Wednesday Morning Open Thread

– The new drug possession law is harsher than I would have preferred. I am also not sure what “encourages prosecutors to divert drug possession cases to treatment” will mean in practice.

– It’s filing week, so file for office. Seriously, go for it. If there’s a local position and you don’t like what the incumbent is doing or you don’t like anyone in the race for an open sea,well, make it happen.

– The Queen Anne Taco Bell is far too expensive.

– Multnomah County, get your shit together and spend the money allocated for homeless people. For God’s sake.

– Get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    So another could be something could be nothing.

    Colorado Springs, CO a deep red area and the home of the rabidly anti LGBTQIA+ Focus on the Family sect of religious extremists sent a MAGA republican endorsed by cops, the chamber of commerce who ran on homeless sweeps, cutting taxes, forcing the state legislature to put ANY tax increases on the ballot stripping their constitutional duties to run the state….

    To a 15 point defeat in what is nominally a non-partisan Mayoral office though it has been in control of the GOP and the religious freaks at “Beat the Child into obedience” sect in their midst.

    In an earlier thread I joked about how long it must have taken Fetterman to construct a coherent snaky question during a Senate hearing.

    Turns out he didn’t actually say what was attributed to him.

    Ah, here’s the Fetterman I expect:

    Yeah…guys….the carnage is starting to wear on us. We’ve done everything you asked but right now, free and unfettered access to an AR-15 is not gonna fly.

    Not that we’re paying attention to politics.

    The Supreme Court on Wednesday left in place for now Illinois’ new ban on the purchase and sale of AR-15-style rifles and large ammunition magazines, in the court’s first consideration of gun-control legislation since its conservative majority made it more difficult for governments to justify such restrictions.

    The court without comment turned down a request from a gun shop owner from Naperville and a national gun rights organization to keep both the state law and a local measure passed by Naperville from being implemented while legal battles continue. The order comes as the nation has recently weathered dozens of mass killings, many of them involving the kinds of weapons Illinois and the city seek to ban.

    It is not unusual in emergency requests for the court not to provide its reasoning. There were no noted dissents to the order.

  7. 7

    Always with their finger on the pulse of our white and easily frightened audience, we sent our reporter to Naperville to gauge the reaction to the swearing in of Chicago’s new black mayor.

    Why not Chicago? There are no dinners in Chicago where we could talk to the real people. AND we needed to get useable tape for our P1 audience.

    Chicago:
    White: 47.73%
    Black or African American: 29.22%
    Other race: 10.55%
    Asian: 6.84%
    Two or more races: 5.28%

    Naperville:
    White – 69.8%
    Asian – 20.5%
    Hispanic or Latino – 6.7%
    Black – 4.2%

  8. 8

    So lets say you or your child get sick so you go to an Urgent Care and while checking in they say, “Sorry we can’t see you you don’t have any insurance.”

    Your natural reaction is to shake your fist at Joe Biden and the Democrats in Tallahassee.

    Almost 250,000 Florida residents have lost their access to Medicaid since the state began checking residents’ eligibility last month when the public health emergency started winding down, a state report shows.

    Many more are expected to lose health coverage in the next few months as state officials plan to check the eligibility of more than 5 million residents, many of them children, who rely on the federal program intended to provide health insurance for the nation’s poorest.

    A Florida Department of Children and Families report to the federal government shows that state officials as of May 9 had processed 461,322 people. More than half of those checked were terminated from Medicaid. The report does not list how many of those who lost coverage are children.

    Uber and the Chicago White Sox

    You can put it on the board! We’ve teamed up with the Chicago White Sox to help baseball fans ride responsibly on game days. With convenient rides to and from Guaranteed Rate Field, you can cheer for the Sox all season long.

    Pickup and Drop-off Location for Guaranteed Rate Field
    We’ve scored the easiest way to get to and from the game.

    Get there
    Heading to the game? Enter Guaranteed Rate Field as your destination and get dropped off at the Uber Zone, just a few minutes from the field.

    Heading home
    After the bottom of the ninth, exit Guaranteed Rate Field and head to S Wentworth Ave between 33rd and 35th St by the Uber Zone at Lot A.

    That address is literally in a block that part of Comiskey Parks sits upon.

    The candidate begged for Russian espionage agencies to hack his opponent.

    The candidate’s son met with foreign espionage agents to discuss and negotiate obtaining discrediting information on the opposing candidate.

    The campaign manager traveled abroad to pass stolen campaign data to a Russian espionage agent.

    A campaign operative met with foreign diplomats and, having gotten sorority girl drunk, bragged to the diplomats that Russian espionage agencies were helping the campaign.

    And then Russian espionage agencies actually did hack and leak the opposing campaign.

    We all know how this happened.

