Is I wrong to just use this to thread to figure out where to watch the Women’s World Cup? I don’t own a TV, so when I want to watch sports, I have to go out (or stream). Men’s international soccer, especially the World Cup, usually has bars open whenever. But on the women’s side, there are fewer options. So do you know of anywhere that will be hosting games, even when time zones make it tough?

The problem is, of course, that the GOP would swear fealty to Putin and raise Russia’s flag over the White House if it would only get them a SCOTUS that would allow forcing rape victims to give birth to rapist’s babies.
“Effectively what Bob Mueller said is we had evidence that he committed a crime but we couldn’t charge him because he’s the president of the United States,” Napolitano explained. “This is even stronger than the language in his report. This is also a parting shot at his soon-to-be former boss, the attorney general, because this statement is 180 degrees from the four-page statement that Bill Barr issued at the time he first saw the report.”
“Is it that bad?” host Stuart Varney remarked.
“I think so,” Napolitano replied. “Basically he’s saying the president can’t be indicted, otherwise we would have indicted him and we’re not going to charge him with a crime because there’s no forum in which for him to refute the charges, but we could not say that he didn’t commit a crime, fill in the blank, because we believe he did.”

Bravo Dumbfuck. Why do you hate America?
Yesterday’s Real Clear Politics linked to someone or something called Roger Simon who’s probably Roger Rabbit or Roger Stone in drag. Simon says that David Garrow, a respected and reliably liberal historian, has clamped shut the causation chain and evidence chains that link Martin Luther King to almost unspeakable horror. Simon implies that Seattle and every city, village, and middlesex in America will be forced to #MeToo the signs and scrub the signifiers of every MLK B(L)VD everywhere. The resistance to MLK Ways and MLK Avenues will be even more strident than toppling Robert E. Lee from Traveler or pulling down Stonewall, the general, not the cherished iconic monument to homoerotic social justice.
For liberal iconography, it’s been a bad year with no justice and no peace. Every schoolgirl remembers who she was and what she was doing when she learned about lovable communist Paul Corbin. He was Bobby Kennedy’s left-wing hit man but his hits apparently weren’t lethal, so let’s Move On. Every schoolgirl remembers Pam who became Jackie’s Huma after she became Jack Kennedy’s playmate of the year in 1958. Prim writers told us that old folks downstairs started to squeal when they were shaken out of bed, night after night, by Senator Kennedy bouncing Ms. Turnure out of the bed upstairs. Now respected and reliable leftist George Packer, loaded with lib cred from the New Yorker and The Atlantic, tells the rest of the story.
Near the middle of Packer’s 600-page pile about Richard Holbrooke, we learn that JFK went to revered fixer and Democrat con man Clark Clifford who helped Joe Kennedy fix Jack’s Pulitzer Prize. Senator Jack told lawyer Clark about a problem with old folks in Georgetown who were making noise and making trouble. It was even worse than ONI spying on Jack and Inga Binga. Clark said that shutting up and shutting down old people was a bit beyond his ambit, but he knew a Democrat activist who was very good at dirty tricks. One dark and stormy night the activist lawyer paid a visit to old folks at home. If you don’t get out of town in two weeks, he told the couple, “you will deeply regret it. In fact, if you don’t get out of town, and if we ever hear from you again, you will be dead.”
“Dead as in dead,” is how Packer ends his aria to the birth of Camelot. Dead as in dead, just to make sure that brain-dead liberals finally drop their selective amnesia and their blinders and finally get a clue.
Martin Luther King, by not cooling his Negro heels as Philip Randolph had chilled for FDR, made trouble for Kennedy and the Democrat Southern Strategy. The preferred solution to the problem of civil rights was trying to slime King as a sock puppet of the half-vast international communist conspiracy. Problem not solved. There was no proof, although King was guided by two fellow travelers who crossed the line when commie was cool. Wiretaps and electronic bugs placed on King with the approval of JFK’s kid brother, the Attorney General of the United States, found that the Reverend’s social life was even more vigorous than JFK’s. “Bobby told me of the tapes and these orgies,” said Jackie Kennedy. “I just can’t see a picture of Martin Luther King without thinking, you know, that man’s terrible.” Jackie, Oh. OMG. None dare call it bigotry, but if Trump ever spewed any spew like that we’d bust his fat ass back to Mueller so fast it would make Donald’s orange pubic hair implants fall out.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: I’m old enough to remember when most Republican candidates were essentially normal people with whom we had honest differences of opinion. What happened to those people? Well, they were driven out of the GOP, which has become a party of wastrels, scoundrels, liars, thieves, embezzlers, drug abusers, adulterers, wife beaters, rapists, child molesters, and Russian intelligence agents. Now, if you still vote Republican, that’s who (and what) you’re voting for, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

