Mayor Bruce Harrell is upset about the natural consequences of his policy. Jesus Christ almighty. I have had many problems with SPD and surely will continue to. But this is a consequence of moving police to harassing more homeless people.
If you want to (wrongly in my opinion) blame the defund movement or whatever for saying it’s choice between investing adult rape and attacking homeless people, I guess go for it. But ultimately the administration is responsible for making the choice.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

ABC News poll:
It’s not about

• abortion
• 1000% taxes on AR-15s

It’s the economy, dumbfuck, and the economy will absolutely bury Democrats in November.
Well, this should dispel any concerns that First Vegetable JoeBiden isn’t taking the challenges of his presidency seriously.
Chronic deadbeat refused service unless he pays upfront
“Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a campaign rally in Memphis, but the city police don’t want anything to do with it.”
That’s because the Trump campaign still owes El Paso, Albuquerque, Minneapolis, and other cities unpaid bills for providing police security at his past rallies.

Can First Vegetable Joe Biden still claim that nobody told him about the looming food shortage?
Maybe Kimmel can tell him.
@3 It’s possible the economy will bury the Democrats in November, given the high level of economic illiteracy among the dumbest 50% of the U.S. populace, starting with you.
And those who never read or listen to real news. For example, CNN reported this morning that, “While some in the US are quick to blame the current administration for the country’s woes, the fact is that almost every symptom afflicting America’s economy is also besetting much of the world.”
Biden can’t possibly be responsible for inflation and high gas prices in Europe, Japan, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
But never let a good lie go to waste, especially in an election year.
@6 Maybe taxpayers should stop paying Republican farmers to not grow crops.
@ 7
Biden can’t possibly be responsible for inflation and high gas prices in Europe, Japan, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Not directly, no. But he’s responsible for appointing the Treasury Secretary who now claims she didn’t stand in the way of his wild spending a year ago and who now admits she was wrong about inflation.
And he reappointed the Fed chairman who oversaw excessively permissive monetary policy for far too long.
He’s responsible for the damage done to our relationships with our allies when he abandoned Afghanistan and left them to their own devices in order to get their people out, and they now understand that there is no reason to trust his economic leadership if his global defense leadership cannot be trusted. Would Biden defend the Hormuz strait if Iran tried to close it? After his incompetence and dismissive posture WRT Afghanistan, why should any nation believe Biden if he says he would? That’s a risk to oil supply and helps drive up oil prices.

Trump’s four year economic performance was the worst of any president since Herbert Hoover.
Trump’s final year in office was the worst U.S. economy since WWII.
Nevertheless, Trump’s loss in the electoral college came down to three states with margins of 0.63%, 0.31%, and 0.24%.
Despite historically cratering the growth and jobs economy that he inherited from a Democrat, being twice impeached, and openly bragging about being a serial rapist, Trump came within a gnat’s butt hair of winning. So close that he still refuses to admit that he lost. So close that his party and supporters tried to overturn the election, and almost pulled it off.
It might be time to consider whether or not “conventional” analysis of elections and voting really even works much anymore.
In 2016 Hillary Clinton lost in large part because she carefully listened to conventional analysts and advisors. Trump won in large part because he completely ignored them. Ron Johnson wouldn’t be wrong to spend the next five months relentlessly reminding voters in Wisconsin that gas today is more expensive than it was when he and Trump cratered the economy a few years ago. But it’s hardly clear that alone will be enough.
People are mad that gas is more expensive, that their vacation plans got messed up because of flight cancellations, and that the lines are a bit longer at the drive through. And they want their government to fix the broken shit faster. But they haven’t forgotten who broke it.

