eyman declaring bankruptcy late last year.

So…I suppose he was just trying to furnish his new bachelor pad?

The list of shading behaviors that Tim Eyman has been accused of and, in some cases, has confessed to is long: lying and stealing donor’s money for his own personal gain, campaign finance violations, misappropriating campaign money, and contempt of court.

Alas, it appears we can add shoplifter to the list.

It’s like the guy is building his resume for a 2024 GOP Presidential nomination.

6:07: There is a small crowd here at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern for Drinking Liberally.

6:08: Why is Melanie wearing pajamas.

DemocratIC agenda. Don't be petty.

6:10: He has said absolutely nothing so far.

6:11: Wait…”The Great Crusade” wasn’t the liberation of Europe! He is basically feeding his base with anti-Islamic dog whistles.

Not everything is an applause line.

6:19: The economy is good. That’s because Trump inherited the Obama recovery, and he hasn’t totally fucked it up. Yet.

6:22: What companies have come back to the U.S. as a result of the G.O.P. tax scam?

6:23: The U.S. is a net exporter of energy. But that was achieved under Obama. “Thanks Obama!”

Our economy is so hot Trump is gonna move on her like a bitch

6:29: I hate these fucking anecdotes. For every Alice there is a Joe Arpaio, so fuck off, Drumpf.

6:32: Here comes the bullshit “dangerous southern border” part of the speech.

6:33: “Caravans of refugees are coming!!!!!11!1!!1!” When, exactly, did Republicans become such fucking cowards?

6:37: Human traffickers, MS 13, and caravans, OH MY!

96 Americans die from gun violence every day. Every day. Yet, Trump will never mention that. He's only concerned about victims of crime when he can use their stories to further his agenda

— Joe Sudbay (@JoeSudbay) February 6, 2019

Human trafficking? You mean like what may have happened to the kids this presidential administration lost track of after they took them from their families at the border? #SOTU19

— Ruth H. Hopkins (@RuthHHopkins) February 6, 2019

6:42: Let’s see…Drumpf says 300 girls rescued from 1000 pimps!?! That is a very large pimp to girl ratio!

6:45: Drumpf describes his wonderful “barrier”. Did he get some funding from Mexico yet?

"I will get it built! And Mexi….uh.."

— Sam Seder (@SamSeder) February 6, 2019

6:46: “Walls work and walls save lives”. That should convince the Mexicans.

6:48: “More women serving in Congress than anytime before.” Drumpf does get sine credit for that, but not how he thinks!

6:50: “First ever program focusing on economic empowerment for women in developing countries.” Bullshit. Obama and Clinton had such programs. Hell, Shrub probably did as well.

Trump has one move. Scare white people that brown people are rapists, drug dealers, murderers and sex traffickers.

That is All This Is.

Race baiting plain and simple. #SOTU

6:52: USMCS is pretty much a slightly modernized NAFTA.

Before the week is out, our Trump-loving, @GOP-voting neighbors & co-workers will "know" with true Republican certainty that Trump & the Republicans are to thank for all the women now serving in Congress.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

— Mordant FreedomVoter (@MordantFV) February 6, 2019

Did Trump claim credit for the electoral backlash against Trump?

— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) February 6, 2019

6:56: Drumpf declares a war on “global freeloading”.

Note to @realDonaldTrump: Patients with pre-existing conditions already have protections written into law. It's called the Affordable Care Act. Stop the attacks on our care. #SOTU #HealthCareVoter #ProtectOurCare

— Laura Packard (@lpackard) February 6, 2019

7:01: Drumpf is all about paid family leave. We’ll see how long that lasts.

7:06: Yay for more nuclear weapons! “Mush Room Cloud! Mush Room Cloud!”

Applause for withdrawing from the INF treaty?! WTF? Who the hell applauds a failure in nuclear arms control agreements?

— Mordant FreedomVoter (@MordantFV) February 6, 2019

Nothing scares seniors on universal basic income and single payer health care like talk of socialism.

— ⚡️LOLGOP⚡️ (@LOLGOP) February 6, 2019

7:16: Drumpf says “radical regime of Iran” as if he is trying to convince people (and himself) it is true.

7:23: The State of Our Union is 75 years ago.

I bet Judah doesn't think there were good people on both sides. #SOTU

— shauna (@goldengateblond) February 6, 2019

7:29: Drumpf gives a stirring speech asking us to chose greatness. Tomorrow he will Tweet something about “Cryin’ Chuck”.

7:40: Ummm…happy lunar new year?

Stacey Abrams looks great, relaxed & strong! She's rocking this #SOTU response!

— BCarniello (@BCarniello) February 6, 2019

Good chance @staceyabrams would be giving this speech as governor of GA not private citizen if it wasn’t for GOP voter suppression

— Ari Berman (@AriBerman) February 6, 2019

How dare he speak of Dachau when he created this. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/CsdZ6o1CAs
