The Mariners are slumping and The Sounders are not very good right now. And there’s a group of Seattle sports fans who are in the dumps. But OMGosh, y’all. Seattle has something special in sports right now and so many of you are missing it.
The Storm are having an amazing season. They’ve poised to get a bye in the first round of the WNBA playoffs. Jewell Loyd and Breanna Stewart are great. Sue Bird is having a renaissance.
And holy goodness, the Reign. Second place in the NWSL. Megan Rapinoe is a walking highlight reel, and the whole team are such fun to watch.
The only time I’m a sports fan is when I’m being chased by a hungry fox. Then I become a track star.

The Editor in Chief of the publication that broke the VA Mar a Lago story Roger Rabbit linked to yesterday has announced his resignation.
It comes after the publisher came down on his reporters not for any innacuravies in the report but because it was embarrassing to publisher’s friends and acquaintances.

“White House national security adviser John Bolton said Tuesday North Korea has done little to denuclearize, nearly two months after the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, met with President Donald Trump. ‘The United States has lived up to the Singapore declaration,’ Bolton said during an interview on ‘Fox and Friends.’ ‘It’s just North Korea that has not taken the steps we feel are necessary to denuclearize.'”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Truer words were never spoken. The last thing Republicans want is for urban voters to be represented in Congress, state legislatures, or other legislative bodies. They firmly believe that people from counties with population densities of 3 or less per square mile possess the immutable wisdom of the ages. If open carry is good enough for Foard County, Texas, with its population of 1,336, then it’s good enough for Franklin County and Columbus! Urban voters just mess up the agenda with their demands for mass transit, health clinics, parks and recreation, and other wasteful spending; they enact zoning regulations against pig farms and cattle feedlots, and don’t even let you keep a pet rooster in your backyard! Urban voters are a nuisance who should be ignored.
6,
The Franklin Co. precincts are normally about thirty percent of the vote in OH-12. This time they were thirty five percent.
And they are essentially affluent suburban precincts, wrapping around Columbus to the north and east, just outside the I-270 ring. It’s cul-de-sacs, golf courses, tennis courts, parks, lakes, and malls.
Balderson was giving the finger to Republicans.

That’s enough for her to cast a suspicious eye toward the furor over Russian interference, campaign collusion and whatever allegations may await the president she backed in 2016. ‘They think Putin is playing him,’ said Musial, a 66-year-old retiree from Canadensis, Pennsylvania. ‘I think Trump is playing him a little bit. … That’s the gut feeling I’ve had: Everyone’s got it all backwards.'”

Well, they are Republicans. So statistically out of 200,000 people who went to the polls it’s pretty certain that a thousand or so were drunk, another four to five thousand were unable to read the ballot, and at least a thousand just got in line thinking it was another Kevin James movie.
Chances are pretty good that a few thousand of the votes for O’Connor were mistakes.

If I were Mexico, I would bomb Texas, but that’s just me thinking out loud. Maybe the court had similar thoughts and is trying to prevent a war.
The Trump administration is going beyond deporting illegals, denying asylum, and erecting new barriers to legal immigration. They’ve set up a task force to investigate naturalized citizen and potentially strip them of their U.S. citizenship. This was done by past administrations in a few isolated cases — most prominently, Nazi war criminals who concealed their past to gain U.S. admittance. But the Trump task force appears to be gearing up to denaturalize immigrant-citizens on a wholesale basis — and gays who concealed their sexual orientation to avoid discrimination during the naturalization process could become a prime target of Trump’s denaturalization program.

If more women were sports fans and shelled out for tickets, then it would be significant. No matter how much the Sounders or Mariners sucks does not matter. They will pay their star players probably more than what the entire team and couch of the Storm are paid. Men may like going tot he game but they accused of being perverts and more interested in the jiggle than the game. Unfortunately the Astros are now living up to expectations. the Mariners are 8 games out so they are not out of it. Whether the Mariners make it to the World Series the World Series will be a bigger fish in the market than the WNBA. (If the WNBA were a thing the women’s team would have snuck out of town with the men’s team to a bigger market.)
@3 John Bolton has always been a man on the side of peace and truth. (Iraq, not the droids you are looking for.)
@10 Still doing better than the Mariners. It is August and the Republicans are competitive. Democrats are going to win some house seats. The Republicans could gain seats in the Senate. When you push this blue wave narrative, and the wave is more like a splash then the Republicans remain in charge. And Democrats may finally ask what it is going to take to win. And I don’t think we in blue land Washington state…coastal protection zone of the endangered liberal, have much to add to the conversation, as we are kissing our own corporate Democrats ass, because they control the process, and even when 75% support Bernie a super delegate will dictate we are for Hilliary…maybe Biden,

