Today is the last day of the Seattle eviction moratorium. Nobody is getting kicked out of their house tomorrow, but the process of evicting people will start. I imagine a lot of landlords have already filled out paperwork. And rent may go up quickly. If you live in the city, you can apply for assistance.
Anyway, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted.
Switzerland possibly joining the sanctions against Russia. Didn’t think that was a possibility. They publicly don’t get involved.
That would be great! Hope they do.
From that noted right-wing rag The Guardian:
Stealth Hunter: Biden’s tangled business dealings are becoming hard to ignore
Under US statutes, all persons acting politically or quasi-politically on behalf of foreign entities in the US must properly disclose their activities.
In addition to Hunter Biden’s ties to Ukraine through the gas company Burisma, he has sat on the boards of BHR Partners, a private investment fund backed by a number of Chinese state entities; a hedge fund, Paradigm; a consultancy, Seneca Global Advisors; and the fundraising firm Rosemont Seneca.
Republicans, including the senior Iowa senator Chuck Grassley, have called on the justice department to evaluate whether Hunter or Joe Biden’s brother James Biden should have registered as foreign agents over their business arrangements with the Chinese government-backed energy company CEFC.
In 2018, Business Insider reported that Hunter Biden sought an annual $2m retainer to aid in the recovery of Libyan assets frozen by the Obama administration during Muammar Gaddafi’s rule. The list of accusations goes on.
It’s nice to see Ukrainian citizens proving the self-defense worth of AR-15s and the like, isn’t it?
2A, y’all.
Go ahead and start the shooting phase of your civil war intended to put an end our democratic republic. Y’all will soon learn that you have hugely underestimated what you’re up against. Just like your hero Putin did.
Your low IQ seems to prevent you stupid fucking fascist traitors from getting any lessons learned out of recent events.

Degen Bob does not realize that Helmore is essentially a gossip columnist?
Juicy!
Taken in the worst possible light (and Helmore clearly leans that way) none of the negatives in the profile connect to The President even circumstantially. Helmore claims the “laptop we’ve never seen” is “authentic” but offers no support for the claim, while admitting that qualified professionals who looked at the “documents” claimed to have come from the “missing” laptop regard them as Russian disinfo produced during the campaign and fed to Giuliani at Trump’s behest to help him overcome his own political failures and win reelection.
Hunter Biden is an adult male child of a recently elected president. He’s in his 50s and has lived on his own and made his own way, such as it is, for many decades. He may indeed have traded on his father’s name, as a great many other adult children do. But that’s not remotely exceptional or even very interesting to most voters. As the adult close relative of a powerful, famous, and highly accomplished political figure, he’s never held any public or political office either elected or appointed, By the standards of the day, and certainly by the standards set by the most powerful Republican families like the Trumps, the Romneys, the McConnells, the Thomases, etc. he’s a bit of an under achiever.
Aside from mundane tax accounting issues that don’t touch on the President, Helmore implies FARA lobbying violations. But no such investigation exists or has existed, even under Trump. HuhrDuhr came up with nothing. Helmore references a three year old Business Insider report from during the Trump administration that originated with The Daily Mail and references more “leaked emails” from Giuliani that have never been authenticated and also have been judged to have possibly been faked by GRU. But even if they are authentic, the emails are between two individuals neither of whom is named Biden, discussing the theoretical employment of Hunter Biden’s assistance. I don’t even know if that’s a crime. I’m pretty sure it’s not. But I can say for sure it’s not Hunter Biden doing it.
I’m surprised by this honestly. Not by the Guardian piece. But by Degen Bob wanting to drag Russian disinfo on Trump’s behalf back into the limelight at a time like this.
RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!
More please.

