Please join us for an evening of conversations over a drink or two at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.
We meet 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 beginning about 8pm.
Can’t make it to Seattle? Check out one of the other 228 chapters of Living Liberally, including nineteen in Washington state, three in Oregon and one in Idaho. Find, or go out and start, a chapter near you.
Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid, and the surviving Raiders, who held their final reunion in 2013, have been down to one — Doolittle’s copilot — since June of last year.

It’s Spring. Book season.
Shortly after, Clinton’s aide Huma Abedin approached Clinton and told her Obama was on the phone.
“It’s the president,” Abedin said.
When Clinton received the call, she realized she had let down the president, herself, her party and the country.
“Mr. President,” she said on the phone. “I’m sorry.”

Not likable enough, it turns out.
Maybe he can hire a B-list Hollywood celebrity to do it for him.
The 30-year-old multi-millionaire doesn’t live in the district he’s trying to represent in Congress, which means he’s going to miss the traditional Election Day photo-op of him voting for himself.

Sorry. But your Great White Savior Трахните лицо Фон клоун палку has them all booked through 2020 or the inevitable frog march. Whichever comes first.
1 – The Army Air Corps had horrific losses in WWII. If fact, the percentage losses were actually higher than anywhere else in the US forces. Had the rest of the military lost men and equipment at such a high proportion, the outcome of the conflict may have gone the other way.
Nowadays things are different. The Air Force has improved it’s survivability immensely, and the Army certainly enjoys the air superiority. If the Army really wants to kill people and destroy property, it likes to use the Air Force whenever possible.
In GA-6 Tom Price carried the district by 23 points last fall. Romney did likewise in 2012. Given those results from the last two major elections, in a nationwide tossup election battle a Republican candidate could be predicted to carry this district by about 9.5 points – a 9.5 point Republican lean compared to the nationwide mood according to the results of the last two elections.
There are 47 Traitor held House seats that lean more Democratic than GA-6. That’s why this district matters. It measures how much the Treason Party’s support for Трахните лицо Фон клоун палку and trading national sovereignty for Russian oil leases has weakened them with their own voters. It’s not really about “Resistance”, although that movement is crucial to crushing the traitors and removing them from power. It’s a measure of how badly the Traitors are harming themselves.
The truth is, many Republicans hate Donald Trump. Just like Hillary Clinton was supposed to win in 2016 (it was, after all, her turn to be President), Jeb Bush was supposed to get the nomination. The establishment Republicans would rather lose control of House and Senate than see a Trump-friendly Republican win GA-6.
So, Democrats, things are looking up for you.
There’s no such thing as an “establishment” traitor.
Ryan? McConnell? Chafetz? McCarthy? Collins? McMorris Rodgers? McCain? Those pieces of shit kiss the Russian treason ring whenever Pissident Fuckface Von Clownstick passes by. The entire “conservative” enterprise has sold itself and, however much they can, our national security and prosperity to a badly conceived long-con.
The people turning on them now are the very same aging, backward, ignorant, racist, dupes they’ve been dog whistling for the last fifty years.
There’s only one Republican party. And it is utterly irredeemable.

Wow, somebody must have pissed in your cornflakes this morning!
I see Nicki Haley (spelling? – naturally) has come out to condemn Chechnya for the torture and killings of the (shhhh – gays). About time. If you can’t do that you only validate and give credibility to ISIS. And if you give ISIS that credibility then maybe they have other points they are right about? Who knows? Maybe something for the Infidels to think about.
Max thinks he has a bright side.
Our point estimates suggest that a one dollar increase in the minimum wage leads to a 14 percent increase in the likelihood of exit for a 3.5-star restaurant (which is the median rating), but has no discernible impact for a 5-star restaurant (on a 1 to 5 star scale).

