    Caltrain electrification is on, as the FTA has, with days to spare, signed off on the grant.

    The Peninsula Commute train has been running so long, it first started, was running with steam engines. Although the GS Series 4-8-4 steam locomotives, after diesels displaced them on the Daylights, were exiled to this duty, SP4449 was not used on the commutes.

    @3 Very loon-like. Looks like he’s awarded himself a whole bunch of police medals. Heh. I bet he makes everyone salute him.

    Just a few months ago the bet was “who in the Trump administration will end up in prison for treason?” The bet’s off. They’re all going to the slammer.

    @5 I hate to disagree….I bet they all beat the rap and we have a 2nd term of Drumpf…..This contradicts my previous thoughts that the end was imminent, but predictability is out the window nowadays.

    @4 “he’s awarded himself a whole bunch of police medals”

    Not exactly. They’re Crackerjack tokens. See, e.g.:

    “This is a pin that reads ‘Sheriff’ made and branded by the Harley-Davidson motorcycle company.”

    “This is a pin for the Israeli civil guard, a branch of the Israeli police that serves as a sort of neighborhood watch since terrorist attacks in the mid-1970s. At other times, Clarke has worn a badge for the Israeli traffic police.”

    “A pin from the National Rifle Association.”

    “A small replica of a 19th-century U.S. Secret Service badge.” (Pretty sure he didn’t serve in the 19th-century Secret Service protecting Lincoln or Grant.)

    “A pin depicting a baby’s feet, signifying support for the antiabortion movement.”

    For a complete rundown on those “medals” that could be identified (some could not), click here:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/05/26/heres-what-the-pins-that-sheriff-clarke-wears-actually-mean/?utm_term=.a82c91116d34

    So, Milwaukee has a sheriff who gets elected as a “Democrat” but hobnobs with the NRA, gives rightwing-sounding speeches at CPAC, and sucks up to Trump hoping for a federal job; wears a cowboy hat and rides horses in parades; and goes around in a uniform adorned with fake medals that make him look like an African potentate.

    He would be comical if he didn’t have people arrested for looking at him on airplanes or kill prisoners in his jail. Apparently he’s too toxic even for the Trumpsters, who appear to be backing away from appointing him to a desk job in DHS.

  13. 13

    @9 Could happen. You can’t trust Republican voters to be sane and rational, or to vote for their own self-interest. They’ve all been brainwashed by rightwing media.

    @16 Here’s Doctor Dumbfuck defending Karl Rove. Still wondering why we call you a dumbfuck?

  18. 18

    If I had ever said Rove was going to the slammer, Doctor Dumbfuck, your lame snide might have finally scored a point. Instead, it’s just another dumbfuck comment written by a dumbfuck doctor who for some strange reason shows up every day to have his ass handed to him by an engineer and an attorney. How that must suck for your bloated ego.

    Glutton for punishment much? Fine. Keep coming back and we’ll gladly oblige.

    The Portland stabbing suspect’s mother says, “I can’t imagine he would do anything like this, unless he was on drugs or something. He’s been in prison, he’s always been spouting anti-establishment stuff but he’s a nice person I just can’t imagine.”

    This “nice person” has a criminal record that looks like this: ” … previously been convicted for felony robbery, kidnapping and possession of weapons.”

    Meanwhile, “Police said they were familiar with him but didn’t see him as a threat to public safety, adding that he suffered from mental illness.”

    Here’s one of the reasons they were familiar with him: “He’s … had ties to white supremacy in the area, according to authorities. On April 29, police confiscated a baseball bat from him at a ‘March for Free Speech’ rally, after which he screamed racial epithets and gave the Nazi salute throughout the day, the Portland Mercury reports.”

    In Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’ district.

    HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — The body of a federal prosecutor has been found on a Florida beach with possible head trauma.

    Hollywood police spokeswoman Miranda Grossman said Thursday that the body of 37-year-old Beranton J. Whisenant Jr. was found early Wednesday by a passerby on the city’s beach. She said detectives are trying to determine if the death was a homicide, suicide or something else.

    http://www.wptv.com/news/state.....rida-beach

    Not that there’s anything suspicious about that.

