    So that giant campaign donation I claimed was my funds…

    Funny thing.

    And that signature verifying it on my federal campaign disclosure forms by my ‘campaign treasurer’…

    Funny thing.

    I’ll…welll… just see you in prison.

    For 19 years, Theater District Station in Tacoma did its job, but obsolete with the T-Line’s Hilltop extension. Hope they move its artwork to Commerce Street Station, which will replace it connecting with Pierce Transit’s Downtown Hub. The theater lights and playbills on the Sidewalk were a good homage to the Rialto and Pantages. Commerce Street, being an infill funded by the City of Tacoma, is a great example of a concept called, Keep it Simple, Stupid, or KISS. A Couple bus shelters.

    I know it’s BAD. I’ve heard.

    So do I really need to watch the Tyre Nichols Video or can I just continue to pretend cops are heroes.

  11. 11

    Oh jeez. that beating video was inhumane. his face was kicked like a football.

    After, once he lost consciousness, they got pissed that he wasn’t complying with their commands to sit up, and proceeded to absolutely wail on him with their clubs.

    Then the cops stood around smoking and talking about the beating (compared to the way someone would talk about a ball game) until the ambulance showed up. He was beyond helping by then.

    They didn’t see him as another human being.

    That’s how. You can get people to do some fucked up shit when they’re convinced that someone else is subhuman.

  12. 12

    Troll is like those cops. Every opportunity he gets to dehumanize gay people or powerful women or black people, he takes. He verbally takes kicks on us every chance he gets.

    The AZ Republican party has become so carried away with paranoia and jealousy that when Maricopa met recently to elect new county leadership for the party they couldn’t get delegates to use the voting machines.

    The state level party is meeting this weekend in the same all white, snake handler mega church in Phoenix. And the shit show continues.

    This is why Doug Ducey has retired and is not attending this weekend.

  18. 18

    And in case you had any doubt, when all the dust settled, after the meeting collapsed and counting suspended, the leadership battle for Maricopa Republicans was won by Kari Lake, Wendy Rogers, and the rest of a slate of election deniers backed by the Pillow crackhead.

    My attempts to turn this into an investment blog are having mixed results.

    – When is the last time you read Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s report of his daily market take at the expense of some Rethuglican?

    – When is the last time you read Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s report of his brokerage account balance, down to the dollar?

    – When is the last time you read a full-throated defense of a dog stock by Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, shortly before that company lost a further 2/3 of its market cap and cut its dividend by more than 95%?

    – I’ve collared the disgusting motherfucker to such an extent that he’s not even dishing racial slurs anymore.

    POS like Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit are influencers of gullible fucks like The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, who don’t know any better and therefore take everything they read from anyone they think is progressive at face value.

    It’s been years since Darryl shut down Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s “Liberals must arm.” idiocy. Hell, if not for me The Even Bigger Fucking Moron would have gone all-in on GE and 3M.

    In G-clown, HA already has one homosexual with a pitifully small AGI and a wholly inadequate retirement account balance. Let’s not let that happen to The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, too. That starts with not letting Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit get away with obviously false bravado and demonstrably poorly reasoned investment advice.

  24. 24

    Ducey’s prospects to be the next Republican assassination target Vice President are certainly better than his chances of getting into the Senate.

    And as long as there are hapless gullible tools willing to pay for all of it, and if Ben Carson can pull it off, why shouldn’t he?

    Air Force general predicts war with China in 2025, tells officers to prep by firing ‘a clip’ at a target, and ‘aim for the head’

    A four-star Air Force general sent a memo on Friday to the officers he commands that predicts the U.S. will be at war with China in two years and tells them to get ready to prep by firing “a clip” at a target, and “aim for the head.”

    In the memo sent Friday and obtained by NBC News, Gen. Mike Minihan, head of Air Mobility Command, said, “I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me will fight in 2025.”

    Air Mobility Command has nearly 50,000 service members and nearly 500 planes and is responsible for transport and refueling.

    Modern paranoid whites only GOP translation:

    He is very disappointed and more than a little frustrated that BORTAC wasn’t deployed and Jesse Hagopian won’t be getting another big settlement check from Stafford Frey.

    *Also not at all true.
    There were many large peaceful protests in hundreds of cities. But when Andy Ngo failed to film any trash fires FOX lost all interest.

  37. 37

    35,
    Actually they don’t.

    Like Trump, they rely on a small dollar click-driven financial ecosystem bottom fed by angry racist paranoiacs like the shit-lord failure, combined with the periodic big checks from Putin Pals laundered through NFTs, fake charities, dick pill endorsements, and ghost written fake book sales.

    Although Arizona GOP has its own unique take – “Ninja” contracts through the state or the party to conduct fake “election security”.