Surprisingly, not from Fortune, but instead a working paper from the Harvard Business School.
Not unlike the experience found in SF, Capitol Hill restaurants comping Goldy free meals are doing just fine.
Limited-service restaurants in Seattle? Not so much.
Congratulations, Goldy. You’ve done your share in the furtherance of Two Seattles: Restaurants favored by Belltown hipsters and by Ed Murray’s neighbors are doing well, but people commuting in from Kent or from north Everett have increasingly fewer places in-town in which they can afford to eat.
11 – Who is Max?
…but people commuting in from Kent or from north Everett…
Says it all. Either bring your fucking wallet, bring a lunch pail, or stay the fuck at home. Get a paper route or convert the spare room into a “salon” or whatever the fuck hillbillies do to make money in those kinds of places. We are not in the business of subsidizing your stupid hillbilly choices anymore.
9,
Racist traitors like Врач немой ебать have been doing far worse in every ignorant hillbilly’s cornflakes for the last fifty years.
Sorry. That was not “special sauce” or “11 herbs and spices”.
@ 14
We are not in the business of subsidizing your stupid hillbilly choices anymore.
Alternative version: We got you your $15. Now STFU and hurry up with my avocado toast, because I don’t want to be late to the Fifth Avenue Theater matinee again.
@3 I hate to be the bearer of unpleasant tidings, but she’s more likeable than you, Doctor Dumbfuck.
When Republicans devour Republicans.
“Trump’s Acting Like a Lame Duck.”
http://www.latimes.com/opinion.....story.html
@12 The abolition of slavery cost America millions of $0 per hour cotton picking jobs. Doctor Dumbfuck still has PTSD from that one.
@13 A troll whose ass looks like the surface of the moon from getting kicked so badly on this blog.
@18 Which Trump? The smart young President Trump who’s got a far better grip on policy than her dad (see, e.g., all the policy reversals of recent weeks), or the old retired fart who spends most of his time concentrating on his golf game?
You know, it’s worth it to taxpayers to fly Drumpf to Mar-o-Lago every weekend if he stays there and lets his daughter run the family’s Washington office.
P.S., don’t take this wrong, I’m not saying she’s the perfect person to have in charge of the country, only a better one. (To put things in perspective, a dog would be better than what Republican voters elected.)
@ 18
Steve, buddy, the GOP spent the last presidential election cycle devouring itself.
How did that work out for your ilk? To make things easier, you can begin with Associate Justice Gorsuch, and make your way down from there.
For maximum points, Steve, please show your work.
The GOP spent fifty years, and billions of donor dollars building to the last election cycle.
And they’ll be lucky if they have a stupid red hat to show for it.
They’re all in the traitor pool now! And everyone’s pretending not to piss.
Our point estimates suggest that a one dollar increase in the minimum wage leads to a 14 percent increase in the likelihood of exit for a 3.5-star restaurant (which is the median rating), but has no discernible impact for a 5-star restaurant (on a 1 to 5 star scale).
So, we can add, “helps eliminate mediocre restaurants” to the long and growing list of benefits from a high minimum wage? Great!
And here I thought “frustrates economically-ignorant Dumbfucks” was the main incidental benefit. (Kinda like rainbow crosswalks do for bigoted Dumbfucks.)
20 He probably bears an uncanny resemblance to you then, rodent.
25,
Don’t forget “helps discourage sleazy, broken down, aggrieved, cheapskate, hillbilly, disgraced radiologist dude-bro assholes from ruining every good establishment in town” to the list of benefits from a high minimum wage. $30/hr?
@23 “How did that work out for your ilk?”
In case you haven’t noticed, you’re in the same boat we are.
@26 You need glasses. I look nothing like Little Maxie. You couldn’t pick your own mother out of a lineup. Assuming you know who she is.
“How did that work out for your ilk?”
By “ilk”, you must mean “red-blooded American”, as in a red-blooded, loyal and patriotic American struggling to count all the goddamned Russian stooges ensconced in the White House while hoping to get through the day without our nation’s dumbfuck Glorious Leader initiating a first strike nuclear salvo to start WWIII. But seeing as your a hashtag traitor, I imagine you’re thrilled with all this shit. Congratulations 3,000+ times to you, Doctor Dumbfuck. Way to sell out your fucking country.
What happened when Der Drumpfer sent American sailors in, um, harm’s way:
” … photos released by the U.S. Navy showed the aircraft carrier … moving away from North Korea when U.S. officials said it was moving toward the peninsula …. The ship has changed direction since then, but is expected to arrive far later than initial reports suggested. … [A]n dministration official blamed the mix-up on a miscommunication.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: I can see how this might play out in a real crisis. North Korea launches a missile at Japan and U.S. Marines invade Canada.
@31
Which would be about the same as a Saudi funded group of Saudis based in Afghanistan launch a plane so invade Iraq.
Shorter Dumbfuck @12:
I don’t have any evidence of any real problem actually caused by Seattle’s high (and rising) minimum wage, so I’ll cite a speculative study and lecture you on it as if it’s real.
@12
Where we see that a troll thinks the Subways, McDonalds, and Taco Times he’s been going on about for two years are 3.5 star spots.
Average to slightly above average places close all the time. People want cheap or memorable but never neither.
Looks very much like GA-06 will go to a runoff pitting Ossoff against a college dropout who used to sell greeting cards and got into politics making coffee for Dan Quayle’s wife.
And who knows? The hillbilly traitors might even pull out a close win in a two candidate race. In a solid red district with a 9.5 point
Republicantraitor lean they are fighting for their very lives.Progress.
Newscorp’s WSJ tweeted out tonight that Loofa Bill is fired.
Sick of all the winning yet, traitors?
@ 35
Expensive message if it turns out to be a Maxwell Smart one.
Progressive activists led by the liberal blog Daily Kos pumped $8.3 million into Ossoff’s campaign largely because it represented their best odds out of four special elections for previously Republican-held House seats of flipping one and sending a message.