    Whisenant worked for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami in its major crimes unit. He had joined the office in January. Court records show he had been handling several visa and passport fraud cases.

    I’m sure it’s nothing.

    Another fun fact, in each of the spec election ballots in deep red CDs held so far there has been an average Anti-Traitor swing of 15 points.

  28. 28

    @ 27

    So you’re saying it’s the deep-red races you’re going to win, then?

    Next year are you going to pour as much cash into each race as you did to narrow your losing margins in the special elections so far?

    ’cause that cash probably won’t be coming from the DNC.

    One of the party’s most influential activists is unsparing in his assessment of the old-school approach that has left Democrats crippled in Washington. “The party is broken and irrelevant – until proven otherwise,” says Markos Moulitsas, founder of the Daily Kos, which is emerging as a grassroots giant in the Trump era, helping steer millions in small-dollar donations to candidates. “Instead of wondering why these groups aren’t acting,” Moulitsas says, “we’re taking the lead and mobilizing our base.”

    When I reached him in early May, DNC chair Perez didn’t paint a rosy picture, admitting that much about the party is broken. He sounded an apologetic note that the DNC is early in its reset – “I’m nine weeks into this,” he says – and lacks the resources to fully implement his goals. (In its latest filing, the DNC reported just $10.5 million in cash and $1.8 million in debt.)

    Don’t be fooled by nat media coverage of Portland ProTraitor stabbings. The murderer is no “crazy street person”. Aside from a serious felony record, Jeremy Christian is very well known as a ProTraitor White Supremacist Aggreived WWCM Trump supporter attending lots of rallies, prominent FB presence, having issuied literally dozens of credible violent threats against AAs, Jews, Muslims, and even police. Filled with manifest hate and rage he is nevertheless articulate, self-directed, and very clear in his racist beliefs and violent intentions. In other words a very garden variety Hillbilly Trump Republican.

    And this is precisely why progressives must wake up and recognize that there can be no political coexistence with Republicans anymore. Jeremy Christian is what they have become under Trump’s leadership which they all slavishly support.

  30. 30

    And yet Al Franken was seated as a US Senator.

    EXETER, N.H. – Wise-cracking funnyman Al Franken yesterday body-slammed a demonstrator to the ground after the man tried to shout down Gov. Howard Dean.

    The tussle left Franken’s trademark thick-rim glasses broken, but he said he was not injured.
    …
    “I got down low and took his legs out,” said Franken afterwards.
    …
    Franken emerged from the crowd and charged one male protester, grabbing him with a bear hug from behind and slamming him onto the floor.

    “I was a wrestler so I used a wrestling move,” Franken said.

    http://nypost.com/2004/01/27/a.....n-heckler/

    If there was video of the Gianforte/Jacobs incident, Gianforte would be re-elected with a 25 point margin in 2018.

    Actually, reading this account makes me regard Franken a bit more highly, too.

  31. 31

    @29

    In other words a very garden variety Hillbilly Trump Republican.

    Sure, just as Micah Johnson was a very garden variety Obama-supporting Democrat.

    Most of what you wrote in the first paragraph seems accurate. Why not pound that in, rather than go full metal nutjob with the other shit?

    Oh. You’re a liberal on HA. Silly me.

  32. 32

    “Why not pound that in, rather than go full metal nutjob with the other shit?”

    Yeah, Doctor, nutjobish, say like someone posting the same exact pro-Putin hashtag and “Hillary Clinton will never…” sentence over and over again, thousands upon thousands of times on a little-read blog. Heh. Nothing weird about that.

  33. 33

    Micah Johnson was an outcast from any civilized community.

    Jeremy Christian is only outcast among progressive, intelligent, well educated communities. Until last night, Republicans embraced him wholeheatedly, as they embrace Fuckface, Bannon, Milo, Spencer, Coulter, Putin, Duterte, and Assad, etc.

