Today is Primary Election Day in Washington state. So get that ballot in the mail or into a drop box and then stop by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally for some election chat over drinks.
We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. We will be on the patio in the back. The kitchen isn’t open yet but will be soon. Carry-in food is okay when the kitchen is closed. Note: The Roanoke Park Place Tavern will require proof of vaccination and a matching ID for admission to the bar.
Chapters of Drinking Liberally are re-opening all over the place. If you can’t make the Seattle chapter, find a chapter near you.

No significant drop in voter turnout in the OH-11 Democratic primary between last April and today’s special election.
This is a down indicator for Trump, and the GOP. They really need a significant decline in Democratic voter turnout to flip seats in the 2022 midterm. Today is another early indicator that base voter energy remains high among Democrats as we move into the midterms.
This POS should be tried for sedition, and sent to Gitmo if convicted.

No significant drop in voter turnout in the OH-11 Democratic primary between last April and today’s special election.
This was an extremely high-profile special election. Sanders campaigned. Clyburn campaigned. This was such a high-profile election that a Jewish PAC dropped a million bucks into it.
By last April the DNC nominee had been established, if not yet formally nominated. Last April Marcia Fudge had zero competition in her primary.
QoS McHillbilly, if you want to turn yesterday into 2022 tea leaves, take a look at OH-15. Yes, there were two special elections yesterday.
Trump took OH-15 by 14 points in 2020. Yesterday in the GOP primary there were 50,000 votes cast. That was more than three times as many as the number of votes cast in the Democrat primary.
Yesterday’s turnouts were driven by a contested race in OH-11 and a much less contested race in OH-15. Try to make as little out of the turnout tea leaves as you can, QoS McHillbilly. ’cause otherwise OH-15 should make you shit yourself.

If you’re a Republican and unvaccinated and end up in the ER, then you should be intubated through the ass!
54.25% of the 8% who are motivated to vote ,value education. And it counts as a win.

Moobs McScrote posts a theoretic poll. Crist won’t give up a Congressional seat for a state seat when he has had his ass handed to him so many times, now, in statewide elections.
Nikki Fried, OTOH, is running. In the same poll she’s losing to DeSantis.
Moobs the coward won’t show you that poll.
Remember the poll Moobs McScrote posted last year, about Lindsey Graham’s race?
The poll padded the Democrat’s results by intentionally oversampling black voters by several percentage points.
Moobs had no fucking idea because RawStory didn’t point it out to him.
When Moobs loses and his chest jiggles it makes me laugh.
In the Moobs poll @ 16, 17 only 67.9% of DEMOCRAT poll respondents said they would back Nikki Fried.

She’s more popular than Hitler, too, Moobs.
It’s favorability, not approval, being measured Moobs.

GLWT in 2024, Moobs. You’re gonna need it.
“When Moobs loses and his chest jiggles it makes me laugh.”
Given the Republican predilection to project what they hate about themselves onto others, looks like the dumbfuck traitor has a personal problem he’s not talking about…gynecomastia!
Perhaps a man bra will help with that jiggling problem he’s afflicted with.
Such a stupe.
Kamala Harris’ favorability is four points lower than Hillary Clinton’s favorability the week before she lost to Trump in 2016, Moobs.
Think on your sins, both committed ones and contemplated ones.
How sad it is that Moobs McScrote is forced to spin a 43% favorability number into something positive.
Makes me wonder what he’ll do when she sinks into the 30s.
Maybe I should be wondering instead what First! Woman! President! Jill Biden will do when Kamala Harris’ favorability numbers sink into the 30s.
Rapepublicans need big drops in turnout among base Dems to win next year. How big, we don’t know. But they do need some significant drop.
So to prove that, Bob shows instead that rabidly pro-virus, FREEDUMB loving nihilists in the pro-rape party are still turning out in large numbers in Trump-safe districts. But that can’t save them.
It did not save them last November. It did not save them in January. It did not save them in Arizona, or Georgia, or Michigan, or Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania.
They’ve got a tide to turn, not a wave to ride. They’ve been on a solid losing streak since the Gang-Rape Confirmation. They’ll perhaps make up some ground with restricted ballot access and poll closing. They’ll make up some more with canceled registrations and ID requirements. But will that alone be enough? And can Rapepublicans risk splitting urban districts if it weakens their shrinking totals in suburban districts? OH-15 and OH-11 may not even exist in 2023.
Every single Congressional campaign from both parties is operating on the premise that there will be no significant drop in energy or turnout among base Trumpalos. These are the same people you see throwing scalding coffee at baristas over masking policies and driving Trump flags around state capitols firing Grizzly Gas at passersby to protest the “stolen” election. They continue to reflexively click-to-give to every two-bit long con the RNC offers. We are stuck with them until they slowly die off one by one.
The big question has been, how will moderates, liberals and progressives respond to winning the White House, the Senate, and the House? The concern was that, as in past years, having won many of these voters would turn away from political engagement. But so far the numbers indicate that people in the middle and to the left remain as engaged as before. I’m speculating, but I suspect this is partly because of the Trump Terror Attack on Congress, and the Delta surge. And perhaps it’s to some extent due to an early record of accomplishment by the Biden administration that stands in dramatic contrast to what came before.
@ 27