  38. 38

    @33 Minihan is the kind of quotable military loudmouth beloved by bloodthirsty rightwingers who like to “see the arms and legs fly” (attributed to a Vietnam War general).

    From Wikipedia: “In September 2022, Minihan said at a military conference that the Air Force was responsible for the biggest ‘pile of our nation’s enemy dead’ among the branches of the American military and that ‘[w]hen you can kill your enemy, every part of your life is better. Your food tastes better. Your marriage is stronger.'”

    Exactly Bob’s kind of military guy.

    I’m at the library reading Barrons for free. From this week’s issue:

    “Most people are rational in their nonfinancial lives. … Yet many of those same people are outrageously delusional about the markets. They try constantly to maximize profits while ignoring powerful forces that are within their control, like dividends and compound returns. Dividends, after all, account for about 45% of historical stock returns.”

    There are, of course, no dividends and no compounded returns in options trading. Barrons adds,

    “These investors are so intent on ‘top ticking’ their investments that they routinely buy high and sell low even though they are intent on the opposite.”

    Does that sound like anybody we know? (Now wait for the GE rant.)

  40. 40

    @37 “Although Arizona GOP has its own unique take – “Ninja” contracts through the state or the party to conduct fake “election security”.”

    It turns out $1 million of that money came from a Trump-controlled PAC.

  41. 41

    $1 million of that money came from a Trump-controlled PAC.

    IOW from random Putin Pals and bone saw artists.

    FOX now:
    “This is what happens when you have young black men being supervised by a single black woman. This is what happens in cities run by single black mothers and a lack of male authority.”

    The standard joke in the investment world about newbies getting into options trading is that they make a small fortune in options by starting their endeavors with large fortunes.

    Or to make the same point with brevity, Trump was outspent by #CrookedHillary 2:1, and The Corrupt One still lost, bigly.

    At the request of DOJ Public Integrity, the FEC has suspended its investigation of the George Santos campaign.

    Yeah, he’s fucked. Plus, we get to hear the “due process” defense by the GOP for the next several months. Although that’s not a bad choice, given the recession that will no longer be deniable by the time the indictments are handed down. The loss of a GOP seat will be compensated for by the distancing from the administration that Democrats will display by then.

    He won’t tell us, of course, but Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit is a newbie at options trading.

    This week Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit crowed about his AT&T investment. His shares rose an astounding 3.6% on the week.

    Tesla shares surged 33% this week, marking their best weekly performance since May 2013 and second best on record.

    Everybody cheer for Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit!

  49. 49

    Or to make the same point…

    …it isn’t a problem at all for Democrats that pipe-bomb wielding, crazed Arizona Republicans are just like Trump:
    Completely beyond the control of national party leaders like Moscow Mitch, and consequently free to nominate whichever QUALITY candidates they like.

    Maybe Kari Lake improves with age.

    I guess Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit spent so much time in the bathroom while at the library that day earlier this month that he didn’t make it to this Barron’s article:

    It wouldn’t have done him any good, of course. Any share trading higher than $50 is out of Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s reach, anyway.

  52. 52

    I thought this was a joke.

    Mostly ignored by the media. But especially ignored by the GOP-aligned FOX cinematic universe.

    @42 Not to be overlooked, Fox assumes a 29-year-old black man lives with his mother and needs to be supervised like a 9-year-old child.

    So far, there’s no evidence Tyre Nichols was driving recklessly, and plenty of evidence a special police unit was arbitrarily pulling over “suspicious” looking drivers hoping to find something incriminating in their unconstitutional vehicle searches.

  57. 57

    @45 You must be new to this game. Almost all presidents have a recession occur in their first terms. You use your first year to pass your legislative agenda, the second year to implement it, if you time things properly you eat the inevitable recession in your third year, and in your fourth year you ride a recovering and strengthening economy to re-election.

    Listening to doc, you’d think Biden invented the business cycle.

  65. 65

    58,

    Going by official government data Democrats have never had recession in modern times.

    Going by Shit Lord data, Biden has already had four.

    But not even a Shit Lord failure would pretend that Trump (20% recession) was anything but an economic calamity surpassing normal measure.

    Most folks forget that “W” (just like Nixon) had two. Because the first one was so tiny and so brief that his second “Great Recession” made them forget (9/11 helped too).

    If Biden has a recession I expect it to look pretty much exactly like Shrub’s first.

  66. 66

    @52 As Huffington Post points out here, the campaign donors listed in Santos’ FEC reports either don’t exist or say they didn’t give any money to his campaign. At this point, the FBI probably is looking into where the money did come from.