More lying bullshit.
Concealed carry is essentially illegal in Ukraine.
Full auto military weapons are illegal.
Handguns are very strictly regulated.
Semi-auto military style assault rifles are not available to the general public.
But now they are being invaded by Trump’s Russian sponsors and they are forced to go to war.
So military weapons are being distributed by the government to reservists, and defense volunteers.
That’s an interpretation of 2A I’d welcome in the U.S.
Fits with the “textural” interpretation better.
@ 6
Helmore claims the “laptop we’ve never seen” is “authentic” but offers no support for the claim…
Hunter Biden, in response: “Yes, that is my cock. Yes, that is a crack pipe in my mouth and, yes, I was unconscious at the time.”
I’m reminded that Bill Clinton never did provide a DNA sample to be compared with the DNA in the semen on Monica’s blue dress. Authenticity never proven.
@ 6, 8
Also never proven authentic: Hunter Biden’s paternity of First Vegetable Joe Biden’s bastard grandchild.
So, good thing that Trump pressured NATO member nations to spend more on their national defense, eh?

Yep! Degen Bob has him cold!
Hunter Biden, the 52-year-old adult son of the President is a gross person. He has tons of problems with drugs and who the fuck knows what else. And like a lot of Gen-Xers he makes shitty choices about the use of his iPhone. And he got his phone hacked.
All true.
Here’s some fantastic news:
Democrats want nothing to do with him and we never have and never will ask anyone to vote for him for anything!
By comparison Republicans lined up in record numbers three times to cast votes for a guy who bragged about sexual assault, and tried repeatedly to sell out the U.S. to a Russian monster currently carpet bombing a civilian population in a European capital.

Two words:
Corrupt intent.
You might as well learn them and know them.
Because as a Republican you already live them.
54% of respondents surveyed in the ABC News/WaPo poll released over the weekend do not believe that First Vegetable Joe Biden possesses “the mental sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president”.
That’s well beyond a simple majority, HA libbies. ABC News won’t tell you about it in its reporting, of course. You need to go to the poll itself, most of the way down. It’s question # 12, here:
https://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1224a32022Politics.pdf
A solid majority of the nation’s voters believes our president is senile.
And he’s still got three years to go. God help us.
Cue liberal anti-Semitic rant.
Florida Congressman Ted Deutch Not Running For Re-Election
MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Ted Deutch, who has served in Congress since 2010, will not run for re-election this year and will resign his House seat before the end of his term so he can take a leadership position with a major Jewish American advocacy group, CBS Miami has learned.
As YLB would say, “‘nother!”
Know what’s good for yer kids, YLB? A House GOP majority. An’ it’s comin’. Good and hard.
For three straight years leading into 2020 the same polling showed similar doubts about then President Trump. Trump was not trusted with defense. He wasn’t trusted with nukes. He wasn’t trusted with hurricane and forest fire response. He wasn’t trusted with state security and classified defense information. He wasn’t trusted with health care.
Yet by Feb 2020, before he killed a half million Americans, two thirds of registered voters expected Trump to win reelection.
@8 You’ve convinced me. I won’t vote for Hunter Biden. What office is he running for?

@10 “So, good thing that Trump pressured NATO member nations to spend more on their national defense, eh?”
So he could spend less, eh? Including funds for military family housing illegally diverted to BUILD THE WALL!
Honestly, doc, you look silly claiming he helped Europe defend itself. He doesn’t give a shit about Europe. He even slapped tariffs on them. He would’ve given Ukraine to Putin. Really, knock off imbibing the sauce before noon. You look even more foolish when you’re drunk.
@11 “It’s “textual”. Not textural.”
Maybe the keys are stuck together with dried jelly that dripped from a sandwich.
@16 Here’s a little context:
“But officials on the National Security Council ended up putting the proposal on hold after Russia announced it would draw down troops stationed near Ukraine and in the lead-up to President Joe Biden’s high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. One of the sources said the package is still intact, and could be sent to Ukraine quickly.”
Biden froze it to negotiate for peace.
Trump froze it to negotiate for blackmail.
Not the same. Strange I have to explain that to you. That’s because you’re a dumbfuck.
Really interesting story on BBC News today.
“The Conservative Political Action Conference, or Cpac for short, is usually a good way to gauge the mood of grass-roots activists within the Republican Party. … Some of the top Republican officeholders in the party, like Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Senator Rick Scott, didn’t mention Ukraine at all in their speeches. … One of Mr Trump more loyal supporters, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, went further, questioning why the US should be ‘footing the bill for Ukraine’ by imposing sanctions that could damage the American economy. Others, like Louisiana Senator John Kennedy, warned of ‘evil’ people who run countries without mentioning Mr Putin by name. And Florida Senator Marco Rubio was particularly careful in the Ukraine portion of his speech.”
Sounds like Trump, at some point, had introduced all of them to his bankers and they took it from there.
@18 So what? The American people were presented with a choice between “not mentally sharp” and “hopelessly dishonest, corrupt, and incompetent” and by a large margin went with “not mentally sharp.” Probably will next time, too. It’s the lesser of two weevils.

