I hope that y’all can make it to the protest of Trump’s immigration policies. Of the separation of families. Of the denial of refugees rights. This is America, but it doesn’t have to be. You can find info on the Seattle protest here. Or other locations here. Move On will ask for your info, and give it to them or not, you can still go to the protest.

Further evidence of Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s investing prowess came yesterday with news that GE, which last Fall was one of Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s largest holdings when he recommended that longer-term investors continue holding the stock, is being bounced from the DJIA after more than a hundred years.
GE’s place in the Dow 30 is being taken by Walgreens, which is where Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit buys his Chucks pads, urinary catheters, Fleet enemas and can/hoses, and rectal DSS suppositories.
So it’s all good, really, because Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit still can hold a Dow stock and ‘pay himself’ by patronizing that company.
Don’t be a dumbfuck like Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.
Do the opposite instead.

Demorat Pornstar Party Of Death News–Demorats Caught Lying Again, Pictures Show Obama Put Children In Cages While Demorats Did Nothing [Pictures at link]
—————————————–
The policy of prosecuting immigrants for crossing the border illegally has been in place for multiple administrations. The Obama administration prosecuted half a million illegal immigrants and similarly separated families in the process. So did the Bush administration.
Personal accounts from immigration lawyers tell a tale of Obama being equally concerned about unaccompanied minors traveling to the border and wanting to create a deterrent.
Photos of border detention facilities from the Obama-era, taken during 2014, look nearly identical to the ones taken during the Trump era.
You never see them, however. Here they are, taken in 2014 during a media tour of Obama-era detention facilities in Brownsville, Texas, and Nogales, Arizona.

Do they invest in a stock that is a solid investment or not, but has a history…like DOW or coke since they still sell the NAZI drinks FANTA. FANTA just does not seem as fun and sexy as their adds when you discover the open NAZI past. Which is generally ignored. Give those sexy dancers swastikas, and there could be a bigger protest than the one today in Seattle.
Real criminals should pay attention as their children should not be separated from them at the time of their arrest. And bail should be set in an amount that those who are parents can be with their loved ones until proven guilty.

Republican’s expect to loose some house seats, but on a national level the debate helps them. Here in Washington the matter is of no significance. Urban Washington is already Democrat. Rural Washington is generally Republican, and they already have enough to upset them about the Urban folks controlling so much. Just gives those pols an extra line in a stump speech.

@1 GE’s problems are even worse than we thought, in no small part because material information was withheld from shareholders and the investing public.
Getting kicked out of the Dow is the least of its problems.
Over the last several months, we’ve learned GE has liabilities we weren’t told about, may have to raise capital, and its reorganization plan includes shedding core assets.
GE’s ability to attract talented managers and engineers has been harmed by damage to its reputation and uncertainty about its future.
GE has a major product quality problem on its hands, in the form of new generation jet engines blowing up in flight.
Over the last year, GE shareholders have been subjected to an unending stream of bad news. There could be more shoes to drop. And shareholders face ongoing risks from possible share dilution, possible further dividend cuts or elimination, and possible further stock price downside.
Of course, Doctor Dumbfuck somehow has had all this information all along, either because (choose one) (a) he is a genius, or (b) has a functioning crystal ball that can tell the future. But despite possessing this superior knowledge, he didn’t short GE at 23, because he’s a dumbfuck.
I sold all of my GE shares this morning. Because many of these shares were acquired for around $6, I essentially doubled my money, in addition to collecting an above-average dividend yield for several years.
To a dumbfuck, that looks like a disaster.

he caved to the pressure from Congressional leadership and signed “a paper” that may or may not reverse his own stupid, cruel, and pointless policy.
But implementing this latest Toddler Torture scheme will require violating a federal court order that, very reasonably and consistent with our constitution and our values as Americans, prohibits border soldiers from indefinitely imprisoning infants and children.
Under these circumstances I think it’s probably very unlikely that any federal judge will want to put their name on an order reversing that ruling. So CBP will be in open violation of settled U.S. law and will probably be ordered to cut it out.

