We’re less than a month away from the new legislature meeting. It’s going to be less liberal than we thought on election night, but still pretty solid Democratic majorities.

So, what should we push for?

I think it’s going to be COVID-19 related. We are going to have to figure out how to make sure that there isn’t an eviction crisis once the moratorium is lifted. That probably means at a minimum making sure that unemployment stays funded no matter what the Federal government does.

It would also be nice if we could figure out ways to not blow up the budget. Generally, the more progressive the taxation, the better. I can understand if legislators don’t want a fight over the income tax to delay getting the money. But I hope funding wouldn’t just be more sales or sin taxes.

And please wash your hands right now.

    Push for sanctioning and removing every single Republican.
    Embargo every single one of their bills in committee.
    Limit their floor testimony and eliminate their committee testimony.
    Reduce their staff and office expense.
    Take away their parking spaces.

    Make them eat shit and walk, subpoena them to the floor, then hunt them down and arrest them.

    Are these things extreme?
    Ask this instead: what is the downside?
    Do Democrats lose any votes? Are Republicans going to “strike back” in any way they aren’t already determined to employ?

    This is who they are. A manifest danger to democracy at every level. They are preparing to head to state capitols intent upon spreading a deadly virus. They are going to try to tie up state assemblies with procedural complications and insane legislation to cripple health authorities for no reason other than to signal party allegiance. They are dangerously insane to the point that they are a clear threat to themselves. Democrats have a duty to see that they are not a threat to the rest of us.

    By which time, in addition to Georgia Trump will have flipped Iowa, and perhaps even Ohio and Texas. Because he doesn’t care about winning nearly as much as he cares about “loyalty”.

    @ 3:

    It’ll be moot because that fatass chronic shitburger-eater will be dead by then. Fat Donny is morbidly obese, has obvious frontal temporal dementia and has been literally shitting his pants for several years from the cocaine and methamphetamine he’s been using. He’s a seriously unhealthy individual who will probably go out like Elvis did; Trying to shit through chronic hemorrhoids on his gold-plated toilet and be dead for two hours before anyone notices.

    Maybe they’ll nominate his rotting corpse.

    They did that for Reagan.

  7. 7

    Donald the Duck Fuck was a fake President. The 2016 election was rife with fraud. Republicans stuffed ballots like it they stuff their faces with junk food.

    I am sure Bob voted for the horse too.

  8. 8

    Fat Donny really isn’t anything as dignified as a “conman.” What it really is, is that he really is one of them. That’s why they worship him. They identify with his outlook on the world. He is a proudly and profoundly stupid asshole and so they are, too. It is what they’ve aspired to be and worked to achieve for their entire lives.

    In my experience, we haven’t been telling these people enough, that they really are just terribly stupid. We (collectively, as a society) have been somehow freely inviting them on teevee and “social media” to ask them what they “think.” All that ends up being demonstrated is that they really don’t, very much, if at all.

    I have sincerely believed for about thirty years now, that this doesn’t go to people’s desire for understanding or allowing everyone to express themselves and be heard. It seems to be more about feeding that same mindset of the people who slow down on the freeway to snap pictures of fatal car wrecks with their phones, or who keep their kids up late at night to watch the latest slasher flick, and then spend the next three months jumping out of closets at them with a chainsaw or a butcher knife.

    But then instead of telling them their “ideas” are idiotic, we thank them for their time and throw to a commercial. Preferably one that ties in with the subject that had just been discussed.

    We’ve been giving them the impression that every opinion is equally valid, for reasons I’m still not clear on. For socially interactive platforms like Twitter and FB, the reasons are obvious: money. Cash talks loudly enough to make everyone deaf to the problems. Keeping those fat asses in the pews and dropping grandma’s last dollar in the plate is all that matters. But the reality is that NOT all opinions are valid. There are in fact, people who believe that slavery should still be an institution in this country. But it has been outlawed, at least in theory. The corporate prison system is the exemption to that, and boy howdy is that lucrative as hell. But the opinion that it should be overtly legal to hold captives in forced labor is in fact, wrong.

    So why should we offer any credence to the likes of Ann Coulter, Todd Starnes or Alex Jones? They’re lunatics, liars and assholes. They revel in that. Their opinions cannot be rationalized by anyone except themselves and each other. All they are is parroting that old general line of hate and the implication that they are somehow morally and ethically superior by the mere associations with their ancestry or religion. Their opinions are borne out of purse selfishness, greed, and their anger at how limited their influence really is, for the simple reason that their opinions are really just cheap and easy to come by. You can find them on the barstools of every cheap dive shit tavern and bar in the country. Especially in the rust belt/flyover States where education is considered to be the same thing as Communist indoctrination.