Oh, Cathy, Cathy, Cathy,
You invited Devin Nunez to keynote a private fundraiser and at that fundraiser he admitted that if GOP holds into house they will impeach Rosenstein and the only reason they don’t do it now is to advance the Kavanaugh nomination and not burden the Senate with an impeachment trial.
Nunez went on to say that if Seelssions won’t I refuse and firemRosensten the only thing that can save 45 s imoeachment. In other words, “We know he did it and we need to keep the house or there will be a real oversight investigation and then we’re all dead.”
And it was caught on tape. And now it’s out there. And now you get to answer questions about it. How’s that slim lead feel this evening?
So far, “No Comment” from McMorris Rogers though she has been asked.
@30 As she’s 16th in the line of succession, if enough Republicans go to prison, we’d have President Betsy DeVos on our hands. Of course, that’s if the world survives #13 Ben Carson and #15 Rick Perry.
@6 I think RR is being very disingenuous here. if you are a politician from either party in Whatcom county of course you run against Seattle and Olympia even if you spend time going to parties and fund raisers in those places. If you are a politician in Spokane you run against all of Western Washington. In both cases you loose if you do not, get too associated with Seattle or Olympia and that is the curse of death even for incumbents.
It has little to do with the urban/rural divide, As it is the differences between Ballard and south Seattle does enough to dilute urbanites supposed power and how and who they should vote for or their interests, it is not a solid block the urbanites, and weakened by suburbanites. Perhaps RR is dreaming of a political machine in Seattle able to dictate to Olympia,,,,Seattle does do that from time to time and usually gets reminded Seattle is just one corporate municipal among many in Washington state.
So folks feeling good about being protected from Alex Jones performance art?
35,
Why the fuck do they have to impeach Rosenstein?
Seriously?
There isn’t a single credible con law expert living who debates the President’s authority to fire a DAG. Appointing a replacement may require the Senate. But that’s got nothing to do with removing him.
Is PornSweat really this big of a pussy? He has to negotiate with 237 inconsequential insurance salesmen and car alarm installers to get them to do his dirty work for him? And then they have to manage “the timing”?

So last night I had some things to say about Dino’s position in the 5th And the late breaking ballots backed me up.

Now it’s
D- 58,032 votes
R+everyone not D – 56,871 votes
More king county ballot drops coming. D votes in the primary are now 50.49%

It’s an even worse look when you spend all your free time screaming about voter fraud.
@48 It’s called “fixing the facts to the policy.” The policy, in this case, being to elect Trump’s voting rights hatchet man governor of a state regardless of what the voters decide.
In other “fixing the facts to the policy” news, it’s now obvious that Devin Nunes’ so-called hearings were never anything more than part of a partisan coverup of Trump’s now-admitted Russia collusion, the policy being to protect Trump no matter how guilty he, his family, and his campaign aides are:
“In a newly leaked audio recording, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, a California Republican, suggests that his party needs to retain control of the House of Representatives to protect President Donald Trump from special counsel Robert Mueller.
“‘If Sessions won’t un-recuse and Mueller won’t clear the President, we’re the only ones, which is really the danger … we have to keep all these seats,’ Nunes can be heard saying on a recording from a private fundraiser ….
“The remarks appear to be a blunt assessment from Nunes, a top Trump ally in Congress who Democrats accuse of trying to help the White House with the Russia probe, that Republicans must keep their House majority in the midterm elections to shield Trump from the special counsel investigation.”

We could have a D-D general in CD-2 as well. Sort of pitiful when second place is just 7.63% for Collin Carlson (D). The only supposed R to file was Michael Shanks — now Uncle Mover instead of Mike the Mover, who called his party “Moderate GOP” and who is at just 7.33%. Amazing for CD-2 to have less than half the R strength of CD-7, where Craig Keller (R) is pulling 17.85%.
Looks like a lot of GOP held legislative seats are in play for November, with tons of GOP incumbents below 50% (even when other R sounding candidates are added in to the totals).

