The legislature is moving forward on police reform (first item, although the private prison story is interesting too). It would mean that police have to intervene when their colleagues use excessive force.

My favorite quote in the piece is Senator Jeff Holy complaining that it would make it tougher to hire cops. Good, my dude. Like, if it’s tougher to hire police who look the other way when other police are violent, it’s a better police force.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

    “We have witnessed good officers stand by and do nothing,”

    How does Sen. Pederson know they were “good” officers?
    The fact that they “stood by and did nothing” would on the face of it tend to argue against that conclusion.

    The “good officer” who stood by and did nothing will now simply look away, or take whatever similar measures may be required under the circumstances to avoid doing the right, lawful thing. Because we already know that about them. For whatever reason, they stood by and did nothing, rather than their duty.

    For forty years we’ve tried every single idea for reducing police brutality and abuse except for the one thing guaranteed to work.

    Reduce police.

    COVID-19 vaccine distribution update from the Washington State Department of Health

    OLYMPIA – The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) continues to make progress with our COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration efforts.

    As of Feb. 15, more than 1,201,120 doses of vaccine have been given across the state, which is nearly 83% of the 1,453,425 doses that have been delivered to our providers and long-term care programs

    Next, it will be targeted at everyone with a second truck. Like my family.

    Then, it will target everyone with a second car.

    Finally, it will be one more tax larded onto YLB’s kids, as if those poor fucks won’t have it hard enough with all the debt they will have to service as things stand now.

    Because all of the initial targets will have moved from Washington to lower-tax states.

    It’s not that I don’t think YLB’s kids deserve to bear the consequences of the politicians that The Always Unserious YLB cheers for on a daily basis. Because I do.

    I just also want them to see the pain coming, and not be able to avoid it.

    It looks like that greasy bullying bastard, Andrew Cuomo, might have his ass in a crack. It’s fucking well deserved, too! Hopefully, he will get tossed out on his fucking greaseballl ass, and he will have to get a gig over at CNN, like his brother, Freddo, did.

    Eat shit, Cuomo! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

    Gee, if I didn’t know completely better, I’d have to conclude this was a “Diehard Trump Supporter” and late-night pillow pal of “Machine Gun Kim” calling for the United States to serve as Global Cop.

    How do you draw that conclusion? Isn’t possible that the remaing 17% is still to be distributed, held in reserve for people that recived 1 dose already and not the second?

    Wow what “pain” for kreepah’s “daughter” and grandkid. And they shouldn’t count on kreepah to leave them anything to pay off the debt.. Kreepah’s coffin will be made of bricks of 100 dollar bills of its “fookin’ munee” and will be set on fire once it’s in the ground.

    That’ll guarantee that no dirty hippie ever gets a cent of it. No wifey or daughter or grandkid will use it to fund liberal causes. No way.

    @3 Boob’s answer to cops murdering black people in the USA is that Biden should say something about Chinese genocide against Uighurs.

    I would explain their baseless belief in election fraud lies this way: They’re so accustomed to cheating — it’s a way of life for them — they naturally assume everyone else does, too.

    Cuomo, 2018:

    During Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation hearings in 2018, Cuomo issued an official statement that called the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford — who accused Kavanaugh of drunkenly attacking her when they were high-school students in 1982 — “very compelling.”

    “Here is one basic fact that badly hurts Judge Kavanaugh: Why won’t he take a polygraph? Dr. Ford did,” Cuomo said at the time.

    “If he does not take a polygraph test, it is the ultimate, ‘he said, she said.’ “

    Who’s up for larding another $1.9 trillion on the backs of YLB’s kids?

    The benchmark Treasury note jumped above 1.50% on Thursday afternoon after investors showed tepid demand for $62 billion of 7-year notes. The 10-year note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, 1.515% climbed 15 basis points to 1.54%. Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields. Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at the Bleakley Advisory Group, described the 7-year note auction results as “awful,” after it tailed by 4.2 basis points, the most in the auction’s history. The tail is the gap between the highest yield the Treasury sold in the auction and the yield before the auction began. Analysts have cited the 1.50% level as a key threshold for the bond market that could portend trouble for U.S. equities.