  34. 34

    @20 Well, let me tell you a story about that, Wayne. One of my college classmates was confronted in her apartment by a burglar. She shot him. He then shot her. He survived; she didn’t.

    Now let’s use a little imagination and try to visualize what might happen if a citizen vigilante opens up on a bad guy on a crowded light rail train …

    My point is, gunplay in the name of self-defense doesn’t always work out the way your NRA happy talk would have people believe.

  35. 35

    @25 Yes, it would take unusually bad leadership and exceptionally unpopular legislation for the opposition to flip that many seats all at once, wouldn’t it? The Democrats would be foolish to pass up an opportunity like this.

  36. 36

    @26 Which, according to standard Republican guilt-by-association thinking, makes Wasserman-Schultz guilty of something. Doctor Dumbfuck isn’t certain what she’s guilty of, only that she’s guilty.

  38. 38

    @30 Here’s Dumbfuck defending assault. Still wondering why we call you Doctor Dumbfuck?

  39. 39

    Personally, I think Doctor Dumbfuck has evolved from being a moron to being a troll. Contrary to Drawinian theory, he hasn’t gotten any smarter during this evolution.

    Sorry, Dumbfuck, they’re all yours forevah. Really, they are you. Ignorant, violent, reactionary, fearful, and growing increasingly isolated and detached.

  43. 43

    @ 40

    Another martyr for the so-called “alt-right”.

    These are your people Doc.

    Ah’ve been gettin’ to thinkin’. Seems to me, that as soon as these guys start on a tirade like that, harassing people or threatening people in public somewhere, the best and safest solution is to just shoot them before they start getting too agitated. It is legal in this State after all, to kill a man when he’s in the course of committing a felony.

  44. 44

    @41 That’s a conversation you’ll never hear, because you’re going to the other place.

  45. 45

    @40 “No need to prove guilt.”

    Of course not. For you Republicans, mere unfounded suspicion is enough. See, e.g., Joe McCarthy et al.

  47. 47

    7)It’s sad what happened in Portland. I hope the suspect at least gets life without, as I am unsure if Governor Kate Brown reversed Kitzahber’s policy on the Death Penalty. One of the victims was a veteran, and lost his life defending people at home.

    Update on the post election talks in British Columbia. The recount and absentee votes increased the New Democrats lead in Courtney-Comox, confirming the seat totals of 43-41-3. The Greens are holding the balance of power. The ball is in the court of Premier Christy Clark, and the Lieutenant(Leftenant) Governor of BC. THE BC Liberals carried the popular vote, but only by 1500.

    Republicans pushing so-called “tort reform” often claim our courts are clogged with frivolous lawsuits. This is sheer nonsense. Lawyers are required to vet lawsuits before filing them, can be sanctioned if they don’t, and nearly all lawsuits are legitimate. However, occasionally a frivolous lawsuit does come before a judge. Here’s an example of what such a lawsuit looks like:

    “A federal judge threw out a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton by the parents of two Americans killed in the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, ruling the former secretary of state didn’t defame them when disputing allegations that she had lied.

    “The lawsuit also alleged the former Democratic presidential candidate’s use of a private email server caused the death of their sons, Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, because it exposed terrorists to sensitive information.”

    Every so often I wonder if Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit and the Fucking Moron are the same person.

    Had you looked further than the People magazine version of the judge’s decision, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, you might have learned:

    “The Court finds that Secretary Clinton was acting in the scope of her employment when she transmitted the emails that are alleged to give rise to her liability,” Jackson wrote…
    …
    Jackson cautioned that she was not opining on the appropriateness of Clinton’s use of the private server or on whether what she said publicly about the Benghazi episode in its immediate aftermath.

    “Nothing about this decision should be construed as making any determination or expressing any opinion about the propriety of the use of the private email server or the content or accuracy of the statements made by the Secretary to the family members or to anyone else in the days following the Benghazi attack,” the judge wrote.
    …
    For the purposes of the suit, “it…does not matter whether Secretary Clinton used a private email server lawfully or unlawfully.