Rural Washington is less than half the state’s population, so why should they be in control? Are you against majority rule?
Eastern Washington has 2/3 of the land area, but only 21% of the population. They think their taxes subsidize Seattle. In fact, it’s the other way around, by a wide margin.
When they can’t even keep basic facts like that straight, why should Seattle voters put them in charge? Isn’t it enough that Seattle homeowners are paying hundreds of dollars a year more in school taxes so they can pay less for their schools?
WTF!? spews:
Maybe some good could start to come out of all of The Humps brutality and fuckery. Maybe many Republicans join the Democrats and change some of what ails the Democratic Party. Living in NYC, only after 4 years, can open your eyes to a Party that has swung a bit too far with handouts.
I’m all for providing help, at my taxpaying expense, but I also expect people to be held accountable and not put more of a burden on me. For example, the homeless – i feel for them, I’ve helped them out, I think they need more help, but when someone on the street helps them out with giving them some food they don’t need to leave all the unfinished food and debris on the ground. There is a fucking garbage can on every corner of each block.
NYC put in (spent a lot of money) on free WiFi Kiosks through out the city and continues to do so. They allow for charging of phones, making free phone calls, and also able to search the internet and watch videos and movies. At first, the homeless were watching porn and using these kiosks as their personal movie theater. But aside from that, nobody really uses them – no tourists and no residents – pretty much the homeless only. Better use of that money could have been thought of.
Hopefully the likes of Steve Schmidt could improve the Democratic Party. I know – not so easy, but hey, welcome Steve.

@22 Eastern Washington also has a really big dam and lake, and Hanford. At least some farmers wanted the lake, though it was more about the power that ended up powering aluminum smelters and provided jobs over here. And that aluminum went to building a lot of airplanes. Still does. Can of hard to put a dam and lake into an urban area, and make sure the benefits are beneficial to all.
And at the end of the day politicians in urban areas know folks in their urban area like to eat. If they don’t eat then the pitchforks come out, and that politician is a lot closer than those farmers in eastern Washington or even the more local ones.
What you are saying is nothing more than the same problems the city/state called Athens had. Only a lot lot more people were dependent on agriculture, and knew from immediate experience which side of the brad was buttered. They did have some hunter gatherers, and some who had become urbanites that had become disconnected. And before things got to the point they are here, the Persian’s showed up, and the Greeks came together for a time. And the philosophers did not come up with a solution to the problem you have put forth. Though for your premise to be true one has to assume we are in a Democracy (which the folks in Athens were truly a democracy) or a Republic with representative democracy and not a oligarchy where the democratic institutions are more for appearance, and some of those rural folks and some urban conspire to keep the masses dumbed down, and unaware the of the oligarchs true goals. As long as there is acquiesce of the voting public to the status quo our question does not really matter…until he pitchforks come out. It certainly is not a question the pols or governor in Olympia are struggling with. As that would upset the status quo, and they like the founders do not entirely trust the people, and know the majority can trample the minority. The mean usually works pretty well though…gotta have that mean.

@20 Glad you admitted you are just an outside agitator. The blog is supposed to be about Washington state politics though the participants don’t seem to mind roughshod over that. and the owner and administration of the blog do not pay much attention to a lot of stuff on here that is frankly off topic. Though they do open things up by making the vast majority of the posts open threads. And I do know the rest of the state of New York has a similar issue with New York and New York government has to be reminded from time to time it’s part of New York by courts at the state and federal level. Without water, power, food from the rest of New York, New Yorkers go thirsty, have no ac, or go hungry all of which get local politicians up in arms. So this issue exists where you are, and like Washington New York is a democratic state and generally the Republican’s have historically not had a lot of power there for some time, and have to dance to the Democratic tune….not always to that point in Washington historically, the Republicans have been powerful in the past…could be that western influence. New Yorker’s never fully embraced Teddy Roosevelt because of some of the same reasons, but you all loved Franklin Roosevelt.
Mark Adams spews:
@22 And Seattle voters are just folks who reside in Seattle an incorporated city in Washington state, same as those in Everett or Spokane. Residents in all of those cities do not have much sway with residents in the other cities. Yet how much power is produced in each of those cities? Some but far more is produced in rural Washington, yet rural residents get a limited say on what the power goes too with farmers being a minor exception, and as time has gone on some resources that were agricultural and why dams were built have shifted to urban needs.
Mark Adams spews:
I do think Americans miss one important fact in this whole immigrant debate.
What happens to Americans should they be found to be illegal immigrants in Mexico or Canada. Not that too many Americans actually did try leaving the US once Trump became President…must be some reason almost no one including Syrians try to go to Mexico. Do the nice Canadian’s and Mexican’s separate immigrant children from their parents. give immigrants rights, have any compunction over shooting immigrants crossing the border, ect. Neither nations immigration laws are at all friend to immigrants, though very different situations on the two borders, still overall they probably would prefer Americans stay out unless it’s to spend money there.

