CPB in Spokane acting scuzzy has caught up with them. I hope that Mr. Elshieky gets all of the money and that there are real reforms. Also, even if the fuckery were justified (it’s not) the bus ride from Spokane to Portland isn’t exactly the hot route for international smugglers.

Matt Shea is such a garbage person. At a certain point, there have to be the barest of consequences for all of the fuckery. I would hope that there is enough decency in the Republican Party to show him some serious consequences. But the truth is that the rot is the party. They have become the party that redefined the Second Amendment and elevated Donald Trump. Of course they don’t care about genocide manifestos or targeting professors and protesters.

President Trump sure did a lot of things that look like crimes. I mean asking people to commit crimes on your behalf is pretty crimish. Don’t have people crime for you, everyone.

This is a week or so old, but I had not heard about it before. Some kid who seems disturbed is scary as hell. Also, he swims in a pervasive antisemitism. I don’t know how we deal with it, but letting him have guns seems like a bad idea.

I appreciate that a police tower may be necessary in some cases, seeing the picture is a lot. I mean how do you insure that you are just intimidating criminals and not the public more broadly, especially in communities of color? That said the article says that the towers go to sports stadiums, so I have presumably seen them in the wild and not noticed them.

OK, you’re still out there, but why, man?

We all know it’s just lie, lie, lie, man.

It might sound appealing,

But you can’t go self dealing!

Here’s hoping the court says “goodbye, man.”
