Good morning. I know many people are done with masking. But, I am still wearing one. On public transportation, where it’s required, but also inside in public. I have said many times that since I don’t wear glasses, or have stink breath, that there’s no reason not to wear one. Anyway I found a third!
Over the weekend, I went to the conservatory in Volunteer Park. It was nice, masks were required, and there was only one route through it. I wore an N95, but I could have used a lower quality one. Anyway, several of the plants were flowering. I had the urge to give them a sniff, but of course, couldn’t in a mask.
I am glad that I wore the mask, because who wants to infect people with, or get COVID-19? But, it did diminish the experience. Of course if you care about smelling flowers, getting COVID-19 is probably a bad idea.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?
I mean, seriously. I know quite well what the advertising base business model for a local television station looks like. If you people had any self respect the sponsors and advertisers for this local would all be under a devastating boycott.
This shit is not hard. Nazis! Nazis for fucks sake!
You do not do business with Nazis. Full stop.
Nothing is more un-American or more evil. This isn’t even close.
How the fuck do you live with yourselves?

2)I avoid KOMO News except for the Facebook comments. They got people that think the station is Far Left, even when told about Sinclair.
4,
You all need to avoid their local advertisers.
Their business, their profit, and the money they use to fund neo-Nazi promotion comes from their local advertisers.
Whatever car dealerships, or grocery stores, or pizza delivery, or tribal casinos do business with them should be dead to you.
These are Nazis. You don’t “allow them their perspective” or “keep an open mind” in hopes that they’ll come around. They are Nazis. You don’t do business with Nazis. People who do business with Nazis are paying for Nazis. Is there any real separation? This isn’t nuanced or subtle. It’s not a “point of view”. History tells us all we need to know about Nazis.
I honestly can’t understand how a local television station almost entirely dependent upon local advertising could survive promoting Nazis in a place like Spokane, or Boise. But the fact that they are thriving and attracting advertisers in a city like Seattle speaks loud, shameful volumes about your city. Shameful.
A klownservatic perspective on kbj and hee hawley’s attack on her over kiddie porn:
https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/03/senator-hawleys-disingenuous-attack-against-judge-jacksons-record-on-child-pornography/
“The allegation appears meritless to the point of demagoguery…. Judge Jackson’s views on this matter are not only mainstream; they are correct in my view.”
hee hawley is garbage.
I checked out their FB comments. Mostly low IQ traitors saying really stupid shit. I get enough of that here.
Please don’t visit their social media.
KOMO is a Nazi content farm, driving unique views, and click throughs via multiple content channels that include Facebook, etc. Don’t support Nazis. At a minimum when you visit their socials you drive up their unique views. In doing so you are putting money in their pockets. Money they will use for more Nazi promotion.

I think its only a matter of time before they turn off the lights, or at least attempt to.
I read on social media that Republicans embarrassed themselves in Confirmation Hearing for Supreme Court Nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.
It’s super telling that Democrats spend their time talking about the nominee, and Republicans spend their time talking about Democrats.
Considering that Senate republicans voted to confirm a drunk pervert into the supreme court, It’s telling that they are so riled up when the nominee is a highly qualified black woman.
@2 Has nothing to do with us people. We have no control over who owns our local TV stations.
KOMO was bought by rightwing bullhorn Sinclair Broadcast Group, whose current executive chairman got his start in business by “selling pornographic videos in Baltimore’s redlight district during the 1970s,” was arrested in 1996 for getting sucked off by a prostitute in a company vehicle, and more recently sucked up to Trump hoping to exchange media favors for deregulation of his industry.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_D._Smith#Career
As for how we live with the “new” KOMO, we change the channel or turn it off. Sinclair is notorious for requiring its local stations to air its corporate-produced propaganda. As Wikipedia puts it, “every news station under Sinclair’s umbrella is required to syndicate commentary that comports with its owners’ ideological views,” which needless to say are ultra-reactionary.
@4, 5 I don’t know who KOMO’s advertisers are, and neither does anyone else here in Seattle who refuses to watch or have anything to do with Sinclair and its noxious propaganda.
@9 I have a full-house generator, and if they turn off the gas mains too, I can hook up my generator to a propane tank. I can’t do anything about fallout drifting across Puget Sound from Bangor, though, but I have it on good authority that most of it will blow in Doctor Dumbfuck’s direction.
@10 Every Republican senator, possibly (but not likely) save for 1 or 2, will vote against Jackson for these 4 reasons, any one of which are disqualifying in their view:
1) She was nominated by a Democratic president.
2) Her views are to the left of fascism.
3) She’s a woman.
4) She’s black.
Although the stock indexes are down today, my stocks are up, because I’m properly diversified and correctly positioned for current market conditions.
I wonder how Doctor Dumbfuck is doing? Last I heard, he was on the paying, not getting paid, end of hay and diesel futures.
10,
Don’t know about the rest. But Blackburn sure as hell was an embarrassment. It’s like she doesn’t even know where she is half the time or why she’s there.
Bob, maybe you could trade the horse in for this one.