In @ 3 you used turnout numbers, which you stated (without data) did not decline significantly, in a blue-safe district in you effort to claim that the Democrat sky is not falling.

@20 Sounds to me like she’s referring to Republicans in general.
Palestine is a complex problem. Israel isn’t an innocent victim. It’s a brutal military occupier. Otoh, it’s hard to feel sympathy for people who pursue their cause with terrorism and violence. The neutral position here seems to be that they deserve each other.
Tlaib, being Palestinian, isn’t of course neutral. She argues the Palestinian side. If that makes her “antisemitic,” then I guess she is. Otoh, if calling her “antisemitic” makes the ADL guy a name-caller, then it does. He doesn’t really expect her to argue Israel’s side of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, does he?
Maybe they deserve each other, too.
It’s women he hates most. It’s been that way since puberty and it’s gotten a lot worse since we informed him that being ass-fucked by a horse doesn’t count, which means he’s still a virgin. Sad!
It seems to me there will never be peace while the Palestinians remain a conquered, occupied, subjugated people. What people would put up with that? Nobody. Nor if Palestinian leaders continue to pursue the elimination of Israel. Who would accede to that? Certainly not the Israelis. For Israelis and Palestinians to get along, both need their own territory and self-determination. The two-state solution has always looked like the most logical path to enduring peace, but that’s still a long way off. The Palestinians have to convince Israel that if they get their freedom, they’ll live and let live.
Doctor Dumbfuck likes things just the way they are. Like all Republicans, he revels in violence, and thinks subjugation and slavery are valid human relationships.

Does anyone care who wins? A true capitalist will sell rope to both groups.
Bob did not. Instead Bob lied again.
Bob did not post anything showing declining D turnout.
Bob did something completely different.
Bob did another phony Whaddaboutism. Which is all Bob seems capable of anymore.
Somewhere, at some point, we’ll certainly see some evidence of turnout decline. We already have here and there, including some cases of decline among Trumpalos*.
But a few cases does not a trend make. And neither do the results in OH-11. And that is my point. Pro-Rape voters need significant declines in turnout among Democratic voters to flip Congress. So far we are not seeing that. So it’s little wonder Bob is so triggered and that she would prefer to argue about something completely different.
*Trump telling likely Trump voters in the days right before the most important special election in recent Senate history that the polls were rigged and the election was stolen sure helped. Thanks!
46,
Yes! Precisely, Roger!
And that’s what is so amazing about this. The GQP/Pro-Rape Party has become so utterly dependent upon raw-meat rhetoric and calls for violent, armed uprisings over changes in local recycling programs that they can’t even stop it when it’s hurting them.
They’ve trained their base this way. And over time, the requirements have grown ever more extreme. Calling the incumbent Democrat a “wasteful hypocrite” can no longer be counted upon to motivate Crazy Uncle Liberty to rise out of his massage recliner and find his debit card. By 2021 she must be called a “Cannibal who dines on the adrenal glands of kidnapped baby beauty pageant winners“. And you can’t ask for money to help buy air time for more ads “like this one”. You have to ask for money “to buy guns and ammunition to slaughter the infidels”. This is what it takes to move the mouth breathers in 2021 and 2022 after four years of Trump conditioning.
So in order to raise money and turnout their own base, they must turnout ours as well.
There was one consistent turnout signal at the CD level among Democratic voters that we saw in Nov of 2020.
That was in Trump-lean or squishy swing districts with a Democratic incumbent, if the incumbent ran away from Biden v. Trump and fought to avoid mention of impeachment or the presidential race, and avoided confronting Trump’s inflammatory statements or tweets, turnout among D voters underperformed.
Not surprisingly, that was the strategy promoted by Cheri Bustos. And that’s why we lost seats. And that’s why she retired from chairing the DCCC.

