If you were wondering “what’s up with those outlines of people around Seattle?” well here you go. Dead pedestrians. My primary means of getting around the city is walking, and I’ve noticed a few. I hope drivers see them too.

Some of the smaller towns and cities around WA are considering allowing marijuana to be sold in their jurisdictions. Sounds like a good idea to me. Why let those other towns get the revenues from cannabis sales?
Just remember to not use cannabis and drive. It’s easier to stay home and stay stoned versus taking it on the road.
Dead pedestrians or Walking Dead? I wonder how many were glued to their phones.
@ 2
Yeah, bad things can happen to you when you’re walking around with a cell phone stuck to your head and no fucking idea what is happening around you. Just ask Jesse Hagopian.
Stupidity should be painful.
@3 Yeah, cellphones, cops, and walking while black don’t mix.

Obama-appointed federal judge finds Obama administration overstepped its authority.
Wouldn’t be the first time that has happened.
Clinton is approaching a 2 million vote and 1.5% lead in the popular vote, but Drumpf will be president anyway, thanks to the overrepresentation that underpopulated states enjoy under the electoral college system.
The elector system was created to preserve slavery. It’s now useless for that purpose, but still might be useful as a “circuit breaker” to prevent an unqualified person or dangerous demagogue from getting access to the powers of the presidency.
The electors now have a golden opportunity to justify their existence.
@6 Boob’s love of low wages (for other people) is palpable.

(((Goldy))) @GoldyHA
Hey @realDonaldTrump: How do you feel about a lone judge in TX rewriting 75 years of labor law to deny 12 million Americans overtime pay?
My guess is probably not as good as you feel when a lone judge somewhere decides to rewrite the Second Amendment.
Although admittedly, that’s just a guess.
“Stupidity should be painful.”
I see that you’re still stupidly ragging on about a black man, Jesse Hagopian, who did absolutely nothing wrong, deserving to to be pepper sprayed by a stupid, overzealous cop. Now you, in yet another fit of stupidity, say he deserved pain for being stupid. That’s one of the things stupid white racists like you do, Doctor. You stupidly frame stories using your stupid lies of omission to make the stupid case that innocent black males deserve whatever bad things happen to them through the actions of stupid white cops.
@ 11
If you want to call walking through a police action zone while talking on the phone and being completely disconnected from everything going on around him doing absolutely nothing wrong, Steve, then I guess you are free to do that.
I’d call it contributory negligence on Hagopian’s part.
Hell, Goldy called it intentional police targeting of a civilian. Until the video came out, that is.
If Hagopian were white, Steve, it would be equally negligent and stupid.
Yes, the cop behaved inappropriately. Doesn’t absolve Hagopian from his inattentiveness. Not one bit.
I bet next time he’s walking through a police action zone, he’s more aware of what goes on around him.
Was it racist, Steve, that an older white woman (wool cap in that video) was sprayed along with Hagopian? How about all of those other caucasian-looking people who caught spray?
All you’ve got is a hammer, Steve. Everything looks like a nail.
What are all the kids saying these days? Oh, yes, that’s right:
Sad!
Clinton now leads Trump by over 2 million votes and 1.5% of the popular vote, and it looks like her lead could expand to 2.5 million and 2%, which would mean the polls were well within the margin of error.
Trump’s electoral vote margin came from Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Right now, I believe he actually won these states. However, he carried all three of these states by small margins, and I’m curious whether Russia somehow tampered with the vote counting, i.e., whether it’s possible that Putin, not the American people or even the electoral vote system, chose Trump to be president.
If investigation were to establish, as a solid fact, that Putin’s hackers did indeed change the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, I wonder how our Republican friends would react to that? Would they acknowledge that Clinton won and is the legitimate president, or would they still insist on seating Trump in the Oval Office?
I’m just playing a mind game here, because at present, I believe Trump was the legitimate winner under our electoral system.
@9 But you have no problem with employers who require workers to work off the clock or steals their labor through other creative wage-theft schemes, right?
@10 “My guess is probably not as good as you feel when a lone judge somewhere decides to rewrite the Second Amendment.”

