It’s Tuesday. That means the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gets together for political discussions and good cheer over drinks. If you aren’t busy being indicted either, consider stopping by!
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm either in the back room of the pub or 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 near you.
Well that’s one more Trumper who’s lost his voting rights for a long time.
@ 1
Behold, the one and only PPP fraud case that will ever be prosecuted.
What are the odds that the target is/was a conservative lawmaker?
This POS should get time behind bars, and there should be another 100,000 like him, with all the fraud that occurred.
We’d be better off if Trump had been re-elected.
@2
Oh really…It would be so easy to use the Google instead of being a moron.
“Two More Defendants Sentenced to Prison for Multimillion Dollar Schemes Involving Preparation of False Tax Returns for Professional Athletes and PPP Loan Fraud
Schemes Caused More Than $44 Million in Losses”
“Two sentenced to federal prison in separate cases for fraudulently obtaining COVID-19 relief funding

More than 40 so far in Southern District prosecuted for pandemic schemes”
“The Eastern District of California in January obtained the very first civil settlement for fraud in the government’s continuing battle against Paycheck Protection Program fraud. U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced the settlement between the Department of Justice and SlideBelts, Inc., an internet retail company and debtor in bankruptcy, and the company’s president and chief executive officer, Brigham Taylor, who are alleged to have fraudulently obtained COVID-19 relief funds by making false claims on multiple PPP loan applications”
“A federal jury convicted a Texas man today for his role in a scheme to fraudulently obtain and launder millions of dollars in forgivable Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.”

There are many many more
In 1980, the repukes cheated and by 1984 a degen troll was hatched, from a Carter voter (even after the REAL “miracle on ice”) to a bonzo raygun buttlicker:
Barnes said he had no idea of the purpose of the Middle East trip when Connally invited him. They traveled to the region on a Gulfstream jet owned by Superior Oil. Only when they sat down with the first Arab leader did Barnes learn what Connally was up to, he said.
Connally said, “‘Look, Ronald Reagan’s going to be elected president, and you need to get the word to Iran that they’re going to make a better deal with Reagan than they are Carter,’” Barnes recalled. “He said, ‘It would be very smart for you to pass the word to the Iranians to wait until after this general election is over.’ And boy, I tell you, I’m sitting there, and I heard it, and so now it dawns on me, I realize why we’re there.”….
But as the years have passed, he said, he has often thought an injustice had been done to Carter. Discussing the trip now, he indicated, was his way of making amends.

Better late than never.
I’m all in on Fascism!
I mean if we CAN’T jail prosecutors for daring to bring a case then this just isn’t a country worth fighting for. We need to just shut down the trial by jury system and let him go.
“Go Fuck Yourselves!”
Independence High School students in rural West Virginia forced school administrators to back down on allowing a terminally ill student to attend during his final days. The student was ‘caught’ with a medically prescribed cannabis vape pen and expelled ‘as a distraction’ earlier in the year. On learning that his diagnosis is now just a few weeks students walked out to demand he be allowed to attend in his final days.
The school relented.
6 – Fascism and socialism/communism are different side of the same coin.
Google “Husband Kills Wives”
Google “Ggggeeee Money is a fucking asshole who needs to be executed in a painful way.”
Fuck you, you arrogant cunt!
@2 Look who’s got a persecution complex. Are you afraid they’ll come for you next? Do you have reason to be?

@10 Mere assertion will get you nowhere here. Explain your reasoning. Show your work. Provide supporting facts and figures, including data and statistics; cite the applicable laws/rules; refer to precedents; and provide analogies. Describe why the facts inexorably lead to this result.
Trump is demanding to be perp-walked into court.

@5 It was obvious to everyone at the time that the hostages being released right after Reagan took office was too strange a coincidence to be a coincidence.
There was Iran Contra and Ollie North. “Arms for hostages,” they called it. An American president funneling guns to the Iranian mullahs through Central American rightwing death squads.
Reagan committed impeachable offenses. Some even called it treason. But that’s not enough to get a president impeached. For that to happen, a president has to be unpopular.
You idiots are actually helping Trump.
@7 The young are always idealistic. Twenty years from now, they’ll be the assholes keeping a terminally ill student away from his classmates using a medically-prescribed as their excuse. They’ll be the parents storming school board meetings to “cancel” LGBQT youths. They just haven’t learned to be assholes yet.
I’ve changed, too. I was young and idealistic once. Now I’m a greedy old capitalist. It happens to everyone. Even Xi Jinping has a capitalist streak, and he’s as greedy as they come.
@15 Trump doesn’t need our help. Nature gifted him a sea of below-average-IQ morons.
“Republicans Are Convinced An Indictment Would Help Donald Trump; Democrats, however, are skeptical. “It’s hard to make ‘convicted of a crime’ a good look,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said.”

Whitehouse is wrong. Today’s Republican Party is basically a prison gang. As a convict, Trump will just be “one of the boys.”
