The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally was founded in early 2005, and has been meeting weekly ever since. Please join us tonight for a drink, some political conversation and, if you wish, some dinner.
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 231 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.

I really should say something about YLB.
13 Alabama counties saw 85 percent drop in food stamp participation after work requirements restarted
As of Jan. 1, 2017, there were 13,663 able-bodied adults without dependents receiving food stamps statewide. That number dropped to 7,483 by May 1, 2017. Among the 13 counties, there were 5,538 adults ages 18-50 without dependents receiving food stamps as of Jan. 1, 2017. That number dropped to 831 – a decline of about 85 percent – by May 1, 2017.
…
Statewide, the number of able-bodied adults receiving food stamps has fallen by almost 35,000 people since Jan. 1, 2016.

Amazing what can be saved when requirements are enforced, isn’t it?

Biden “is attending because he believes in bipartisanship and the importance of keeping good lines of communication open across the aisle,” spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield told the AP.

Probably no truth to the rumor that #CrookedHillary declined because Romney wouldn’t permit her to be interviewed by someone from SEIU.
Hillary Clinton spews:
I found out that I lost Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin because the Russians got the technology for the Romulan cloaking device and used it to hide those states from my campaign.
You know, of course, that the Russians and the Romulans are allies.

Exclusive: Comey will stop short of saying Trump obstructed justice in Flynn probe, source says
There will be much in former FBI Director James Comey’s upcoming congressional testimony that will make the White House uncomfortable, but he will stop short of saying the president interfered with the agency’s probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, a source familiar with Comey’s thinking told ABC News.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics.....d=47865739
Missed it by that much.
Steve spews:
Shorter Doctor Dumbfuck @8
“Shit’s so real, I’m gonna cling to any teeny, tiny, little thing I can!”
Comey’s testimony will allow the investigative committee to determine whether or not an attempt to obstruct justice occurred. Sucks, huh?
Yours and Trump’s best hope is that the GOP members of the investigative committee hate America and love Putin as much as you two. Given the treasonous behavior of the GOP of late, that’s not an unrealistic thing for you and Trump to pin your hopes on.

Surprisingly, NOT #CrookedHillary after she learned that her ‘basket of deplorables’ video had gone viral.
They said there’s a video. I said, “What video?”

While curling a frosty beverage why not discuss Reality Winner and her calling President Trump an “orange fascist”. Yeah, seems like that could be a real winner conversation!
Hmmm… where has Puddy seen that “orange fascist” comment before? Oh yeah some useless tool from Oregon called Lying Liars Shouldn’t Lie AKA Erectile Dysfunction McDotCom! Yep, that’s where Puddy saw it!
What real winners those two fools are!

You cannot obstruct nominations which have not been made. Incompetence, your name is Trump.

@1:
So, learning that a deep-red, conservative state is full of welfare-scamming deadbeats really came as a surprise to you, did it? Of course it did; it is, after all, a fact, and you don’t normally traffic in those.
For example, @8:
Whether or not the President obstructed justice is an *opinion*; Comey will testify to *facts* which may support that opinion.
If ever you’d had a fact to support one of your opinions, maybe you’d be able to recognize this distinction.

Exclusive: Comey will stop short of saying Trump obstructed justice in Flynn probe, source says
…but he will stop short of saying the president interfered with the agency’s probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn…
In which we learn two things: 1) that website editors for ABC News probably never graduated from law school; and 2) that there are sometimes rather significant differences between the meaning conveyed in a headline, and the content of the story below it.
You don’t have to be successful to be guilty of obstruction. And, of course, that would be entirely consistent for Fuckface Von Clownstick, whose only successes in life have been asking dad for the car keys and asking Vladimir Putin to rig the election for him.