Republicans claimed cutting off federal enhanced unemployment benefits would get people to go back to work. They were wrong.
“Twenty-six states announced their intent to end federal pandemic-era benefits starting in May. They officially pulled out in waves over June and July.
“UKG, a payroll and time-management firm, found that shifts among hourly workers in those states grew at about half the rate as states that continued the benefit — the opposite trend of what one might expect.”

Gerrymandering for control of Congress. Voter suppression and cheating for control the presidency.

Am I wrong?
Who cares what the polls are in California. If Newsom loses, he can just lead an armed Rebellion, ignore the will of the people, stay in power and you have established you’d be fine with that. Unless you’re a hypocrite.
“Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,”
There’s a reason Trump and the GOP donned body armor and summoned 8000 violent militants to the Capitol on Jan 6 and ordered them to attack Congress. Have you forgotten?
As dress rehearsals go, it was a shit show. But it appears to all of us that you traitors learned some valuable lessons for next time. Certainly having gerrymandered state and federal legislative districts in close states will play a key role if you actually manage to “send the results back to the states” the next time you conduct a riot during the EV count.
That was some piss poor gaslighting, Tara. You’ve done better than this. But I admit it must be getting harder for you with people like Ben Domenech out there saying the quiet part out loud every day.
80,
You were right the first time. The gerrymandering plays a critical role in “conservatives” current last-ditch plans for getting control of the Executive branch.
“Conservatives” have been investing authority and power in the presidency since Woodrow Wilson. For nearly all of that time they’ve done so in the expectation that the electoral college grants them built-in advantage. But a century of consistent failure and corruption have left them so unpopular now that they can’t even reliably win states like Arizona or Georgia. They can see the writing on the wall as clearly as anyone. If all Texans have equal ballot access “conservatives” will lose 38 more EVs and the White House doors are slammed shut to them forever.
So their only long term strategy now is to revolutionize the election process by transferring selection of electors back to state legislatures. Gerrymandering is crucial to every part of that strategy.
81,
It’s not a great poll for a bunch of reasons.
But the real point is that nearly every single Republican voter in California is intent upon casting a ballot in the recall and every one of them will vote Yes.
If (and it’s a soft “if”) an equal percentage of Democratic voters in California cast ballots Newsome is assured of winning. Easiest way to do that is to phone bank, door knock, and push notify the fuck out of every Democrat in the state that if they don’t fill out that ballot and put it into the mail Larry Elder becomes their new Governor. There are twice as many registered Democrats as Republicans. It’s not too hard of a lift. But still a lift.
The good news is that campaigning to simply remind voters to mail in their ballot falls completely outside of candidate spending limits and disclosures. So we are expecting a fairly huge air drop of money to be secretly dumped in the next few weeks. It’s Christmastime for media buyers. Tara is getting a lump of coal.

Gerrymandered legislatures and a gerrymandered House majority have nothing to do with replacing presidential electors chosen by the people those appointed by gerrymandered legislatures in defiance of the will of the people?
Gerrymandering has everything to do with presidential elections. It’s central to the GOP’s plan for a fascist takeover of America and establishment of an apartheid society.