If you think a redneck red state’s dominant and domineering “news”paper has gotta be racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, Judeophobic, Barackophobic, Mexiforniaphobic, Islamophobic and truthful, do a rethink. When the New York Times dog whistles, the Redneck Statesman arfs. It’s cheaper than, you know, reporting news and it’s your redneck neighbor’s **** *** to fairness and balance.
As flyover news flies over from the Left Coast to the Other Left Coast, it sometimes forgets to trickle down to the Statesman. That happened yesterday with big headlines about the resurgence of Northwest Hate. For decades our surge of Hate was fueled by SPLC and its half-billion-dollar flush fund that made Fake Hate the only growth industry we have left.
Long long ago SP:C did some good work against the Democrat Klan and against Idaho’s right-wing Aryans, all an appreciated prelude to snuffing Randy Weaver’s wife and son at Ruby Ridge followed by Janet Reno rubbing out maybe 80 Adventist Davidians at Waco, but last month the dots connected the dots. There’s no poverty at the Poverty Center where, for decades, Fake Hate has been very big business.
Need another ton of bling? Call Hirsi Ali a hater. Call Brigitte Gabriel a hater, and David Horowitz, and Pamela Geller and — my God! — how the money rolls in. And what about Seattle’s Molly Norris, the thimble artist? Is she still hidden away in the Bigot Protection Program or is she safely interred on SPLC’s Hate list?
Last month SPLC’s scam became so blatant that even the New Yorker and the New York Times had to make a note of it, but the flyover note didn’t flutter down to the Redneck Statesman. There it was, yesterday, a resurgence of Brigitte Gabriel. SPLC says Gabriel=Hate, to there. You can take it to their bank.
On her 10th birthday Gabriel saw hate, up close and personal. The Religion of Peace dropped a bomb in her bedroom, and she barely lived to tell about. Tell it to the Redneck Statesman.

@16 “Hey Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, as long as you’re so concerned about where the lower-wage population can afford to live, maybe give some consideration to where they can afford to grab a bite to eat, too.”
You’re a doctor, and you want the poor to live on cheeseburgers and fries? You must be a Republican.
@17 The minimum wage in Topeka is still $7.25, so you can’t blame restaurant closures there on higher wages. But we can reasonably surmise that the impact of tariffs on farmers’ income could hurt local businesses there.
If somebody made Doctor Dumbfuck live on $7.25/hr. ($1256/mo.), he’d scream bloody murder. Making other people live on that is a Republican thing. Same with wars. Republicans love to start wars, but they expect other people’s children to fight and die in them. One more thing. A lot of our military personnel today are black and Hispanic; thanks for your service, but understand that if you survive and come home, Republicans don’t want you in the park or at the pool. They’ll call the cops on you.
@18 “They were both cleared by the DOJ.”
Sorry, but only one of them was. If you ever listened to real news, you would know that.
@19 This market decline has more to do with the economy. Specifically, slowing growth and falling interest rates. The yield curve inverted again this week. GDP growth could fall below 1%. Lenders are writing fewer loans, loan quality is deteriorating, and default rates are rising. The global picture is even worse; the strengthening dollar is trashing emerging economies. It sure looks like Trump isn’t going to have a strong economy to run on. Bluffing gets you only so far.
In the background, you also have corporate buybacks — a major support for the market’s high valuations — slowing down. Trade factors in, too, of course. But I think at this point the market is mostly reacting to the deteriorating economy.

Funny about Dumbfuck’s ‘logic’. By his own figures there is still one fast food restaurant in Seattle for every 38 residents, rounded.
But he’s so concerned about the working poor he’s worried about them not being able to find a place to eat.
I had lunch at a Safeway salad bar today. It was cheaper than a Quarter Pounder value meal. If I didn’t also need butter And ziplock bags I might have ended up at Taco Time right there but remember when grocery stores didn’t have a whole range of ready to eat options. Way back in 2012 when the one closest to me got remodeled.

If the Democrats of the House of Representatives want to impeach Trump, then it’s time for them to stop talking and start the impeachment process.
@65 And if the evidence shows Trump committed impeachable offenses, it’s also time for Republican Senators to uphold their oaths of office and perform their constitutional duty.
At this point, it appears the House Democrats are a lot more willing to defend the Constitution and the rule of law than the Senate Republicans are.
66 – The House can impeach, but the Senate conducts the trial. Given that the Senate is controlled by the Republicans, it’s unlikely Trump will be removed from office via the impeachment process.
67 – But the House should proceed with the process to show they are sincere about it all.
68,
Since every single living Republican voter supports Senate GOP obstruction and conspiracy, and since the GOP Senate is utterly unwilling to try any evidence of crimes by this President, it makes little sense for Democrats committed to defending the Constitution and the rule of law to follow any timetable other than that most certain to result in Republican defeat at the polls.
And since your president with their support is so far refusing to comply with lawful subpoenas for most of that evidence it makes sense for now to wait out the stall clock. You idiots and your president fartbag are like that dumb kid at recess who thinks he can avoid his beating by running away. The bell will ring, dumbshit. Just like it always does. We’ll see ya then.

