It’s a Tuesday in the dog days of summer. That means the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will be gathering for an evening of post-primary politics over pints. Please join us!
We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. Look for us in the back room of the pub beginning about 8pm.
Can’t make it to Seattle? Check out one of the 265 chapters of Living Liberally, including 22 in Washington state, seven in Oregon and three in Idaho. Find a chapter near you. Or start a new chapter for your community!
The Straights really need to cleanup their act. If it’s not aborting their babies it’s putting them up for sale for sex, if not lucky enough to be chained up to the basement walls or shoved into a small coat closet, never to see daylight. Or you kids could consider yourself lucky if daddy and mommy don’t leave you strapped into a car seat while off shopping or pretending to be at work.

Take care of your kids! Gay people are getting tired of picking up your slack. C’mon! The evangelicals expect better things, goddamn it!
Love guys in tuxes taking care of kids. It’s so 50s.
@3 Nowadays they shuffle them off to a nanny.
This morning PRC military began pouring tens of thousands of covered troop carriers, APCs, and light tanks into Shenzhen.
Nothing to see here.
I suppose after the killing spree, once all the bodies and blood have been swept away and the streets have been hosed down, the US can always impose sanctions.
Oh. Right.
Behold, the Master Race:

If Trump is re-elected it will largely depend on the GOP strategy to inspire and motivate “very fine people” like the woman in this video. She’s “fed up” and “disgusted” with having to share a public place of accommodation with anyone who speaks a language other than English. She’s okay with them being present. But they must be silent and comply with her orders as a white person.
Hard to imagine this being a normalized public attitude in any other developed, industrialized nation. But thanks to the WhitePower! Party and FOX, it is the norm for 63 million Republican voters.
China is a country wherein the Communist Party of China is running a quasi-capitalist economic system for the benefit of high Party officials, their families and their friends. China, like Russia, can never be a representative democracy because its governmental model has always been authoritarian in nature. The president of China has simply become the new Chinese emporer, just like Putin has become Russia’s new czar.
@6 and just like The Hump.
I bet Bob is itching to get the Pom Pons out and the skirt on.
Doctor Dumbfuck has accused Hillary Clinton of being a crook thousands of times and yet he cannot name a single crime. Thousands of times he has accused her of being “awful”, and he can’t tell us why. And he looks at this shit he pulled from his and tells us everything is our fault and that we should think on our sins.
“Trump retweets conspiracy theory alleging ‘voter fraud is real’ — even though his government never could find it”
“Wut? Wut? Wut?: George Conway completely flabbergasted by Trump’s stupidity”
“Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge”
“‘Hitler should have finished you off’: Orthodox Jewish man says he was attacked with mace and hate”
“Trump thumbs-up photo with orphaned baby in El Paso sparks controversy”
“El Paso Shooting Suspect’s Manifesto Echoes Trump’s Language”
Pull your fucking head out of the orange anus and take a look around, Doctor. You own all of it. You are responsible.
“Trump’s Silence on Russia’s Corruption Protests Shows Just How Big Putin Won”
“Taking down Hillary Clinton wasn’t personal animus. It was an attack on core U.S. values.”

Your orange moron has his head up Putin‘s ass, and you have your head up the orange moron’s ass. Your self-absolution is fucking meaningless, Doctor. You’re just still just a dumbfuck traitor.
Way to pick’em, dumbfuck. It’s all your fucking fault.
“Trump, commander in chief and president of the world’s only superpower, thinks he is the world’s most picked-upon person. The man who victimizes others insists that he is the biggest victim of all. And the greatest indignity? His critics (sometimes a majority of Americans) keep calling him racist and misogynistic, fiscally irresponsible, lazy, corrupt, authoritarian, impulsive and erratic based on his racist and misogynistic, fiscally irresponsible, lazy, corrupt, authoritarian, impulsive and erratic rhetoric and actions. The unfairness of it all!”

Never-Trumper Jennifer Rubin is useful. How much she is forgiven for previous transgressions depends on her continued usefulness. At least she won’t hang for treason.
“I bet Bob is itching to get the Pom Pons out and the skirt on.”
DJIA 26,000!
10,
All she has to do now is swear off all the Dinesh D’Souza, FOX, and WhitePower! talking points.
Eventually the Democrats will choose a nominee.
And whoever it happens to be, shy-Trumpers like Rubin will “discover” (perhaps reluctantly) why, despite all the racism and misogyny, the incompetence, the fiscal vandalism, and corruption, they have “no choice”. Conservatives live a lie every single second. This is no exception.
Do not pin your hopes on any of these people changing when it counts. This really is who they are now.
@11 Sad.
Imagine waking up every morning and not have your dreams answered by the Orange monster.
Very Sad! But it seems like he’s been laying off the sauce, so that’s a good thing….but not so much for the horse.
Dow opened down this morning.
25,870.43 −409.48 (1.56%)
“So when long-term yields fall below short-term yields, it shows that investors think interest rates might fall quickly, and that inflation should remain low—two things that happen in recessions. On a basic level, it means that investors would rather lend long-term than short-term, which indicates a dearth of near-term investment opportunities and economic growth. “
I think it’s rather noteworthy that the whole meltdown of Tucker Carlson has gone largely unreported in mainstream news media.
In just a couple of weeks his show lost more than half its revenues, sales of new accounts have dried up, and now he’s been put on yet another FOX hiatus while the executive team attempts to rebuild advertiser relationships. These advertiser crises have become so routine on FOX that they have a firm on permanent retainer to manage communications.
From FOX itself the response is pure silence. But what’s most interesting is that the strategy employed by the management firm is to silence other media. And that it is working. Other than late night hosts the story is going largely unreported in most news rooms.
Dow is down – Recession!?
Nothing a good war can’t change!
I expect before the election, we will be in a war, have had a ginned up terrorist attack and lots of Russian hacking. All coordinated by Moscow Mitch.