You’re going to want to keep that memory handy in the months and years ahead as the networks continue to invite the same incompetent play-actors in front of their cameras to tell you all about “the law” stuff. If any one of these teevee lawyer clowns were employed as associates by Big Law they’d find a stack of Banker boxes and a security guard waiting at their desk in the morning.

Scoop: Inside a Kamala Harris crisis dinner
She was awful as a candidate. Y’all nominated her anyway. ’cause she’s black.
It can’t be Biden in 2024. It can’t be Kamala in 2024. So after turning your back on a black politician and a woman, who will it be? My money’s on Booker.
Ya know dimfuk…
You have to host a fundraiser in widbee for your black friend in MI, John James..
Perfect opportunity to pop the question to James:
“John, Mary Kay and I are looking to trade up our horsey property. Will you stand in for me?
We want the Best valuation..”
You can’t lose dimfuk.. Next fundraiser for John James: the blinding WHITE community of Orcas.. You gotta admit dimfuk – it’s great idea.

@110 Tied game Gman. Lot of baseball to play.
@111 yeah, unfortunately I will probably leave early. I’ll try to get the person I’m with to tat as late as possible
I’m 2nd row from top of section 115, in front of concrete wall
Last game I was at it was the same, tied up at 2, then i left early and it was tied at 5 and then went into extra innings and yanks won. I think it was against TexAss
Top of the 6th, still tied 2-2.
God bless America, the Mariners, the dog days of summer, and Gman!
Biden signed a bill today awarding Congressional Gold Medals to the hero cops who defended the Capitol on January 6.

Trump was far, far worse as a candidate and a president. Y’all nominated and elected him anyway, because you’re a bunch of racist dumbfucks who want to replace our democracy with a fascist regime.
Think on your sins.
Ok, no worries.
What’s the score?
Nice home run!

115,
We’ll have to let things play out more, I suppose.
But the mere fact that there are 21 House Republicans who can vote against such a measure, and essentially suffer no disapprobation or other consequence from within their own party as a result just shows how utterly broken the Republican Party is.
And don’t get me started on the media. Turn the tables and the media howling would be deafening. The very next microphone moment in front of any Democratic Party leader would consist of nothing but. This won’t register a blip.
Because it’s what has become normal for them and it’s what’s expected now. They hate America. That’s no longer a curiosity. It’s just settled wisdom. And it can’t generate views or clicks. But don’t forget for an instant that it also means the people who elect and re-elect them also hate America.

This shit happens in blue states, too.
The Arkansas legislature had only two items on its agenda:
1. Repealing its ban on mask mandates, so schools could protect kids; and
2. “legislation aimed at preventing the state from resuming supplemental unemployment insurance payments to 69,000 people in the state.”
Guess which one they passed, and which one they didn’t?

I recommend flying over, or driving around, Arkansas. It’s one of the least vaccinated and germiest states. There’s no hospital beds available. They probably don’t even have anybody who’ll pick up your body. Avoid Arkansas.
In Florida, a child asked by his/her school to wear a mask is being “bullied, harassed, assaulted, [and/or] threatened …”
https://abcnews.go.com/US/desantis-school-districts-clash-masks-covid-19-cases/story?id=79277496
Avoid Florida. It’s not safe for your kids to attend school there. If you must live in Florida for job or other reasons, send your kids to relatives in a state where the governor isn’t trying to kill off everyone under age 12.
I would guess this one will cost the taxpayers of Valencia County, New Mexico, somewhere between $750,000 and $1.2million.

If he was a Republican, your party would put him on the Supreme Court.
@129 Updated version of Darwin Awards?
Just as wrong and just as regrettable there, too.
Given the logistics and financial commitments involved, even the Sturgis organizers can be forgiven for having made the decision to move forward way back in April, when they could not have foreseen that you would be staging mask burnings and that your church pastor would be ordering you to decline to vaccinate.
But having made those commitments and sold tickets and bookings it might not hurt to revize guidance once the event draws near.

