Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 7/14/25, 8:24 am

– Racing the 8 for hopefully better service in the future.

– We’re going to have to do more to save the orcas at a time when the Federal government is doing less.

Going to have to decide who to vote for for King County Executive soon. I recommend the Hacks and Wonks interviews if you haven’t heard them yet.

    Good news, libbies!

    Turns out Joe Biden was too far mentally gone to pardon Fauci.

    So DOCTOR Jill’s personal secretary did it instead.

    See the benefit? Joe Biden can now credibly claim that he did not pardon that POS Fauci.

    Member when Tomi Lahren was a thing? She’s over in the Twatter advocating the US kick California put and never gove them a dime as an independent country.

    K. They’ll take two of the top 5 US Ports, 10.5% of military personnel, and 12.5% of the country’s revenue with them. Did you know California produces 92% of the United State’s citrus fruit? Be a shame if you couldn’t get Cuties or Navel oranges anymore, Texas.

    @ 7

    Did you know California produces 92% of the United State’s citrus fruit?

    Did you know that

    • more than 140 countries produce citrus fruit?

    • China and Brazil produce more citrus fruit than the United States does?

    • citrus fruits face growing competition from other fruits and other food product categories.. And that if California fell into the sea other fruits would rather quickly be turned to by the rest of the world?

    And say, how many of those troops currently in California were born there, and how many are currently stationed there but could easily be moved somewhere else?

    California will be second on the list of states in need of a federal bailout. Then you can brag about how much more money it will cost the taxpayer to bail out California than it would to bail out any other state, fuckwad.

    Deficit-crazy Republicans won’t miss the net $80 billion hole it will put in their spending spree. With Fat Hitler’s new Fed Chair Kid Rock they can just print as much currency and imaginary crypto as they like.

    @9 Speaking of Trump economix, his financial czar says “patriotism” will prevent tariffs from raising prices.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/14/trump-trade-tariffs-inflation.html

    It follows, of course, that Texans won’t mind paying 50% tariffs on Brazilian oranges and 100% tariffs on Chinese oranges to spite California.

    Given the track record of this administration, it should surprise no one that ICE detainees packed into wire mesh cages are being fed rotten food that’s making them sick or no food at all.

    Texas flood victims and other red state disaster victims (there will be many) have to do without federal disaster aid because Kristi Dog Slayer believes the “FEMA camps” conspiracy theory.. to wit:

    The heart of the theory … is that disaster relief stations set up by the agency are actually “FEMA camps” to imprison white Christians — often backed up by falsely claiming that various military training exercises around the country are being staged by FEMA. “The racist subtext is never hard to spot. Militia groups that promote ‘FEMA camps’ conspiracies will often spin yarns about how ‘urban gangs’ will be recruited to round up ‘patriots’ — their code word for white conservative Christians — into camps.”

    Nice to know that vital public services are now at the mercy of the overheated brainwaves of paranoiacs. Republican voters did this to themselves.

    This is simple self-preservation:

    Nearly two-thirds of the U.S. Department of Justice attorneys tasked with defending President Donald Trump’s policies in court have walked off the job.

    https://www.rawstory.com/federal-programs-branch/

    Let’s say you’re a client who demands your lawyer lie to the court. It’s 100% likely you’ll find yourself without a lawyer in very short order, like immediately. Because no lawyer is going to sacrifice his/her career to save your crooked ass.

    If Donald Trump runs out of lawyers, there’s always pro se. But I think he’ll still have Alina Habba right up to the moment she’s disbarred.

    Republicans: Fossil fuels are “green energy” because we say so.

    In Louisiana, natural gas—a planet-heating fossil fuel—is now, by law, considered “green energy” that can compete with solar and wind projects for clean energy funding. The law, signed by Republican Governor Jeff Landry last month, comes on the heels of similar bills passed in Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana. What the bills have in common—besides an “updated definition” of a fossil fuel as a clean energy source—is language seemingly plucked straight from a right-wing think tank backed by oil and gas billionaire and activist Charles Koch.
