We’d be better off if Trump had been re-elected.
85% of unaligned, no-lean, swing voters respond that Trump can no longer be president and must end his campaign now for the good of the country, following his criminal indictment for stealing classified military secrets and betraying the nation.
https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23854152/cnn-poll-on-trump-after-2nd-indictment.pdf
Yet 74% of Republican leaning voters respond that he must continue his campaign for the presidency, and 97% of Trump’s Republican supporters he did nothing wrong by stealing and hiding classified military secrets.
Dear god I hope they nominate him. A Republican who can’t do any better than 15% of tepid support from white NASCAR dads is fucked. But I guess they might as well.
None of the other groveling midgets are very appealing to the modern Republican primary voter.
Tomorrow will be Santos Bond Reveal Party!
U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert ordered Santos’ bond sponsors to be unsealed at noon EDT tomorrow (9 am west coast), giving any of the bond sponsors who choose an opportunity to withdraw. Unless substitute sponsors were found, withdrawal would result in Santos being remanded to the custody of the BOP and held over until his criminal trial.
FROG MARCHES!!!
At minimum 500 migrants died last week in a boat capsizing in the Mediterranean. It was a story for a hour.
They were risking their lives for a chance to continue life in something other than misery.
We’re on day three of wall to wall coverage of people who spent $1/4M to risk their lives to escape the boredom of unimaginable wealth and privilege.
4,
We can’t possibly afford to raise their taxes.
It would ruin EVERYTHING.
Raising their taxes just gives government more money to waste on things like the 737 MAX/PRO/SPACEGHOST EDITION disaster.
Oh.
Then what about the border wall that fell over?
Oh.
Well what about these federal judges flying on luxury private supersonic jets to Alaska fishing lodges for guided expeditions?
Oh.
Well what about these members of Congress taking taxpayer funds to pay for hookers and cocaine?
Oh.
Well what about the cabinet secretaries spending hundreds of thousands redecorating their office suites?
Oh.
Well what about these hundreds of millions diverted to build things like college women’s volleyball arenas?
Oh.
Well what about that neighbor in my condo with the blue handicap parking tag? I know that one is fake!
At 6 – Good for you! You are absolutely correct.
When it comes to taxes, liberal progressives never define what “fair share” means. If someone makes $150,000 in a year, what should be his or her tax bill? How about if he or she makes $15,000,000? What are the numbers about which these progressives mean when they say “fair share?”
Let’s make these kinds of questions of yours more concrete, shall we?
How many “extra” personal family dwellings should qualify for an income tax deduction on mortgage interest?
Should that include super yachts and jet aircraft?
How much passive income – that is income to a working age adult that they receive for doing absolutely zero work – should be exempted from any income tax?
Should all earnings up to $10,275 be taxed at 10% and earnings from $10,276 to $41,775 at 12%?
Does anyone earning $10,275 have any extra money?
Since I took office we’ve had more per capita COVID deaths than ANY similar sized state, Hurricanes, multiple mass shootings including one with over 100 casualties, a giant blob of sea slime larger than the country hit the shore bringing flesh eating bacteria, a malaria outbreak, crops rotting in the field, a collapse of homeowners insurance for anyone in a flood zone, and now a quarantine for snails AND abandoned construction sites for lack of workers.

@10,
NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
WHUDDABOUT MAH RAGHTS???
I just paid almost $260 to renew the tabs for my seven-year-old car. About 75% of that theft was for a light rail system I will never live to see completed and will never use.
I only occasionally enter King County, and that incursion is done via back roads and not the freeway system. I deeply resent having to pay for this light rail system that didn’t want and didn’t vote for.. if you want a light rail system, then pay for it yourselves, King County liberal progressive assholes!

(noted: your story if true, that seven year old car is currently valued over 20K. That means it was at minimum 55K when you bought in in 2016. You had no problem paying 30K over the median price of a new car in 2016 but now that $150-175ish is a problem. Sounds like a poor financial decision when you could have just bought a Honda Civic and saved a ton on tabs and gas.)
@14 As a disabled veteran who gets free license plates, I vicariously share your pain. I did what I could to spare you from this tax by voting against it, but there are limits to what one ordinary voter can do. I’m not a vice president who, according to John Eastman, has a plenary vote.

U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert ordered Santos’ bond sponsors to be unsealed at noon EDT tomorrow…
They’re members of his own family. George Santos and Hunter Biden show that family will stand behind POS no matter how badly they fuck up, even if it hurts the country.
Now, if it’s the offspring – like Navy Joan Roberts – of a POS family member, well, DOCTOR Jill Biden simply told that little cuntlet to just fuck off and die. ’cause the child of a POS that the POS’s daddy has to call a bastard is just one step too far for a grandmother to go.
We just found out that Kodak Black is NOT a disposable camera introduced in 1987 and discontinued in 1994.

Multiple stints in Juvenile detention (records sealed)
A rape charge (plea bargained) and a weapons and marijuana charge that he plead guilty to to drop the rape charge.
A different drug arrest.
An attempt to take a firearm through customs for which he was convicted.
Another sexual battery charge.
Another marijuana charge.
Another possession of a firearm charge.

So three incumbents who, as incumbents, are already approved by the voters weren’t tossed out by moderates and that keeping the hands at 10 and 2 on a straightaway equals a lurch.

