Tim “Biggest Lie of My Life” Eyman as been dealt another blow today by King County Superior Court Judge Marshall Ferguson. Ferguson blocked I-976, Eyman’s most recent $30 car tab initiative, from taking effect.
King County Superior Court Judge Marshall Ferguson expressed concern during a hearing Tuesday that [the ballot measure’s] language was misleading, and in his order Wednesday he said the plaintiffs were likely to win their case. He ordered Washington state to cease efforts to implement the initiative on Dec. 5, when it was due to take effect, pending further orders.
Just given Eyman’s record of repeated failures on ballot measures, I-976 is likely to be struck down. In general, Eyman has a robust pattern of failure, dishonesty, and fiscal mismanagement in his life, that has recently resulted in civil suit, bankruptcy, a divorce, and a even a very public episode of shop lifting.
In his latest move, Eyman is running for Governor. But he can’t even do that honestly, with campaign material saying “Governor Eyman for Washington” and “Governor Tim Eyman for Washington.”
So, unless he has even more difficulties in filing to run, we will see Eyman’s name on the ballot for the August 4th primary. That will be just one more way for Tim Eyman to engage in ballot vandalism.
Here in Island County we enjoy our lower car tabs. We also appreciate the subsidized ferry crossings and the shorter waiting times made possible by the new, larger boats. Island Transit buses are free because the electorate says they should be free.
Happy Thanksgiving, Darryl.
@1 And here we have a freeloader boasting about freeloading.
Another failure by Eyman. But it follows the pattern of his scam.
Write a faulty initiative that promises money to those who vote for it. When it gets stopped or overturned in court hit up the gullible outraged for more money.
Speaking of Thanksgiving …
How a demagogue riles up a mob.

And Doctor Dumbfuck is his #1 cheerleader.
@1. It’s fine if the freeloading is done by the racist incel. . He just can’t abide paying his fair share if it goes to anyone else. Hell, he can’t abide if anyone one else’s share goes to someone other than him too. Cause that’s the kind of taker he is.
Timeh is a moron and a grifter. Whereas Dr. Dumbfuck admits to sucking the teat of King County. Welfare Queen gonna welfare…
You would think Timeh could find someone to write an initiative that would pass muster. No, he isn’t interested in that, he just wants money for his lavish con-man lifestyle. “Give him the chair!”
Timeh should try and angle to get on the Sound Transit board, that would be fun to watch.
@6 “Give him the chair!”
No, make him pay for it. Why should he get a free chair when everyone else has to pay for theirs?
@7 It is meant as a joke, as in, “Give him the electric chair.”
Granted, Inslee has stopped state sanction capital punishment (thank you very much Norm Maleng).
The courts will permanently overturn the initiative. Don’t worry – we’ll all be paying the larger amounts renew our car tabs soon.
Oops! That should be “to renew.”
My bad!
Maybe Eyman should run for Mayor in Indiana.
From Previous thread, I found Bob’s comments on the number of votes cast for Mayor Pete interesting, so I thought I’d research to put his comment in perspective a bit more than the no votes The Hump got as Bob offered.
Here Are similar results for Repuke Mayor of Evansville Indweenanna, one of those back asswards States. The State probably should be nuked and save taxpayers a ton of money.

@11,
Let’s have the Democrats ignore the “flyover” states in the 2020 presidential election. Yeah, that worked so well for them in 2016 that it’s bound to be a “winner” in 2020, too. Let’s call the people that live in the interior states “deplorables” because that worked SO well for Hillary in 2016.
@12. Ohhh, don’t get your cotton tail all huffed up now. Snowflake.
I didn’t say ignore them, pretend you like them, The Hump does the same thing. Then nuke the fuck out of them.
Besides I’ve never flown over them.
To some degree, by ignoring Mayor Pete you are then ignoring the flyover State…..Idweanna still should be nuked.
If You want a caustic President, you got to be prepared for caustic attitudes. You pretty much ask for one at that point.
@8 Don’t worry, I got it the first time; I simply took it to the next level.
@9 “we’ll all be paying the larger amounts renew our car tabs soon”
Unless you’re a veteran with a 100% disability rating from the VA, in which case you can apply for free tags for one vehicle. Free as in $0 forever.