You didn’t mention that the “really big dam” and “Hanford” are Federal projects.

So not only are there less voters in Eastern WA, they have been sucking off the teat of the Feds for a long, long time. Welfare queens? What about States’ Rights? What Eastern WA serves up more than anything is a great big dose of hypocrisy because if they were really interested in what they crow about all the damn time would turn that region into a dust bowl because they simply cannot support themselves with their tax base. Oh yeah, now that ICE is playing the role of jackboot thugs, there are many less hands to bring in the crops.

Wyden: Trump executive order far from enough
WASHINGTON – On the heels of a letter Wednesday by Oregon’s Democrats in Congress calling for an end to the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, the president’s new executive order brought a caustic reaction from Sen. Ron Wyden.
Trump said repeatedly at an Oval Office signing event that his executive order will “keep families together.”
But Wyden said, “Locking families in cages together instead of locking children in cages without their parents marks a minor move from total inhumanity to moral bankruptcy.”
“Children don’t belong behind bars,” the senator said. “Trump has made his underlying goals clear: to terrorize innocent refugee families and use them as political pawns to propel a racist agenda. This humanitarian crisis is not over.”

@26 Eastern Washington doesn’t feed Seattle. Most of its agricultural products are exported.
The Columbia River dams weren’t built to produce power. They were make-work projects during the Depression whose main purpose was to create jobs. The BPA had no use for the water and no market for the electricity, so they gave it to the farmers, along with power to run irrigation pumps. The aluminum plants came later, when the war created a need for aluminum. The dams also powered the Hanford reactors.
Farmers are 2% of the U.S. population. Our need to eat doesn’t mean their votes should count more than ours. That would violate the fundamental principles on which this country was founded.

Hey y’all HA libbies:
It’s Pride Week and we’re comin’ up on the 2-year anniversary of that devastatingly brutal attack on a chick named Michael Volz, which allegedly occurred right out in the open on a busy and beautiful weeknight evening in Capitol Hill during the celebrations of Pride Week. It was an attack, albeit unwitnessed, so brutal that it left it with scratches and maybe a bruise.
Nonetheless, this being Seattle and a cis-chick running the local PD, panties were twisted at the highest levels and the FBI was called in to
take the heat for pointing out the obvious fakery of the attack in the first placeaid in the investigation of the alleged assault as a “hate crime”.This is the same FBI, in the same year, and at roughly the same time of year that found Hillary Clinton to be “extremely careless” with her email handling. My guess is the same FBI found Volz to be
a fucking lying chick who wanted to be born with nutsextremely careless stepping off the curb and landing on its face.Assuming the FBI treated the case in the usual way, it reported back to the Seattle PD and closed it without public comment, and the Seattle PD buried it to avoid embarrassing the contingent of the LGBTQQABCD….WXYZ community that doesn’t fake hate crimes.
And Volz itself treated it as a one-off, as its Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/michaelmvolz.5
is back to unserious YLB-style posts fewer than two weeks after the incident allegedly occurred.
It’s always an ‘activist’ that gets ‘brutally’ attacked and then turns out to have only a couple of scratches and, surprisingly, no evidence of a crime despite all of those people would could have been witnesses had a crime actually occurred.

Germany’s Largest Auto Makers Back Abolition of EU-U.S. Car Import Tariffs
The U.S. ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, brought the proposal for a broader industry trade pact to the Trump administration on Wednesday, according to people familiar with the situation.
That would mean scrapping the EU’s 10% tax on auto imports from the U.S. and other countries and the 2.5% duty on auto imports in the U.S. As a prerequisite, the Europeans want President Donald Trump’s threat of imposing a 25% border tax on European auto imports off the table.

Small wonder the Democrats are suddenly giving a shit about the same people the Obama administration was holding in cages. If they have to run on the economy, there could be a wave but it will be in the Senate and it won’t be blue.

