Friday Open Thread

by — ,

Dear Bob Ferguson,

Congratulations on your victory this week. I am writing to ask you to stand up to Donald Trump in his second term. I appreciate the way you did that as Attorney General, but I fear the pressure will be different as governor. There will be pressure and potentially a lot of money from the Federal government. And those resources could be used to build a better Washington. I am also worried that you didn’t do much to deal with the sort of problems that made Donald Trump more attractive when you were on the King County Council. I don’t know where this is going, except to say don’t give in and don’t make the not giving in the only thing you do.

XOXO

Carl Ballard

    It’s simply unconscionable that Americans chose a healthier economy over a woman’s right to order an elective dismemberment abortion of her child in his 39th week of gestation because her tarot card reader doesn’t think he will grow up to be trans.

  4. 4

    Oh look what the magats have wrought:

    The White House condemned the wave of racist text messages that have been sent to Black people across the country, summoning them to report for slavery. The F.B.I. and state law enforcement officials are investigating the messages, which have been received by students in at least nine states…

    and

    Only the beginning.. “fine” people indeed…

    Finally my pets will be safe.

    And your filthy pickaninny trans kids will not.

    Oh it’s too “good”.. from the AP link above:

    Tasha Dunham of Lodi, California, said her 16-year-old daughter showed her one of the messages Wednesday evening before her basketball practice.

    The text not only used her daughter’s name, but it directed her to report to a “plantation” in North Carolina, where Dunham said they’ve never lived. When they looked up the address, it was the location of a museum…

    About six middle school students in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, received the messages too, said Megan Shafer, acting superintendent of the Lower Merion School District.

    “The racist nature of these text messages is extremely disturbing, made even more so by the fact that children have been targeted,” she wrote in a letter to parents.

    acsw, please excuse Cathy Justice if she sends therapy dogs (on the public dime, on some klownservatic donor’s, whatever) to comfort stressed out kids.. you know what I’m talking about amirite???

    Good news! Harris didn’t underperform everywhere:

    Harris lost voters under $50,000 in household income as well as voters from $50,000 to $100,000 in income. But she did carry voters with over $100,000 in household by 8 points, one place where Harris did improve over Biden in 2020.

    Boxcheck Momala took 50% of my household’s vote.

    It’s no fun being an illegal alien.

    It should be comforting to libbies to know that WRT illegal immigrants flooding our southern borders and consuming precious resources in our communities, come January the White House and Congress will finally be on the same page.

    a woman’s right

    States’ rights. Just as the Constitution intended.

    I’m pleased that you and I can celebrate the election outcome together, Welfare Queen YLB.

  11. 11

    Nebraska will enshrine in its constitution a ban on abortions during the second and third trimesters. Which is, essentially, the Roe decision described differently.

    Since libbies wanted Roe to be codified nationwide, they should celebrate the decision of Nebraska’s sage electorate, amirite?

  12. 12

    Not my words, but appropriate, nonetheless:

    The Garbage took out the trash.

  14. 14

    First! White House Chief of Staff! Ever!

    Something Welfare Queen YLB and her sisters across this great nation can celebrate as they seek to embrace @ 8 the good that came from this election season.

  16. 16

    that WRT illegal immigrants

    Nope, asylum seekers are legal.. otherwise arrest reptile in risers and that TexASS jerk for trafficking “illegals” to NYC on the public dime.

    Woulda put a cap on that, but drumpf said no..

  17. 17

    @ 16

    Nope, asylum seekers are legal..

    Welfare Queen YLB has yet to face the reasons for the second Trump presidency, I see.

    Nebraska will enshrine in its constitution a ban on abortions during the second and third trimesters. >

    Still means a woman running a gauntlet so she won’t die in the 2nd/3rd trimesters.

    And if a few slip through? Shit happens..

    FREEDUMB!

    @17 And acsw can’t handle facts.. There was a bill, a reform that low-life drumpf vetoed.

    From its sex club in FL.., not the White House.

    the reasons for the second Trump presidency

    Repuke degenerates trafficking “illegals” to NYC.. Coyotes Shitstain Abbott and DEE-Santis.

    Bathe in it, fan boi acsw..

    When the front loading of profits in anticipation of tariffs drives up food prices this holiday season we can always eat minorities and illegals.

    Do you prefer dark meat? Or even darker?

  23. 23

    One thing I’m sure of, if four years from now we still have hoards of grubby beaners invading us across our southern borders I’ll never vote for another Republican.