Would it be to blackmail his own father, perhaps? No living member of The Biden Crime Family possesses any moral standard, after all. Grifters be griftin’, regardless of consequences.
Hunter Biden is the subject of fawning articles in lefty publications. Meanwhile, Hunter’s business partner is headed to federal prison.

I’m reading in the news that a 40-mile long convoy of Russian tanks and vehicles is approaching Kyiv. I’m not a retired general or anything, but it occurs to me that if you can disable a couple vehicles at the front of the pack that brings the entire column to a halt and then you can walk up to them and toss molotov cocktails on them at your leisure. In this photo, there appear to be dozens of fuel tanker trucks densely packed together, and that could make for a real nice fireball. This article says the Russians are stupid, and I find myself struggling to grasp the tactical logic of attacking on a one-vehicle-wide front with 40 miles of reinforcements behind you. Maybe they plan to spread out once they’re in the city, although how isn’t clear to me, and probably not to them either.
The Russian army used to have a culture of strict command hierarchy with no accommodation for feedback from subordinates.
For example, their tanks were equipped with one-way radios, so a commander could order his tanks to “attack straight down the road!” and there was no way for the tank crews to reply, “There’s a minefield directly in front of us.”
I wonder if they still do things that way? This system does eliminate insubordination. It also eliminates tank crews.

“Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will skip President Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday because of the COVID-19 testing requirement for attendees. ‘I don’t have time to go take a COVID test today,’ Rubio said, according to a tweet from HuffPost reporter Igor Bobic. ‘I only take a test if I’m sick.’ … Rubio complained about the requirements for the State of the Union during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday. ‘For the first time in American history you now have people having to produce paper to go in somewhere, to sit somewhere …,’ Rubio said.”

Lest we forget: “Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign chairman, had been a foreign agent for the toppled Ukrainian pro-Russian government in 2014.” And, of course, it was his democratically elected replacement, now earning the admiration of the world by standing up to the Russian bear, that Trump tried to blackmail.

Hillary’s friends were doing the same dirty work that Manafort did, right alongside him. The big difference is that only Hillary’s friends had insiders in the DOJ to warn them about what was coming.

Republicans have always sided with authoritarian Russia against free Ukraine.
In 2019 as authoritarian Russian aggression accelerated in border areas surrounding free democratic Ukraine, Democrats in Congress won approval of a $400 million security assistance package that Trump reluctantly signed into law. In July of that year, and with Republican encouragement, President Trump unilaterally ordered the funds frozen for no reason.

Are these the guys who frisk Republicans for weapons in the coat room before they’re allowed into the House and Senate chambers?
I’ve seen videos today that, if they are authentic, indicate very clearly that Russians are using thermobaric weapons either in or immediately adjacent to residential areas in Kharkiv.
Russian rocket systems designed to deliver these weapons have previously been identified being transported into positions near Kharkiv and Kyiv.
A thermobaric weapon ignites aerosolized explosive in the atmosphere over a target causing the sudden consumption of oxygen, and a massive vacuum followed by a prolonged expanding fireball and blast wave at ground level. A very low precision weapon, these were originally developed for use in unpopulated areas to clear vegetation and prepare landing areas for airborne troops. They are considered a state terror weapon when used in populated areas. And their tactical value is negligible beyond creating large numbers of non-combatant casualties very rapidly as a means of inducing fear and despair.
This is just terrible.
FOX news is still devoting this week to lending support to Putin and his invasion into Europe.

