Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 10/21/22, 8:07 am

A little drizzle and wind, and you can breathe again in Downtown Seattle. It’s maybe a bit hazy, but it’s nice. Greater rain will get the rest of it.

Going forward, we’ll have to figure out how to not make this a yearly thing. Better forestry practices and fixing — or realisticly preventing the worst of — global warming are obviously priorities. Also, maybe building code updates so less smoke gets inside.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Seriously, the bivalent booster is a miracle.

    I suggest people stop talking about whatever it is the troll wants to talk about. Talk about what he doesn’t want to discuss…

    Their violent 1/6 insurrection intended to end our democracy.
    Their ongoing slo-mo coup attempt to end our democracy.
    Their rabid desire to completely re-write our Constitution.
    Steve Bannon pushing right-wing plot to radically rewrite the Constitution as soon as next year.
    Their leader’s theft of our nation’s Top Secret documents.

    Don’t play their fucking game anymore.

    I left one out yesterday.

    The low IQ traitor’s response? He posted a stupid poll and called me the nation’s enemy. Am I his enemy? Damn straight I am. I want him fucking dead.

    The troll is a fucking coward. He won’t discuss these issues because he is utterly lacking the courage of his convictions. If he had any courage what so fucking ever he would admit that he wants democracy in America to die, killed by Republicans who intend that our democracy be replaced by totalitarian fascist rule.

    Don’t play his stupid fucking game.

    Once again Steve is absolutely 100% correct.

    Republicans now see their paths to power running directly through the weakening and destruction of democracy itself. And they now rejoice in that weakening and destruction.

    Protecting the future of American democracy demands the destruction Republicans as a political institution. Every loyal American has a choice and a duty.

    Democrats might consider spending less time worrying about their perceived need to protect democracy and more time worrying about their all-to-real need to protect their women from their men. ’cause YLB clearly is unable to protect herself.

    The campaign manager for former Democratic Florida Rep. Charlie Crist’s bid to unseat incumbent Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appears to have been arrested in Maryland this week, before the campaign said he would leave to handle a “family matter.”

    Austin Durrer, who has worked for Crist since 2016, was arrested Tuesday in Cambridge, Maryland, on second-degree assault charges in a case classified as “domestic violence
    ,” according to Dorchester County court records obtained by Fox News Digital. Durrer was released on $10,000 bond after his arrest, and the court ordered him to surrender firearms and vacate his home.

    Durrer’s trial is slated for Dec. 7. Based on the charges in the case, he faces up to 10 years’ imprisonment.

    The US is not a democracy. She is a constitutional federal republic.

    The Democrats’ chances of holding the US Senate have declined from 60% to 57% in a little more than 24 hours, if 538 be believed.

    Yabbut not everyone in Florida has power back on.

    Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis is on track for re-election, leading Democrat challenger Charlie Crist by 11 percentage points in the latest Florida Atlantic University poll.

    The poll comes off of solid approval ratings, particularly for DeSantis’ response to Hurricane Ian. DeSantis leads Crist 51-40% in the survey conducted of registered voters by the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative.

    The Republican incumbent’s approval rating was 53%, with his response to the hurricane garnering 63% approval. Nearly 67% of respondents expect DeSantis to be reelected, as well.

    Since it’s a RV poll, in reality 2024 President-elect Ron DeSantis is actually up 15 points.

    Take these two statements:

    a silent wish that Steve Bannon is repeatedly raped while in prison.

    and

    The US is not a democracy. She is a constitutional federal republic.

    Uhhh.. Lord Kreepshit is completely on board w/ Bannon and its agenda and that of other repukes like little ricky man-on-dog..

    Article V of the Constitution sets out two ways to revise the founding document, and all 27 amendments so far have been approved by two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate and then ratified by three-quarters of the states, but Meckler and other right-wing activists want to choose the other route and have two-thirds of all 50 state legislatures call a constitutional convention of their own.

    “This is something that can happen very quickly,” said Rick Santorum, a former GOP senator who advises Meckler’s group. “We are a lot further along than people think.”

    ergo.. lord kreepshit has a secret desire to be ass raped in the joint..

    heh..