Don’t forget that the shining beacon of truth and transparency that is Sarah Huckabee Sanders wants to be the governor of the State of Arkansas.
I’m sure the rubes there will elect her just because of her orbit in the Trumpian dystopia.
Even more reason to avoid the place.
“Persons with COVID-19 reported attending densely packed indoor and outdoor events at venues that included bars, restaurants, guest houses, and rental homes.”
No excuse for this. Barnstable County is governed by Democrats who put tourism ahead of public health. And even though these Cape Cod events are tiny in comparison to 700,000 attending Sturgis, state health directors ought to be able to step in and implement mandatory restrictions. But they’re mostly too busy avoiding pipe bombs and sniper bullets.
I’m not the one who wrote that, stupe. But if you fucks chanting “Hang Mike Pence” had caught him, and you came close, I imagine you would have dragged him outside and used the scaffold that you traitors had built out on the Capitol lawn to “hang Mike Pence”. Hmm, 4x4s. Looks sturdy enough. Strong rope, too, tied in a hangman’s noose.
We have not seen evidence that Capitol Police granted rioters access to the building or that they were “in on” the breach, as some posts claim.
Footage that appeared to show some officers allowing rioters past barricades was misrepresented online. The journalist who shot the video said the officers backed off the barricade because they were “completely outnumbered.”
Other videos taken at different entrances back that up, and show rioters quickly overwhelming police barricades and eventually forcing officers to retreat.
Officers being suspended was first reported early January, no updates since February.

@146 “Second, why did the SWAT team let the inside, upstairs protesters/rioters through without attempting to prevent their passage?”
This sounds like a complaint they didn’t shoot more of them.
First plea deal for assaulting police by a Capitol rioter:
“Scott Fairlamb, whose father was a New Jersey trooper and whose brother was on Michelle Obama’s Secret Service detail, pleaded guilty to two counts: one of obstruction of an official proceeding, and one of assaulting an officer.
“Both counts are felonies, and the plea agreement states that the sentencing guidelines call for between 41 months minimum and 51 months maximum imprisonment. Fairlamb’s lawyer can argue for less prison time at sentencing.
“Fairlamb’s attorney, Harley Breite, told HuffPost earlier this week that his client wanted to ‘assume responsibility for the things that he did’ and ‘make amends for them and move on with his life.’ Fairlamb has been incarcerated since his arrest in January. …
“An associate of Fairlamb told HuffPost … ‘I feel for his wife, family, employees and community, but I have zero empathy for him …. He’s had too many chances over the years to correct his pattern of bullying behavior ― all while portraying himself as a ‘good guy with a Batman cape’ in his hometown.'”

This is in Texas, where the governor says people know “what the standards are” (there are none), “what practices they want to adopt to help protect themselves” (anti-vax and anti-mask predominate) and, he adds, “This is time for individual responsibility.”

Sue the shit out of them. And the person who called them.
Explain that.
Are you suing the individual police officers?
Then you have to point us to the precise case already adjudicated in that federal circuit that specifies the exact constitutional right that was violated with precisely similar circumstances. If no such case exists, then for all legal purposes, under qualified immunity doctrine, no such right exists. Nor will it, until such a case is allowed to go to trial in that circuit.
Is this a Monell claim? You’ll need to show us the official city policy or settled and acknowledged city practice that guided the officers in their actions last Sunday. Without that, you can’t sue the city either.
Yelling about suing may seem satisfying in a distant and abstract way. But in most of the United States, for most African Americans, there is simply no legal recourse for this kind of routine abuse and profiling under qualified immunity doctrine as it stands right now.
The real solution is to do away with policing in the U.S. as we know it. Not to do away with police altogether. But to end the systems and practices as they’ve been in place for the last fifty years.
The option to dial 911 and obtain a response should not have been available in these circumstances. Was there a break-in? Nope. Was there an alarm? Nope. Any victim? Nope. Any actual report of criminal activity that was witnessed by anyone? Nope. Was there any violence or unrest of any kind? Nope.
Then no police response should be dispatched.

