Join us this Tuesday evening for a Special Election edition of the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally. Stop by and cheer your team. In one coner is a man accused of molesting children. In the other corner is a man accused of molesting the KKK church bombers.
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, but the polls close at 5pm, so some of us will be there early. We expect election returns to trickle in all evening.
Can’t make it to Seattle? Check out one of the 242 chapters of Living Liberally, including 23 in Washington state, five in Oregon and three in Idaho. Find, or go out and start, a chapter near you.

In the news today is an admission by CNN that the Russian contacts by Sessions, when he was a senator, did not need to be disclosed. His staff asked, and the FBI replied in writing, that unless he developed personal relationships from those contacts, they were part of his routine activities as a senator and did not need to be listed on his disclosure form.
Biggest loser, more and more commonly, is Steve.

Prediction, and we know that went….
Moore wins because it’s vote supressing, DMV office closing Bible Belt dumbfuckery Alabama.
But I read Fox News own analysis of their +9 Jones final poll and they found a 30% Jones spread of voters polled on mobile numbers. Lots of polls were land line only. So if Jones wins and even more if he wins comfortably land line polling is done.

The wife of one of my Republican Tea Party friends once said to me that “Everything will be ok”. She said this in reference to Humpty Dumpty becoming President or being the President (it was after the election). And she was basically stating this to the people that didn’t like that Drumpfy was going to be Leader of the less free World (to Ireland and now Australia).
But I wonder if she would take a gulp of her own medicine or advise and say “you know Alabama, everything will be ok if just elect Jones. No need to stoop to the level of electing a child molester as a State Senator”.
What do you think Trolls…..is that some good advice you fucking pukes?

Last I heard, Rand Paul’s vote for the tax bill was in the bag, and this still appears to be the case. This morning he said he won’t vote for more debt, but was talking about spending, not tax cuts, which he said “are never the problem.” He specifically referred to “shrinking the government.”

@5 Re polls, the 2016 polls weren’t that far off. After all, Hillary won the PV by nearly 3 million, which would be a comfortable margin in almost any election. In that one, the losing candidate snatched the EV away from the obvious winner by carrying three large states by a combined margin of 60,000 or so votes. If that doesn’t look fishy to you, your brain is a rutabaga.
One thing we’ve learned about polls is those have been wildly off were conducted by landline and failed to capture the mobile phone-only demographic. This is a plausible explanation for why Fox’s poll shows Moore +9 and Emerson College’s poll shows Jones +9.
There’s a good chance this discussion is irrelevant, though. With only a 2-vote margin in the Senate, including several waverers who may not be wholeheartedly on board for tearing up the social contract, Republican leaders from Trump down are making clear they will do literally anything to keep this seat.
Anyone who thinks they won’t resort to stealing this election if vote suppression, smears, dirty tricks, and the other standard GOP tactics fail to get the job done is daydreaming. That was made perfectly clear the by GOP-controlled Alabama supreme court’s actions this morning.

Trump and his party may not be taking climate change seriously, but nearly everyone else is, including most governments and a growing number of big corporations traditionally considered part of the GOP’s business base.
Meanwhile, corporate activism is growing like mushrooms after a rain:
“A group of institutional investors calling themselves Climate Action 100 said it would use its financial clout to raise the issue of climate-related risk with companies. The group, which comprises 225 investment funds managing more than $26 trillion in assets, said it will focus its efforts on 100 of the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters. The idea is that companies will heed the concerns of major funds because they don’t want to be considered a bad investment due to the financial risks that climate change might pose for their business.”
In addition,
“Over 200 companies have pledged greater transparency on reporting climate-related risks in their businesses as part of a voluntary program led by U.S. billionaire Michael Bloomberg. The former New York mayor and Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England and chairman of the Financial Stability Board, said Tuesday that the number of companies supporting the program had more than doubled since its recommendations were first published in June. The 237 companies , with a combined value of over $6.3 trillion, include construction firms, energy companies and financial institutions from 29 countries.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: The ignorati can’t make climate change go away by pretending it doesn’t exist. It’s happening whether they acknowledge it or not. Sure, informed people can debate the details, but kneejerk denial isn’t constructive. The deniers are like ostriches burying their heads in the middle of a busy road. Sooner or later, they’re gonna get run over.