Unrelated, but three Marlin pitchers combined to just miss no-hitting the hapless Mariners tonite. Only a double with one out in the ninth prevented the Ms from looking as impotent as Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s former manhood.
The crickets were a disappointment as well.
I’ve been reading a good book and should just go to sleep but it just occurred to me
@12
3.5 stars by who?
Michelin? Nope, sorry 3 is the highest.
Yelp? Yeah as reliable as Infowars
Local food critics?
Zagat? Nope, they use points
UrbanSpoon?
James Beard?
Guy Fieri?
KING5 Best of Western Washington?
gityerfeedbagon.com?
The Lawfirm of Dewey, Cheatem and Howe? (That’s a Harvard joke)
Price, Waterhouse, Cooper which thought they were eating at
LaLaLand?
Reddit?
Two People enrolled at Harvard Business School that posted a graduate studies not peer reviewed article online that Heritage Foundation found and linked on some website that a dumb as a box of rocks “Dr.” found?
@37:
Even you’re comparing the GOP to the Mariners.
Ouch.
37,
Missed it by…
“As of 1 a.m., Ossoff has 48 percent of the vote to Handel’s 20 percent of the vote, setting them up for a final battle in June.”
… nearly a third of the vote if you’re the college dropout who used to sell greeting cards and got into politics making coffee for Dan Quayle’s wife.
In Newt Gingrich’s political playpen she trails a Democrat by 28 percent of the votes. The Treason candidate’s glide path puts her down about five nautical miles short of the outer marker.
Ted Striker: Mayday! Mayday!
Steve McCroskey: What the heck is that?
Johnny: Why, that’s the Russian New Year. We can have a parade and serve hot hors d’oeuvres…
To make things easier, you can begin with Associate Justice Gorsuch, and make your way down from there.
It’s Obama Administration appointees and policies almost “all the way down from there,” in case you’re wondering what happened to the turtles.
“GOP safe seat” joins “GOP filibuster” on the ever-growing list of terms that are just so last year. Or last week.
Enjoying your lower taxes from the ACA repeal yet? That’s winning in the age of GOP rule.
