    “Two Republican senators are facing backlash after tweeting photos of a video call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy even though participating lawmakers were told to not share pictures to social media while it was in progress.

    “Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Steve Daines of Montana posted pictures of Zelenskyy to their Twitter accounts during the Zoom meeting Saturday morning, writing that they were on a call with him.

    “Democratic Reps. Dean Phillips of Minnesota and Jason Crow of Colorado criticized the senators on Twitter.

    “Phillips noted that the ‘Ukrainian ambassador very intentionally asked each of us on the Zoom to NOT share anything on social media during the meeting to protect the security of President Zelenskyy. Appalling and reckless ignorance by two U.S. Senators,'” Phillips wrote.”

    With Diesel prices going up, would be great if Metro put all tge Proterra’ battery buses they have available on Rt226/241(the Charger is at Eastgate Transit Center), and not dieselize tge trolleybuses on weekends. At least this weekend’s dieselization is not entirely due to building construction. They are currently adding a short stretch of wire on NE 43rd St between 15th Ave NE and 12th Ave NE to allow Westbound Rt44 passengers to easily transfer to/from LINK at U-District Station without crossing 45th. To connect the wire to the network, tgey do have to turn at least a few substations off.

    There are some developments with Trolleybus technology that ai think Metro should look into. Near term, Rt58 should be a Trolleybus by 23-25.. Long Term, a couple new RapidRide routes will be Trolleybus routes. In Motion Charging would allow for some interesting off wire possibilities. I’ve brainstormed a few, Rt8 would be easy pickings, just electrify Denny, and use the portion it shares with Rt4 to recharge on MLK Jr way and a short stretch of wire could be added leading into Mt Baker Transit Center. The city would like to extend Rt44 to Laurelhurst, via 45th. Use that for partial wiring of Rt31 and 32.

    The solution seems obvious.

    “Zelenskyy addressed more than 280 senators, House members and staff during the virtual meeting, which, according to an office that helped organize the call, lasted just under an hour and concluded at around 10:25 a.m. ET.”

    Next time, only 278 will be invited.

    Thursday night, something special at Climate Pledge Arena. Don’t think the Kraken or the Sharks have any Ukrainian players, but the Kraken found a way to show some support for Ukraine. A Ukrainian musician who was in the US when the invasion happened, performed the Ukrainian National Anthem.

    https://www.nhl.com/kraken/news/seattle-kraken-roman-vashchuk-ukraine-national-anthem/c-331388480

    Although not Ovechkin, I feel for most of the Russian players in the NHL. MOST are just here to play, probably don’t support, or at least publicly, Putin. With last nights loss to the Capitols, we split our first season series with Washington, which some call the Battle of the First Presidents.(Washington D.C vs Washington State)

  23. 23

    The Corrupt One is running.

    We all know you never identified a crime. Perhaps you’ll do better with corruption.

  24. 24

    Good morning, US liberals.

    Investors brace for U.S. CPI reading of close to 8% next week as risk of durable inflation grows

    This is what you voted for. This will be the GOP message in November, and in 2024.

    You’re gonna need a new candidate.

  25. 25

    @ 23

    We all know you never identified a crime.

    Actually, the FBI director, Comey himself, identified the crime. He just concluded that it wasn’t a successfully prosecutable one, Steve.

    You understand the difference, don’t you? When a PDX Antifa fuck sets fire to a police car and there’s plenty of video evidence, the fuck is arrested, but the Multnomah County DA dismisses the charges the next day, there’s still a smoldering former vehicle. A crime was still committed.

    You understand that, don’t you, Steve? Don’t you?

  26. 26

    Speaking @ 23, 25 of unprosecutable crimes, NYT has a piece about the federal Trump prosecution in NY. Those two asswipe attorneys who resigned when their superior expressed doubts about the case wanted to prosecute even if it wasn’t winnable, because it would have been the “righteous” thing to do.

    Steve, the righteous thing for Comey to do would have been to indict The Corrupt One, #CrookedHillary. This would have forced her from the race, and would have given the DNC time to substitute another candidate, and perhaps prevent Donal Trump from winning the presidency.

    Think on your sins, Steve.

    Heroic police in Apopka Florida came to the aide of vigilant citizens last week to thwart a dangerous bike robbery ring that was threatening the lives and safety of their community.

    Five units of Apopka police, and seven officers, including a supervisor, responded to the report that an armed citizen patrol had apprehended a suspect in the daring, daylight robbery of a 20″, neon magenta “Stingray” bike. Swarming to the scene police took custody of the dangerous 11-year-old offender, subdued him, placed him under arrest, put him in restraints and secured him in the back of a unit, all while holding off a street mob consisting of agitated affiliates. Officers kept their cool, despite the pressures and completed their in-depth investigation at the scene. Upon determining that the bike in question had been a Christmas gift to the boy this past year, they thanked and congratulated the armed vigilant citizens patrol for their fine efforts and proceeded to transport the child for booking “just in case” and also “out of an abundance of caution for officer and community safety”.