Pulling his tractor out of the mud. That, or rolling around in the mud like a pig in shit.
I suspect he is sitting glued to the TV and watching the confirmation hearings. I’m certain he is having a Turret’s outburst and is ready to bust a vein.
Still no update now more than 24 hours after it was announced that Associate Justice Thomas was rushed to a hospital on Friday grievously ill.
The initial reports said he was suffering from an undisclosed “infection” and was being treated with intravenous antibiotics, and that he was expected to be sent home today. But it appears that he remains hospitalized under close observation still clinging to life.
Let us all now bow our heads in silent prayer.

Relitigating Bork. How cute.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/21/politics/kavanaugh-jackson-hearing-analysis/index.html
The guy’s been dead for nearly 10 years. While alive, he did what no other lawyer in Nixon’s administration would do: He fired Archibald Cox. He also opposed civil rights and supported poll taxes. Even some Republicans voted against his Supreme Court nomination. It wasn’t even close. But I guess if you want to beat this dead horse as a member in good standing of the White Supremacist Party, the time to do it is when a black woman’s nomination is before you.
Speaking of KOMO, it looks as if another one of Andy Ngo’s good pals is paying a steep price for cozying up to him and his Nazi associates.
KOMO news director has announced that he fired Jonathan Choe today. KOMO claims Choe was “completely rogue” and had put the neo-Nazi promotion together without anyone’s knowledge or approval. And I’m sure if KOMO pays Choe enough that story won’t change.
@28
Bork deserved the confirmation hearing he got. I had no business being on the SCOTUS. Republican have never been able to get over the butt-hurt of trotting out one of Nixon’s minions to try and put them on the highest bench. We have seen the likes of Trump do that most recently and it hasn’t worked out all that well for him (despite Bob’s constant cheerleading).
The Republicans need to sit down and STFU after the stunt they pulled with Garland, they have no room to try and take the moral high ground after that.
FWIW, Thomas has simply been the worst AJ in the last 50 years, he should have never been confirmed. I guess they wanted their pick as retribution for Bork.
If Thomas doesn’t make it out of the Covid tank, how would you guys and gals feel about Biden installing Childs in his seat to salve Graham’s butt-hurt? Since he’d probably vote against her, that would also underscore his hypocrisy with a highlighter pen.
FACTS:
Since the 2020 election COVID death rates have run 2.6 times higher in the reddest tenth of the country by county level voting.
75% of COVID deaths have been among people 65 and older.
Republican voters skew much older than Democrats.
Republican voters are far less likely to mask or distance in both indoor and outdoor crowded settings.
COVID deaths are widely understood to have been under reported in Trump voting counties, especially among older Trump voters.
Put it all together and you get a measurable skew in deaths on a state by state basis between Biden voters and Trump voters that favor Biden in key states.
Arizona: Biden +3800
Georgia: Biden +5135
Nevada: Biden +2200
Texas: Biden +17,711
Florida: Biden +11,957
California: Biden -4206
Pennsylvania: Biden +7217
Wisconsin: Biden +2451

The little girl who sang in the Ukraine shelter is now safe in Poland, where she’s a war refugee.
Her name is Amelia Anisovych and here she sings the Ukrainian national anthem before an audience of thousands at a charity concert in Poland on Sunday.
@24 “Gravely ill” might be accurate. I’m older than Thomas, and my doctor gives me antibiotic pills for routine infections. Who the hell gets intravenous antibiotics in a hospital for “flu”? Who treats flu with antibiotics at all? The last time I got intravenous antibiotics in a hospital I had a life-threatening bloodstream infection. I suspect more may be going on than the press and public are being told.