Apparently the GOP rageTweet president spent more time yelling insults at the media yesterday afternoon following the Special Counsel press statement than the Special Counsel spent delivering the statement. So now he hates the Special Counsel again.
Which really begs the question: why did he bring Mueller in, and after several extensive interviews, select him to be the Special Counsel in the first place?
Remember folks. We are, even now after two years of all this, still solidly in #owngoal territory here. So far in the last couple of months Democrats have merely issued subpoenas that have gone ignored. Everything else in all these corruption investigations have been 100% #owngoal.
The Trump White House allowed Sesh to recuse, authorized Rosenstein to appoint the Special Counsel, and approved Mueller’s selection. Everything we have seen so far has been a 100% GOP show. We have only seen what we were intended to see by the people engaging in the coverup.

“A Republican consultant involved in the Trump administration’s plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census believed that adding the question would pave the way for redistricting that would increase the political power of ‘Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites,’ according to explosive documents revealed in federal court Thursday.
“The consultant, Thomas Hofeller, ghostwrote at least portions of what would later become the Justice Department’s formal request to add the citizenship question to the census, according to the court documents. The civil rights and immigration advocacy groups that oppose adding the citizenship question to the census and are suing to block it argue that the Trump administration added the question in order to dilute the political power of Democrats and minorities. The documents they filed in court Thursday are the closest they’ve found to a smoking gun.”

Huh. What’s stopping Planned Parenthood from just keeping the clinic open to do the other 97% of non-abortion related services they claim to provide?
81,
As far as the Republican Party goes, I honestly don’t see how that is supposed to be a criticism.
As in so many other very well documented ways, the Republican Party noticed and took advantage of a particular method to improve their chances of winning elections. And they were not the least bit concerned about the “ethics” or “morality” of that method. There’s nothing particularly new about that. That “tradition” goes back many decades. And it is widely supported among Republican voters.
Whether it’s depriving poor people, young people, or minorities of their voting rights, creating a vast and sweeping incarceral industrial complex, systematically obstructing efforts to expand and secure voting, or conspiring with foreign spies to tamper with campaigns and elections, it’s all the same thing. This is not a new thing. This is not a different thing. It is the same old thing. It’s who they are and who they have been for a very long time now.
And in a way he’s right. We really all should move on. It’s time to get over the surprise about something that’s been going on right in front of us for decades. At what point does it cease to be newsworthy when one fundamentally despicable and corrupt Republican out of 63 million suddenly lifts his face from the endless feed trough, looks around, and cries out in shock; “My God! The Rape Cage Party is suddenly filled with Cage Rapists!”?
It’s time for all of us to move on. This is who they are.
This really is “the status quo” for Republicans.
@85 “What’s stopping Planned Parenthood from just keeping the clinic open to do the other 97% of non-abortion related services they claim to provide?”
Nothing. They are. If the St. Louis abortion clinic closes, PP will still have 11 clinics providing non-abortion health services in Missouri.

Yawn.. The loon has not returned. That’s the Hate-Crazed Name Morphing Troll (HNMT)… A former 60’s lefty turned foaming, spittle-flying always wrong wing nutcase.

If you enjoy taking health insurance away from little kids, you’re probably a Republican.

“The consultant, Thomas Hofeller, ghostwrote at least portions of what would later become the Justice Department’s formal request to add the citizenship question to the census, according to the court documents. ”
When a republican dies, sometimes, sometimes, their evil-doing is exposed and stopped in its tracks.
If someone parks a rental car on your private property, and you ask the rental company to remove it and they don’t, it seems to me you’re entitled to charge them a daily parking fee.

Gov. Sisolak vetoes bill seeking to negate Electoral College
In a statement, Sisolak said that joining other states in approving the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact “could diminish the role of smaller states like Nevada in national electoral contests and force Nevada’s electors to side with whoever wins the nationwide popular vote, rather than the candidate Nevadans choose.”
AB186 is the first bill approved by the Democrat-controlled Legislature to be vetoed by the Democratic governor.