    So tell me how it works…

    Donald, kicking off his campaign

    There are Republican governors that did not close their states, Florida was closed for a long period of time.

    They’re trying to rewrite history.

    Ron would have not been governor if it wasn’t for me.

    So when I hear he might run, I consider that very disloyal,

    So let’s say Donald wipes the floor with Ron. Biden gets a second term in a walk. Thanks Gen Z.

    And let’s say Ron ekes out the nomination in a brutal primary campaign. Don is who Don is so ‘it was stollen, everybody knows it, the RNC stole it. It was rigged.’

    The loyal Trumpers who make up a very sizable share of GOP voters go apeshit, maybe violent, and Don is either a declared 3rd party candidate or the receiver of many millions of write in votes or they just stay home.

    Biden wins in a walk.

    You can pretend it’s not happening but the GOP is so very very fucked.

  71. 71

    55,

    All the other problematic issues aside, the fundamental problem wit SCORPION TEAMS and other “flood the zone” approaches to police work is that it assumes that police patrols actually prevent crime.

    They do not.

    But since these approaches do make that assumption, and since they are very expensive and divert lots of resources, command staff and civilian leaders demand results. So these units invariably wind up either juking stats or creating crimes.

    In this case it appears they were routinely making pretextual stops without probable cause and then escalating the stops as much as possible to get felony arrests.

    Don’t be surprised to learn that these guys have commendations, rank and promotion in their personnel files.

    They were doing their job.

    And that is the problem.

    Not going to lie just to feel better.
    Biden’s age is a big liability for his campaign. They face a giant challenge in trying to convert that into a positive for independent voters. The simplest and most obvious approach is emphasizing “calm”, “steady”, “experienced”, “accomplished”, “capable”, “proven”, etc. leadership.

    An opposition party who collectively lose their shit diving headlong into wildly paranoid conspiracy and grievance, and then volunteer to make canceling Social Security, defaulting the Treasury, and outlawing birth control their top priorities play directly into that strategy.

    The more this goes on the more I like Biden’s chances.

  82. 82

    Republicans appear entirely disinterested in understanding why they lost ground in the Senate, and only barely claimed a small, fractured and dysfunctional majority in the House.

    However, exit polls show that, as expected, Republican voters outnumbered Democrats in the four battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania. In a fifth, New Hampshire, the two parties were represented in equal proportions. Yet despite Republican’s numerical advantage Democratic candidates won the Senate races in all five states. They did it by carrying the independent vote — and in each state except Nevada, the Democratic nominee’s margin among independents exceeded 10 percentage points.

    Trump’s incessant whining about his loss, the rotating menu of culture war grievances, and DERP STATE paranoia have almost no traction among these voters.
    And none of them will be participating in 2024 nominating primaries.

    How do the Democrats think they’re going to remove the Biden-Harris ticket from the 2024 presidential election and run a more Marxist-Leninist duo against the Republicans?

    To see a troll’s just deserts. Michael Caputo was consumed with always wrong wing hate and got cancer for its trouble.

    The drumpfist troll Caputo lived to regret its hate..

    This will be the fate of teh kreepshit-lord of widbee.. But it’s doubtful it will survive to have any regrets.

    Indie Supergroup Who Is She? Dropped As Seattle Kraken House Band After Dissing Jeff Bezos In Amazon Arena

    Seattle supergroup Who Is She? — aka members of Tacocat, Chastity Belt, and Lisa Prank — have been disinvited from their gig as “house band” at Seattle Kraken games taking place over the weekend. On Wednesday, the group played in between periods at Climate Pledge Arena (as planned) during an ice hockey match between the Kraken and Vancouver Canucks. They played a version of Le Tigre’s “My My Metrocard” with the lyrics changed to “My My Orca Card.”

    “Oh no, Jeffrey Bezos/ He’s such, a total jerk/ Shut down, all the bookstores/ Billionaires do not work,” the new lyrics went. (The 1999 original takes aim at Rudy Giuliani — still holds up.)

    Anyway, Bezos is the CEO of Amazon, and Amazon has the naming rights at Climate Pledge Arena. “In an unfortunate turn of events, apparently we are not welcome back at Jeff Bezos’ Climate Pledge Arena for tonight and tomorrow’s hockey games,” Who Is She? tweeted on Friday. “Glad we got to play our take on this @letigreworld song, we had a blast. Sorry to anyone who was hoping to see us play. Go Kraken!”

    Warren throws support behind Biden for reelection, defers on Harris as running mate

    But Warren said she wants to “defer” to what makes Biden “comfortable” with choosing his running mate. She said she has known Harris for many years and likes her, having worked with her on housing.

    “But they need, they have to be a team. And my sense is they are. I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are,” she said.