Nice try from the Rep Cuellar re-election campaign. Restoring passenger rail service cross border to Mexico is a non-starter. It was ok with Missouri Pacific’s Aztec Eagle, but schedule keeping under Amtrak was bad, and since San Antonio-Laredo was dropped, the privatization of Mexico’s National Railway wiped out almost all Intercity Passenger service.A San Antonio-Monterrey service is impossible. San Antonio-Laredo should at least be restored, combined with the other branches of the MoPac Texas Eagle, first.

37,
At Thomas’ age, and with his actuarial life history, any overnight stay in a hospital for any reason other than routine testing, is gravely ill.
Another 24 hrs has passed with no update, and no word that he’s been sent home.
Marsha Blackburn Lectures First Black Woman Nominated to Supreme Court on ‘So-Called’ White Privilege
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/marsha-blackburn-lectures-ketanji-brown-jackson-white-privilege-1324815/
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has yet to cry about beer, not sure the republicans can support her.
Seems that Marsha Blackburn is trolling for votes and warning the “illegitimate” black woman not to even think about chipping away at White Privilege.
God Bless President Biden!
We’d be fucked without him!
@42 hee hawley bores the krap out of me.. makes my stomach turn.. him and kotton and khruzz… thank heavens for Marsha Blackburn..
I can have a good laugh from a long-winded always wrong Senator.
From the same Rolling Stone piece:
The Washington Post pointed out on Sunday that, if confirmed, Jackson would be the only active Supreme Court justice to have attended an Ivy League law school, clerked for a Supreme Court justice, served as a public defender, served on the sentencing commission, served as a U.S. District Court judge, and served as a U.S. Court of Appeals judge.
She seems to be qualified.
but ooooohh CRT…. there’s no such thing as “white privilege”… don’t say “gay”! Can’t disturb any sensitive always wrong fee fees now…
Do I get an amen! on the “hidden agendas” and klownspiracies du jour???
Remember when Hunter Biden made $640,000,000 while working as an unqualified advisor to his dad the president?
Nope, neither do I.

@45
Trump also “went to Jared.” What, if any, qualifications did his son-in-law have to try and negotiate peace in the Middle East?
I guess one of the issues in the Middle East is a “land deal” which might make Jared remotely qualified. I’m sure he has lots of experience with slums and evicting people out of his properties.
@48 “What, if any, qualifications did his son-in-law have to try and negotiate peace in the Middle East?”
Dual U.S.-Israel citizenship, of course.
His idea of “peace” was to push a surrender document at the Palestinians and tell them to sign it, and when they didn’t, purport to agree to its terms on their behalf himself.
“Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday grew increasingly combative in his line of questioning of Ketanji Brown Jackson …”

I think Graham, unlike Biden, is a senile vegetable.
McConnell is so spineless he won’t even take a stand against a wife-beater.
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/599259-mcconnell-sidesteps-saying-if-greitens-should-end-senate-bid
This tells you a lot about the state of today’s Republican Party.
50,
Graham believes in a vastly expanded form of “advice and consent”.
He believes the Senate should select the nominee.
And at least when a Democrat is in the White House Every Republican You Know seems to agree.
If Biden nominated Amy Comey Barrett’s twin, they would vote “no”. We all know this is purely partisan. We know even the best of them (e.g., Romney) are partisan hacks. And we certainly know that Graham is a shameless flip-flopper.
This thread is refreshingly free of the stench of borscht.
53)Wonder if the GOP strategy is to savage Judge Jackson enough to get their plants in the Democratic caucus to have concerns. They seem to love getting nominees to ask for their nominations to be withdrawn.