To YLB, “word salad” is anything over her head. YLB, of course, badly misses tossing Barack Obama’s salad.
The Supreme Court, given its new tilt toward a federalism that emphasizes states’ rights and to be consistent with its forthcoming decision on abortion, should let states decide how they want to regulate guns.
@9 “And he reappointed the Fed chairman who oversaw excessively permissive monetary policy for far too long.”
And most Republican senators voted to reconfirm him.
I’m accused of “word salad”
Yep. Not a hint of anything resembling thinking..
Example:
He’s responsible for the damage done to our relationships with our allies when he abandoned Afghanistan and left them to their own devices in order to get their people out
That’s why NATO has two more members… what a shit for brains…
@24 Strange argument coming from someone who voted twice for a president who tried to dismantle all of our alliances.
@ 17
In 2016 Hillary Clinton lost in large part because she carefully listened to conventional analysts and advisors.
This claim is almost entirely incorrect.
1. Her campaign manager was Robby Mook. Robby Mook used a very unconventional approach to her campaign. This was probably the biggest reason for her loss.
John Podesta wanted to fire Robby Mook’s ass. #CrookedHillary wouldn’t let him. Had she actually “carefully listened to conventional … advisor
s” John Podesta, Mook would have been gone and there would not be Associate Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett, QoS McHillbilly.2. #CrookedHillary was the second-most disliked presidential candidate since pollsters began asking the question.
3. As a major party presumptive nominee #CrookedHillary was the subject of a criminal investigation by the FBI, and she may have benefitted by the misdeed of AG Loretta Lynch, who met in private with her husband and whose staff tried to cover it up.
4. Secret State Department files were stored by #CrookedHillary’s personal assistant on the laptop of a pedophile who had a history of sexual indiscretions, and this information became public very shortly before the election.
Need I go on?
Conventional campaigning. tells you to actually show up in battleground states like Wisconsin and in Michigan’s Macomb County. #CrookedHillary couldn’t be bothered.
#CrookedHillary lost because she was incompetent, uniquely unlikeable, and corrupt. And because her campaign manager was anything but conventional.
You’re a smart guy, QoS McHillbilly. You know better than to pull this shit.
Biden signed a 7.5 TRILLION dollar spending plan.
for defense..
but that spending doesn’t contribute to inflation.. amirite?
I’ll be among the first to say Powell’s monetary policy sucks. He badly misjudged inflation; it proved to be much higher, and less transitory, than he assured us would happen. He’s relied on jawboning instead of actual tightening to bring it down, which is working no better than Gerald Ford’s ineffectual Whip Inflation Now (WIN) scheme. And even with 8%-plus inflation readings, he took his sweet time to end QE, is still twiddling his thumbs on raising interest rates, and hasn’t even begun working down the Fed’s balance sheet yet.
If you want to bring gas prices down, you’ve got to get people out of gas guzzlers, something Republicans don’t want to give up. And flight cancellations are due to business travelers flocking aboard planes during a pilot shortage; maybe this isn’t the time for optional leisure travel? Bottom line, Doctor Dumbfuck should ride the horse instead of driving his F-350s, and Ted Crud should take a stagecoach instead of a plane to Cancun to escape this summer’s air conditioning blackouts that will kill those of his constituents who didn’t freeze to death. What Doc really resents most, though, was Biden giving checks to single moms so they could afford daycare and return to $9-an-hour jobs.
I saw a story this morning about a Capitol rioter who left her 6 kids unsupervised while she tried to overthrow our government. I presume because she couldn’t afford daycare.
Gerald Ford’s ineffectual Whip Inflation Now (WIN)
awwbuttt that inflation with an R next to its name was the fault of the swarthy types and the welfare recipients.
@ 27
He signed a one-year $768B defense bill, girlfriend.
It was a replacement bill, not largely new spending. You understand the difference, don’t you, Princess?
Some points:
• Biden’s proposed bill was only $715 billion. Democrats substituted a more expensive one. Biden could have vetoed it, or muscled Democrats back to his price point, but he didn’t.
• The signed bill was 5% more than the spending it replaced. We’re in an inflation environment of 8+%. An argument could be made that the defense bill came in below the rate of inflation, YLB.
IOW, girlfriend, you are correct that the defense bill Biden signed in December did not materially contribute to inflation, whereas all of the free money Biden signed off on in March of last year absolutely did.
That was the point you wanted to make, wasn’t it, Precious?
When you are YLB and you live off of free money provided by the taxpayers, you have no reason to care whether that money is new government spending or continuing government spending.
You only care that it is “free”.
@30 Spending is spending. When you maintain current deficit spending in an inflationary environment, you maintain inflation, too. Repeal the Trump tax cuts. That’ll bring down both deficits and inflation without having to cut defense spending.
They should take her kids away for child neglect.
https://www.rawstory.com/rachel-powell-jan-6/
YLB is so desperate to disassociate First Vegetable Joe Biden from the country’s current inflation woes that HA’s dumbest twat has leapfrogged @ 29 over Jimmy Carter to focus on Gerald Ford.
It’s OK, girlfriend. In November you will lose because you deserve to lose. Focus on that, and on whether any of the state legislative results will scare Chuck Schumer the way you think a Virginia state legislative result scared Cocaine Mitch.
You never disappoint, YLB. You always come prepared with the middle school-level argument.