As YLB would say, “‘nother!”
Oh that’s just mocking a certain pos troll…
but now that you mention it…
On Jan. 18, Dix, who lived in Corona, posted on his Facebook page that he experienced a “very severe ‘flare up’” of ulcerative colitis in late October, that he lost 70 pounds and was having health complications as a result…
Once solidly GOP, Riverside County has trended purple, if not blue, in recent years as its population grew and became more diverse. Democrats now hold an edge in the county’s voter registration, and Democratic presidential candidates have won the county since 2008.

good for my kids..
AMIRITE?
@96 We used them in Vietnam, but not against cities. We also used napalm in ‘Nam, sometimes against villages. Militaries are going to use the weapons at their disposal, especially when they’re losing.
Watching SoU, the President doesn’t look or sound very “senile” to me. He looks and sounds presidential, something Trump never has been.
@97 congrats! One less racist bigot too! It’s a twofer!

That was Lauren Boebert heckling Biden when he mentioned the death of his son Beau.

Memo to Kim Reynolds: You don’t “respect the people we serve” by taking away their right to vote, or empowering legislatures to overrule their voting choices.
@104 You want them to pay rent and get the fuck out?
Typical Republican, takes people’s money and gives them nothing in return.
Geezuz. If someone brake-checks you don’t stop, get out of your car, and confront the other driver. After dark, yet. Just let it go and go on your way.

The smoke from fires in Iraq and Kosovo caused Hunter Biden’s drug dependency.
The president of the Portland Police union was fired from the Portland Police Bureau today for helping arrange an attempt by police to frame and smear a city council member who has led efforts in the city to reform police.
Three members of the PPB led by Officer Brian Hunzeker worked with unidentified private citizens, an unidentified employee in the emergency dispatch center, and unidentified individuals in the local media to create and disseminate a false allegation of criminal fleeing the scene of an accident in an effort to smear the council member and to have her falsely charged with a felony. All three members of the Portland Police Bureau who took part in the scheme also acknowledged that they were motivated to do so in an effort to prevent the elected official from continuing her reform efforts.

This is what police do.
Most of the time they get away with it.
In December Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty filed a $5 million lawsuit against the city.
Paraphrasing the one who will recognize Zeself, The Stupid Things Affirmative Action Appointments and the Abused Elderly Sock Puppet (voted in by even dumber democrats) Say:

One wonders if Momala possesses an understanding great enough to describe the conflict in more specific terms than she did @ 111.
That chick is never going to be ready for prime time. Never.
The one thing I will credit Momala for doing @ 111, 113 is speaking in sentences that contain words that The Even Bigger Fucking Moron can understand.
This is because she speaks as if her audience was a group of fifth-graders. Always.
“Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.”

Indeed. It’s far easier to change the way you shill. Especially if there’s a paycheck in it.
Biden sure looked and sounded like a seasoned pro.

What a contrast from his race-baiting amateur predecessor. I’m sure glad we have a real president again in these trying times.
@111 I see Always The Ass is back. We thought you were either dead or deported.
@112 Okay by me if he’s replaced by a younger, more progressive Democrat.
@117 As a Republican, you are duty-bound to never pass on any opportunity to mock someone’s disabilities.

Late-reporting Starr County gives Cuellar a 3 point lead. Runoff.