    New “Method Acting” AG is has been announced will be “… a thin, viscous, pale pink film we have isolated and scrapped from the rim of the president’s favorite toilet.“

  12. 12

    @1 “Push for sanctioning and removing every single Republican.”

    I say make ’em take loyalty oaths. There’s precedent for that. In the ’50s, Republicans demanded loyalty oaths to weed out communist revolutionaries. With the Soviet Union gone, and nobody likes China, the next round of loyalty oaths should weed out fascist revolutionaries and secessionists.

    Maybe loyalty oaths should be required of voters, too. Here in Washington, nearly 39% voted for a seditionist candidate for president and over 43% voted for a secessionist candidate for governor. Our state has more nests of traitors than murder hornet hives.

    WSJ doubles down on dissing Jill Biden for being a smart woman.

    http://handbill.us/2020/12/14/.....en-insult/

    SJ’s blog now has over 300,000 hits on a silly satire article alleging Michelle Obama was born as Michael Robinson. Obviously her smarts are more tolerable to the knuckledraggers if they’re in a male body.

    To put that in another perspective, for every knuckledragged who has visited SJ’s blog to skip past the disclaimers for affirmation that Michelle Obama was born male (and therefore must have undergone sex-change surgery), an American has died from Covid-19. That’s an unimaginable number of deaths. All at Trump’s doorstep.

  15. 15

    I suppose now that the Trump AG who couldn’t find the massive piles of voting fraud sitting right in front of him, the acting guy will be expected to come up with evidence of that fraud in time for the reading of objections to electoral votes in Congress.

  16. 16

    After Congress accepts the authentic electoral votes submitted by the states in their Certificates of Ascertainment (as distinguished from the rump “electors” being recruited by the GOP), all Trump will have left is the Proud Boys, and they shouldn’t be much trouble for the authentic military (as opposed to private militias and gangs of armed thugs after the fashion of Kyle Rittenhouse) to handle. In retrospect, the Weimar Germans should have shot Hitler after his failed putsch. Hopefully our authorities will learn from that and know what to do with this batch of revolutionaries. They already have appropriate facilities for housing them (Gitmo, ADX, Terre Haute, Leavenworth, etc.).

    to the knuckledraggers if they’re in a male body.

    Straight males for the most (99.0 percent) part. Neanderthals, you guys are your own demise not climate change. You guys haven’t realized that just putting your penis into a vagina and squirting a little juice is going to keep you from going extinct. And that gay people can be better mentors and role models, and parents then some of you knuckleheads (male and female). The horse even knows it.

    “In the coming weeks, you should expect a sudden surge in contrite Republicans (who totally “never liked Trump anyway”), and are now ready to denounce his policies (which they totally never agreed with) and his behavior (which they were always totally appalled by) and who just want to help heal the nation.”

    GOP FailPresident is busy Hoovering up all the small donor $$ from Georgia to be spent on his “election fight”.

    Eeeeexcellent.

  25. 25

    Despite having the courage to beat up tiny Guatemalan Toddlers and bravely reach out to racists and Nazis, GOP FailPresident was deposed by an overwhelming national majority on every conceivable metric. States flipped. Entire regions turned against them. American suburbs soundly rejected the GOP for the first time since WWII. GOP lost ground with every category of voter except “incel”.

    And yet, quite obviously from the very top of the leadership pile to the very lowest bunk in the dirtiest trailer park, this shift caught Rapepublicans completely by surprise. Even now, despite the certified vote of the electoral college and the inevitable departure of the incontinent fat orange slob from DC, they still can’t believe it. Almost no Rapepublican anywhere believes that they lost last month. The truth just can not penetrate to them.

    The Orange Event Horizon was and is real.
    The proof is all around us.

    And Every Rapepublican You Know has lazily given in to the pull of hate and passed beyond the terminal boundary. They are stuck over there now, surrounded by that disgusting putrid film of orange tainted jizz, oily cheeseburger wrappers, Astroglide, dried Diet Coke, spend condoms, and stained non-disclosure agreements.

    They are not coming back.

    @26 It’s final. The banana fuhrer officially lost. The crowds have thinned, the signs are being stuffed into dumpsters, the fair weather protesters are drifting away. All that’s left now in the plaza are a few diehards. And even they realize what comes next: Fumigation.

    Not everyone got the memo.

