Open Thread Friday, October 9

by — ,

I listened to the gubernatorial debate while doing dishes. Now, a day late, here’s my impressions.

Jay Inslee was a bit off his game on a few issues. Western State Hospital desertification in particular. But he was pretty good overall.

Culp was something else. From flirting with conspiracy theories about the wildfires to saying he would have sent the National Guard with guns to the East Precinct protest, Culp was scary. Please don’t vote for him.

And please do wash your hands right now.

    Barr indicates Dunham report wont be ready prior to election?

    Are they trying to play the card after the election, as a reason to discredit a Biden/Harris victory? Sew doubt about whether the votes should matter?

    If Biden wins in November, he should resist the idea of packing the Supreme Court. That action will not be helpful.

    ” … [T]he GOP is watching Democrats … turn states previously seen as safe for Republicans into heavily contested battlegrounds. … [T]he solidly Republican states of Alaska, Kansas and South Carolina are now places for Democrats to pad their majority …. A top GOP operative … said large donations from major Republican donors were keeping races competitive.”

    Wait, what? Alaska and Kansas are in play? And note “large donations” from “major donors” are keeping besieged GOP senators afloat. Might as well put “Senator” in front of those billionaires’ names, because if these GOP senators survive, they’ll be employees, if they aren’t already.

    @12 There sure are. Especially when you have no choice. Now, I’m not saying that was your reason. I’m only sayin’ …

    @13 That action will be very helpful to ensure future presidential elections are decided by 130-150 million people instead of 6 people.

    You see, Tom, when an unpopular radical minority faction seeks to seize power by gaming the system, instead of winning power at the ballot box, you must expect the majority to take whatever actions are necessary to preserve their right of self-government.

    Republicans went too far in letting the president of their party engage in loose talk of being president-for-life, defying election results, usurping Congress, and putting himself above the law or simply brushing the law aside.

    You should be able to see why, under the circumstances, the majority feels it necessary to defend themselves. Merrick Garland deserves a seat on the Supreme Court, and if Republicans won’t let him have one, Democrats will create one for him.

    Seven justices. Bush v. Gore was a 7-2 decision by the US Supreme Court.

    As Scalia said, “not even close”.

    The unemployment rate when Obama left office…..4.7%. What is it today, now that all the coal jobs have come back?

    Steve,

    I thought Bob had a horse to go fuck or blow?

    Bob – What you doing back so soon? Was it just a diaper change that you needed? 9:29 you wanted to be excused…and at 10:00 am you are back?

    @19 Let’s say Biden wins Pennsylvania by 13%, his Quinnipiac poll lead there a couple days ago. Now let’s say the gerrymandered Pennsylvania legislature rejects the popular vote and sends a Trump slate of electors to the House of Representatives, which rejects that slate of electors, and the Supreme Court reinstates it by a 5-4 vote breaking along partisan lines, with the single conservative justice with a conscience and a concern for the integrity of the court voting against this baldfaced usurpation of the people’s right to self-government. To defend that, you’ll fall back on Bush v. Gore?

    Different facts, different results, doc. This isn’t Florida 2000. This isn’t hanging chads, or an election decided by 200 votes. This is an unpopular radical minority faction that’s about to get its ass handed to it by the voters attempting to replace the republic with what amounts to a dictatorship that can’t be voted out of office. I doubt Bush v. Gore will work very well for defending that. The facts are different.

    Wherein Donnie Jr. calls Biden a “coward” and gets this in return:

    Biden has a son who risked his life in service to the United States of America. Donald Trump has a son who … is you. ‘Nuff said.

    If Trump becomes king, and this is the crown prince who succeeds him, it won’t be the first monarchy that came to a quick end because the monarch’s offspring was an idiot.

    Another terrorist is off the streets. Yay for law enforcement!

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/09/politics/boogaloo-arrest-maryland/index.html

    Too bad he didn’t resist arrest.

    “The FBI determined Perry’s suspected adherence to the Boogaloo movement based on information listed on his Facebook page, as well as from a sticker on his vehicle, an FBI agent wrote in a search warrant affidavit.”

    Hey! Look at me! I’m a terrorist! I’m a felon in possession of firearms! (yard sign on lawn says “terrorist” with arrow pointing at house; pickup and car in driveway have TERROR1 and TERROR2 vanity plates)

    “There have been at least 20 bills to increase, or decrease, the size of supreme courts in 11 states over the past decade, according to a new study by Duke University law professor Marin K. Levy. The vast majority of them have been by Republicans, and attempts have been on the rise compared to decades past.

    “Legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Iowa, South Carolina and Louisiana have all tried to add justices, while Montana, Oklahoma, Washington, Alabama and Pennsylvania have tried to remove some. Republicans drove the changes in all those states over the past decade, aside from Democratic pushes in Louisiana and Alabama.

