– I am fascinated by all of the ways homeless people in the Seattle area survive despite the cities and counties not doing nearly enough. This story about people sleeping rough in SeaTac is another example. Geez.
– Please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

A straight man wouldn’t have gotten into this much trouble over repeated dereliction of duty.
Mayor Pete’s planes, trains and automobiles
Biden’s transportation secretary is terrible at his job. Would a straight man get away with it?
We’d be better off if Trump had been re-elected.
Would a straight man get away with it?
Also from bigoted asshole Chadwick Moore:
Like Obama but less gay, Pete is a smooth talker and easily charms unmarried, childless women. But his hair isn’t the only thing that’s fake — the man hasn’t got a clue. Yet thanks to his magical gay puppy dog powers, no one seems to care.
Mayor Pete’s ok to date kreepshit.. Less gay than the black guy. And he’s white to boot.
And also from Chadwick:
BREAKING: soccer is gay
kreep attacts kreep.. btw, by magical kreepshit thinking, Mayor Pete fixed the supply chain backups at the ports.. (kreepshit no longer babbles about it and heh.. the “fag” still has his job.) So judging by that track record, Mayor Pete will fix the ancient computer systems of the FAA.
@ 4
Mayor PeteInflation fixed the supply chain backups at the ports.Next we’ll be told by HA’s unserious twat that it was First Vegetable Joe Biden who developed the COVID-19 vaccine.
Here’s what G-clown knows about Mayor Pete:
If you’re a reader of The Advocate, what’s not to love about the guy? Never mind that he’s not been elected to anything more weighty than mayor of a city with a population barely over 100k (it was below that marker when he ran it).
Hey, I’m just helping to clear the field for Kamala! in 2024.
@6 – That’s Biden’s dilemma: how to get Kamala off of the 2024 ticket without causing a fuss.
Good luck with THAT one, Joe!
Inflation fixed the supply chain backups at the ports.
Oh on reduced demand?
LIAR LIAR…
And the “fag” will serve out his appointment through 2024.
it was First Vegetable Joe Biden who developed the COVID-19 vaccine.
Perhaps not but by your magical thinking Biden lowered gas prices and is moderating inflation.
If Bonzo was in office right now, what would kreepshit bleat?
HA’s unserious twat gets called out @ 4 for her false statement about port backups @ 3, and what does our precious little girl do?
Why, she responds @ 8 with a link that has absolutely nothing to do with shipping port volume or backups. Instead she looks at consumer behavior in October.
If dumb cunt YLB had any brains she’d look at ocean shipping cost escalations in mid-2022:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2022-06-23/supply-chain-latest-ocean-freight-rates-are-falling
she’d correlate it with inflation, and instead of talking about consumer spending in October 2022 she’d look at the ocean freight shipping situation in October 2022:
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/03/ocean-shipping-orders-are-signaling-a-big-drop-in-consumer-demand.html
YLB, girlfriend, spiking prices related to inflation caused ocean freight shipping demand to fall, and that’s what eased the port bottleneck. It wasn’t magic dust sprinkled over the ports by Mayor Pete.
Next time you get called on a topic, stay on that topic if you want to defend yourself. Ya dumb cunt.
Would not surprise me one bit if this was coming from the Veep’s office.
Was He or Wasn’t He? Secretary Buttigieg Tried to Have It Both Ways on Paternity Leave
Records show the Secretary couldn’t be bothered to even schedule infrastructure call with Senator
I feel badly for a man who has to get off his knees in order to, you know, do his job when his husband’s cock is dangling in front of him just waiting to be sucked. You’d think that over 12 weeks of leave, though, Chasten would need a break.
I certainly hope the twins benefitted from Mayor Pete’s dotage on the taxpayer’s dime.
I think it’s cute that y’all HA libbies wanna believe that it’s the GOP that’s tryin’ to take down Mayor Pete.
Maybe refresh yerselves with the 2020 DNC primary attacks against him.
Elmendorf is pullin’ the strings on this effort.
I heard he got on his knees to beg.
I bet none of those meetings occurred when Mayor Pete was on paternity leave.
How to get YLB interested in geopolitics.
There are more highly sensitive classified documents, of course. Hidden behind the canvas in Hunter’s art.

