    The motion alleges Durkan, former Police Chief Carmen Best, Fire Chief Harold Scoggins and several other Seattle officials intentionally deleted thousands of text messages “well after this case began and in blatant disregard of their duties as public officials to preserve their texts.”

    Don’t delete your text messages if you’re a government official.

    Definitely not. Instead, if you’re a Clinton crony, merely wait until the FBI signs an agreement you to destroy your BlackBerry and laptop devices rather than producing them for inspection.

    It’s not like they are going to get affordable insurance without government socialism.

    Section 8: It’s not like they are going to get affordable housing without government socialism.

    WIC: It’s not like they are going to be able to feed their children without government socialism.

    FICA: It’s not like they are going to be able to feed, shelter, and clothe themselves without government socialism.

    Pell: It’s not like they are going to be able to afford post-secondary education without government socialism.

    The deleted texts were recreated forensically, and show that Durkan initially referred to the Durkan Kill Zone events as a “Summer of Thug”.

    Question for QoS McHillbilly:

    If the original PLF suit was so badly flawed,

    • Why did the administration limit eligibility for the free money handout such that 800,000 Americans would be frozen out from the orgy at taxpayer expense?

    • Why did the judge toss the case back to PLF and tell it to re-argue the standing issue after the administration’s eligibility change?

    ’cause on the surface it seems that the PLF had sufficient standing to scare the administration into fucking over 800,000 Americans after promising them free shit.

    Recall that I understood and agreed with your comments WRT this case earlier in the week.

  10. 10

    This is how a cowardly POS conveys to 800,000 Americans the fact that the Biden administration fucked them over without having the decency to tell them to their faces:

    “In the face of Republican attacks, we understand the White House is prioritizing processing for loans that are publicly held through the Department of Education, which will cover the majority of borrowers, and we appreciate the administration’s transparency in working to ensure that the relief will actually reach the people who need it.”

    — Rep. Pramila Jayapal, in a statement

    The @gop is LITERALLY against all of those things AND disaster relief. Until DiSantis needs federal, and I mean DiSperate for federal funds. That guy who hates Florida acting all ‘Love you neighbor…

    Did you think you could dunk? Hahahahahaha….no.

  12. 12

    @ 10

    Jayapal should have written “… the majority of borrowers who weren’t stupid enough to pay off their loans as promised…”.

    Anyone who invests in any company that makes or processes student loans is a fool. All a borrower has to do is wait for the next unhinged liberal administration to do an end-around on Congress and tell them that reneging on their loan agreement is A-OK.

    Nothing to see here. Just a Democrat, former congressman sentenced to federal prison for committing election fraud.

    Former U.S. Congressman and Philadelphia Political Operative Sentenced to 30 Months in Prison for Election Fraud

    In June 2022, the defendant admitted in court to bribing the Judge of Elections for the 39th Ward, 36th Division in South Philadelphia in a fraudulent scheme over several years. Myers admitted to bribing the election official to illegally add votes for certain candidates of their mutual political party in primary elections. Some of these candidates were individuals running for judicial office whose campaigns had hired Myers, and others were candidates for various federal, state, and local elective offices that Myers favored for a variety of reasons. Myers would solicit payments from his clients in the form of cash or checks as “consulting fees,” and then use portions of these funds to pay election officials to tamper with election results.

    Myers also admitted to conspiring to commit election fraud with another former Judge of Elections for the 39th Ward, 2nd Division in South Philadelphia. Myers’ accomplice was the de facto Judge of Elections and effectively ran the polling places in her division by installing close associates to serve as members of the Board of Elections. Myers admitted that he gave his accomplice directions to add votes to candidates supported by him, including candidates for judicial office whose campaigns actually hired Myers, and other candidates for various federal, state, and local elective offices preferred by Myers for a variety of reasons.

    Blah blah blah conspiracy blah blah blah bribery blah blah blah electronically stuffing ballot boxes.

    Nah. Nothing to see here.

    Goldy’s correct. The “jump” is Bidenflation, which is even higher this month than last month, and will worsen further when gasoline prices begin to rise later this Fall.

    The minimum wage is merely being dragged upward.

    @GoldyHA
    To be perfectly accurate, WA’s hourly minimum wage will neither “rise” nor “increase” nor “jump.” This is a cost of living adjustment that will hold the real dollar value of the min wage steady. To fail to make such an adjustment (eg the fed min) would be to lower the wage.

    The Kent County prosecutor has charged an election worker with two felonies for allegedly tampering with a computer used in the August primary.

    James Donald Holkeboer, who registered with the county as a Republican, was a first-time election worker, according to clerk’s office records. Election workers are everyday citizens trained and certified by clerks to work the precincts and absentee counting boards on Election Day, the Kent County clerk said.

    Holkeboer is accused of inserting a personal USB drive into a precinct computer after polls closed on primary election day.

    Sept 28 (Reuters) – An election worker in a western Michigan town has been charged with two felonies after allegedly inserting a flash drive into a computer containing confidential voter registration data during an election in August, local officials said on Wednesday.

    29 – Here’s a clue dimwit: ALL Democrats and ALL Republicans are evil. Stop being a dumb-shit hypocrite.

    Biden wants to forgive student loans to buy votes for 2022 and 2024. Instead of fleecing the working class, yet again, to pay for his attempt to buy votes, why not seize half of the top 100 colleges’ and universities’ endowment funds? Harvard, for example, has $53 BILLION in its endowment fund.

    These colleges and universities have been the biggest beneficiaries of the student loan program and have inflated fees and tuitions exponentially to feed at the “Trough of Government Handouts and Free Stuff.” Now, the Democrats think the plumbers, electricians, carpenters and other trades should be on the hook for this nationwide fraud campaign. Harvard has more than enough money, and so do all of the rest of those institutions. They should pay up and shut the fuck up.