@1…Even better, don’t use it at all.
@12 Sorry, doc, but the burden is on the police to exert their “action” against people who are actually breaking the law. Did the cops declare the public gathering there an “unlawful assembly” and order all those present to leave the area? If not, Hagopian had a legal right to be there, and the cops didn’t have a legal right to take “action” against him unless he was breaking the law. What law did he break by standing there and talking on a cellphone? Are you saying it’s illegal for a black person to be in the presence of white cops? Maybe you should stick with reading x-rays and stop trying to be a lawyer, which is something you aren’t trained for.

Start with the district court judge’s decision in Heller v. District of Columbia.
Maybe then peruse the district court judge’s decision in Ezell v. Chicago
That Ezell case nicely exemplifies the slimy tactics your ilk employ – requiring firearms training to own a firearm and banning shooting ranges in the whole of Chicago, essentially making it impossible to obtain the training.

Yeah, this was never gonna work out well for the DNC.
Aides to Mr. Ellison were going to make him available for a telephone interview, but then declined when informed that he would be asked about his past comments on Mr. Farrakhan.

@20 The moron in this thread is the idiot who doesn’t differentiate between cops who are assassinated and cops who harass black people. The former doesn’t justify the latter, and the latter doesn’t justify the former. Both are evil. Most people with a sixth grade education can figure that out, but apparently you can’t. Go fuck your goat.
@21 Are you asserting that Heller and Ezell rewrote the Second Amendment? A lot of liberals would agree with you on that one.
@22 “not a peep from The Stranger or similar outlets(like HA)”
Sorry, but lying doesn’t get you where you want to go. Liberal posters on this blog, myself included, have posted comments decrying the murder of cops.
We’ve also posted comments decrying what we see as questionable killings of unarmed black people by trigger-happy cops. (See, e.g., Tamir Rice, who was shot by a cop who had been recently fired by another police department because he was deemed psychologically unsuitable for police work.)
The latter does not negate the former, and the former does not negate the latter, but it requires critical thinking skills that you lack to comprehend this.
If you want to ride a “liberals hate the police” high horse, take that shit somewhere else, because you won’t find any takers here, except maybe your fellow idiot trolls.
(We don’t have any intelligent trolls on this blog, only a small herd of stupid goatfuckers.)
@26 Things changed under Hitler, too. I’m not saying there’s a correlation or similarity. It’s just an observation that change isn’t always a good thing, it depends on what kind of change you get.
@20
So you are saying Che Taylor was “harrassed”?

Oh…..and you lost. Eat it.

Liberal posters on this blog, myself included, have posted comments decrying the murder of cops.
Of course, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s posts of this nature are dwarfed by the number of posts he has made using the term “killer cops”.
And when he posts in support of the former, it’s typically to cover his ass after he goes too far promoting the latter.
Google is forever, motherfucker.
I get it now. The trolls always hoot and high five when a white cop or vigilante kills a black male because of cop-killings… It’s simple eye-for-eye justice.

@32 The only cops I call “killer cops” are cops who commit dubious killings. I happen to believe that life is precious and people shouldn’t have their lives taken from them without sufficient cause. You obviously don’t believe that. Our different beliefs in this regard is not what I consider to be an honest difference of opinion over a matter on which reasonable people can differ, Boob.

@62 I don’t hate the police. I love the police who do their jobs in a professional manner. But racist killers shouldn’t be cops, they should get into some other line of work, such as preparing food in a prison kitchen or working in a prison laundry.
And the ones who take out people like Che Taylor from society should be thanked, not persecuted.
As for the rest of your post @63, I completely agree.