2-year Treasury yield spread over that of the 10-year is 72 basis points.
Tick tock.

Michael D. Brown flooded an entire US city, killed thousands, and made tens of thousands into refugees. John Ashcroft spent the entire terrorist build up to 911 searching the internet for porn. Tens of thousands died and an entire region of the globe was destabilized for the next two decades. Donald Trump ignored a rising global pandemic, rejected all the medical and public health science, and insisted that “it will just go away on its own”. A million of us have died because of him.
I guess my gaydar just isn’t what I thought it was.
Shorter 15,

I’m going to have to take the troll’s word on this one. Since I don’t regularly follow FOX, OAN, Newsmax, or Town Hall.

A great jobs report would bend the curve in the other direction, QoS McHillbilly.

Yup.

That’s just a helluva chart at 21, even if I do say so myself.
Biden Economic Miracle placed precisely alongside the Trump Ultra MAGA Republican economic collapse. And the scale of both – Biden positive and MAGA Republican negative – all but swamp the previous sixty months of data.

I might have received my last Wuhan booster.
CDC just announced increased risk for ischemic stroke in people over 65 who have received the vaccine. I’m not over 65, but I’m close enough.
If the vaccine protects from a strain that kills a bunch of people, the vaccine is worth it. If it protects against a strain that causes mild illness in most, then it’s more of a judgement call.
I read this morning that Pfizer’s update to the FDA about myocarditis risk is overdue. Hmm.
The dwindling number of voters ultra MAGA Republicans already have:
You should be publicly flogged to death.
The growing number of younger voters ultra MAGA Republicans must reach to win any nationwide election or recover the state level ground lost under Trump:
Meh.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“Social media doesn’t seem very healthy for children.”
It’s even more unhealthy for low-information, racist and bigoted, anti-mask and anti-vax, artery-clogged Republican adults.
@1 So now a government official is to blame for private-sector transportation company breakdowns?
Part of the solution here is more regulation and more government spending on transportation infrastructure improvements (e.g., replacing the FAA’s 30-year-old software), but your party is against that.
Which makes you one of the last people who should be bleating that government is to blame for private airline incompetence. Oh wait, it’s OBAMA’S FAULT THERE AREN’T ENOUGH PILOTS.
@5 Trump’s never been elected to anything at all by popular vote. To say he was “elected” you have to fall back on an undemocratic electoral system that was contrived 241 years ago to preserve slavery.
@9 Cherry-picking data, as usual. This story is a month old, but your data is 3 months old, and it does look like you’ve got some catching up to do:
“Logistics managers are sending the message to clients that the ocean freight market is correcting itself at a faster pace than anticipated. Shipping firm HLS recently wrote to clients, ‘We initially expected the market was about to correct itself and normalize some time in 2023, but it comes much earlier than we expected.’ …
“According to Freightos, despite the increase in canceled sailings which has cut vessel capacity, the hemorrhaging of ocean freight prices continues:
” – Asia-U.S. West Coast prices (FBX01 Weekly) fell 26% to $1,426/FEU. This rate is 90% lower than the same time last year.
” – Asia-U.S. East Coast prices (FBX03 Weekly) decreased 19% to $3,723/FEU, and are 78% lower than rates for this week last year.
” – Asia-N. Europe prices (FBX11 Weekly) fell 2% to $3,974/FEU, and are 73% lower than rates for this week last year.”
Gonna give Mayor Pete credit for this? Didn’t think so. But it does seem to me if you’re gonna blame him for every bad thing that happens, then to be consistent, you should also give him credit for every good thing that happens.
@10 So now cabinet secretaries don’t get to take family leave? Wasn’t your Republican president absent from the job something like 41% of the time between taking office and the 9/11/01 attacks? Cutting brush on his Texas ranch, or playing golf, and stuff like that? How about the time ex-President Trump spent playing golf? What’s the deal here? Are Democrats expected to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52.25 weeks a year? Is DOT a one-man shop, such that there was no one else the Senator could talk to while the secretary was out? Good thing you’re sticking with gas guzzlers, because otherwise, “Hey, my Tesla blew a fuse, I want to speak with Elon! Tell him to clear his calendar and take my call!” No wonder everyone around here calls you a dumbfuck, because you are one.
@12 How much money do you think the GOP House majority will appropriate to replace that 30-year-old software? Should we start an HA betting pool on this?*
* We tried this in the past, but the trolls always reneged.
@15 I can’t remember how many times the yield curve has inverted over the last couple years, and it never means diddlysquat. Will this time be different? How do you know?
I’m not saying people should run out and buy stocks. What you shouldn’t buy right now is anything that depends on the Treasury paying its bills. That includes short-term Treasuries. Maybe the looming debt ceiling has something to do with this yield inversion?
Ya think?
@17 With all due respect, I think you’re looking at the wrong news item. Take a look-see at this one:
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/13/us-will-hit-its-debt-limit-thursday-start-taking-steps-to-avoid-default-yellen-warns-congress.html
Does any serious person believe for a moment the Arson Wing of the Wrecking Ball Party isn’t going to burn the economy down if they can? The only question is whether there are enough votes to stop them.
Bob is gay and a fucking horse sucking Neanderthal.
@18 I think most of us probably do believe the GOP is trying to take down Mayor Pete. As for their motive, that’s obvious: They’re skeered of him. Compared with Trump or DeSantis he’s a model of calm rationality, and only 43% of America’s voters are kneejerk crazies.
@19 You’re looking at the wrong news story, too. What would bend the yield curve back is a gunfight in the GOP House cloakroom with only 211 survivors. Now that they’ve removed the metal detectors, this is a possibility.