    That’s the one thing they have to fix or they will never be forgiven by guys like me.

  24. 24

    the reasons for the second Trump presidency

    low turnout in a polarized electorate.. add in the antiquated electoral college.. shit happened.

    Qatar has notified Hamas Officials staying in the Country, that they are no longer welcome and must immediately make preparations to depart.

    A projection of strength from the White House has begun well in advance of the inauguration. Putin and Xi notice it, too.

  26. 26

    93 promises drumpf made on video aka forget project 2025:

    https://meidasnews.com/video/trumps-93-campaign-promises

    These jump out at me:

    7. Cut the corporate tax rate. (uhh.. sorry acsw NEW TAX CUT)

    8. No cuts in benefits or changes in Social Security retirement age. (sorry acsw, another fantasy turns to shit, no scrap the cap though)

    9. The federal budget will be cut by 33%. (how? like in bonzo’s daze WITH MIRRORS)

    And that’s the tame stuff.. Now for the good stuff:

    13. All migrants, including those with pending asylum claims, will be taken into custody and deported immediately by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

    14. Birthright citizenship will be ended by executive order. All persons who were born in the US to migrant parents will have their citizenship revoked and will be deported immediately.

    15. Border will be closed with no migrants entering the US by moving thousands of US troops from overseas to be stationed on the southern border.

    And the really krazy shit..

    55. Bible study will be instituted in public schools.

    56. School prayer will be instituted in public schools.

    and of course..

    26. Send astronauts to Mars. (Praise be to “genius” Elmo)..

    That’s just a taste.. It’s so fucking insane it’s not funny any more.

    I have every confidence project 2025 will be worked in there somehow..

  27. 27

    26,
    Just bear in mind that Fat Hitler doesn’t have to actually do any of that shit.

    Did he ever actually build a successful casino business?
    Did he ever actally develop and launch a highly successful consumer products brand?
    Did he ever actually pass a cognitive test?
    Did he even ever actually grab pussies and get away with it?

    What Fat Hitler must do is create theater around enough of these false promises to convice his moronic supporters to stick with him and sustain their cult fervor. And that won’t be terribly difficult because as full-on believers they have a powerful internal need to ratify and sustain their own belief.

  28. 28

    @27 He could die tomorrow, yes.. Early in its new term would suffice only to have jdb take over..

    then it’s gubmint’ by breeder happy crypto bro.. with Leonard Leo as consligiere.. now that’s a nightmare..

    @ 22

    When the front loading of profits in anticipation of tariffs drives up food prices this holiday season …

    So you’re suggesting the US imports its Thanksgiving turkeys from China?

    And yet Team Biden still allows one of them into the White House? Wouldn’t you think Democrats would learn something from the Fang Fang/Swalwell episode?

  30. 30

    It was a politically motivated prosecution, it failed, and to perpetuate it risk disclosure of items Garland and Smith don’t want to see the light of day.

    Judge hits pause on Trump’s election interference criminal case
    The prosecutor said he would notify the court in December about how he plans to move forward, likely the first step in unwinding the case against Trump.

    If for no other reason, the link is worth clicking in order to hear a black commenter talk about Republicans going ape.

  35. 35

    It was a politically motivated prosecution,

    If say, Bill Clinton, stored critical national secrets revealing sources and methods in a sex club toilet, no politics, just treason..

    yawnn..

  36. 36

    So you’re suggesting the US imports its Thanksgiving turkeys from China?

    I like to go shopping at the local Asian stores.. the family store on N. Aurora, 99 Ranch in Edmonds..

    I like preparing the recipes plastered all over youtube.

    Maybe a quarter to half the stuff in the stores are made here.

    A lot is imported, especially the non-food items, dishes, cookware, stuff like that. And drumpf wants to raise prices on all of it.

    Prices are great at those stores.. now.. Never buy a wok at Amazon. You’ll pay a quarter of that price at an Asian market. Never buy the butane fuel in a can for a tabletop stove at Amazon. Ditto.

    What a fiasco is that tariff shit in the making.

    Talking about hating Asians, acsw..

  37. 37

    Has any SCOTUS nominee ever failed a bar exam?