Wow shit for brains got real exercised @ 30…
And forgets this country spends more on defense than the next umpteenth countries combined…
Whether it’s a D or an R…
So yes, dear troll,, over 10 years it’s a fucking lot of munee..
typical of a dipshit R.. like Israel.. defense can do no wrong.. spend and waste all the munee you want..
nothing bad about it.. Not even when a Biden or Obama does it. over 10 years..
Overcome with weakness, Degen now argues with itself.
Degen’s entire thesis is that, even if “$10 GAS” is not entirely Biden’s fault, some Dem House candidate running in a district like WA-08 is going to be blamed for it.
Yet somehow, simultaneously, he also neeeeeeds us to believe that the same voters would NEVER have blamed Trump for all the shit we endured for his last year in office.
Obviously Degen is highly triggered here. He’s reflexively going on opinion-rant about his favorite subject: all the things he hates about “That Bitch”. And aside from being formed entirely of his opinions, it’s also incomplete, cherry picking nonsense.
Every single federal campaign uses data analytics. If you ever bother to volunteer for a campaign (you should) you will be given access to an app to download. That app will be driven by data analytics. How a campaign uses data analytics, and the kind of campaign spending it produces, makes all the difference.
Sounds a whole lot like our Evangelical Right. I wonder what South Africa plans to do with their genocidal white nationalist pastor?
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/south-africa-treason-conviction_n_629e3a26e4b0b1100a677cf5
I see that HA’s dumbest twat’s new argument @ 38 is that defense spending is responsible for inflation.
Here’s the thing, YLB: Had Biden held to his $715B defense spending figure, it wouldn’t have been higher than the prior year spending, and so the net effect of all that defense spending on the rate of inflation would have been zero.
If the argument is inflation, YLB, ya gotta look at the new spending, not the spending that is close to flatline from one year to the next. Had Biden held firm, defense spending would have been flatline, but he caved. Ya dumb twat.
You know it’s getting desperate when it whips out the “Virginia” argument..
leapfrogged @ 29 over Jimmy Carter to focus on Gerald Ford.
Yes, Jimmeh who appointed Paul Volcker..
Now who would teh degen dipshit rather have as Fed Chairman, the orange dear leader appointed Powell
or
the old guy who sat at the left hand of “teh black guy”
Isn’t it obvious? Look what happened to Christie’s career when it took aid and comfort from “teh black guy”…
@ 39
That app will be driven by data analytics. How a campaign uses data analytics, and the kind of campaign spending it produces, makes all the difference.
And those differences made #CrookedHillary’s campaign anything but conventional.
With tightening polls in the larger battlegrounds, what justifies traveling to Arizona and to Georgia in order to campaign in the final week? A decision to completely ignore the polls, which is what her campaign did.
Which was anything but conventional.
Take the L, McHillbilly. You wrote something you shouldn’t have, and got caught.
that defense spending is responsible for inflation.
Heh.. No dear dipshit.. the argument is that even a Biden can spend a lot of munee on shit..
and you’ll just walk on by like good degen..
And make world salad “arguments” like you did @ 30…
@41 Defense spending has the exact same effect on inflation as other spending.
@ 42
YLB’s vajazzling all over the place now. Total incoherence at this point.
YLB is an embarrasment to her children in the same way that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit is an embarrassment to the family of SeattleJew.
@41 I don’t know if handing out tax credits, which is what Covid relief payments are, to middle and working class households is more inflationary than defense spending. Maybe it is, because that money goes straight into a consumer economy where too much cash is chasing too few goods and services. But it seems unlikely those tax credits are more inflationary than tax cuts handed to billionaires who go out and spend it on more yachts and mansions. I suppose you could argue the latter inflation doesn’t hurt people who aren’t in the market for yachts and mansions.
In a fiat currency system like ours kinda is.. (Nixon took it off of gold but then it switched more or less to oil)… Oil is traded almost exclusively w/ dollars.
munee is destroyed when loans are paid back… Settle your debts and teh munee supply drops.
So yes, increased deficit spending and debt due to orange dear leader’s tax cuts is inflationary. More munee chasing too few goods.
Yeah, ya know degen dipshit goes on and on what a bad guy Bill Clinton was..
teh evangelicals called Clinton “immoral” – a philanderer, a rapist even (degen’s favorite)..
then teh evangelicals turn around and embrace a guy who bragged on tape of committing serial sexual assault.