14)Not everyone getting on in Lynwood will go all the way to Seattle. It is going to be operational in Snohomish County by the end of Next year. If anything they are prioritizing your car over riders right now. Tge Lynwood station garage is open. Except for Northgate, no Seattle Station has parking, don’t need it, tge stations are served by good feeder bus routes.
As for Freeloaders, the free ride on Tacomas line is about to end. The only system in the state with LINK in its name where it is fare free will be in Wenatchee.
16)Sometimes I wonder if it would have been cheaper to keep the Interurbans. I would not build on the cheap like Portland. Tge airport line is a good example, built on the cheap, without Federal Money, using right of way set aside on I-205. Now, 22 years later, tge Red line is shut down for 4 months, part of tge Better Red project, which includes replacing the Single track junction At Gateway. The Blue line Gresham to Hillsboro, might be too long for an at-grade line. Closing a few stations in Downtown Portland was cheaper than adding a subway to boost reliability.
The closest to what the Interurbans of old could have been is Karlsruhe, Germany.
BTW, I spread my shopping around the Sound Transit District, and was shocked Tacoma’s sales tax was higher last year than Seattle, sinc the last Pierce Transit ballot measure was rejected, and rightfully so. Pierce Transit tried to gerrymander a yes vote. Dropped several communities from the taxiing district that voted no, including Sumner.
@21 “George Santos and Hunter Biden show that family will stand behind POS no matter how badly they fuck up”
Actually, pretty much every family does that (blood is thicker than water), so this is like saying their families breathe air.
These billionaires who find themselves stuck under 4000 meters of crushing icy sea water should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Looks like NYCTA will have to find a new bus manufacturer, Volvo is pulling NOVA BUS production from the US. Closure of the Plattsburgh plant effectively ends their production in the US, under Buy American.
https://www.metro-magazine.com/10201170/nova-bus-ending-u-s-bus-production
Metro never operated their products except as a demo for an electric bus. TriMet, on the other hand, chose them as the supplier for articulated buses, when they chose to resume using that type.
Tge bus manufacturing industry in tge US has seen disruption from new entrants. Although NOVA BUS had joined t New Flyer , and Gillig in developing battery electric options, Gillig has been around so long, their first products were horse drawn. Thought BYD would pull out of tge US, since even though they have a U.S. site, their products may be ineligible for purchase with Federal Money, being Chinese. Federal grants used to cover up to 80% of purchase costs.
https://en.byd.com/news/federal-transit-administration-clarifies-limits-on-sale-of-byd-buses/
Was looking at the roster of Metro when it took over Seattle Transit and Metropolitan 50 years ago, and it was proof bus manufacturers come and go. Twin Coach, gone. Pullman-Standard, gone. Brill, gone. Flixible, gone. GMC, no longer producing buses. Kenworth, no longer producing transit buses. On a NW Bus fan’s Facebook group, have engaged a few times in conversation with a retired Seattle Transit/Metro driver, and has said back in the day, the agency had its issue, but we’re pretty scrappy. Even when new buses were procured, they still used old ones , even after their revenue service had ended. Tge Kenworth buses were examples of that, when their revenue service ended, the last three were used as vault/hostler shack buses at each of Seattle Transit’s three bases, Atlantic, Jefferson, and Mercer. Metro should never have sold Jefferson to Seattle U.
The Kenworths, plus a few Twin Coaches were originally built for Seattle Municipal Street Railway, and inherited by Seattle Transit, and a few of those Twins ended up with Bremerton-Charleston, where they and some later Seattle Transit Twins purchased by BCTC as well, were near
Y junk when Kitsap Transit took over. Built between late 30s and early 50s.
Would rather SDOT bridge Holgate St, instead of vacating it. Between Port and Gameday traffic, need the option. Also understand the needs Amtrak has, the new Trainsets replacing the TALGOs are longer than tge short coaches in the TALGO sets. Isn’t the first time that the King Street Coachyard has been reconfigured. They moved the mainline tracks into a more gentle curve after Safeco Field opened (the tracks of the main, and the yard, go under the roof).

@45 Interesting how, under the new House protocols, one sophomore congresswoman runs the chamber and sets policy for the nation. I guess Marge has decided that if Pence doesn’t have the power to select the president, she does.
This is what happens when a weakling like McCarthy sells his soul to the devil. When you make that kind of deal, the devil is always around to collect her dues.
P.S., her demands also resemble, not a little, a protection racket. So the House now appears to be operating under Mafia rules.
Is it possible that Republicans, somewhere — in Texass, of all places — have a sliver of a sense of propriety?

I doubt this has anything to do with looking bad, because they do that all the time. It probably means they want to get rid of Paxton and don’t want her interfering.

Brave Keven has so many ultra-MAGA extremist’s arms up his ass working his controls it’s a wonder he doesn’t split in two.
Trump runs the GOP. Through his mobs. Through he appointed acolytes in the House, Senate, and media. Through his constant threats. And through their depthless weakness and cowardice.

“On the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling that overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, 6 in 10 voters remain opposed to the court’s removing federal protection of the right to abortion, according to results from a new national NBC News poll.
“Nearly 80% of female voters ages 18-49, two-thirds of suburban women, 60% of independents and even a third of Republican voters say they disapprove. And by more than a 2-to-1 ratio, voters say abortion access across the country has become too difficult rather than too easy. ”