    Plenty of the lesser (aborted nother!) types didn’t know shit from shinola:

    On December 13, 2017, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee[233][234] Senator John Neely Kennedy (R-LA) questioned Petersen about legal procedure,[235] asking if Petersen knew what the Daubert standard was, and what a motion in limine was. He was unable to answer.[236][237] Petersen’s answers received criticism in the press and from lawmakers. The New York Times described it as one of the “more painful Senate hearings in recent memory.”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_judicial_appointment_controversies

    Where was the Federalist Society when drumpf needed it? Oh yeah.. drumpf is not on speaking terms with Leo, last I heard.

    Because 10 weeks is plenty of time to make nice with Sinema and Manchin

    No boo boo a cash poultice can’t soothe instantly.

  39. 39

    He forgot the 3-to-1 outspending ratio.

    A former Biden staffer dismissed the Harris team’s criticisms as making excuses for the vice president’s failures: “How did you spend $1 billion and not win? What the f***?”

    What was it to Lizzo? $2.3 million for a few minutes at the podium?

    The tell-all books Democrats will release in the coming 12-18 months are gonna be delicious.

    36,

    Last I checked both Canada and Mexico were foreign countries facing stupid Trump tariffs.

    Both are significant exporters of food to the US markets. Chances are half of all that greasey ham and the bacon the dumbshit troll gobbles down comes from Canada. And yes, plenty of turkey. A metric shit ton of the feed used to raise any animal, including his stupid, brainless, bottomless food-pit horses, comes from either Mexico or Canada. These are commodities. He knows this. Trump jacks import duties on these products and domestic producers will hike their prices to nearly match. That’s how it works.

    And it isn’t as if the actual animals or their feeds are the only inputs. Fertilizers, supplements, machinery, parts, and of course labor can all now be expected to become much more expensive some time after Jan 20th of next year. Every distributor of everything you can think of is preparing price increases, not just in anticipation of those higher costs next year, but in anticipation of steep competition for supply right now as they all try to front load as much supply input now ahead of the fucking dumbness they know will soon follow. My neighbor doing a gut remodel on his whole house just got an email from his flooring contractor telling him to prepare for a 25% increase. I laughed in his fucking face when he told me. He didn’t bother to vote.

  41. 41

    @40 Well there’s NAFTA to consider for North America but everything else outside of all current trade agreements is fair game sure.

  43. 43

    Ya know acsw believes the YUGE settlements paid by Faux Snooze and O’Reilly for boorish behavior..

    acsw believes that was munee well spent..

    for the cause..

    of klownservatic workplace.. traditions.. and constitutional even..

    time honored by generations of frat bois.. legacy admissions…

    It’s a good thing drumpf’s COS is as mature as she is.. not exactly drumpf’s taste for p***y grabbing.. scotus sez it can do as it pleases.. make it “official” donnie..

    watching donnie grouse at COS.. “why can’t ya hire anyone younger? It’s a desert in this dump!”

    When your daughter has a miscarriage and ends up with sepsis because she can’t get the care she needs – don’t worry, the gas you need to get to her funeral in your Hummer should be super cheap.

    Sounds like a whore. Probably impregnated by her drug dealing pimp. I’ll pass on the funeral.

    A majority of voters preferred the GOP candidates to the disastrous duo of Boxcheck Momala and Cut and Run Walz.

    Democrats made a historically awful selection of candidates.

    Dumb cunt government employee alert:

    EXCLUSIVE: FEMA Official Ordered Relief Workers To Skip Houses With Trump Signs

    Only a dumb cunt would put it in writing.

    A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.

    The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”

    C’mon, Goldy. HA is no longer a current name for this blog – it’s so 2005. You should rename it for Marn’i Washington and for HA’s unserious twat, Welfare Queen YLB.

    Libbies who insist on doing @ 48 such stupid shit should at least not be dumbcunt enough to do it in Florida while DeSantis is running things:

    Ron DeSantis
    @GovRonDeSantis

    The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days.

    At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump.

    New leadership is on the way in DC, and I’m optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired.

    That would be the Florida that accurately counted about 10.5 million votes in three hours on Tuesday night.

  52. 52

    Notice ass cheeks spread wide never misses an opportunity to spew “cunt” and “twat”..

    Nancy Pelosi to the NYT: “had the president [Biden] gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race.”

    “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary. “

    “And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward. But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different”
    11:25 AM · Nov 8, 2024

    The Obamas waited until people were openly talking about their missing endorsement. They knew Boxcheck Momala is a terrible candidate. They knew what happened with the last female terrible candidate the DNC attempted to make president.