    “Two of those attempts, in Arizona and Georgia, were successful. In both cases, the GOP controlled the legislature and the GOP governor had significant power to appoint the judges he wanted to the court.”

    NYT follow up.

    Donald made a boatload of money in 2016 from odd sources that ran through a shell company.

    The tax records, by their nature, do not specify whether the more than $21 million in payments from the Trump-Ruffin hotel helped prop up Mr. Trump’s campaign, his businesses or both. But they do show how the cash flowed, in a chain of transactions, to several Trump-controlled companies and then directly to Mr. Trump himself.

    The bulk of the money went through a company called Trump Las Vegas Sales and Marketing that had little previous income, no clear business purpose and no employees. The Trump-Ruffin joint venture wrote it all off as a business expense.

    He could make this all go away. He’s got the documents, allegedly. They prove he didn’t evade taxes. He told you. Good enough, right?

    I just realized that the misogynists and the anti-autism forces of the Nobel Committee have, once again, disrespected Greta Thunberg by giving the Peace Prize to, um, an entity that deserves it.

    Donald is too sick and scared to debate.

    Note:
    TEAM TRUMP WOULD NOT AGREE TO INCREASED COVID-19 SAFETY.

    Remember when it was Joe Biden who was going to pull out and was too feeble to handle it.

    They didn’t give it to Jessie Hagopian either but he’s also been invited to speak at more National conferences and sold more books in the last two years that you have.

    Really must bother you that a teenage girl is admired by so many.

    Reaction from the Biden campaign:

    It’s shameful that Donald Trump ducked the only debate in which the voters get to ask the questions — but it’s no surprise. Everyone knows Donald Trump likes to bully reporters, but obviously he doesn’t have the guts to answer for his record at the same time as Vice President Biden.”

    It’s the Friday news dump.

    Have a look see at polling on support for mask mandates…

    The CDC drafted a sweeping order last month requiring all passengers and employees to wear masks on all forms of public and commercial transportation in the U.S., but it was blocked by the White House, according to federal health officials.

    Dori Monson has been suspended indefinitely by Bonneville Seattle from hosting the Seahawks’ pregame and postgame radio shows after a tweet he sent mocking transgender people, The Seattle Times has confirmed.

    He was a true jerk when I lived in seattle, I see he has not changed. Reads like they were looking for reason to can him, and he gave it to them.

    Non-Demented Joe Biden-Einstein Calls For Jihad Against Trump.
    ————————-
    The former Obama Vice President called for Muslim voters to wage Jihad while attacking the police.
    On July 21, 2020, Democrat Joe Biden met with a group of Muslims on a Zoom call. The call was with Emgage which is a front for CAIR and others. It is an Islamic organization which wants to generate one million votes for Biden for President.
    It appears that Biden made it up from his basement and did the call from his backyard. During the call, Biden quoted the Prophet Mohammad and said this:
    The prophet Mohammad, said, whoever among you sees evil, let him change it with his hand. If he is unable to do so, then with his tongue. If he is unable to do so, then with his heart.
    This a call for Jihad in the Muslim faith.

    46,
    Cunningham would struggle through a dozen lifetimes to even come close to the guy you voted to make president.

    Call back as soon as you have him on tape bragging to complete strangers about beating up women and grabbing their genitals.
    Then fax us the dozens of NDAs and canceled hush-money checks.

    Asking for The First Lady… on tape.

    54,
    …want the party…

    Trump is the party.

    And the way the finances are structured, everything goes through Parscale, and now Stepien. That’s why all the spending was immediately reduced right after the audit was ordered and Parscale was fired. Parscale was over spending in order to cover for how much he was stealing. This is how the party built itself this year, with Trump in control of all the spending. But then Brad got caught and now both he and his boss have gone insane.

    The “strategists” are mostly just upset that there isn’t enough money to go around. Too much was wasted on canceled events, big ad buys in places where Rapepublicans don’t vote, and giant salaries for Trump’s family and for Parscale. But they had their chance. We offered them Pence/Haley. They turned it down and went with this mess, convinced that they would all become “incredibly rich” just like Trump.

    In a way they weren’t wrong.

  57. 57

    Also, not for nothing, we should all stop pimping groups like RVAT and Lincoln, etc.

    I give some credit to Lincloln Project for eventually putting some responsibility and effort into recognizing that it’s the party itself, its voters, its members in the House and Senate, who are to blame for Trump. Republicans going after Trump only moves you on to the next Trump waiting in line.

    I need to see them going after fake “bi-partisan” “moderates” like Mitt Romney and Susan Collins and the hooting baboon mob of unhinged racist assholes they cater to in their primaries. Without that they are still the enemy trying to kill and feed off American democracy.