    Following routine finger printing and cavity search the arrest reports were mis-filed and 11-year-old Jamir Bradford was given a bus ticket and a warm soda and released into the street. No charges have been filed. But they’ll be keeping their eyes on this one. You can be sure of that.

    More police gets you more of this.
    It’s just that simple.

  29. 29

    Actually, the FBI director, Comey himself, identified the crime.

    There was no crime, you stupid low IQ traitor.

    “But, but, her emails!”

    Any comment on the 15 boxes of stolen classified documents and those other classified documents your raging orange man-baby flushed down a WH toilet?

    Turn your gaze toward Republicans and you’ll see seditious conspiracy and treason. But you won’t do that because you’ll see that you’re one of them, you lying POS traitor.

  30. 30

    Think on your sins, Steve.

    Along with treason, your sins include jacking off while looking at photos of bare-chested Putin. My sins are pretty much limited to fucking beautiful young women, something to which you obviously can’t relate.

    You understand the difference, don’t you? Don’t you?

  31. 31

    Liddle took $1.5 million in Putler money (via Russian straw donors).
    Earns it by helping Putler geo-locate Zelensky for air strikes.

  33. 33

    32,

    That’s the shitty thing about federal criminal conspiracy charges.

    It only requires an agreement among the participants, and a single overt act in furtherance of the underlying crime. The overt act itself need not be criminal (driving the getaway car under the speed limit obeying all the traffic laws, etc.). Stone understands this well from his Nixon/Watergate days.

    But there is a rather steep statutory intent requirement that would be difficult to meet (prosecutor must show evidence that they knew they were transporting bank robbers away from a bank robbery or attempted bank robbery). My guess is these offenses will go unindicted owing to the intent requirements and the sensitive political nature and identity of the offenders. I don’t really doubt that they knew what they were doing, had previously agreed to do so, and knew it was in support of a criminal conspiracy to overturn the election by fraud. But I’m just as sure that they did so comfortably sure that they could deny that knowledge and escape criminal indictment.

    Stone, on the other hand, could be in trouble again.
    It’s his destiny it seems.

    Was some fucking pathetic impotent troll complaining earlier about a former Sec. of State sending “sensitive” email to an off-brand tablet device or some shit? Poor thing.

    Probably would be more if they weren’t systemically discriminated against. Not sure how many MoH heroes were Republicans, but 20 years ago, when Shrub launched his recreational war in Iraq, you would’ve been hard-pressed to find a Republican in Congress who didn’t dodge the Vietnam draft. And Trump, of course, is “Cadet Bone Spurs.” The GOP is a bunch of fucking cowards who swagger and talk big, but run from real fights. I think Republicans should be exempted from military service, because they’re not going to serve anyway, but mainly because I don’t want to be in a foxhole with somebody who’s going to cut and run.

    @22 “(Washington D.C vs State of Washington)

    Remember, Seattle is Huskyland …

    The best thing Washington State ever did was fire that anti-vax jerkoff.

  37. 37

    35)Kraken being a new team, we need to develop new rivalries. Although Vancouver is close, Montreal for sentimental value (1917 Metropolitans Stanley Cup. ). If we ever get the Basketball team again, Portland is a rivalry ready to be rekindled, just like the Cascadia Cup rivalry between Sounders FC, Whitecaps FC, and Timbers FC in MLS.

  38. 38

    @25 So you have a video of Hillary throwing a molotov cocktail into a police car? If not, maybe Trump’s Russian pals will make one for you.

  39. 39

    @26 Speaking of asswipes, Republicans have spent $100 million of our tax money trying to pin a crime on Hillary, and can’t even convict her of a parking violation.

    You do know how silly pushing this line of argument makes you look, don’t you?

  40. 40

    @27 Did the cops keep his Christmas bike as “evidence”? Is the police chief’s son riding it now?

  41. 41

    @33 Stone has two problems. (1) He can’t restrain himself. (2) Pardons don’t apply prospectively.

  42. 42

    Love the footage of the Russian Soldiers getting trapped in the elevator. Idiots. In a War Zone, always take the stairs.

  43. 43

    40,
    Yes. Initially at least, they kept the bike until the civil infraction record, related to the reported robbery of the bike, was cleared.

    Of course the family is going to sue, if they have any common sense at all. And not for the money, although given the circumstances the kid will never be able to trust a cop as long as he lives. But at least so they can get a full accounting by the police.