@11 Well it’s nice they have one Republican on their city council; a little diversity can sometimes be a good thing.
@12 Trump voters are deplorable. How else do you explain voting for someone who, in a single lifetime, has managed to be a liar, cheat, deadbeat, draft-dodger, serial bankrupt and adulterer, racist, bigot, homophobe, self-admiring narcissist, paranoiac, demagogue, extortionist, and tyrant? And that’s just the stuff that’s been confirmed. Anyone who can’t see what’s wrong with that has something wrong with them. You, for example.
@15 Exactly. People who cheer when Baby Hitler talks about having his critics shot as traitors and spies have nothing to complain about when they’re called dumbshits, dumbasses, dumbfucks, or trailerbillies.
Now we know how Giuliani intended to get paid. Twice, for the same “services.”

I suspect there could be a disbarment lurking somewhere in here.
This is classic Trump: Get the Ukrainians to pay Giuliani to do his dirty work for him.
To me, this isn’t about winning elections anymore. Why bother? So to tell me to be nice to the hillbillies is kind of funny, like it’s some warning that I should heed.
No Repuke is ever going to compromise to do something about Climate Change. No Repuke is ever going to compromise to do anything about the cost and broaden coverage of Healthcare. Fuck education and the debt of students, they can hawk Bank of America, Chase Bank, Campbell’s Soup, Kellogg’s Rice Crispy’s, Nike, Rebook, and Under Armor products now, and it’s not like any Repuke is going to compromise to do anything about it. Nothing would happen with gun control (It’s alway too early to talk a about….now’s not a good time). Did I leave anything out? Help fill in the missing ones. Want a Supreme Court Justice….how about you just go fuck yourself. Ohh, that little gerrymandered border? it’s such a nice silhouette of a dick and balls.
Let’s just get it over with. Instead of a slow, agonizing death due to radical weather events, give everyone an unlimited amount of AR-15’s (that’s probably the easiest obstacle to overcome). Losing is probably better. Let this Country go to hell in a hand basket, the hillbillies don’t have to worry about a thing, they’ll have plenty, they can ask Puffy. Once all those elite Libs are dead the rich conservative will share everything with you.
@24 I suspect it’s much worse than that — we’re rapidly getting to a point where Republicans will refuse to accept election results. Many of them already view losing an election as a summons to arms.
Win, win, win, win! Yeah rah rah!
Boston vs Yankees. Give each Boston fan and Yankees fan AR-15’s. Stick 50% from each side in both Yankee Stadium and Fenway Stadium, all with AR-15’s and throw out the first pitch!
Yeah, and the ones that don’t think that way want to win, win, win! Got their shitheads buried deep in their assholes.
@26 Geez, next we’ll have South American-style soccer riots at baseball games.
I think that one of the reasons why this Country has become so polarized has something to do with the divorce rate.
Worry shouldn’t be about gay people wrecking the sanctity of marriage, it should be, and have been 40 years ago, about heterosexual people getting divorced, or even marrying, so that divorce wasn’t an end result.
William Ruckelshaus who refused to join Nixon’s Saturday night massacre dies at 87.
He was the last of his kind, a principled Republican.

“Tensions that have been building for months between some of the nation’s most senior military officers and President Donald Trump are boiling over … senior Pentagon officials have privately said they are disturbed by the President’s behavior.”

Bottom line: You can’t support Trump, and support and respect our military, at the same time. You have to choose one or the other.
Are America’s plutes losing their grip? Is the Second Gilded Age collapsing? Is an Age of Reform in the wings?
https://time.com/5735384/capitalism-reckoning-elitism-in-america-2019/
In short, is Donald Trump runaway capitalism’s death rattle?
@32. I’ll gladly vote for the creditable candidates who will do their best to reform capitalism.