@25 By your reasoning, skydivers shouldn’t wear parachutes because they might not open.
32,
Republicans could possibly get legislation out of committee.
But not without Lauren Boebert attaching an amendment during markup that cuts Sec. Buttigieg’s salary to zero and moves DOT offices to the back of a teriyaki store in a strip mall in Grand Junction.
Then while it’s going through debate by the committee of the whole Paul Gosar will attach another amendment making Trump Airlines the only commercial airline available for official Congressional travel.
George Santos will make a brief floor speech in which he tells about his recent past employment as a commercial airline pilot with TWA after having trained as a jet fighter pilot in WWII. Then all 222 ultra MAGA Republicans will rise to their feet in unison and vote in favor of passage.
The Senate Rules committee will refuse to calendar the bill.
anyone care to add up the cost to deal with this normalized disease?
https://midmichigannow.com/news/local/police-man-shoots-wife-then-turns-gun-on-himself-in-davison
I mean there are cops trying to protect women from the HN STD, or investigating and arresting IT. Then there are the courts. Then there are the jails. Hetero Neanderthals really costing this country a lot.
Maybe the looming debt ceiling has something to do with this yield inversion?
Of course it does. If I had to guess I’d suggest that between Dark Brandon, Yellen, and Powell, they’ll use even more “extraordinary” measures.
The Secretary may mint and issue platinum bullion coins and proof platinum coins in accordance with such specifications, designs, varieties, quantities, denominations, and inscriptions as the Secretary, in the Secretary’s discretion, may prescribe from time to time.
1. Mint it.
2. Deposit it.
3. Spend it.
4. Laugh hysterically at Rick Scott’s impotent rage.
@44 All the Bitcoin-owing GOP congressmen will complain that’s “not real money.”
@44 Kinda surprising Doctor Dumbfuck doesn’t realize there’s an added risk premium in short-term Treasury yields right now. The only explanation for that oversight I can think of is he’s a dumbfuck.
Mayor Pete would eat them up. Win or lose, it would be fun to watch him run circles around thier bulshit, and if nothing else show everyone their true spirit of bigotry. I look forward to it.
They are sceered!
46,
The risk being weighed tho.
On the one hand, Brave Kevin is allowed to confirm what he has already amply demonstrated to global markets – that he is powerless and ineffective at harnessing the Ultra MAGA base in his caucus. Treasury defaults. Global financial nuclear winter follows quickly thereafter.
Or Dark Brandon chooses the obvious lesser evil and mints the coin, as provided by (serendipitously stupid) law. Markets survive, inflationary pressures persist into election year.
The other third option, the one where House ultra MAGA Republicans allow a clean debt ceiling to reach the floor, was used last Saturday to wipe Matt Gaetz’s jizz off Brave Kevin’s face following the late night FREEDUMB CAUCUS bukkake party.
It’s default or Mint the Coin. Not a hard call IMHO.
I just learned that the term “Top Secret” is less serious than it was last summer.
Who knew?
The US Army is spending $62,000,000 on re-naming Army posts while the national debt is in excess of $31,000,000,000,000.
Their priorities are misplaced.
Friday afternoon before a three-day weekend. Yup.
@ 41
@25 By your reasoning, skydivers shouldn’t wear parachutes because they might not open.
No, dumbfuck. Your analogy implies that exposure of an unvaccinated person to The Wuhan results in 100% fatality.
Your analogy implies that vaccination reduces the incidence of fatality to zero.
Neither of these are accurate, and the former is nowhere near accurate.
That’s the type of idiocy that will come from Kamala’s mouth when she hits the campaign trail, only to be savaged by her own unlikableness.
The number of times Trump voluntarily notified NARA that he had discovered possibly classified materials in the damp basement of his private Florida sex club before or after a three day weekend, two day weekend, weekday, or leap year:

Cherry-picking data, as usual. This story is a month old, but your data is 3 months old,

@48 I’m not selling all my stocks just yet, but I’m looking forward to some potentially spectacular buying opportunities this summer.
@50 We’re the only country that names its military bases after our enemies. $62 mil seems like a small price to pay to put that bullshit behind us. My only regret about the renamings is that they didn’t name Fort Benning after Sgt. Alwyn Cashe. At least they finally got around to awarding him one of the most deserved Medals of Honor in American history.
As a sidebar, how much public money — in today’s dollars — did the southern racists spend in the early 1900s putting up monuments to those said enemies, that we’re now spending money to tear down?
P.S., what else can you do with that $62 mil? These days it doesn’t even buy one jet fighter.
@52 Here’s what you have your panties twisted up about:
“Of about 550,000 seniors who got Pfizer bivalent boosters and were tracked by the VSD, 130 had strokes in the three weeks after the shot, according to a CDC official …. None of the 130 people died.”
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/13/health/pfizer-bivalent-booster-safety-cdc/index.html
Now let’s assume those 550,000 seniors don’t get the shots, and 1% of them die from Covid. That’s 5,500 dead seniors.
5,500 is more than none.
Even after your brilliant (for you) flash of reasoning @52, you’re still a dumbfuck. And all the more remarkably so because you pretend to be a doctor.
@54 Well, I hope I did a service by bringing you up to date. Now you know not to invest in cargo container futures.
@55 That was certainly true in the 1960s and 1970s when J. Edgar’s gumshoes were conducting domestic espionage of civil rights and antiwar protesters, wiretapping without court orders, and breaking into people’s homes and offices, again without court orders.
The FBI, under new management, is a better organization now. See @56 for its current mission statement.
@59 I’m surprised you don’t think Oregon State troopers are more dangerous if you pull a gun on them.
With a total population of 1/2million and major automakers announcements of halting production of Internal combustion vehicles…
How are people going to feel about all the closed dealerships and having to drive from Helena to Idaho Falls to pick up that new electric F-150 someday.
.02% of seniors in the survey had a stroke within 3 weeks of booster which is quite a bit in line with how many seniors would have a stroke three weeks from their birthday, anniversary, kids’ birthday, Armistice day, pride month, Kwaansaa, stubbing a toe on the wastebasket…