I guess it turns out that there is something wrong with FISA warrants, just as Dems had once alleged. It’s just that the problem is when they are requested under a Democrat president, not a Republican president.

Pelosi’s claim the House GOP is ‘inviting’ violent criminals to carry concealed weapons
We wavered between Two and Three Pinocchios but ultimately settled on Three because her last line — “the @HouseGOP just voted to do exactly that” — is so over the top and exaggerated. One can have a respectful political debate, raising the issue of a lower common denominator for concealed-weapons permits, without accusing the other side of voting to let violent criminals and stalkers have guns.

The right wing is trying so hard….
But that’s not the way the justice system works. Even if, big if, an FBI investigator and an FBI Attorney are fucking the attorney still has to go to the FISA court and get approval.
This is not how it works
“Hey honey, you’re a lawyer for the FBI and I’d like a warrant.”
“Done, I signed it myself. It’s all legal. Go wiretap to your hearts content you sexy beast!”
This theory wouldn’t even work in a terrible TV Law&Order ripoff.
Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:
Mueller’s office isn’t commenting… full stop. Never has.*
See how easy that was?
Then again it wouldn’t serve your Russian Treasonist agenda of stopping the investigation into Roybuplican corruption.
Every worthless skell defense lawyer makes the same claims. “The warrant was no good because the detective punched his wife once!” In the real law it never works. Warrants are challenged on merit, not the reputation of the law enforcement who request them. Doesn’t matter who they vote for. Doesn’t matter who they fuck. What matters is the information in the app. Wanna know why your Orange Shitgibbon’s lawyers aren’t challenging that? Because they know the FISA court ruled correctly.

Since it looks like Doctor Dumbfuck is fully signed on, it’s probably worth considering the precise means that the Traitors plan to obstruct justice to save their Cheeto Jesus.
He’s going to fire Mueller, and close down the investigation.
Rosenstein won’t do it. But Rachel Brand will. Gladly. She’s a treason gargoyle. But the table must be set first. So all of this preoccupation with Uranium One, and who slept with who is pretext. They have to provide enough of what passes for credibility among traitors to first allow Fuckface to appoint a second Spec Prosecutor to investigate the first one. And that second one will leak like a sieve, feeding the daily news cycle with “unconfirmed” reports of “disturbing” allegations, etc. Once the waters are sufficiently muddied they can move on Mueller without too much blow back.
And that, dear friends, is how you can know for certain that Fuckface, the RNC, and the Roypublican leadership in Congress were in bed with communists from the start. They won’t allow an investigation. They can’t. They are going to shut it down before it leads to any of them.
They’re traitors. We knew it would come to this.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@40 Trump’s solicitor general got one of those waivers, too. They’re not uncommon and don’t imply anything amiss. Bar association rules allow clients to waive conflicts of interest rules in many situations after proper disclosure by the lawyer. It’s not in the same category as, say, a radiologist purporting to diagnose a prostate condition in a patient he’s never seen whose x-rays he doesn’t have.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@37 That’s my take, too. Sooner or later, he HAS to fire Mueller, then pray the Democrats don’t win Congress and his own party doesn’t acquire a moral spine. Canning the special prosecutor is the easy part; he can always find some lackey to do it even if he has to keep firing everyone down the line until the new hire with a rent payment coming due is the only one left. The hardest part is trying to drive a wooden stake through the heart of the investigation. If he fires Mueller, Congress can reappoint him, or Mueller could take his evidence files and apply to Schneiderman for a job.

The turnout for Alabama women who aren’t batshit insane will be interesting. I really don’t think the women’s movement is about left or right, it’s a women’s movement, and the issue of this campaign is one candidate’s molestation of girls, while the other fought to protect the rights of little girls who were murdered. This election is really about right versus wrong, good versus evil.