    This is the single biggest problem with police accountability in the U.S. There is no real accountability. “Investigations” are completed, most of the time by the same police agency that is being investigated. And then the agency itself decides what gets shared with the public about the results of the investigation. The end.

    That’s the reason Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty is suing her city. Under their system, and it is not unique or unusual, that’s the only way even she can get any kind of accounting out of them for the criminal frame up conspiracy the police pulled on her last spring. Nobody other than the chief of police has access to the investigative file. Not even a City Commissioner. And the police department admits that’s what happened. They just won’t say how, why, or by whom.

    The $5 million will certainly come in handy when she wins. And it makes sense too. Since it’s pretty fucking obvious that a very powerful taxpayer funded police union will stop at nothing, she needs a well funded campaign to withstand the attacks. But the main thing the lawsuit gets her is civil discovery. Right now the city strategy is to try and get the case tossed on immunity. But once that fails they’ll offer a settlement to avoid discovery. It’s only money, after all.

  44. 44

    @ 27

    More police gets you more of this.
    It’s just that simple.

    More cars on the road means more fatalities. And yet we put more cars on the road and we increase their weights and cornering speeds with low-to-the-ground batteries. Oh, and we let people drive without touching the steering wheel.

    More cars on the road gets you more dead people.

    It’s just that simple.

  45. 45

    @ 29

    Any comment on the 15 boxes of stolen classified documents and those other classified documents your raging orange man-baby flushed down a WH toilet?

    Not yet.

    Although if I were to comment, I would ask whether the boxes were full of classified information, or merely materials that are supposed to remain in the custody of the White House archivists, Steve. ’cause there’s a difference.

    In addition, the most frequently cited legislation apparently places custody in the hands of the presiden.

    The Presidential Records Act requires that all presidential documents, from diaries to drafts of speeches, be retained, both for current reference and the historical record. Although the law gives the president the responsibility for the custody and management of the records, it does not allow him to decide which records should be kept or destroyed.

    That power lies with the National Archives and Records Administration, which reviews the records and determines if they qualify for inclusion in the presidential archive.

    Steve, are you able to prove this isn’t akin to the former president being asked to return an overdue library book?

    What a grumpy widdle snowflake you have become, Steve.

  46. 46

    Steve contends that the Presidential Records Act was violated by Monica Lewinsky when she exited the White House in possession an official presidential emission.

  47. 47

    In March of 1986 the new Soviet Ambassador to the U.N. Yuri Dubinin arrived in the U.S. and was immediately taken by his daughter Natalya, who at that time was attached to KGB at the Soviet U.N. delegation, to visit Trump Tower. They arrived unexpectedly according to them, but were nonetheless escorted to Trump’s offices and met with him. Trump was said to have been enormously flattered by the ambassador’s visit, and it made a profound impression. Six months later the veteran Soviet diplomat arranged to be seated with Trump at a business luncheon hosted by Leonard Lauder, CEO of Estee Lauder. Six months after that meeting, with KGB approval, Dubinin, who by this time had been named Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., delivered an invitation to Trump for a hosted visit to Moscow. The trip was arranged through the KGB directorate overseeing tourism and took place in July of 1987

    Two months after returning from his KGB hosted trip, Trump spent $100,000 on full page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe calling for an end to NATO.

    They had him at hello.

    And now they have the entire GOP.

  48. 48

    @ 27

    ..all while holding off a street mob consisting of agitated affiliates.

    Clearly QoS McHillbilly did not watch the video available in a link from his link. Had he done so, he would have observed that everyone in the recording not wearing a police uniform is black. He would not have described those civilians as a street mob, nor as agitated. He might not have even posted about this, because a slightly more careful look makes clear that one black kid lied about another black kid, and the second kid was cuffed for less than a minute to settle him down while police did their investigation. Further, FOIA requests for the body cams have been filed, and we’ll soon learn that the cuffs were used for a defensible reason.

    We all learned, didn’t we, from the Rittenhouse prosecutors that everyone takes a beating now and then, and we should each just suck it up and absorb the blows when they occur.

  50. 50

    @ 47

    …Trump spent $100,000 on full page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe calling for an end to NATO.

    QoS McHillbilly, is that what Trump did?

    Or did Trump merely argue that the US shouldn’t be paying for the defense of nations that can afford to contribute more to their defense?

    “For decades, Japan and other nations have been taking advantage of the United States,” the letter declares. “The saga continues unabated as we defend the Persian Gulf, an area of only marginal significance to the United States for its oil supplies, but one upon which Japan and others are almost totally dependent.”

