Remember to get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by tomorrow. Light ballot for me, but there are some interesting legislative and Congressional races. If you drop off your ballot in Downtown Seattle, please note that the location has changed.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    Trans cheerleader kicked out of camp after allegedly choking teammate

    A transgender cheerleader who was born a biological male was kicked out of a Texas cheerleading camp and given a criminal citation after allegedly choking a female teammate.
    …
    The father of the girl whom Medlock allegedly choked was also called to the scene by his daughter and he has begun pushing for police to release body camera and CCTV footage of the incident.

    “I ask you what you would have done when receiving a phone call at 1 o’clock in the morning from your daughter stating they had locked themselves in the room with other girls,” the father, Mike Jones, wrote on Facebook. “At no time did I ever say anything about your race or your gender.”

    Medlock asserts that the physical confrontation with the other cheerleader was actually a joke, but police on the scene gave the former cheerleader a criminal citation for assault and removed Medlock from campus.

    Instead of a black dude getting murdered for acting trans we’ve got a black dude trying to murder a white chick for pointing out that he’s a black dude acting trans.

    “… liberalism is escape from reality” For me part of liberalism is the ideal that humanity can be better to each other.
    Does that mean conservatives believe that humanity cannot be better to each other? What a bleak miserable world view.

    Midterm cycles since ‘06 have certain rhythm: 1) Maybe POTUS’ party’ll avoid losses. 2) Things look good for out party. 3) Things look REALLY good for out party. 4) Hold on, maybe POTUS’ party won’t lose as many seats as thought. 5) Could POTUS’ party avoid wipeout? 6) WIPEOUT.

    Hey, there’s now an Axios for homosexuals!

    Axios San Francisco

    Welcome to the first edition of Axios San Francisco! Megan and Nick here. We are very excited to start this conversation on what’s happening in our city and why it matters.

    But more about us later. Onto the news.
    🌁 Situational awareness: It’s August! AKA “Fogust” here in the city. Today expect a high of 70° and a low of 57°.

    And a 95% chance of Monkeypox if y’all attended the Dore Alley Fair.

    “Medlock alleges that a teammate made transphobic and racist remarks before the altercation,”
    So after being provoked, the trans girl fights back. She should NOT have physically assaulted the trans phobic girl taunting her. If she’s being teased and taunted, is she just supposed to endure it? Is this a return to the 1950s where minorities have to be servile and not challenge the abusive white women?

  7. 7

    More on the Dore Alley Fair, which SF officials permitted to be held despite the public health emergency due to monkeypox the City had declared earlier in the week (Link #2 @ 5):

    SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The annual Dore Alley Festival happened Sunday in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood despite growing concerns around the spread of monkeypox. The virus has been predominantly spreading among gay and bisexual men who make up the majority of the festival’s attendees.

    The leather and fetish fair draws thousands of people to San Francisco.

    The event comes after the city just declared a public health emergency for monkeypox as the virus continues to spread.

    It’s politically unwise to come between a gay man and another man’s rectum.

    Sodom. Gomorrah. Read up on it.

  8. 8

    In Key West festival-goers wear tans and plastic beads, and smear each other with greasepaint..

    At the Dore Alley Fair the fair-goers smear each other with Santorum. Look ma, no hands!

  9. 9

    @5. I’ve never been but I’ve seen photos from the event in the past. It’s out there. If they are idiots and won’t wear condoms and practice safer sex while indulging in their kinks and fetish’s, that’s on them. However, as long as the activities are between consenting adults, it is none of your business what they do.

    The opposite would be republicans who wouldn’t wear masks and infected and killed un-consenting adults and children with COVID. That was wrong.

  10. 10

    “Sodom. Gomorrah.” Yeah, your kind are going to target Marriage Equality next.

    @ 6

    “Medlock alleges that a teammate made transphobic and racist remarks before the altercation,”

    The chick with dick also alleges that the altercation didn’t happen:

    …has denied that there was any physical altercation, claiming that she was booted from the team based solely on a dad’s “assumptions.”
    …
    Medlock, whose real name is Averie Chanel Satchell, claimed she and the other girl, identified only as Karleigh, had an ongoing dispute that boiled over, prompting her teammate to call her father and claim she choked her.

    Medlock then told officers she didn’t put her hands on Karleigh, but she was later cited for assault by physical contact…

    The Even Bigger Fucking Moron seems to think that an entire cheerleading squad watch all of this unfold and none of them thought to turn on the cell phone camera surgically implanted between their breasts.

    Dude’s a liar. And has shitty eyebrows.

    Seems there was an awful lot of constitutionally protected activity during the observed portion of The Wuhan pandemic that our various governments had no trouble intruding into in order to prevent or restrict. Remember the prohibition of gatherings for church services, weddings, funerals, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron? The government made those activities its business.