Over your head.
@112 Something about counting chickens?
Watching the first episode of the return of Law and Order. Of all the cases Tgey ripped from the headlines, the Cosby Case. Thought tge Cuomo Case, but they did a takedown of a Cuomo-like Governor that was giving McCoy problems in an episode that aired back in 2009-2010.
In the reboot, the cops and prosecutors seem to be having a frayed relationship.
Republican Trump leading his party, running as an “outsider” incumbent, with the largest amassed campaign war chest in history, with the full-throated propaganda support of not just one, but three different television news networks, with the full apparatus of the federal security state, the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA, and Vladimir Putin to smear his opponent, with three years of economic boom, a giant tax cut, and having just pocketed 3 Supreme Court appointments in just his first term…
…suffered a breathtaking and historically humiliating loss to an old retired guy who tells long wandering stories like your grandfather and who wears aviator sunglasses unironically.
Also,
Arizona.
Georgia.
Senate.
It was a crushing reversal, only perhaps partially softened by how eagerly anticipated it was by pretty much every single decent human being in America. It was so crushingly humiliating that about 5000 of you losers lost your shit and stupidly attempted to overthrow Congress by armed assault. Both you and your loser ex-president to this day still pretend to yourselves that it didn’t really happen. And about once a month another dozen of you gets indicted and goes to jail for it.
Historically it was a partisan political upheaval without precedent. It clearly marked the single greatest partisan political disaster in American history. As long as I live, I will never tire of talking about it or writing about it. Thank you so very much for the unbidden prompt to do so. It was very generous of you considering your deplorable circumstances.
If prices go up at the pump, it’s a temporary fallout. Think of it as the price of freedom.
You are not sitting on concrete floor in a train terminal holding your cat.
“Go get him!” uttered by First Vegetable Joe Biden at the conclusion of last night’s SOTU address, the White House has now admitted, referred to the man who changes the president’s diaper.
127,
Worth pointing out that confirmation of Russian use of thermobaric devices means that non-combatants sheltering below ground in transit facilities are first suffocated, suffer multiple vacuum induced emboli, and have their eardrums ruptured before being roasted alive.
Think about that when you see those images of children sheltering on those subway platforms.
The formal title when Stephen Miller held it was Groom of the Stool.
Since The Republican Nominee relocated to a suite of rooms in a private sex club in Florida it is rumored that Jason Miller now performs these duties.
Just curious: When Hope Hicks performed these duties was it “Bride of the Stool” or “Maid of the Stool” or how did that work?
Opening underway in the first Jan. 6 trial.
How criminal opening works: statements basically, by each side describing the facts they intend to present. No arguments allowed. No rhetorical attempt to portray the facts with respect to the charges. Just “we will show” etc. It can be your preferred version of the facts you will present. Or of any facts from the other side you will dispute. But it’s the Sgt Friday rules: just the facts. Also nothing irrelevant allowed. No “what if”. No “suppose”. No “people say” bullshit. Argument comes at closing and rebuttal.
During opening statement against Three Percenter Guy Reffitt, AUSA Jeff Nestler described the defendant as “the tip of the spear” armed with a holstered handgun and leading the rioters in attacking police lines to advance toward the Capitol entry points. Prosecution theory appears to be that Reffitt’s role was to demonstrate to the mob behind him how to overcome police riot control tactics and to urge the mob onward. Nestler presents a long list of statements Reffitt made before, during, and after the attacks that support this.
Highlights include: “Dragging them out kicking and fucking screaming.”
“I just want to see Pelosi’s head hitting every fucking stair on the way out, and Mitch McConnell too”
“I’m packing heat and … I am going to that fucking building and I am dragging them the fuck out”

Sadly, but also entirely thanks to Trump and Putin, I think a lot of Americans are ready to vote for political violence, and anarchy. I just don’t think it’s the majority of Americans, or really even close.
Oil $112/barrel now.
About $30 of that is the Biden premium.
Thanks!

…suffocated, suffer multiple vacuum induced emboli, and have their eardrums ruptured before being roasted alive.
How unfortunate that they do not bleed out and perish rapidly, like all of those inner city kids in municipalities governed by Democrats.
It’s so much more pleasant to visit the morgue with a bloody shroud than with a smokin’ crispy critter.
Liberals want to drum the last voice of sanity out of the Democrat party.
Seems about right
Opinion: Republicans are so eager to see Biden fail that they’d let Putin succeed
“Let’s support the invasion of a sovereign democracy by a nuclear dictator to own the libs! and stay in power” – republicans
Reminds me of the t-shirts Trump supporters were seen wearing at his rallies, “I’d rather be Russian than a Democrat.” Not sure there are any of them trying to backpedal now.
133 “Pay not attention to Putin’s war crimes that I and all the republicans support, look over there and blame Democrats for something republicans engineered” pleads the greedy racist incel. Please try to be a better person.
@134. We fundamentally disagree what “last voice of sanity” is.
133,
Yeah.
Maybe Portland Police should do something about the ghost gun factories like the one found in Mr. Smith’s apartment.
But I guess they were preoccupied with butt-hurtz over their union president being shit-canned for trying to frame an elected official.
I guess we know their priorities. So it’s probably a good idea for public officials to look elsewhere for solutions to gun violence in cities.
Thanks for pointing that out.
@132 ??? I don’t quite understand this comment.
You’re the consumer driving a gas-guzzling F-350. I’m the oil stock owning capitalist. Are you cheering for my gains at your expense?
You’re a strange troll.
