It isn’t quite Super Tuesday, but is is another interesting Tuesday for a watching party at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally. Republicans and Democrats have primaries in Michigan and Mississippi. Republicans vote in an Idaho primary and caucus in Hawaii. Overseas Democrats get a chance to vote as well.
We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the small room at the back of the tavern. We start at 8:00pm, but feel free to join us before that for the election returns.
Can’t make it to Seattle tonight? Check out one of the other DL meetings this week. Tonight, the Federal Way, Tri-Cities and Redmond chapters meet. And on Thursday, the Kent and Bremerton chapters meet.
There are 177 chapters of Living Liberally, including twenty in Washington state, three in Oregon and one in Idaho. Find—or go out and start—a chapter near you.

Michigan Mayor: DNC Tried To Kick Me Out Of Dem Debate For Cheering On Bernie
“In the Republican Debate anything goes and the audience is free to speak, shout, boo and say whatever they want to. It’s almost pure democracy mixed in with a little anarchy,” he continued. “No commentary is allowed by the audience. Particularly if you are cheering Bernie Sanders. Persons who do not adhere to Hillary’s rules are threatened with expulsion.”
“That’s not very democratic. That borders on totalitarian control.”

To be fair, the Democrat Party hasn’t been very democratic for awhile now.
@1,
not the same without the dick jokes, eh?
When your party finally flames out completely what on earth will you do? Where will you turn for the unbridled hate fest liberally (pun most definitely intended) seasoned with toilet humor and delusional rants about all your “enemies”? It’ll really suck indeed if angry loons like you are forced to settle for decorum and courtesy.
Sorry. Deal with it.
Where will you turn for the unbridled hate fest liberally (pun most definitely intended) seasoned with toilet humor and delusional rants about all your “enemies”?
Um, take a look around, DR. You’ve just described about 80% of HA, and 99% of YLB’s contributions.
@3,
It’s Goldy’s forum. His rules. If it’s okay with him for me to call you a fuckin’ asshole, then it’s okay. Dem’s the rules here. Not everywhere. The DNC gets to make its own rules. Rules you seem to suddenly support. Too subtle a concept for you. Confusing for a “conservative”. I know.
Again, sorry. Again, deal with it.
But if it’s dick jokes you want, you’ve come to the right place. That troll is a continuous dick joke on his wife.
@ 2,4
I have no problem with HA TOS or DNC primary rules. I merely provided a very ready @ 3 answer to your @ 2 query.
Maybe it’s time for Goldy to repost The Rules, starting with “This is a liberal blog…” Except for the bit about Klake being a nazi, because hardly anyone remembers Klake anyway.
@1 yeah Democrats should lower their standards now that booing, swearing to pledges with hand in the air (Heil Hitler or Drumpf) has been come so acceptable.
Got big hands Boob?
Actually a good hanging is in order here. Anyone have any trees?
Those pesky regulations – they have to spoil all the fun.

Commie conservatives.
@5,
you can certainly count on that troll for the rants about “enemies”.
I find the right disgusting. A bigger bunch of ignorant savages have never lived. Unless it’s the disgusting left that keeps enabling them, that is. Remember how they gave us Bush by having a temper tantrum and voting for Nader? Self destructive brats! Then, in 2014, as is usual, the left didn’t bother to get off their collective dumb asses and vote. That gave us the Bush equivalent of a congress and many more fucked up states. Now they’re all upset because they can’t have a socialist president. Well, guess what asshats? Even if you got one you wouldn’t follow through and give him a congress he could work with. The problem isn’t Trump. The problem is the people who know better and spend their time with their heads up their asses. They’re so smart, they don’t know how stupid they are.
@1 “To be fair, the Democrat Party hasn’t been very democratic for awhile now.”
We’re a bigger tent than the GOP ever was, but we have limits. We don’t let racists in the door, we don’t allow LaRouchies to take over, and we don’t nominate Adolf Hitler.
@11 “Remember how they gave us Bush by having a temper tantrum and voting for Nader?”
I dunno. That one’s slippery. It assumes they owed Gore their votes. But anybody can vote for their mother or dog if they want to. It follows they can vote for Nader, too. Or stay home. I’m not sure any of these votes and non-votes should count as a subtraction from Gore. He never had them, so they’re not really defections. The election was stolen in any case, and if a few more Nader voters had gone for Gore, the Republicans would have stolen that many more votes.
C’mon. Let’s give Republicans the full credit they deserve.
If you’re anything like me, you’re going to be dining out on this GOP spectacle of catastrophic political failure for years to come.
I look forward to it. And I think it’s only fair to thank them for their service.
LOL! Poor Boob. So desperate for strokes..
Damn! 1 percent shy of 100. Gotta get with it!
The most recent polls all point to resounding Trump victories in Michigan, Mississippi and Idaho today. No polls for Hawaii. Little Marco is a dismally distant fourth in Michigan. It’ll be fun to see how he spins that into a win.
http://www.realclearpolitics.c.....est_polls/
When Bob gave Little Marco his Kiss of Death, I was certain he’d flame out quickly, especially after what Chris Christie did to him. But it has turned into this slow, agonizing death spiral that has been such a joy to watch unfold.
@16,
the only reason his political death spiral has been so slow has been his own, and his party’s addiction to the grift. Why should he quit as long as the credulous simps of the “conservative” establishment are still willing to buy him room service?
@16 The best part is Little Marco won’t be returning to the Senate, either. By getting greedy and going for the White House instead of re-election he’s put himself out of work. Oh well, he can always make a living as a lawyer defending insurance cases.
@18 He acts like a twelve year old. He was only ever going to be the oligarch’s puppet that they could dangle in front of the masses while he let them continue to plunder what’s left of the middle class.
Leave it to wingnuts.
“GOP accuses congresswoman who lost legs in Iraq war of ‘not standing up for veterans’”
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/0.....-veterans/
@20,
Idiots. That’s just the only way you can explain this shit.
These guys are just flat out idiots. Dumb as fuck. And it’s really no wonder. It’s been going in that direction since at least Bush. Permission, basically, to be as shit-for-brains stupid as you wanna be, with absolutely no repercussions. From Republican Congressman calling for investigations into “Chemtrails”, to the now fully embraced lunacy of an immigration policy to physically deport 11 million people without due process. If being born in Hawaii disqualifies you from citizenship, it shouldn’t surprise any of us that a woman who gave her legs to George W. Bush would be “thanked” in this manner. I’d say it’s a shame but that concept is lost on “conservatives”.
@20,
I guess the good news is that true to form, the GOP continues to do every damn thing they can to ensure that they lose the Senate next November.
Like I said, idiots.
@20 The question is whether this jerk was so ignorant that he didn’t know, so dumb he didn’t see the irony, or so craven he actually thought it was funny.
Then again, who cares? A pox upon his house either way.
@20. Because she’s a woman and she kind of looks ethnic or non Caucasian. Is she really an American?
Today’s Primaries
Mississippi: Hillary and Trump win easily
Michigan: Sanders and Trump lead w/Kasich 2nd and Cruz 3rd
Not to be outdone, Hillary files suit to allow voting by dead people in the November election, as long as they cast a primary/caucus ballot earlier in the year.

