This is your weekly reminder that the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally is the place to go to discuss politics over the beverage of your choice. And tonight is the night.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm out on the back patio.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter for you.
Abortion is murder. No Exceptions. Anyone who gets one is a murderer. Anyone who performs one should be charged with murder. Anyone who helps someone get an abortion should be charged with a felony accessory to murder.
OF COURSE not Herschel Walker, he’s a genuine God Damned football hero and man of God. We need him in the SENATE!
Be advised, at least in my opinion Trump’s app for emerg cert to the Supremes is a legal fig leaf, attempting to distract from the plain facts that he’s losing this thing, that the 11th will crush what remains of it, and that underneath all that is unfortunately probably some very serious espionage act violations.
In brief, Kise is making a very technical, jurisdictional argument implicating a portion of the injunction. And the application omits the crucial argument for emerg relief of imminent, irreparable harm. So it will be easy to deny. Moreover, even if granted it won’t stop the DOJ from shit. And bottom line where Bratt is concerned is going to be that a registered agent of the government of Venezuela will not have access to top secret documents no matter how much Trump begs.
In my estimation Kise is basically Elvis in the 60s, sleep walking his way through a motion picture studio contract that he now regrets signing. He’ll see this thing through to it’s inevitable demise and then walk away with his money.

Trump will have him whacked, he knows too much. Probably an elevator fall, or something like that. I’m sure his buddy Vlad the Failer can give him some tips on how to make it look like an accident.
@3 They don’t have elevators in Russia. They throw them out of windows.
@4
True, but Florida and New York have them. Trump probably would like to see him fall down the main one in Trump Tower, the one he rode down when he announced he was running for 2016.
Trump will have him whacked, he knows too much.
drumpf won’t do that cuz it knows it can’t hold itself back from boasting about that to anyone who’ll listen and anyone can squeal to LE..
its greatest fear is a stretch in the joint and to top it off dying there..
@6
I’m not sure about that. Remember when he bragged, ““I Could … Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn’t Lose Any Voters”
He might just do it to prove his point.
Oh what the fuck, he simply believes he can do it, not sure he would let the law get in his way. I mean, if he can declassify documents by “just thinking about doing it”, then murder isn’t that big of a deal.
So let me if I’ve got this. The ONE guy who gets to decide this is also hearing from his wife that the petitioner is still the president because it was fraud and there’s literally no way he lost an election.
Shit even I never had it that stacked.
The Party of no values.

They have no morals. Breeding will not save them.
Aaron Judge broke Roger Maris’ AL record.
I’m not convinced anyone would’ve beat Ruth’s record playing in the same stadiums, the same number of games, with the balls and bats used then, and no steroids.
The current Yankee stadium is said to be more batter-friendly than the one Ruth and Maris played their home games in, with shorter and lower fences.
I would have missed a lot of those games or just plain sucked at the late of it weren’t for the Methamphetamines we took by the handful when we were hungover which was pretty much daily.
Looks like the Conservative Supremes are hot to eviscerate unions’ right to strike. They didn’t have to take this case. It belongs at the NLRB. It certainly appears they want to preempt the NLRB and change the rules, too.

The solution is don’t work. The Supremes can’t fuck with your labor rights if you’re not labor. You should be a capitalist like me and doc. Everyone should. Nobody should work. That will stop the Supreme Court from interfering with the NLRB.
2)Unfortunately, Justice Thomas covers the 11th Circuit, and don’t they only need 4 to take the case?
10)Also pitching every other day. George H. Ruth also was a pitcher in his early years.
I stopped pitching in 1921.
Other than one or two starts a season I played 1st base. The furthest we ever had to travel was St. Louis and there were no night games when the cold air tends to deaden a fly ball.
@ 15
…I played 1st base.
Lou Gehrig played first base. For awhile, as the story goes. Maybe you’ve heard of him, Babe.
(Ruth was an outfielder, converted from pitcher so that his bat could be in the lineup every day.)
13,
He’s given DOJ until Friday for their initial responses to the application. That is not the look of a Circuit Justice leaning towards granting an emergency stay.
And just because Cannon is ignorant, overwhelmed, and incredibly inexperienced does not mean she’s being partisan. And though Thomas is very clearly partisan, he is not ignorant, overwhelmed, or the least bit inexperienced.
I know it’s hard to see two steps forward and one step back. But that is the nature of due process in our system. Thomas may grant or deny the application on his own. Or he can choose to refer the application to the full court. Were Thomas so inclined he would already have done so. Moreover, were he inclined to grant an emergency stay it’s very unlikely he would have given DOJ a full week to file their response.
This case, and this appeal of the Circuit order, introduces no suddenly compelling questions or fiercely debated areas of law demanding clarification. On it’s merits it would not be taken up by The Court in a normal writ of cert after having benn fully litigated at the Circuit. Nor in my opinion is there any fair prospect that the appeal would prevail. An emergency stay is not warranted.
Meanwhile DOJ is able to proceed with their investigation into the classified documents as well as their remaining appeal in the 11th. I take it as evidence of his intent this should be so that Thomas has given the DOJ plenty of time to respond. If he intended to fuck with them he would have ordered a response by midnight.
@9 and it looks like Hershey Squirts got himself a gay son.
Just like Puffy’s relatives
Goldy has his faults, but he’s first out of the gate with the “Guys, this ‘Inflation is good for you!’ argument isn’t going to fly.” admission.
Nobody should be surprised by this. This is who Defund Social Security Republicans are.
Next thing we need to do is go after gay marriage’: TN GOP candidate says same-sex marriage should be left to the state
““If same-sex is overturned by the current Supreme Court, I would expect the state legislator to act very quickly on that,” he said.”
Why is it that “state’s rights” always seems to involve the selective removal of someone elses rights?
By “drastic consequences”, the White House meant loss of Senate control.
Good thing we’ve got all that oil still left in the SPR. First Vegetable Joe Biden will drain it dry in order to save the Senate.
As gas prices rise during the month of October and “Republicans pounce” on the effects on inflation and the GDP, recall how giddy Democrats were during the summer, when prices were falling.
What goes around…
The low price of Degen’s ten-piece McNuggets, his Windows Phone, and his inflatable Costco hot tub are all purchased with a lot of externalized misery, suffering, and environmental destruction. Higher prices for these things won’t fix the externalities. But they may provide the economic headroom in which they can be.
In pursuit of our “wellbeing” we constantly push producers to improve efficiency. And modern technology delivers, often in ways we never had any time to think about. Other times in ways we are deliberately discouraged from thinking about
Thinking about these things – the implications of our collective decisions as consumers, and our collective decisions as individual citizens pursuing safety – is what Tucker Carlson means to discourage when he mockingly describes something as “woke”, or “effeminate”. The entire project of modern conservative media and much of the politics is all directed toward discouraging thinking.
@ 23
Maybe the price of unleaded gas has been too low. Fuckin’ Trump had four years to boost gas prices to protect Biden from comparison, but nooooooooo!