Look at all the incidents of CARES fraud – practically countless.. Created a huge run on lambos, ferraris, etc..
Yet send money to poor families so they can buy their kids things they could never afford before – that’s so bad.
@48 Bill Clinton was a philanderer. He had other moral failings, too. I didn’t vote for him.
Donald Trump is a philanderer on steroids. He had other moral failings on a massive scale. I didn’t vote for him, either.
Nor did I vote for Hunter Biden.
We all want a president who can end pandemics, cure cancer, keep wages high and inflation low, and bring back $1.50 gas and world peace. But you take the best you can get. In 2020, the choice was clear cut. In 2022, it still is.
@50 Yeah, and I’ll bet most of the fraudsters voted for Trump. FREE MUNEE, baby! Who else would set up shell companies with phantom employees to rip off the Treasury?
That’s pretty easy, actually. I guess it’s understandable that in the shock that followed Trump’s win, media professionals, including the ones that Degen obviously depends upon for his “thinking”, were desperate to find the explanation for how they could have been so wrong. Blame “That Bitch” works.
But in fact, if you believe, in a very fundamental way, that you win elections by persuading a group of people who might or might not support your candidate, to decide to vote for your candidate then you might go to Arizona or Georgia. Persuasion is a very complex, multi-variant problem that can be incredibly hard to plan and predict. Some people absolutely live for it. And of course, the traditional media depend upon it.
For example, in Arizona you have some influential (remember: persuasion) Republicans, Democrats, and independents who your polling indicates have a substantial influence over the people your data tells you are open to your persuasion. How can you nudge John McCain further away from Trump? Can you close the deal on McCain in the final weeks? How many numbers would that move in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania? Their polling indicated it was a huge deal. And they really believed that McCain was within reach. Maybe they couldn’t win the “Maverick” endorsement. But could they push him to be more outspoken in his opposition to Trump?
In the end, what we actually learned about the “moderate independent”, “fiscally conservative/socially liberal” voters, who Podesta believed could be persuaded, is that they really don’t exist at all, and certainly not in large enough numbers to make much of a difference. But this is incredibly conventional electoral analysis.
But nobody who draws a salary from TeeVee or depends upon huge broadcast and local television media buys to keep the lights on, wants to admit that persuasion doesn’t work very well anymore. Nor do the campaign managers and media consultants who take a nice slice of that spending.

Again, McHillbilly, you give The Corrupt Woman too much credit. Get off your knees in front of her, McHillbilly. She lost already.
She wanted to expand the map. To dunk on Trump. That was why they did it.
At one point in late October the conniving, corrupt Hillary Clinton was even thinking of campaigning in Utah. In Utah.
This was no cerebral, cautious, measured effort to persuade. It was hubris, nothing less.

I should have included this @ 63 but it actually plays better as a standalone.
McHillbilly: Persuasion is a very complex, multi-variant problem that can be incredibly hard to plan and predict.
I suppose it might be challenging to predict. That may be why #CrookedHillary tried to buy a bunch of AZ brownskin votes during the last weeks of the campaign:
She did it to pummel Trump. Instead she collapsed in a heap of suddenly-empty Franzia boxes on the night of November 8, and John Podesta had to go out and give YLB his kerchief to cry into.
It was a glorious comeuppance for a truly awful human being, one who inexplicably is still handed a microphone by liberals who refuse to believe that there is literally nobody to blame for #CrookedHillary’s loss other than Hillary Clinton herself.
She’s running. Don’t make the same mistake twice.

Somehow I don’t think Democrats should be counting very much on Hispanic support this year. Or in 2024.