Looks like Sanders has won Michigan. If Trump wins Florida and Ohio next week it’s probably over on the GOP side. That primal scream you’re hearing from Republican voters will only get louder in November when their party loses the White House, Senate, and possibly even the House. They don’t realize yet that only a third of the U.S. adult population are KKK members and sympathizers.

Um, the President Pro Tem presides over the Senate and that person is elected by the majority caucus.
Cart, horse. Although as you are blind it’s understandable you weren’t able to tell which one was in front. Still, maybe have an aide check your spelling and punctuation before pressing ‘Send’.
Trump and Sanders. Fuck, no wonder half the state of Michigan is in receivership.
Swear to God, if Trump is elected president I’m retiring.
Sure it’s electoral disaster for the Republican party.
But at least we ought to admit that as a standard bearer for their “ideas”, on his worst day, Trump is smarter, more accomplished, and more capable than Bush ever was on his best. But that is of course the reason establishment “conservatives” are so sick with worry. W’s greatest asset as far as they were concerned was his total disinterest in just about everything. An empty vessel of a man constitutionally incapable of analysis, he could be filled up with whatever judgements and opinions Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Card agreed upon.
@32 I hear a great place to retire is in Florida. Good luck.
@31 Look who’s been running it. That’s why it’s in receivership.
@32 To which country?
@32 Boob,
nobody who reads these comment threads believes a GD word you write; including you.
Besides, I told you a long while ago Hilz will be our next president.
So, for tonight take your small Republican hands and wank off with your Time magazine with your crush, “The Republican Savior” on the cover.
Loser Marco couldn’t even break past single digits in MS or MI tonight.
@33 The problem is that when it comes to governing, Trump is an apprentice.
I’m not sure I’ll retire, but I just might turn off the TV for the next 4 years.
I won’t be able to now. Now that I’m about to purchase a place in NYC. Otherwise I’d just might move to Ireland – real home of the Free and the Brave.
@32 you shouldn’t have let this happen, you moron.

You told me a long while ago that I wouldn’t be here any longer. Right around three years ago.

He was on the ballot?
I can hardly wait until Sanders is president and makes rich doctors start paying taxes.
This might not be the best strategy when the general rolls around.
Sahil Kapur ✔ @sahilkapur
Trump has held three press conferences in the last eight days. Clinton’s latest press conference was three months ago on Dec. 4.
Although since her response to virtually every email question has been proven false, STFU might be the best her strategists can come up with right now. Sort of a Fifth Amendment gambit.
Sounds like Boob is hitting the sauce.
Bbbbbbut they put Chelsea in charge of the water there!

Hillary isn’t exactly endearing herself to voters in that area of the country, either:
Grover Norquist: Clinton already lost the election
“Under her new rules, fracking would exist almost nowhere,” the president and founder of Americans for Tax Reform told CNBC’s ” Squawk on the Street .” “Democrats used to be able to insult the energy industry because they lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Alaska [and] they don’t vote Democrat. But she declared war on Pennsylvania and Ohio with that statement. That’s not the way to win the election.”
Clinton said in a debate Sunday in Flint, Michigan, she does not support fracking.
The Marcellus shale formation stretches underground across Pennsylvania and into several other states. The advent of hydraulic fracking set off a natural gas boom starting in 2008 in those states.