    If the government can restrict those activities, it should be able to restrict social distancing violations in a single alley in San Francisco, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron. There’s no difference in the concept; only differences are in the relative intimacy of the activities.

    “Prolonged skin-to-skin contact and possibly through sexual transmission, although skin-to-skin contact is the main thing,” Chin-Hong added. “So that’s large. In terms of medium, that will be prolonged kissing through saliva, but it requires hours. Hugging by itself, giving a high five, shaking somebody’s hand is not going result in transmission.”

    @14. So you are saying that since the Government officials have the right to shut down the Dore Alley event because of public health, the same Government officials also have the right to enforce mask mandates on church services, weddings, funerals.

    You can’t have it both ways. You were adamant government could not limit conservatives as they infected and murdered un consenting adults and children they came in contact with their COVID, so shut the fuck up about the consenting adults in the Dore Alley event or you are a partisan hypocrite.

    Lets go Darwin.

    A Republican lawyer in West Virginia argued to the legislature that child support should be abolished because men wouldn’t help women get abortions if they didn’t have to pay for raising the child.

    https://www.rawstory.com/west-virginia-republican-abortion/

    Hard to tell if this is the whackjob idea of a sole practitioner with a family law practice who represents men in divorce, custody, and support cases; or could become a trend. However, I can see how it might become a popular idea in a political party whose aim is to establish a male-dominated society that relegates women to the role of childbearers and household servantsm, with the males completely free to come and go as they choose.

    Because spreading a deadly virus into the community is everybody’s business, idiot. You claim to be a doctor, but don’t know how infectious diseases work?

    If you don’t want the government interfering with Republicans’ “constitutional right” to infect each other, then sequester them so they don’t infect others.

    Yes, I have internment camps in mind, but a less harsh version of the concentration camps that Republicans want to put liberals in.

    38, 46,

    When a grownup has been a US Senator for three decades, chairs the Senate budget committee, and serves in Senate leadership, lots of other grownups will send lots of money to their reelection campaign whether they need it or not.

    If she were a Republican like Duncan Hunter she could spend it on hookers and blow. But she’s not a Republican. So she runs ads.

  50. 50

    Patty Murray will win by double digits plus plenty more digits to spare.

    She’s spending because 1) she’s got the money 2) she hasn’t been in the news much lately

    and

    3) Schumer has not been an effective Senate majority leader. My guess is that he might have some competition should he find himself running for Senate Minority Leader later this Fall. Murray may be raising her profile for that possibility as well. She’d be far less likely to try it if the Dems hold the Senate.

    4) Cantwell was on NPR this morning. Patty Murray can’t be overshadowed by an even more useless woman.

    Alex Jones is on the radio this week bragging that by declaring bankruptcy last Friday his appeal bond on the inevitable huge judgment he is facing will be massively reduced to only one half of what the bankruptcy court concludes his remaining net worth to be.

    With a massively reduced net worth he’ll be able to easily front the appeal bond with click-bait, and dick-pill promo code money from now until forever.

    Genius, right?

    Except for the fact that all he did on Friday was file a petition.
    Bankruptcy is granted by a judge in response to a petition. His petition hasn’t even been considered by a court yet, and he’s already on the radio declaring to his judge (whoever that turns out to be) that his petition is fraudulent. Any judge as offended by Jones as his own jury appears to be could very well deny the petition. But at the very least this is going to tie up that petition for a lengthy investigation and series of hearings to inform the court about the reasons behind the petition.

    He didn’t make it in.

    Steve, why aren’t you upset about what the guy who was arrested after getting out of the Uber in front of AJ Brett Kavanaugh’s house had planned? After all, he had a firearm with him, and planned to kill three SCOTUS justices.

    Joe Biden advised against Osama bin Laden raid, Barack Obama writes

    Joe Biden advised Barack Obama to wait to order the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, the former president writes in his new memoir.

    “Joe weighed in against the raid,” Obama writes in A Promised Land, about discussion of the Navy Seals mission, which he ordered to go ahead as intended in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on the night of 1-2 May 2011.

    “Hey, Barack, wait until somebody gets the chance to warn him.”

  87. 87

    @77 Far more embarrassing is GOP President Bush metamorphosis on the subject of killing Osama bin Laden, a task he ultimately left to his successor:

    “The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.” – G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

    “I want justice…There’s an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive,'” – G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI

    “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” – G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

    “I am truly not that concerned about him.” – G.W. Bush, responding to a question about bin Laden’s whereabouts,
    3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)

  94. 94

    Biden, knowing Republicans would call him a baby-killer if one of al-Zawahiri’s grandkids was harmed, was deeply involved in months of planning that included a model of the house, and repeatedly insisted that no one else be touched. No one was. It was a perfect operation.