    “Not my President and never will be,” she wrote, referring to Biden. “The American people aren’t fools. We know you cheated to win and we’ll never accept these results. Fair elections we can accept but cheating to win; never. It’s not over yet. So thankful President Trump has a backbone and refuses to concede. President Trump should declare martial law as recommended by General Flynn.”

    Well, there’s not much to talk about this morning, other than Biden’s victory is now signed, sealed, official, and irreversible; even Vlad and Moscow Mitch admit it, and the only known holdout is Kayleigh McNinny. And even Bob’s horses are laughing at her.

    29,
    That’s one helluva tax hike you are proposing.

    Using Sweden’s initial 24% death rate back in March from the “Bring It ON!” approach to achieving “early herd immunity” how many Washingtonians should give their lives to keep McCormick and Schmick’s open? If ten percent of Washingtonians are infected, and 24% die on invasive ventilators, will the 175,000 initial deaths be random, or targeted among the poor and middle classes? Should the dead be volunteers or do we impose a draft?

    Would children be included among those tapped for the “Death Tax for Pull Tabs”? What would the cutoff age be? Would you include infants? What about “unborn Americans”?

    Will Washington State Republicans be running on this theme in 2022? If Inslee is tapped to head to the Biden/Harris administration will your gubernatorial candidate be running on the “Death Tax for Pull Tabs” platform?

    From link @26: “Yes, Democrats are the opponents. However, the far more urgent MAGA ENEMY is Mitch McConnell.”

    Popcorn time!

    Yes, McConnell just got re-elected to another 6-year term, but there’s another, immediate, way they can get back at him, and that’s by encouraging all their friends in Georgia to BOYCOTT next month’s election to deprive him of his majority and relegate him and all the other Senate RINOs to back-bench status. That’ll fix ’em good!!

    P.S., I wonder how many of these desperadoes are about to hit the streets because McConnell, Mnuchin & Co. are holding up relief aid while their unemployment runs out and eviction moratoriums expire?

    43,
    “Advice”? Is that what he calls that convoluted, stream-of-consciousness, Huhr-Duhr, idiot Jabberwocky?

    There was a time, and not all that long ago either, before The Q Clearance Cat Lady was sucked beyond Teh Orange Event Horizon, when she was occasionally capable of thought provoking commentary. Let’s face it, Hillary Clinton was a terrible nominee who ran a disastrous campaign that weakened the party and wasted huge sums of donor financing on yelling at the wrong voters. And “in the before times” The Cat Lady even used to push for moderation among Republicans and “conservatives”.

    But that was all before Trump, the C’Ville GOP DeathCar, the political catastrophe of the Associate Justice GangBang confirmation battle, “The Perfect Phone Call”, and the last eighteen months of TAAAAARAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now The Cat Lady is reduced to the role of the fat girl who takes herself to prom. Her sporadic and often anonymized rantings seem to be empty of content beyond sloganeering about her own body secretions and the usual Trump-cult rapture.

    I don’t know about you and or others. And I am close to an early retirement, so I don’t have much if anything to lose, but I plan on letting my employer know that they have a lot to lose by not speaking out against this shit.

    Don’t get me wrong – the company I work for should be applauded for their efforts and the things they do and how they are addressing racial injustice and equality, but when you (they) claim that their employees are family and they care about the safety and well being of each individual, and that the employees that are what makes them the company that they are, then they need to go a bit further out on a limb and start a massing a coalition with other industry leaders to start taking a bigger role and speaking out for all the injustice and crap that the Repukes are tossing out and not addressing because they have no fucking spine.

    Again, don’t get me wrong, the company I work for does a very good job with treating their employees well and walking the walk when it comes to their talk of caring….but they need to go the extra step. Their success and lively hood depends on it. Capitalism depends on it. They can’t hide behind the scenes no longer. Their success isn’t going to be dependent on Wall Street. Their success is dependent on whether this Country is unified. If they don’t see that then they only have themselves to blame in the end.

    As an expression of gratitude for the support black voters provided to Biden during the primaries, Biden has nominated Mayor Pete to be Secretary of Transportation.

    At some point black voters will realize they are being used by the Democrat party. This nomination may help that along.

    I’m telling you people, conservatives have lost the plot. They are clearly a very real, and very present danger, not only to democracy itself but to all of our lives and safety. The only responsible reaction at this point is to shut their entire operation down. Seriously. Strip them all of any authority, freeze their bank accounts, and lock them out. Conservatives are just no longer safe to be allowed to roam free in a civil society. They are dangerous lunatics overwhelmed by a cult of personality that deprives them of the capacity for reason.