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/.....sed-238880

    It was dismissed on technical grounds and did not opine on the legality of what #CrookedHillary did. We already know it cost her the presidency. Justice has a way of delivering itself, sometimes.

    If anyone is interested in how far Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit @ 55 strayed from fact, here’s the full decision:

    Liberals behaving badly can have consequences. Call this The Click Effect.

    Exhibit A:

    University of Missouri enrollment to decline more than 7 percent; 400 jobs to be eliminated

    For undergraduate enrollment, the university in the past has tried to explain it as a combination of smaller high school graduating classes in Missouri, better recruitment by schools in other states and the aftermath of the November 2015 demonstrations and resignations of system President Tim Wolfe and Columbia campus Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin.

    The university has studied the issue and now sees that it is almost all due to negative publicity since the demonstrations, said Pelema Morrice, vice provost for enrollment.

    “It is clear from what we learned thus far that the vast majority of our undergraduate enrollment concerns are closely tied to our public perception issues throughout the state and throughout the country,” he said.

    I wonder if state legislators can fix this by some Obamacare-like law requiring Missouri parents to send their children to UM, or pay a penalty.

    “What happens when unemployment is 50%, not because of any lack of desire to work, but simply because all of the jobs a person can do are being done by a machine that is cheaper, faster, and better at it than a human could ever be?”

    I dunno, Steve.

    Labor unions run out of money?

  64. 64

    So lemme get this straight, Steve.

    Raising the minimum wage isn’t going to be deleterious, overall, to workers when companies respond by automating and computerizing, because those expenses ultimately are lower than the expenses of employing less accurate humans. #Fightfor15 and Civic Skunk Works and Invictus and shit.

    And yet I’m supposed to answer the question of what happens when unemployment reaches 50% because increasing the cost of human labor makes companies automate and computerize?

    Do I have that correct, Steve?

    Shouldn’t you really be asking that question of one of the #Fightfor15 types instead?

    ’cause what happens when you guys cause your own demise is I’m gonna say,

    “Called it.”

    “Are you going to have a point to make sometime soon?”

    And the point of leaving thousands of pro-Putin hashtags is what, Doctor?

  73. 73

    @20 Perhaps there was a properly trained person with a concealed weapon and permit who wisely choose not to intervene or be a hero. I can only guess how the heroes will be depicted by a good defense attorney. Self defense comes to mind, even if he was a total jerk to two women, others intervened and he acted in self defense.
    Seems bystanders could have waited until the next stop, and see if one of the parties get off the train.

  74. 74

    @34 Someone properly trained probably would not pull a weapon in the situation, It would not be self defense here, but protection of another, though it’s likely our theoretical good guy with a gun would not have viewed the knife and would not have been able to intervene. Perhaps there was such a good guy and things went south and not being personally threatened he did not go for his gun, following proper training, and should be acclaimed a hero with a gun, So is there photos or video of the incident?

    Looks like the prosecutor has a win on their hand because of the weapon charge.

  75. 75

    @47 Would it be better to say the suspect should get a fair trial and is presumed innocent until he is found guilty in a court of law. An reference to a sentence is an assumption he is guilty. Of course if you have been called up for jury duty and want out, and if it’s his trial definitely let the attorneys and judge know about your post. You will be sent home. Well played.

  76. 76

    @55 The judge in the case in no way indicates this case was frivolous or should not have ben filed. He is of course depending in part that the Secretary of State has immunity. We will see what the appeals court rules should the case be appealed.

    What RR leaves out is that attorneys can only do so much to vet. On a preponderance of information given by their client they have to decide. Some phone calls are made, and unfortunately the other side may be incommunicado. So the attorney goes forward and files the case and does discovery and only then finds the laws. Depending on what the attorney does then would decide if he could be told bad lawyer by the court and possible fined.