@7, 13,
Any attempt by filthy mongrel traitors to tamper with the democratic process will be met with civil war. The centipede armies will pan out and retake control from pansy liberal coup leaders. Police, all of whom support Our Leader, will fly to the side of justice and your multi-cultural, wet dream will be crushed mercilessly.
Beware, weaklings. That stove is hot!
@97 Under the democratic process, as established by the Constitution, the electors can choose anyone they like. If no one gets 270, then the House chooses a president from the top five. Therefore, if a sufficient number of electors pledged to Drumpf defect, leaving him with less than 270, then he will not be president if the House deigns to choose someone else and there isn’t a fucking thing he, you, or anyone else can do about it. This is all perfectly legal and in accordance with our Constitution, which establishes the rules we all play by.
Alternatively, if recounts are conducted in accordance with law in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and it turns out that Clinton won those states, such that she and not Drumpf has 270 or more electoral votes; then she, not Drumpf, will be president. This also is in accordance with the rules established by our Constitution, and there won’t be a fucking thing he, you, or anyone else can do about it. The lawful winner of an election is the winner of the final certified vote tally, not the putative winner of the pre-recount tally.
As for civil war, the last time a bunch of big mouthed hotheads tried that, it didn’t play out the way they imagined it would.
@ 98
…it turns out that Clinton won those states, such that she and not Drumpf has 270 or more electoral votes; then she, not Drumpf, will be president. This also is in accordance with the rules established by our Constitution, and there won’t be a fucking thing he, you, or anyone else can do about it.
Not true.
The electors can do something about it.
A shame, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, that you fail to recognize that the same thing that can happen to Trump can also happen to #CrookedHillary. Read your first sentence again, Dumbfuck.
Not surprising, but a shame nonetheless.
@99 Explain how, if she “has 270 or more electoral votes,” she will not be president.
@100
Dumbfuck, any recount, recanvassing, or whatever would be necessary before the electors meet to vote on December 19.
Let’s say your wet dream becomes reality, three states flip, and Clinton ends up with an electoral vote majority after a recount.
The electors could still vote in a faithless manner. As you wrote yourself @ 98, they can choose anyone they like.
Meaning they could give #CrookedHillary fewer than 270 total EVs on December 19th, even if by state totals she held more than that number.
Again, it is an unsurprising shame that you have your fat head stuck so far up your fat ass that you fail to realize that the same theoretic event that could befall Trump might also befall #CrookedHillary.
Dumbfuck.
The vast majority of cops killed so far this year have been killed by white men. Not once has the self-loathing loon said a word when this happens. That’s because the self-loather wants to create the impression that only blacks and latinos kill our police officers.
“A white man with a history of racial provocations and confrontations with police ambushed and fatally shot two white officers Wednesday in separate attacks as they sat in their patrol cars, authorities said.”
http://www.chicagotribune.com/.....story.html
@98,
The lawyers will be first in line at the gallows.

@101,
As far as Real America is concerned, the winner was already declared by television on Nov. 8th. No shenanigans of any kind will be tolerated. Neither the Crooked Bitch Clinton nor Wall Street Whore Romney will ever be President. The election is over.
It tells one person one thing, another person something different.
IT ADMITS IT’S A LIAR!
Thanks for playing you holier than thou – TURKEY!
Last night was fun – if you consider shining a light on a cockroach entertaining.
@101 Learn to read English, dummy, before they mistake you for an immigrant and deport you. I wrote, “if … it turns out that Clinton won those states, such that she … has 270 or more electoral votes; then she … will be president.” If those states flip, but faithless electors deprive her of their electoral votes, then she doesn’t have “270 or more electoral votes,” does she? How does such an illiterate fuck get into medical school? They must have lowered the admission standards before you arrived. Or maybe you got in under some sort of reverse affirmative action program, which may explain why they didn’t trust you with a scalpel and stuck you in the basement with the x-ray machines.
@103 Less competition means more business for me.