    What’s a little inflation in the grand scheme of things? I mean, inflation is what raises wages, amirite?

    Fed’s preferred gauge shows inflation accelerated even more than expected in August

    Core inflation rose 4.9% from a year ago in August and 0.6% on a monthly basis, according to a measure the Federal Reserve watches closely.
    Personal income rose 0.3%, the same as July and in line with the estimate. Spending rose 0.4% after declining 0.2% the month before.
    Headline inflation, including food and energy, also accelerated, despite a sharp drop in gasoline prices.

    Now, it was just yesterday that HA’s dumbest twat shared that “smart pundits” think that the Fed will have to take its foot off the interest rate gas pedal after seeing early evidence that the economy is about to slide into the shitter.

    The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy rose 0.6% for the month after being flat in July. That was faster than the 0.5% Dow Jones estimate and another indication that inflation is broadening.

    Not so fast, YLB. Not so fast. The Fed does, in fact, have a choice.

    @9 “on the surface it seems that the PLF had sufficient standing”

    PLF’s suit was dismissed on a technicality. You can’t sue to overturn a government policy just because you don’t like the policy. To have standing to sue, you must suffer a harm from the policy. Standing in that case was based on their client allegedly suffering a harm because he’d have to pay California state income taxes on the value of his forgiven loans. The Biden administration then clarified that loan forgiveness is voluntary and he could avoid those taxes by paying his loans. This removed the element of harm and the basis for his lawsuit. The result is PLF now must shop for some other excuse to challenge a policy it doesn’t like.

  48. 48

    @ 47

    PLF’s suit was dismissed on a technicality.

    Wrong. The suit still stands; the plaintiff was granted time to amend the complaint.

    Plaintiff has orally moved for leave to amend his complaint. That request is
    GRANTED, and Plaintiff will have until October 10, 2022, to file an amended
    complaint.

    Standing in that case was based on their client allegedly suffering a harm because he’d have to pay California state income taxes on the value of his forgiven loans.

    Why? He’s an Indiana resident. You are wrong, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    1. Whether he (and any additional plaintiffs) have standing. Particularly, whether
    their injury is caused by and fairly traceable to the debt relief program or to the
    Indiana Tax Code. See Segovia v. United States, 880 F.3d 384, 388–89 (7th
    Cir. 2018).

    The Biden administration then clarified that loan forgiveness is voluntary and he could avoid those taxes by paying his loans.

    Not correct. The plaintiff had a loan subject to automatic forgiveness, which would trigger a tax by his state. The change – a change is different from a “clarification” – in the program by the administration permits him to opt out of automatic forgiveness.

    2. Whether the Department of Education has taken sufficient action for the case
    to be ripe for adjudication. Plaintiff’s allegations speculate about the terms of
    the program. But as evidenced by the Government’s recent addition of an optout provision, the plan is still evolving.

    Confidential to The Even Bigger Fucking Moron:

    H.R. 7272: Feed Hungry Veterans Act of 2022

    To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to expand the eligibility of disabled veterans to receive supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits.

    Introduced by a Democrat in March. 17 Cosponsors (16 Democrats, 1 Republican)

    Never made it out of committee. A Democrat-controlled committee.

    This bill would have expanded SNAP benefits without requiring a new office in the VA to be created.

    The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, why do Democrats hate disabled veterans?

  55. 55

    Since we’re talking about food insecurity among veterans, it’s worthwhile to note that the incidence of food insecurity in veterans vs the general population, after accounting for (whatever these might be) differences in behaviors, is all of 7%.

    Too drunk to get up for breakfast isn’t food insecurity. It’s Deathfrogg’s typical workday.

    The number you are looking for is 10.7%, not 17%.

    If vets are 7% more likely to have food insecurity, you multiply 10 by 1.07 (unless you first subtract the number of vets from the base figure, but I digress) to come up with the percent of veterans. You don’t add 7% to the 10% figure in order to claim that it’s 17%.

    the Fed will have to take its foot off the interest rate gas pedal after seeing early evidence that the economy is about to slide into the shitter.

    the gas pedal… interesting that kreespshit thinks what Volker did – forcing interest rates up which in turn forced two recessions and a worldwide sovereign debt crisis is putting the foot on the gas..

    When kreepshit voted for Carter after the REAL “miracle on ice”, Treasury debt was 30 percent of US GDP.

    Today its 125 percent. Kreepshit is still living in the days when it got fucked in the ass by its klownservabros while dreaming of “20 minutes of action”.

    Not so fast, YLB. Not so fast. The Fed does, in fact, have a choice.

    Yeah the Fed can make the kreepshit play: it can force a depression that’s guaranfuckinteed to be global. People who have no jobs can’t buy goods with inflating prices which of course means runaway deflation – something we haven’t seen in huge amounts since the 1930’s. The kreepshit play means banks can continue holding sovereign debt bonds with a negative yield. A rising yield on treasury debt means interest on the debt exceeding the cost of all the Mary Kays and aging out repukes’ SS checks and playing chicken with default.

    Or the Fed can do the right thing intentionally or by accident: let inflation run hot until the us gdp to debt ratio is in a better place..

    It can go further.. It can run the balance sheet up until all the low hanging fruit is harvested: nuclear power and renewables, grid upgrade, education program, industrial/tech on shoring, revamped defense supply chain, improved infrastructure like light and high speed rail. All that means lotsa jobs and plenty of government revenues.. Did I once mention family cash support? Some more would be nice but not much more would be needed.

    Inflation running hot means the house I just re-fied with a 30 year fixed I get for free.

    Someone in my family just got a 20 percent raise over the next two years. Cool stuff like that will continue even if the Fed does the right thing by accident which is likely.