    “There’s a million things you could object to, and they’re all sustained.”

  105. 105

    Jones’ atty def facing sanctions for his conduct.

    Of course sanctions can be appealed. And Texas is notoriously permissive with attorney misconduct. But the dude is really piling up a record here. If the judge wants to put the asswipe on trial after this, and she says she will, the purpose will be to create a full and detailed record of this attorney’s disregard for the Texas rules of civil procedure and evidence as well as deliberately disparaging statements and comments about the plaintiffs. There’s a lot there. And with a full enough record, the Texas supremes will have no real option to stay all of the sanctions she might impose.

    And yet despite this being fairly obvious now, and despite multiple warnings from the bench, my dude just keeps right on punching himself in the face.

    These guys are nuts. Republicans. And quite obviously insane.

    Wehner seems to be attempting to blame the extreme rightward, authoritarian shift of his party on “corrupt liberals” abetted by Trump.

    Bullshit.

    This is and has been the fundamental weakness from the get-go of Never-Trump. They simply will not face what they have become. Not Trump. Not “elites”. But what Republican voters have become. The over two-thirds of Republican voters who still believe that Trump won the 2020 election can not be blamed on “elite disregard for flyover Americans” or on AOC.

    This is not a top-down phenomenon. It’s bottom-up. And it emerges from a diversity of sources, concentrated in the lives and communities of generally older white people who didn’t attend school after graduating HS. It’s the long latent yet virulent racism of white boomers. It’s the fear, resentment, and victimhood inculcated in the weekly rituals of evangelical mega-churches. And it’s the self-soothing lies promising that simple, but lazy pieties and “common sense” can substitute for hard-won expertise and disciplined critical thinking. And fuckers like Peter Wehner are just as responsible for it as Steven Bannon. Both pander to, and monetize human weakness and fear. They just go about it differently.

  110. 110

    107. Wehner seems to be attempting to blame the extreme rightward, authoritarian shift of his party on “corrupt liberals” abetted by Trump.

    Where? We didn’t read the same article. He didn’t blame anyone. I searched and he didn’t use the word liberal or AOC. I read this article as a catalog of the republican drives of hate, fear and grievance. The author described the republican hellscape, not what caused the hellscape.

    He cataloged how trump read the crowd and and stoked hate fear and grievance because that’s what the republicans were responding to. I read that as a list of how awful republicans are.

    “. I read that as a list of how awful republicans are.”

    As did I. Where I differ with Wehner and other never-Trumpers is in their analysis of how (and when, and why) Republicans became awful. And more importantly to me at least, what Democrats ought to do about it.

    Wehner sees the fundamental problem of the modern drift of the Republican party as a loss of what he calls “epistemological modesty” – that being the recognition that the problems confronted by political solutions are the most complex, and by definition will always surpass the ability and perspective of any single individual no matter how talented. Therefor, he concludes, we must collaborate and compromise.

    But I think he misses for the forest for the trees.

    Ask yourself what specific set of political policy measures would the “average” current Democratic voter put into effect tomorrow if that “average” were given that power.

    Then ask yourself the same thing about the “average” current Republican voter.

    Depending on how exhaustive you make that list, you’ll see a few sincere policy debates along the more classic partisan divide. But I also think if you’re honest you’ll see that fundamentally right now, where the “average” current Republican voters is places them decisively outside the realm of what Americans have historically agreed defines a constitutional republic. They want to build an authoritarian state and use it to suppress political dissent. They want to re-engineer electoral systems in all 50 states to limit ballot access. Where the law may serve to support that authoritarian state they want to strengthen and empower it. And where the law may serve to protect political dissent they want to dissolve it.

    Wehner and nearly every other never-Trump Republican reluctantly acknowledge this about their party’s voters. But they do so only as seldom as required. And when they do they blame outside forces, either Trump, or FOX, or “social media” or “mortgage meltdown” or “elite disregard”. And they insist that it’s recent, and therefor temporary. It’s not recent. It isn’t temporary. And even if Republicans themselves can’t or won’t confront that, Democrats absolutely must. Because understanding that changes everything about how we deal with them.

    Bipartisanship must die. Any near term future in which bipartisanship remains a shibboleth of our politics is one in which we will continue to see our rights as individuals gradually dissolved into a growing, conservative reactionary authoritarian state.

Buffeted by culture war clashes and burnout, Iowa educators have had enough and are checking out in droves, leaving the public school system depleted of teachers for the next year. More than 500 teachers resigned or retired from the Des Moines public school system this summer alone ….