@ 50I happen to believe that life is precious and people shouldn’t have their lives taken from them without sufficient cause.
And yet you support, defend and cheer the mutilation and murder of unborn children at the rate of 978,784 US abortions SO FAR this year and 1,435,910,667 worldwide since 1980.
US this Year after 16 weeks gestation: 46,982.2
US this Year due to rape or incest: 9,494.3
Black babies since ’73 in US: 17,869,516.0
WW since you loaded this page: 620
Save us your phony sanctimony and false “life is precious” bullshit, because congratulations dude, you prove the narrative of the folks that voted against Hillary and against you.
If there is a God and life begins at conception, and if abortion is murder, then God has already murdered far more “babies” through natural embryo loss than women or doctors will in a million years. And the way God goes about killing them, billions of them have been flushed down the toilet! What a way to go, huh? And then there’s all those times that God order the killing of babies and children, as with the Canaanites.
https://www.openbible.info/topics/killing_children
Looks like God doesn’t believe in the preciousness of life, especially the lives of embryos.
Very true. But that is GOD’S RIGHT, not humans as He is omnipotent – as much as you pro-borts like to think you are God, you pro-borts are not.
“natural embryo loss” vs purposely killing a embryo, dismembering a baby. Surely you understand the difference.
You are using the Bible, (at least you are reading it to find a way to use it!) but alas, against God and to promote your agenda, not His.
@112 “And yet you support, defend and cheer” blah blah blah …
Actually, I don’t, you ignoramus. I’m personally opposed to abortion on moral and religious grounds. Anyone who’s been reading this blog for a while knows that, because I’ve posted this many times. But I’m a hare, so that’s easy for me to say! A lot of women might disagree with me, especially when an unwanted pregnancy screws up their life. What gives me the right to make a stranger to raise her rapist’s child? I don’t think I have that right. This is supposed to be a free country, not a place where sanctimonious hypocrites can tell other people how to live their lives. If abortion is made illegal again, they’ll be the first ones to send their mistresses to Mexico to get abortions.
@114 Well, if killing is God’s sole right, then she doesn’t do a very good job of protecting her rights, and needs a better lawyer than the one she’s got.
“You are using the Bible, (at least you are reading it to find a way to use it!) but alas, against God and to promote your agenda, not His.”
I’m a person of faith and, like Roger, do not approve of abortion.
“natural embryo loss” vs purposely killing a embryo.
You don’t display evidence of having read the Bible. If you did, you must have skipped the parts where God has babies killed. Here’s a clue. They weren’t embryos and there was nothing natural about it.
Not everyone believes in God and not every believer believes as you do.
Why do you want to force your beliefs on everyone else? If you don’t like abortion, fine, DON”T HAVE ONE..
What else don’t you believe in? Any form of contraception? Why such a horror of trusting women to control their own bodies?
What a believer in “small government”, government that stays out of people’s personal business you are.
Btw, our neighbor to the north, Canada, doesn’t have a SINGLE law on the books regulating abortion to my knowledge. NOT ONE compared to the thicket of regulations you support and I’m pretty sure there’s less abortion per capita there than here. Talk about small government.
If abortion is such an offense to God why hasn’t God wiped the place out already?
@6 And it’s high time Americans tie the bell where it belongs. Both parties make all the hullabaloo about the Presidential election so the people don’t really take notice of where the real power is, and that is Congress. Presidents of both parties struggle to get around Congress and sometimes they succeed and sometimes they don’t This time the President didn’t though it could be appealed, Of course this is all an interpretation of the rules and a fair argument can be made Obama didn’t overstep, but the next President can reverse. Perhaps it’s time for Congress to interpret further.
@7 The elector system was not to preserve slavery, Slavery was a fact of life. The best that could be hoped for at the time was the institution would wither on the vine. The fight was over the big states and the little states. That has something to do with having a Senate. That little 2/3 of a person thing was forced on the southern slave states as they wanted for that purpose to count all their slaves as a person.