ATTENTION: Script Revision. Read your notes!
Degen now wants to change the fucking subject entirely?
We started this odyssey with the poor pathetic thing needing to find a way to keep TEH INFLATION!!!!! alive. Again, it’s very clear from quite a few recent elections that there just simply is not some amorphous mob of EEN-DEE-PEN-DUCNE voters smeared across the American electoral map who can be reliably beckoned one way or another in each election. And even if that were still true (and it isn’t) then it’s also very clear that a president’s economic performance is not that persuasive. Trump gave them the worst economy ever. And damn near every fucking single one of them voted for him anyway. It’s in the voter file data. Trump increased his turnout, despite killing a million of them and shitting all over their retirement economy. Biden won by turning out educated white women and turning out non-whites. Nobody gave a fuck about 18% unemployment. Not when it came to deciding who to vote for.
So what? Now we need to forget about TEH INFLATION!!!! and bitch about Clinton’s “elitist” arrogance?
Fine. If it can get the degenerate troll to sing a different tune for a few hours, I’m in.
What a fucking clown. Been huffing his own fats for too long.
More or less my point right from the start.
What an idiot.
So Degen is basically now conceding that “history” just isn’t as decisive, and historically based conventional analysis of the electorate probably is not working as well as it used to. A lot has happened. Things have changed. So have voters.
One way that matters a lot is probably how Boomers aren’t as large a component of the electorate. It should be pretty reliable that younger voters will STAND DOWN during a midterm. But young voters just aren’t cooperating like they used to. So with the Boomer component shrinking and younger voters increasing their share, even in midterms, it changes how people respond to issues, if they respond at all. Biden and Democrats have struggled to grasp this shit. But there are signs it’s beginning to sink in:

June 6, 1889, Great Fire destroys much of Downtown Seattle. Several months plater, the Volunteer Fire Department was replaced with the professional force. Although I doubt in 1889 anybody would foresee that the majority of calls, even for engine companies, would be aid response calls.
Also, as a result of the Great Fire, was the formation of what became Seattle Public Utilities. Tge privately owned waterworks were bought out, and bigger mains and more hydrants were added. To protect the Water Department, the SFD now maintains a wildfire firefighting unit, although that call might take awhile, as Laurelhurst is a little far away from Tolt and Cedar Rivers.

81,
Bear in mind that Garland and the USAO DC face a very daunting task for any state prosecutor in these cases. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating that given the sharp political divide in the U.S. and the extreme partisanship from Republicans concerning the law enforcement response to this terror attack, there is almost no room for any sort of prosecutorial error. And so far Garland and the USAO DC have met that challenge. They are batting 1.000. And though Republican declarations that the investigation and prosecutions are “political”, the team continues to win indictments, guilty pleas, convictions, and sentences against every defendant, without any hint of bias, favor, or misconduct. It’s very clear that the President and the Attorney General consider that to be a requirement of this process. And so far they’ve pulled it off.
So this marks the first criminal indictment against high profile, politically connected participants in the terror attack. And besides preparing the prosecution with great care, the team probably also intended to send a message about the overall investigation to the public. The charge is a conspiracy to overthrow the government by force. It’s a very serious criminal charge with sweeping and acute implications. It is only the second time we see the USAO DC lay out their theory of the larger crime that might involve members of Congress, the White House, and the Trump campaign.
As before, they begin with the lowest hanging fruit, hoping to ladder the prosecutions up the chain of authority exactly like a complex organized crime case. Tarrio is a known federal cooperator who has betrayed his co-conspirators in the past. And previous investigations into the PB “leadership” have shown that they are fractured with jealousy and resentment. And with a much higher media profile and with more open political associations, the PB prosecutions have the potential at least to be more fruitful than the Oathkeepers.
It’s still early days, really. And I’m not yet aware of evidence tying high ranking officials to either the PB conspiracy or the Oathkeeper conspiracy. But the good news is it’s now a second felony based front opened up against the organizers and sponsors of the terror attack. Depending on what develops with each of these, it’s very solid ground for Garland to name a special prosecutor to carry these conspiracy investigations forward whenever it suits him and the needs of justice. And each successful prosecution and subsequent indictment moves a hypothetical “President DeSantis” further and further away from any hope of firing that special prosecutor.
