It’s a beautiful day! Join us this evening as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gets together to raise a toast and chat about life, politics, and summer plans.
We meet tonight and 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 or, perhaps, on the back patio. We start at 8:00pm.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.
With 34% of the precincts reporting, the “jigaboo” guy running for the Democrat nomination for Senate in Maryland, David Trone, is getting 47.1% of the vote. A woman who would take exception to his racial slur, Angela Alsobrooks, is getting 49.1%.
Trone is doing significantly worse in the city of Baltimore. Go figure.
Tidbit of the day: Did you know that the city of Baltimore is not located within any county?
This should put an end to HA libbies’ claims of genocide in Gaza.
Common sense should have prevented the claims in the first place, except for unserious twats like Queen YLB.

@1 And you accuse me (falsely) of using racist language in my posts?
@2 Conservatives believe the only good Palestinian is one who passively submits to Israel’s kicks. Zionists believe the only good Palestinians are dead ones. No exceptions for children and babies.
@4 “We received a strong message from the state’s elected officials,” all Republicans, so what do you expect?
“These initial steps are a good-faith effort on the part of the university to respond to legislative action” for self-preservation in one of America’s whitest and most conservative states.
Republicans: Making racism acceptable again.
Sad loss from of the Ballard Fishing Fleet, I really liked this one, and not just because it’s moored where I work. Or was moored where I worked. Looked in ok shape over the last week, they took it for a test run last week as Alaska Salmon season is starting.

@4 The greedy racist incel lies by omission.
The school had little choice but to cut the diversity program.
State lawmakers voted in March to cut $1.73 million from the University of Wyoming’s block grant and forbid state funding for the school’s diversity program. At a packed Board of Trustees meeting in March, students, educators, and community members rallied in support of DEI initiatives, and the Board of Trustees pledged to vote on a path forward at their May meeting.
The racist politicians forced the school to abandon DEI, even through the students, educators, and community members wanted it. (Didn’t they say they were the party of local control) So the school got rid of the umbrella DEI label but dispersed much of the functions of DEI across the school.
@1 Seriously? What does it take to get a racist banned or at least have posts deleted? Don’t give him a platform. Making him go some where else to say the vile racist stuff out loud.
Don’t tolerate the intolerant.
Reminder that the Village Idiot claims The Rapist won the 2020 election that he lost, brought lasting peace to the Middle East, and invented French toast.
For the third time this month a large convoy of 90 trucks full of approved food aid was heading from Jordan to Gaza when it was stopped by armed Israeli settlers in the West Bank and destroyed yesterday.
Police on duty did nothing. Some of the armed settlers have been identified as off duty police.
@1 Rich white snob left in the dust by black woman in Maryland Senate primary. It isn’t close. Alsobrooks has a 12-point lead.
On the GOP side noncandidate Nikki Haley is getting 20% in Maryland and 18% in Nebraska after scoring 22% in Indiana last week. Just a protest vote, mind you; Republicans who refuse to vote for Trump, who went to the trouble of turning out to cast a veto against their party’s nomination, and might feel that way in November, too.
Jan. 6 political prisoner (“I did time for Trump”) crushed in West Virginia GOP primary by 25 points.

Maybe it would be a good idea to just get out of – and stay out of – the fray between the Israel and Palestine. Israel is not our friend, and neither is Palestine.
@18 Yeah, turning a blind eye and deaf ear to oppression and genocide is always good policy. We didn’t bomb Auschwitz in WW2. It wasn’t our concern. (sarcasm)
With your attitude, we won’t have any friends.

Too late: the US doesn’t have any friends.
@20 It’s dark up there in your ass, isn’t it?
Of course he was. He probably was at the wheel, too.

From previous thread –
I think the alternative way of understanding is to decry foul after being found guilty by the jury. Like a stolen election that wasn’t stolen, this trial and charges are all fake!!!! And that is the only ultimate defense. He doesn’t have to convince a jury, just the knuckle dragging Neanderthal folk like Bob The Horse Lover.
Genocide. Bob for once believes his government. What a Dumbfuck. Try recognizing a political football and political correctness when you see it, Dumbfuck.
Really annoying that I have to take my device off a wifi connection to post and then put it back on after making my comments.
HA Maoists, you defeat yourselves. You become the advocates of censorship. Enough with the bullshit that it’s a computer program programming that is moderating me. It’s not working. Lift the moderation.
The BBC is reporting the Prime Minister of Slovakia has been shot in the abdomen. The authorities have captured a suspect.
23,
I agree that much of the defense seems to be focused on how the ultimate criminal conviction will play out before an audience of ignorant, aggrieved, mouth breathing, loyal MAGA donors like the Village Idiot.
But I would also point out that when these criminal charges were finally brought a little over a year ago, and in the wake of over 90 other felony indictments in other cases and other jurisdictions, it was “widely agreed” by “experts” that any conviction on these charges would be difficult if not impossible. Much was made at the time of the resignation of a lead prosecutor from Bragg’s office over the decision to move ahead with a grand jury. Based on that alone major corporate media like the NYT engaged in open cynicism about the merits of the case, even before they had any idea what the evidence and testimony would be.
Now it’s more than a year later and the prosecution is close to resting their case. And so far, and barring any surprises from the defense, it’s been a very thorough and clockwork prosecution displaying absolutely none of the weaknesses or complications predicted by all those media “experts” last year.
So the most likely reason the defense isn’t focusing on obtaining an acquittal is that they can’t.
Common sense should have prevented the claims in the first place,
How seriously anti-semitic of you…