There was that little thing about disallowing the further import of slaves after a certain year in the Constitution so it was not a document fully in support of the institution. Though there were indentured servants in the north, and Ben Franklin was indentured to an Uncle as a young man to learn the newspaper trade, he ran away, but it was a fact of life. Believed at the time a fact of life that was becoming passé. Didn’t work out that way, no one predicted Mr. Whitney’s cotton gin, just like few predicted Trumps win.
Though not having the American colonies certainly enabled Queen Victoria and parliament to outlaw slavery, One of the unintended consequences of the American Revolution.
@7 And if you are so gung ho about democratic outcomes then shouldn’t the larger states go to a proportional system rather than winner take all? That would be more Democratic and would actually mean there would not be wasted votes as all the votes in those states would have meaning.
Moving election day to the weekend or making the day a holiday and requiring voters to vote might also be good,
Increasing the number of representatives in the house would also be a good start, and increasing the number if the population goes up after the 10 year census would also be good, and candidates of both parties would have to go more places and elections maybe more competitive. Then again maybe you really are not about having competitive elections are you Senor Rabbit. You would prefer the perks of being a single party system. That worked so well for Mexico for all those years,
@121 Lets see the Constitution says the number of representatives shall not exceed one in thirty thousand. and it gave:
New Hampshire 3
Massachusetts 8
Rhode Island and Povidence Plantations 1
Connecticut 5
New York 6
New Jersey 4
Pennsylvania 8
Delaware 1
Maryland 6
Virginia 10
North Carolina 5
South Carolina 5
Georgia 3
I think the math and geography argues against this claim about the electoral collage. All but one of the southern states are large states. I’m sure some southerners argued for a unicameral congress and a popular vote for the chief executive though they probably favored a President for life.
@9 Well things seem to work pretty well in those Scandinavian countries. Folks there are happy and they even happy to pay high taxes if they make a lo of money. And paying taxes and doing a tax return is amazingly simple.
Hoping you are giving generously of your excess wealth this holiday system. Or maybe we should emulate the Swedes, Finns and Danes. Gotta get those Trump business partners in them countries to make a call on the President elect. Whisper in his ear so to speak.
@114
there is _NO_ god. never has been, never will be.
@10 It is what lone judges do from time to time in our system of justice based on English law. Then sometimes those Judges are determined to be right or wrong at the appeals court. Then sometimes a second bite at the apple is taken at the Supreme Court, the lone judge decision is deemed constitutional or not. All of the great and horrible decisions of the Supreme Court start with a lone judge somewhere. Unless they are meeting as the trial court and they do that rarely, and even more rarely with the modern court.
@20 Isn’t that what was said about the sad death of Wild Bill Hickok there in Deadwood all those years ago.
@98 So it would be ok then for Republican activists to contact electors in Washington state representing areas that voted for Trump to change their vote to Trump or someone other than Clinton?
Of course Jill Stein is up against the clock here. Michigan’s Board of Canvassers will certify the election November 28.
Can’t find out if Pennsylvania has already certified, or the date the official numbers come out.
Wisconsin: Three days after the elections board meets.
Things have to shake out before December 13 so the big vote takes place December 19. Thank goodness the whole thing dates back to the horse and buggy age so maybe Stein can get some recounts. Should be fun. Will I go all he way to the Supremes for a 2nd unpublished decision?
@98 And those civil war hotheads were all Democrats. Maybe the founders were right about distrusting democracy and having a electoral collage. Abe wins with 30% of the vote.
@114 Gods rights? Hmmm why does God need rights? And aren’t the great moments in the bible when a human being tells that pretentious prick his rights don’t outweigh a human beings rights. One must dissent against god to grow. One must be able to tell God no I will not slay my son on the marble slab with the ritual knife.
Of course this maybe a western concept and why we all think a woman placing her children into a vehicle and driving it into a lake is a terrible human being. Yet on the Islands of the Pacific infanticide was practiced and females were expected to kill their children in the starving times and too ensure there were not too many mouths to feed. Also it was common for Romans to throw newborns onto the trash pit. Which apparently would be just fine with these folks supporting no abortions as long as the fetus is born doesn’t matter what happens after that.