Middle Age Riot Aug 4
Why is Donald Trump so terrified of his tax returns being released? He can’t be afraid of what his supporters might think. If they don’t care that he’s a racist, a misogynist, a rapist, a vulgarian, a liar, a traitor, and a seditionist, why would they care that he’s a tax cheat?
Middle Age Riot Aug 3
When racists say “I have black friends,” they mean Candace Owens.
Fascinating interview of Frank Luntz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT3hPuY8w5M
@171 He’s afraid of what prosecutors would think.
@173 just as I thought the RINO’s are the Trumpsters…..I think Bob is a RINO – he’s not a true Repuke.
What Luntz fails to say, atleast to the point that I have watched so far, is that these angry “New” Repukes (RINO’s) were outspoken and upset because of why? Because of Mitch and the rest of the Tea Party and Repuke establishment that drummed up the fear and the 8 years of fucking over Obama. They worked up the racist RINO’s.
Put the fucking blame where it is – with the fucking morons that have lost control of their “Party”.
The Sheep FuckHumpsters could believe that the Fuckheads were capable of the riot – 26:30 mark.
Build the Barrier! Build the Barrier! Build the Barrier! hahahahah!
Is that why Bob put the Skirt and Pom Poms away?
He should have know better?!
One – he either knew……or the idiot is just a complete fuck that can make a profit owning a fucking Casino.
Cops are the enemy. It was ugly Bob. No hugs and kisses?
Meanwhile Bob want’s to examine for balistical evidence.
The standing ovations for the cops 2 months prior is know as “I is a proud racist clapper”
yeah…..duhhhhh. The riot was a culmination of the fasist movement.
yeah…..duhhhh…..nobody could have predicted that it would have happened January 6th……but we all knew that one day it would happen, right? Duhhhh!
That’s what fear mongering and the idea of Big Bad Government and not tyring to govern gets you!
Duhhhh.
A good interview, but to make it all about The FuckHump and the The Repukilan Party is a grave mistatke but the Luntz and PBS. The Title of the inteview shouldn’t be The FuckHumps America…..this The Repukes America. I mean Luntz should do a fucus group on DeFuckFace of Florida.
Bunch of idiots……McDouchebag and the others for not knowing that this would happen.
Luntz is trying to protect the Repukes….but alot of points made are on target. Towards the end he’s just protecting the Fuckers.
Do you do what your voters that elected you want to do or do you do the right thing…..Party First!
Party First!
God Bless Steve…….Fuck Pence
50% of 50% is 25%. The minority. Fuck You.
Republican against Trump proved he’s unfit.
Luntz fells a bit guilty. This isn’t revenge….it’s not letting criminals get away with crimes. If this is revenge, then so is locking up a murder.
@185 Luntz is a pollster. He reflects what he sees and hears in focus groups, etc. In this case, the Trumpsters who replaced traditional “well coiffed” Republicans who “wore suits that fit.”
I think he’s being honest about what he observed. Basically a lot of alienation. People who don’t trust the elites, government, elections, science, vaccines, etc. No surprises there; we all know that’s the prevalent mindset on the other side.
He doesn’t go into the root causes of their alienation, such as the GOP culture of victimhood and grievance-stoking, or mention how it was engineered and manipulated by the deliberate lying of rightwing propaganda.
He soft-pedals the GOP House votes against certifying, claiming they weren’t rejecting Biden’s victory, but only wanted to “send it back to the states” for investigation. This interview occurred before Arizona showed what that looks like, but even then the bad faith was palpable, and he doesn’t mention it.
He claims nobody saw the riot coming, including the participants. He portrays it as a crowd that got out of hand. This interview was on January 12, just 6 days later, and he seems unaware or oblivious to the role of the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys. Even so, I don’t see how anyone who watched news videos of rioters decked out in helmets and vests, tactical gear, gas masks, and equipped with bear spray could miss the obvious evidence of preparation.
I think he’s sincere, but tried not to see these things, so didn’t see them.