    Biden could have chosen competence, or skin color and gender. He chose skin color and gender.

    Warren’s a lying POS, but she’s at least competent. Momala is nothing more than an embarrassment to the Democrat party, and Warren knows it. Now we know she knows it.

    Florida finishing 2022 with record $22 billion surplus

    The state of Florida is reporting a $21.8 billion surplus in 2022, the highest in state history. The state also decreased its debt by $1.3 billion this year, according to a newly published State Debt Report from the State of Florida Division of Bond Finance.

    According to the report, Florida decreased its debt by $1.3 billion, increased its revenues by 17% ($8.5 billion), and maintained its AAA bond rating primarily because of its strong growing economy.

    Gov. Ron DeSantis maintains that Florida’s economy has flourished because of its commitment to lower taxes and regulations and ensuring that businesses remained open when other states enacted strict lockdown policies. As states like California increased taxes, especially on businesses, DeSantis earlier this year signed the largest tax relief bill in Florida history with more than $1.2 billion in savings.

    One of the ways Florida keeps spending low is by underpaying its teachers. Average teacher salary there is 4th lowest in the nation, behind Louisiana, and ahead of only West Virginia, Mississippi, and South Dakota. A Florida teacher can get a raise by moving to Alabama, Oklahoma, or Arizona. It might be an alluring retirement haven, but it’s no place to raise kids if you care about their education.

    https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/teacher-pay-by-state

    DeSantis apparently believes education that qualifies kids for jobs in fast food is good enough.

    Speaking of college degrees on eBay, DOCTOR Jill Biden is in the news because the on-screen graphics and the voiceover announcers made sure we know that she has the same doctorate as does serial rapist Bill Cosby.

    The fawning insistence on the use of the prefix “Dr.” is silly.

    Jill Biden and the Doctoring of Doctoral Degrees for Nondoctors

    Most EdD degrees can be completed part-time with no coursework beyond the often substandard offerings from the school of education. Some doctor of education degree candidates may complete a capstone project in lieu of a dissertation. Jill Biden’s 120-page dissertation, “Student Retention at the Community College Level: Meeting Students’ Needs,” is a capstone project masquerading as a dissertation. As one commentator wrote, it “shimmers with the wan, term-papery feel of middle school.”

    Moreover, doctor of education programs and prospective school district administrators enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship. Teachers and junior-level administrators looking for higher-paying administrative positions in the school district hierarchy provide a steady source of dollars to EdD programs.

    It’s the equivalent of staying late in high school to do extra-credit work in your Calculus class.

    Florida’s Covid-19 death rate per 100,000 population is double Washington’s.

    Now do their respective demographics, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    Washington state:

    Persons 65 years and over, percent 16.2%

    Black or African American alone, percent(a) 4.5%

    Florida:

    Persons 65 years and over, percent 21.1%

    Black or African American alone, percent(a) 17.0%

    Florida has significantly greater percentages of its population in the geriatric and comparatively unhealthy demographics, compared with Washington state, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    Florida has the second-oldest population in the country, after Maine. Washington state is 43rd.

    Everything is harder on senior citizens. Hurricane Ian’s Florida death toll was 2/3 senior citizens, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    Comparing WA to FL is silly, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. California and Washington state had similar lockdown perspectives, Democrat leadership. And CA and FL have similar latitudes and beach activity potential. Each has a Disneysomething and a thriving year-round tourist trade.

    So compare FL and CA, and look at their geriatric populations. /quality/90/?url=https://bspot-prod.bna.com/orca/api/rendition/jpg/orca271853.jpg?digest=64af6a2f69de47671fc61cf835cb523e0633071719b6eb1d39b2b0d4dba26bf9″ rel=”nofollow ugc”>There’s this table, produced by the CDC and published in Bloomberg.

    If you look at the three geriatric ranges, the ratios comparing the states’ mortality rates come out at 1.01, 0.98, and 0.95. That’s pretty fucking close, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. The older the range the better Florida did relative to California.

    California locked down its population. Florida didn’t. The most at-risk age demographics in the two states fared the same.

    Comparing WA to FL is silly. Comparing CA to FL does not help Democrats.

    So Democrats prefer silliness and, in your case, dumbfuckery.

    Then, shortly after the co-hosts began discussing potential running mates for the former vice president with ABC News correspondent Jon Karl, Goldberg began, “I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general, his wife.”

    “Joe Biden’s wife. She would never do it but, yeah, she’s a hell of a doctor. She’s an amazing doctor,” she went on, earning some scattered applause from the audience.

    The moment drew brief pauses from some of the co-hosts until Sunny Hostin responded, “She’s a teacher…