But the more they uncover, the more they have to charge. He needs to get himself a lawyer familiar with the guidelines and the most favorable FCIs. He’s going to do time. It’s just a question of how hard that time will be.
Many economists predicted the GOP’s wacky tax cuts would stimulate inflation. They were right.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: The average American will be worse off from that $1.5 trillion of debt, because higher prices will eat up his trivial tax cut, and higher interest rates will push the economy into recession, costing workers their jobs.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Trump’s Economic Miracle (Reg. TM) is down 165 points this morning.

Don’t let child molesting Roypublican traitors bait you into their framing.
The difference between the more progressive Berniecrat wing and the Third Way/DLC wing comes down to economic policy proposals, regardless of race and class. But not only is there nothing wrong with tying economic policy to conversations about race and class, it’s actually the right thing to do to win persuadable voters.
Forget about apologizing/explaining to Crazy Uncle Freedumb choke-fapping himself into a racist frenzy over there in the corner, worrying about mythical invasions of penniless Ecuadoran gangsters. PornSweat Roypublicans really are deplorable. And most importantly unreachable. Nor should we want to reach them. They happily sold their national allegiance to filthy starving Moldovan script-kids in exchange for permission to tell racist jokes in the lunchroom. America is better without them.
Persuadable voters are not with them on the toddler torture, the trade wars, the Nazi support, the Russian treason, the white nationalism, the finger rape, the rawdogging of sticky porn stars, and the gutting health care. Traditional Democratic support for progressive economic policies has always been hugely popular. But guess what? Including race and class considerations into those policies are even more popular with the voters who can be reached, so long as it is done right.
This dial survey completed over the past year by Demos shows that the voters Democrats need to reach and flip are more responsive to economic appeals when they are coupled with inclusive race and class rhetoric. As an authoritarian white nationalist party, Roypublicans are now permanently wedded to the negative, divisive, racist rhetoric that embodies the PornSweat revolution. Countering the racist hate with inclusive messaging emphasizing diversity in combination with progressive economic policy draws persuadable voters away from loonatics like Piddles ranting about Lucifer and calling more than half of all voters “SCUM”.

It’s not just the little guy. Don’t forget about “affluent” “aggrieved” Medicare frauds and tax cheating Trump voters.
To hold on to their political gains they are going to have to open up their checkbooks and write lots and lots of $2700 checks.
How many “tanks full of gas” is that, I wonder?
The time has come to call Fox a racist network:
“The Fox News audience is almost 100% white, according to Nielsen. And on the channel’s highest-rated shows, the politics of white anxiety play out practically every day, as hosts and guests warn about the impacts of immigration and minimize or mock the perspectives of people of color.”

I sure hope the loon is careful when he gets together with his white supremacist friends tonight and avoids eye contact! They’ve got lynching on their minds.

Poor Laura Ingraham is nonplussed because “racist freaks” (her words) are gleefully endorsing her racist rant.

@90 She sounds like an immigrant to me. Why hasn’t she been deported?

Mrs Knavs perhaps?
Oh, the tragedy of “chain migration”.
Fraud on her initial visa applications, ICE ordered to look the other way, conspiracy with foreign espionage agents and now racist swatting attacks on honest, hard working public servants.
Sad.
Looks like the guy who started the 10,000 acre Holy fire in Riverside is a close friend of Piddles.
“Based on his social media pages, Clark is a sovereign citizen who believes in just about every kooky conspiracy out there, including QAnon, Pizzagate, Jade Helm 15, flat earth theories, NESARA, Jesuit conservancies, shape-shifting lizard overlords. You name it, he believes it.”

79 – Sure, they were voting for free stuff.
Or at least what they perceived to be free.
It made a recession into a depression.
The last recorded recession before the crash of ’29 ended two years prior.
These people should not be allowed to vote. They are simply too stupid and lazy. Since they are allowed to vote, we must work harder to outnumber them before they destroy our country any further and witlessly sell more of our sovereignty off to foreign dictators for lulz.