Lemme know when y’all HA libbies get to 270. ’twas tougher than Hillary thought, too.
SB 870 passed out of rules to the floor vote schedule this week, Dumbfuck.
Wanna know how I know exactly what kind of
degenerate gambler“investor” you are? In a system of purely binary outcomes consisting of either “we win” or “you lose”, you celebrate the near misses. I bet you’re fun driving home from the bar after closing.It took twelve years to get NPV out of the Oregon Senate. Nevada is just getting started. You keep right on driving home drunk on the back roads. My money is on the ditch coming out the winner.
Somebody remind me to ask YLB to check his database and tell me how many times Doctor Dumbfuck has mentioned Hillary in a comment. I have a hunch it’s over 30,000 now. Not that I’m saying there’s anything pathological about the doctor’s behavior, mind you! Heh. You know me. I’m not the type to go there.
@ 101
While you’re at it, YLB, check how many times Steve has mentioned Putin in a comment. Not that there’s anything pathological about his behavior, mind you! It will self-correct sometime after noon on January 20, 2025.
@ 100
Nevada is just getting started.
Er, Nevada got started a decade ago, QoS McHillbilly.
On April 21, 2009, the Nevada Assembly passed the National Popular Vote bill (AB 413).

“While you’re at it, YLB, check how many times Steve has mentioned Putin in a comment.”
I imagine I’ve mentioned Putin a lot, Doctor, seeing as how these days the executive branch of our government and the senate majority party are more loyal to Russia than they are to America. And that’s not to mention the thousands of pro-Putin hashtags appearing in these threads.
Hell, even back in 2014 I was talking about how you people wanted to be ruled with Putin’s iron fist up your ass. Sad, that you had to settle for his orange stooge. But if your orange moron keeps meeting in private with Putin to give him head, you may yet get your wish and see Russia’s flag waving over our nation’s capitol.
96,
Don’t get your hopes up.
While the motion in the lower court will probably result in sanctions for the administration perverts who testi-lied before the court, it’s not only possible that the SCOTUS may ignore the Hofeller files, they may have already ruled in conference. Still, it is possible at least one of the five might conjure up a sense of moral common sense at the last minute. Not likely. But possible.
Perhaps of greater impact will be what the files may have to say about dozens of Child Molester gerrymander challenges throughout the US.
Hofeller’s expertise was primarily in developing racial gerrymander maps. And the irony, at least when compared to the census question case, is that while partisan animus is perfectly lawful in drawing up district maps, racial animus is not. Hofeller and his fellow travelers acquired considerable nuance over the years in finding ways to justify blatantly racist maps in partisan terms. So they may have thought nothing of characterizing their census work in terms of partisan bias, even as the Commerce Dept. goons scrambled to clean it up.
But 75,000 files detailing the complex statistical methods and the exact reason for utilizing those methods may have enormous potential for tossing out gerrymander maps from North Carolina to Texas. Historically, one of the greatest legal challenges to overcoming partisan gerrymanders has been the burden on the challenger to show racial animus. Hofeller’s files provide a direct nexus between the statistical methodology and the underlying racial animus.
It’s another… #owngoal
Bob your shit smells like roses…..unbelievable! How do you keep it smelling so fresh!?
Oh by the way currently the DJIA is exactly where it was 1 1/2 years ago. Fake News! 27,000!!!!
Yes! The Democrats, should they win the White House and Senate in 2020, are 100% justified in packing the Supreme Court in light of Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell’s brazen hypocrisy. If Republicans are going to fight dirty, then Democrats have to fight dirty, too. Fuck ’em, they’ve earned a big fat payback.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Then they should get off their fucking asses and do something about it. Until they do, they and their party have zero credibility on issues like patriotism and rule of law.

Maybe we’ll get to see Doctor Dumbfuck celebrate the DJIA going over 25,000. Again. Maybe.
@102 Why shouldn’t we talk about how Putin hand-picked the current POTUS, and his kowtowing to Moscow? Oh, we know how badly you Republicans want to sweep all of this under the rug. After all, what cockroach likes sunlight? And you guys are a nest of cockroaches. Think of us as the disinfectant. That’s essentially what we do here on HA, i.e. we scrub the earth clean of your disgusting droppings to keep this place inhabitable.
Can we impeach trolls for same?

@105 “partisan animus is perfectly lawful in drawing up district maps”
That cuts two ways. It’s high time Democrats do unto them what they’ve done to us. If it’s legal for them, we can do it, too.
@112 Why would we want to impeach our trolls, when we already have a troll shortage? God forbid we should get one with a gram of brains, because then we’d have to work harder to abuse them. Our mission is making their lives miserable. These trolls are easy. You should appreciate what we have, and enjoy it while it lasts.