  77. 77

    …respond by automating and computerizing, because those expenses ultimately are lower than the expenses of employing less accurate humans.

    Kinda disproving your point there, don’t you think?
    No, of course you don’t. Because to simply admit that no self-respecting capitalist entrepeneur was ever anything but a devoted job destroyer would obliterate your whole bullshit schtick. Employees, like all costs to production, are to be minimized and, if possible, eliminated in all circumstances. Marketplaces respond to increased costs. Employers do what yhey always do.

  79. 79

    @76 Attorneys are required to conduct a reasonable investigation before filing. Suing someone based on what InfoWars says does not satisfy that standard.

    80,
    the truly awesome thing is, this Hillbilly-Traitor perv’s theory of self-def would be predicated on the stipulation that it’s perfectly okay for a white man to aggressively harass and threaten two non-white women. This kind of unspoken assumption is what lies at the heart of modern conservatism today. These kinds of beliefs are so encoded into their DNA that they are generally unaware of them. And they take it as an insult if anyone bothers to point them out.

  82. 82

    I always find it amazing that pro nuke energy advocates (typically more so part of the Repukes conservative platform) always tend to ignore or so easily overlooked the immense costs over runs and time delays with construction of such projects and related projects such as the disposal of the waste. People from Washington state should be more so familiar with this being that Hanford is in your backyard.

    If Democrats were more so proponents I’m positive this would be an issue.

    They never let similar overruns with transportation projects go quietly unnoticed.

    @82 Delays and cost overruns are the least of it. I wouldn’t trust the U.S. nuclear industry to mow grass. They are venal to the core — faking inspection paperwork on bad welds, etc. Little has changed since Karen Silkwood. Would you buy a car from a Russian Mafia chop shop? That’s what our nuke plants are like.

  88. 88

    “People from Washington state should be more so familiar with this being that Hanford is in your backyard.”

    A more direct lesson learned in our state about nuclear cost-overruns should be the WPPSS project, commonly know as WHOOPS.

    “In January 1982, the WPPSS board stopped construction on Plants 4 and 5 when total cost for all the plants was projected to exceed $24 billion. Because these plants generated no power and brought in no money, the system was forced to default on $2.25 billion in bonds. This meant that the member utilities, and ultimately the rate payers, were obligated to pay back the borrowed money. In some small towns where unemployment due to the recession was already high, this amounted to more than $12,000 per customer.”

    WHOOPS was so bad, it makes Sound Transit’s cost controls look good.

    Hey Abigail, now what do you say about NK missile capability?

    If I’m not mistaken, I think a little while ago you were brushing it off, with somecsudeways talking bullshit.

    @ Steve @ 88

    I worked in a shop years ago with a welder who worked on the WPPSS project in (I think Satsop) for several years. His job there was a “not-welder”. His job was to go to the site every day at the beginning of his shift, check in, punch the clock and go home. He shared this position with hundreds of other workers whose job it was to come in, punch in, and go home until the shift ended. As they were paid for 12 hour shifts, plus something like guaranteed mandatory 20 hours overtime per week, they were making a shitload of money. His job was paying him $26.00 an hour, for almost four years. Back in the early 80s that was goddamn good money. He told me about making enough to buy two houses, one in North Seattle that he still lived in at the time and a place on the peninsula that was 100 acres of berries and lavender , a large sport fishing boat and a new car every year. Plus, he built a private business, a mobile welding operation that he was still operating part-time whilst he worked at the hydraulics shop we were in.

    The purpose of the work was to rack up costs for the company, which were recompensed by the State and Federal Government. They made about double his wages for every hour he “worked”.

    He knew it was a scam, everyone he worked with knew it was a scam, and they didn’t care because they were doing pretty damn well for themselves.

    LOOKS like the BC Green Party will back the BC New Democrats for the next provincial government. Problem is BC Liberal premier Christy Clark is still in charge until the Legislature is recalled to Vancouver following the last election. She hasv43 seats, Green support gives the NDP 44 seats in the 87 seat legislative assembly.