    […]

    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilanbenmeir/that-time-trump-spent-nearly-100000-on-an-ad-criticizing-us#.xvmvrrMvE

    None of the sources I turned to have indicated that Trump called for the US to leave NATO in his 1987 ad. One of them thought that Trump was testing the waters for a 1988 presidential run, though.

    I encourage each reader of HA to check QoS’s math when he posts about, well, nearly anything. Steve’s, too. It’s really not possible to check The Even Bigger Fucking Moron‘s sources, since Dr. Seuss has been cancelled and his books have been burned.

  51. 51

    “Unless you’re ready to, I guess, kill us all, you better change your minds because we’re not going to live as slaves.”

    I’m fairly certain that was the premise for at least two Star Trek episodes.

    Red pilled?

    Or just another aging has-been whose personal and professional life has disintegrated out from under him so he “goes Galt” so that way it’s “his choice”?

    Cocaine. Wow. Really something.

  52. 52

    @ 49

    Geezus fucking hell. Is it even possible to be this desperate for attention?

    QoS McHillbilly, may I introduce Mr. Jussie Smolett.

  54. 54

    50,
    Degen still plumbing the blood soaked depths for whatever else he can do to better serve Trump and Putin.

    This is the GOP.

  55. 55

    More on @ 47, 50:

    In the AP’s news coverage of Trump’s ad, NATO is not even mentioned. NATO was not mentioned in coverage by the NYT or NY Mag, either.

    Here’s what QoS McHillbilly wrote: “…Trump spent $100,000 on full page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe calling for an end to NATO.”

    When someone else on HA makes a mistake similar to his, I believe it is what QoS McHillbilly refers to as a lie.

    Since you asked …

    “Trump took documents to Mar-a-Lago that are so sensitive they may not be described in public, report says”

    “Trump took documents of the ‘very highest levels of classification’ to Mar-a-Lago, per The Washington Post.”

    “One source informed The Post that there are records ‘that only a very few have clearances’ to review.”

    @50 ““The world is laughing at America’s politicians as we protect ships we don’t own, carrying oil we don’t need, destined for allies who won’t help.”

    Park your F-350 and send the oil back.

    “Trump writes that Americans could ‘help our farmers, our sick, our homeless ….’”

    When he had that chance, he helped billionaires instead.

    Really, doc, by shilling for this man you only make yourself look like an even bigger dumbfuck.

  66. 66

    @53 Are you claiming you made it to age 10 before your downhill slide began? I’m not sure I believe that.

  68. 68

    …the Russian military has Bradley Mannings, too.

    Not according to GOP Senator Raphael Cancun on those occasions when he bravely ventures out from behind “his girls”.

    Say Putin is “woke” and troll gets a pay cut.

  69. 69

    @67 I’ve been saying Democrats should behave more like Republicans, but now I see the downside to that. I forgot that Democrats fire candidates who behave like Republicans.

  70. 70

    64,
    The problem with Trump’s “populism” is that it is scientifically engineered to exclusively appeal to “socially conservative and fiscally liberal” voters.

    Which means it earns him the Beeper King electorate:
    https://youtu.be/47TgUnrIArQ

    And needless to say, those dudes don’t vote.

  71. 71

    At his headliner address last night before a crowd of the 250 largest GOP political funders gathered in New Orleans, Trump took considerable pains to reassure the crowd that, having won two times already, he was prepared to accept their nomination in 2024.

    It’s a done deal.

  74. 74

    @73 The first link was supposed to be only the picture of the trailer that Mark Meadows used as a voting address in the 2020 election.

    Mark and Debbie Meadows registered to vote in September 2020 at a trailer they didn’t own in the mountains of North Carolina. His apparent motive was to establish a North Carolina voting residence in case he decided to run for the open Senate seat there in 2022 (on which he passed).

    Debbie Meadows rented the trailer — several years ago, not in 2020 — and according to the owner, stayed there only 1 or 2 nights. The owner says Mark Meadows never spent a single night there. The property was for sale when they used it as a voter registration address, but they didn’t buy it. They bought this instead.

    New Yorker magazine just published an expose (link @72). I hope the North Carolina AG (who’s a Democrat) opens an investigation. If black people go to prison for voting fraud, then white people should be treated the same, no matter who they are.

  75. 75

    Republican lawmakers and “conservative” media darlings have seen a sudden plateau and drop in account followers and RTs since Russia banned Twitter.

    A few bot farms have managed to get around the block using VPNs. But with subscription costs skyrocketing and more and more revenue streams drying up, only a few can afford it.

    Degen throws up his last post before going silent Wednesday morning. Then doesn’t reappear until Saturday, perfectly overlapping with the termination of bot farm access activity inside Russia and the switch over to VPN tunneling. Coincidence?