I don’t know. There is something that raises a flag about CEO’s being afraid of Donald Trump. You think they would be happy about him.
It’s not like they care if Trump is a schmuck. But maybe Trump is going to hurt them where they get hurt the most – in thier wallets.
Do they think Trumo would be a disaster for the economy? maybe they would prefer someone that will let them get away with murder.
CEOs And GOP Honchos Didn’t Intend To Focus On Trump At Secretive Meeting. They Couldn’t Help It. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....13482.html
@50 actually she never came out against fracking. She said she would be against if it was causing a problem. She weaseled out of saying that she would be against.
In Oklahoma, Red State, they are holding the fricken frackers accountable for earthquakes. As soon as all the water is polluted or runs out then maybe conservatives will go further and start to dislike it to. Who knows, maybe they’ll even start to plant some trees.
@46 Yeah, I wonder how many patients he killed with blurry-eyed diagnoses last year?
NBC has called Michigan for Sanders. Crud has a big lead in Idy-how, so Donald Hitler won’t run the table tonight.

Fracking. That’s what he’s got for us tonight.
While his party’s standard bearer is busy pocketing the KKK, Dylan Root, and the crazy homeless cat lady in the alley, promising a 30% tariff on China, and vowing to electrocute the genitals of children.
Boob gives us fracking.
Shit. Looks like I won’t get any sleep tonight.
Too busy worrying about the fracking.
Meanwhile did y’all see spinning Debbie Blabbermouth Schultzie on Megan Kelly’s show.
Remember there were no “classified” emails on her server.
The correct US terms are
Confidential
Secret
Top Secret
SCI
And all those 2,080 emails never had the word classified. Heilary is playing word games and HA DUMMOCRETINS are eating her shit pile like always!
On “Fox and Friends” today, Judge Andrew Napolitano said that Clinton was playing a word game, because nothing is marked “classified.”
“It is marked ‘confidential,’ ‘secret’ or ‘top secret,'” Judge Napolitano said, adding that Clinton signed an oath her first day in office, in which she said she understood her legal obligation to know what is secret whether it’s labeled so or not.
FACTS…
FACTS – Always a massive headache and delivering traumatic brain injuries to DUMMOCRETINS each day!
What’s interesting is in 2008 many well known national DUMMOCRETINS took a verbal pledge for Obummer. Seems HA DUMMOCRETINS forgot this!
“I pledge to be a servant to our president and all mankind.”
Google it fools!
@ 59
None of them forgot.
It’s just an extraordinary embarrassment for them to remember.
Excepting YLB. The one true Obama Girl.
@60 apparently it seems you forgot. I don’t recall this happening so I googled it. I didn’t really waste the time to read any links. But one big false equivalency.
Republican = hypocrite, allways making false equivalents, scum.
Two actors start something about pledging. And you are comparing this too the nominee himself asking for people to swear a pledge. Did Obama ask people to make this pledge.
Boob if you want your party to survive, if it ever can, you can’t be the moron that drags it down.
Bob definately hit the sauce tonight. A bet some cheap whine. Get it?
Extriudibary embarrassment to remember. Sounds like some projecting of self image. Embarrassing enough to hit the sauce.
You are extraordinarily embarrassed by what everyone is witnessing. On top of that you don’t want anyone to see your small hands.
Hey – anyone get a chance to look at the future temperatures on the east coast for the next couple of weeks? It’s SUMMER!
Wow Teabagging HHTL.
You Googled it and still don’t get it? So you forget DUMMOCRETINS expressly becoming Obummer’s servants without the candidate asking for their vote”. Trump asked for their vote!
That’s even worse for you DUMMOCRETIN servants! They volunteered for it!
Two actors. Yes they fake it on the screen. Just like you fake it here! No wait, that idiotic act is real for you!
DAYUM U BE stooooooooooooooooopid!
@65 Obama didn’t ask everyone to salute him at his request. Did he? If so send me a link.
People are free to do what they wand and two actors, actor or not, along with other supporters, did that in thier own free will then so be it. It isn’t the equivalent of Obama asking for people to raise thier hand and make a pledge on the Campaing trail. Did he do that? Again, post link showing that.
False equivalency, but that hasn’t ever stopped you before, so no, I don’t expect you to follow through with that request, because you will just comeback with some more bullshit.
You sheepish little moron. Heil Hitler. Don’t let Boob, the intixicated one, down.
You loser! Post the link tieing Obama to him asking for thier allegiance to becoming Nazis.
@66 The problem with trolls is, when stretching the truth doesn’t work, they just make shit up. Doesn’t work on the general population, but that doesn’t matter, because it always works on the dittoheads.
I pledge..
to continue laughing hysterically at the rapidly devolving political shit-show that is modern “conservatism”.
Please don’t stop. You guys haven’t done anything this funny since Dan Quayle.