    “Statewide, there are a staggering 5,400 school jobs open, according to Teach Iowa, an Hawkeye State education employment service. More than 1,600 of those openings were for teachers. …

    “The problem isn’t just in Iowa. Teachers across the country give their jobs an F grade. A national survey by the American Federation of Teachers, a union with 1.7 million members, found an 80 percent dissatisfaction rate with their positions. …

    “The Iowa State Education Association president Mike Beranek told the Des Moines Register in March that the reason for the defections is simple. ‘They’re tired,’ he told the paper. ‘This is due to them feeling exhausted and demoralized. They are seeing attacks on their profession and themselves through the legislative bills that have been presented and through various forums such as board of education meetings.'”

    Zoe Kravitz as catwoman didn’t hurt..

    And dang it turned out to be a pretty good movie.. the dark and the perpetual night and rain was as dreary as The Joker but the story kept me involved. Just as you thought it was going to end, there was yet another twist, another surprise.

    And it hammered on themes of unfathomable corruption, child abuse and vengeance.. Paul Dano does the acting turn of his life. Incredible.. Rob Pattinson’s performance is understated, Batman is a man of action, of few words. All the character actors do the talking..

    The art direction is great.. for a movie mostly shot in the dark and the rain. Enjoyed the hell out of it

    Jones and his atty are also engaging in bankruptcy fraud here.

    He and his atty executed $58 million in promissory notes to the company that supplies the dick pills he sells before filing his petition for bankruptcy. That secures that debt ahead of any trusteeship.

    Guess who owns the dick pills company?

    The low IQ Nazi traitor won’t be posting anymore comments tonight, but he can be found out in the barn crying his heart out.

    Looks like I called it. What a fucking coward.

    Smooth move by Kansas Republicans, attempting to shackle women during an election year.

    Thank God they’re fucking idiots.

    Kansas is a nice example of what may happen when states are permitted by the federal government to decide issues for themselves, as prescribed by the Constitution.

    Kansas is what AJ Alito wanted.

    Same-sex marriage anybody?

    How about a national vote to pass legislation?

    Not for the first time in their miserable lives Associate Justice GangBang and Degen are waking up hung over and confused, muttering, “But I thought she wanted it?”

    GOP makes further progress consolidating itself as the Stop the Steal party of election denial.

    The good news may be that if they all agree to shut their fat mouths, stop talking shit and give Trump all the credit he just might hold off announcing until after the mids. But he does like to be unpredictable.

    Next hearings in four weeks.

  202. 202

    Looks like when the dust settles that around two thirds of state GOP primary winners for Sec of State will be Qanon/StopTheSteal/Trumpalo.

    And a few more never-Trump incumbents will resume their careers in telemarketing.

    Wow.
    That pitch didn’t break at all.

    By my hand I acknowledge that on this date, in this place, Steve was correct about something.

    It was too early to call.

    How does one insult a guy who is too senile to understand that he’s being insulted?

    OPEC+ is set to raise oil output by a tiny 100,000 barrels per day in what analysts described as an insult to U.S. President Joe Biden after his trip to Saudi Arabia last month to persuade OPEC’s leader to pump more to help the U.S. and global economy.

    The increase, equivalent to 86 seconds of global oil demand, comes after weeks of speculation that Biden’s trip to the Middle East and Washington’s clearance of missile defence systems sales to Riyadh and the United Arab Emirates will bring in more oil.

    86 seconds isn’t even enough time for YLB to apply her lipstick.

    Have I mentioned recently that in 2024, when the GOP has only 10 Senate seats to defend, the Democrats will have to defend 23?

    This is one of them.

    Republicans Line Up to Challenge Manchin in 2024 for Sin of Being a Democrat

    In 2024, Joe Manchin will be 76 years old, and the state he represents will be even more red.

    And First Vegetable Joe Biden and Momala will have done even more damage to the nation.

    The House will be nearly enough.

    Senate looking out of reach unless something changes. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    No polling out of NV in nearly a month, tho.

    @204 Given how sensitive oil prices are to tiny changes in supply or demand, it might be enough to materially affect pump prices, which have already gone down 50 days and outside California now average under $4 a gallon.

    @209 “And First Vegetable Joe Biden and Momala will have done even more damage to the nation.”

    Every once in a while you’re hilariously unserious.

    As CNN pointed out,

    “The rejection of the measure highlighted the increasingly stark divide between the activities of Republican state lawmakers, often in legislatures gerrymandered to effectively guarantee GOP control, and the political and policy desires of American voters.”

    What happens when people live in an increasingly undemocratic society is they emasculate their rulers any way they can.

    What do Steve and Meaghan McCain have in common?

    We both only have sex with our own species. Leaves you on the outside looking in, doesn’t it?

    You’re such a fucking loser. And a low IQ Nazi traitor.