    I read somewhere that the average mortgage loan is about 7 years old by the time it’s retired or refinanced with something else.

    The Latest: Wash. state warns hospitals on VIP vaccinations

    SEATTLE — Authorities in Washington state are warning hospitals and other facilities giving coronavirus vaccinations not to give special access to some people, saying they will risk having their supplies of doses cut.
    …
    The Seattle Times has reported that three medical systems in the region gave special vaccine access to big donors or foundation members. Two of the hospital organizations acknowledged they made a mistake in prioritizing influential people.

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s comments are based on his recognition that nobody will ever consider him “influential”.

    larding $1.7 trillion on the backs of dimfuk’s “daughter” and grandkids?

    Add that to the b1 bomber and the peecekeeper missile that dimfook kneepaded for back in teh day. A recreational war in Iraq. And whatever else repuke pentagon boondoggle. There’s a lot of them.

    And daughter and grandkid: the passing of dimfuk won’t bail you out.. The freak is taking its “fookin’ munee” – to the grave. It belongs to the freak..

    @37 Dumfuck is staring at his portfolio today. Maybe he should go ride a horse instead. I mean that literally. So there’s no confusion about this, I’m referring to putting a saddle on the horse, and sitting in the saddle on top of the horse, while the horse walks somewhere. Where doesn’t matter.

    If he’s going to shoulder the expense of keeping a horse, he should use the horse for its intended purpose.

    @39 “Who’s up for larding another $1.9 trillion on the backs of YLB’s kids?”

    I’m all for it. That’s only $800 billion more than the lard your president and Congress handed out to billionaires, and unlike that expenditure, this one actually helps people who need it.

    @40 It’s unclear to me why you believe I would ask for special treatment. You think I want to stand in a line with all those Republicans?

    53,
    After shitting all over Garland’s SCOTUS nom, railroading ACB, and the Jan. 6th Fur Bikini BEACH WEEK!!!, Democrats would have to be stupid fucks indeed to think that any Republican given any opportunity at all wouldn’t do whatever was in their power by law or otherwise to rat fuck democracy.

    The only reason Moscow Mitch never used reconciliation after “Thumbs Down” and the Blue Wave Wipeout of 2018 is because he could never get his majority to agree to that extent ever again. There’s no legal or illegal tactic they won’t use.

    Insurrection Day II will soon be upon us, they day the Repukes are seething at the chance to toss more fire extinguishers and javelin poles at the cops, with the hopes to actually physically kill one this time so that they can show Bob that they really do know how to kill cops and not a failure as much as he.

    It’s God’s wishes!

  62. 62

    The best thing (or it would be a good thing) that could happen is if another failed attempt is made on Insurrection Day II, hopefully damaging their cause of fascism.

    Unfortunately, Repukes let Hitler go and have allowed him to run again in 2024, which he will becomd victorious if something like Insurrection Day II doesn’t happen and wakes this Country up.

    In the next 4 years, I will make it my mission to get my dual citizenship so that I can have another place to call home.

    If corporations don’t wake up, their fears will be relived, and their existance will be on the ropes. Business will not survive a fascist rule.

    —
    Missouri town with 65 residents receives nearly 2,000 vaccines for reasons unknown
    https://www.thepitchkc.com/missouri-town-of-population-65-receives-nearly-2000-vaccines-for-reasons-unknown/
    A mass vaccination clinic in Leopold, MO operated on a first-come-first-serve basis yesterday due to overallocation. By 4:40 p.m. yesterday, 648 people had been vaccinated in a town of only 65.

    In today’s COVID-19 press conference update, Gov. Mike Parson was asked if instances like this one, where rural counties have more shots than people showing up to get them, are a waste of vaccine.

    “I’m not aware of that,” Parson says in response to the assertion that almost 66% of the clinic’s vaccines went unused. “Maybe you know more than what I evidently do, because I don’t think that’s the case at all.”

    Reddit
    “Leopold isn’t even a county seat. Now, you could be setting up a clinic at a community center in St. Louis City or County, or in central Jackson County, and get all of the vaccines reserved in an hour. But that wouldn’t serve the “right” people”

    That waste could have gone to teachers. But Missouri does not value teachers.