I see Trump wants to abolish the Labor Department and create a new Department of Education and Workforce. Sure glad I don’t have to put up with …
1. Trick job interview questions designed to trip you;
2. Low wages with no benefits;
3. Outsourcing, downsizing, and arbitrary layoffs and firings;
4. Being forced to train your replacement to do your job;
5. Trump’s labor policies.
Working hard to get ahead is a cruel and exploitive myth. All you get from your hard work is the above. America’s workers are unrewarded and disrespected. Meanwhile, lazy capitalists like Roger Rabbit who don’t work or produce anything are getting rich from owning stock. This is why America’s economy is going down the tubes.

Obama cyber chief confirms ‘stand down’ order against Russian cyberattacks in summer 2016

WASHINGTON — The Obama White House’s chief cyber official testified Wednesday that proposals he was developing to counter Russia’s attack on the U.S. presidential election were put on a “back burner” after he was ordered to “stand down” his efforts in the summer of 2016.
The comments by Michael Daniel, who served as White House “cyber security coordinator” between 2012 and January of last year, provided his first public confirmation…
Now, it’s really not as bad as that would seem. ’cause Obama delivered a warning:
…Obama officials chose another course of action after becoming frustrated that Republican leaders on Capitol Hill would not endorse a bipartisan statement condemning Russian interference and fearful that any unilateral action by them would feed then candidate Donald Trump’s claims that the election was rigged. They chose a private “stern” warning by Obama to Russian President Vladimir Putin at a summit in China in early September 2016 to stop his country’s campaign to disrupt the U.S. election.
Ooh. It was a stern warning. Scawy scawy.
@godwinha spews:
The Eighties called again, in 2016. Obama answered and said, “Stand Down.”
Just think, HA libbies: Had Romney won in 2012, you wouldn’t have President Trump today. You also would not have seen former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid go nuclear on judicial nominations.

Demorat Pornstar Party Of Death News– Another Demorat Lie Exposed, Baby In Cage Photo Was A Fake
—————————————–
Does This Image Show a Toddler in a Cage Detained by ICE in 2018?[Pic at link]
[T]he photograph was taken on 10 June 2018, but it did not show a child confined by immigration authorities to a cage. Rather, it was snapped during a protest staged in front of Dallas City Hall to call attention to the Trump administration’s practice of separating families and confining undocumented children. Different photographs of the event document that the same child was standing a mocked-up “cage” open at the top, and several commenters noted that the boy was crying not because he was confined, but because he saw his mother outside the pen and could not immediately figure out how to get to her.

———————
Recommendations in Project 21’s “Blueprint for a Better Deal for Black America” for stopping wealth transfer from black citizens to illegal aliens were explained by Co-Chairman Horace Cooper during a recent interview on the Fox Business Network.
In particular, the Blueprint recommends:
Barring illegal aliens from accessing any public services, except emergency services.
Terminating federal funding of any social service agency that provides non-emergency services to illegal immigrants.
Prosecuting providers and recipients who allow scarce federally-funded social services to be used by those who are in the country illegally.
Ending states’ special programs for assisting unlawful immigrants, redirecting those funds to needy citizens.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@90 Fair enough; bullshit should be called out regardless of who propagates it. Liberal lies are no better than conservative lies; there just seem to be a lot more of the latter.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@91 Technically, illegals have no right to be here, and are subject to deportation. However, this has to be put into a context. One, we have a broken immigration system that doesn’t provide adequate opportunities for lawful immigration, and two, for years we’ve willingly exploited illegals’ labor for our economic benefit.
The argument for denying illegals public services is clearcut if they’re working under the table and not paying taxes, but fuzzier when they pay taxes that help support those services.
What problem are you trying to solve by abruptly uprooting undocumented immigrants and throwing them out of the country? Crime? They have much lower crime rates than native-born citizens.
Finally, Trump’s attempts to blame Democrats for family separations and lack of Dreamer is unmitigated bullshit. Kinda like when conservatives circulate photos of children on the Syrian border as evidence that we have a border crossing crisis on our southern border.

I’m smarter than you as I don’t waste my time with the stock market. I actually like what I do for work, I make the world a safer place with what I do for work. I have enough money to meet my needs, I don’t need piles of money or a huge portfolio. Why? Because you can’t take it with you when you die. Enjoy life while you can. Why waste time pouring over annual reports. Why worry about leaving a pile of money for your wife/kids? You’ll be dead, it won’t be your problem anymore. Besides, shouldn’t they be self-sufficient? Isn’t that the cornerstone of being conservative? Bill gates is giving most of his fortune away rather than give it to his kids.