    White guy tried to book an Uber home from a game to a location adjacent to the park but NOT at the pick-up zone like every other major city sets up. (“Its muh freedum to have the car pick me up at my gate at the airport”)

    So this random genius posts on Twitter that Uber doesn’t pick up at Sox Games.

    NY Post – Uber won’t go to Chicago’s South Side.

    Fox News – Chicago is so dangerous Uber won’t allow drivers to pick up at a baseball game.

    19,
    If Bakersfield’s aging population of grief-stricken, resentful whites wish to retain Brave Kevin as their representative to Congress that is their right. I don’t live in the 20th district so it’s not for me to say who should represent them. But those hicks and gun-humpers prefer him two-to-one over any alternative.

    As to whether Brave Kevin should be Speaker, that’s not up to you and me. The Constitution gives that authority to the elected members of the House. And though it took weeks and many votes, eventually just barely enough Republicans agreed to set aside their deep hatred for him and make him the boss. Best way for us to fix that is to never, ever vote for another Republican. They are responsible for Brave Kevin.

    Walking along the Embarcadero Blvd, to visit the markets at the Ferry Bldg and maybe grab a beer for lunch. Paid for in part with federal taxes brought home by young Rep. Pelosi. She hit the ground running way back in the 1980s and helped grow the city into a modern, world class powerhouse of culture, finance, technology, healthcare, and education.

    Her decades of service have paid huge dividends to the people who elected her and support her. That’s what Democrats do with incumbency.

    Brave Kevin’s loyal supporters are going to have their access to healthcare cutoff, see their libraries closed, see their parks closed, and their meal assistance cut off. And during this spell as Speaker he won’t pass one single meaningful piece of legislation for his constituents before his members tire of him and throw him under the bus. But for some reason they love him. I guess maybe they can eat some of their ammo.

    Police arrest county official in reporter’s stabbing death

    German spent months reporting on the turmoil surrounding Telles’ oversight of the public administrator’s office.

    The 45-year-old Democrat lost his re-election bid in the primary after German’s findings were published. German also had recently filed public records requests for emails and text messages between Telles and three other county officials: Assistant Public Administrator Rita Reid, estate coordinator Roberta Lee-Kennett and consultant Michael Murphy. Lee-Kennett was identified in previous stories as a subordinate staffer allegedly involved in an “inappropriate relationship” with Telles.

    German, 69, was found dead on Saturday morning outside his northwest Las Vegas home, the Metropolitan Police Department reported.

    CRANSTON, R.I. — A Republican city councilman is facing calls to resign after police said they discovered him passed out in an SUV with a crack pipe in his hand and crack cocaine in the console.

    Attorney Matthew R. Reilly, in his second term representing Ward 6, was arrested Monday after an officer found him unconscious and struggling to breathe, in a parking lot less than a mile from his home. As seen in video from a police body-worn camera, Reilly told a sergeant that he’d smoked crack cocaine “earlier” and had been on his way to work at Family Court.

  43. 43

    @ 41

    The difference is that Reilly won’t be re-elected by Republicans after this.

    Democrats are keeping a vegetable in a Senate seat in order to prevent a black woman from replacing her.

    The intrigue surrounds the future of Feinstein’s seat. Pelosi has endorsed Rep. ADAM SCHIFF, her longtime protege and former hand-picked House Intelligence Committee chair, to succeed Feinstein after her sixth and final term ends next year. Schiff is a household name in California and already has a $15 million campaign cash advantage over his nearest competitor.

    But if Feinstein were to bow to pressure and retire early, Schiff’s advantage could disappear. Gov. GAVIN NEWSOM has pledged to appoint a Black woman to serve out her term, and one of Schiff’s declared opponents, Rep. BARBARA LEE (D-Calif.), would fit the bill.

    “If DiFi resigns right now, there is an enormous probability that Barbara Lee gets appointed — thus, it makes it harder for Schiff,” one Pelosi family confidant told Playbook, adding that the relationship between Pelosi, her daughter and the senator is “being kept under wraps and very, very closely held.”

    This is the second-best example of the danger of promising to name a black woman to something. The best example, of course, is the incompetent Kamala Harris merely a heartbeat away from the presidency.

    Today the Freedom Caucus is saying the Senate “must” pass the House bill as is, or the economy goes down. That means McCarthy will have to get Democratic votes.

    Well it’s not like we’re going to keep trying ‘supply side’ economics and ‘tax cuts for the rich’ for 40 years AFTER it’s been a proven failure in every country we convinced to try it.

    We’re not in The habit of throwing good money after bad.

    @87 Republicans know they’re full of b.s., but they keep doing it because it’s so profitable for them.

    Years ago I read that Republican donors spent $4 billion in the 2000 election cycle, and in return got $400 billion of tax cuts, a 10,000% return on investment. Even Doctor Dumbfuck doesn’t do that well.
