Between the election and Veterans Day, I haven’t posted one of these in a while and frankly, I have too many tabs open.
– The attacks on transgender people are not just a metaphor.
– Downtown Spokane is doing better than the naysayers suggest.
– I somehow got into my head that the new station on the 1 Line was already called 130th, but apparently there are 4 finalists.
– More and more people are taking the G Line.
– Welcome to the high minimum wage club, Everett.
– Seattle looking into using a King County facility in ways the county isn’t going to do?
– Also, Washington has shut down the vaccine locator. You should still get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible, but it’s no longer a struggle to figure out where to find a vaccine. So do I need a new closing?
Pete Hegseth did tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and at Gitmo. He was active military and National Guard.
After Biden’s Afghanistan disaster, it is comforting to know that Hegseth and Rubio will be running the military show, instead of the clown car that is Austin and Blinken.
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit and Welfare Queen YLB would do well to ponder Nate Silver’s last sentence in this passage:
How many times has HA’s bloviating, useless fuck written something to the effect of “Good riddance – Democrats don’t want you in our party.”?
Look around, libbies. How many Blue Dogs are still in your midst? Therein lies the lesson.
Think on your sins.
I wonder if Scotty P understands that by defining an ethical framework in terms of the existence of evil (sin), he is by definition negating the existence of “God”?
Scotty P is either an atheist or an idiot. Interesting if he should turn out to be an atheist. But my gut tells me idiot.
@ 3
Interesting if he should turn out to be an atheist.
I prefer agnostic. Disbeliever or skeptic if you will. Having a Methodist minister uncle didn’t take, ultimately.
The Good Book says that the heavens and earth were created in seven days. Doesn’t say those were 24 hour days. Even the finest watches need calibration before they are offered for sale.
Parse my comments as much as you like. Doesn’t change the reality that you lost the White House, the Senate, and (likely) a couple of House seats.
Credit card debt 2020 Q4: $819 billion
Credit card debt 2024 Q3: $1,17X billion
Up $24 billion since the previous quarter.
Right about now Bi-Done is hosting Literally Hitler in the White House, a first public step in the discussion of the power transfer to the Nazi Party.
Maybe Democrats shouldn’t have weaponized the federal government, in light of what’s about to happen.
Partial dissent by Sri Srinivasan, who made some very good points about the overstep of the majority. I hope he is at the top of the list the next time a Democrat occupies the White House.
Court Vaporizes 50 Years of Environmental Law, Leaving Trump’s EPA to Build on the Ashes
Just in time for Lee Zeldin to lay waste to the EPA’s overly burdensome restriction of progress. Chevron will come in handy, too.
So. much. winning.
29,316. A couple of thousand more votes have trickled in, and this is now the deficit Casey faces.
Will the Philadelphia Fraud Machine be enough? Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit has staked his towering reputation on it.
Musk was 10 years old in 1982 when Ronald Reagan appointed entrepreneur J. Peter Grace to purge government of waste and mismanagement.
Instructed by Reagan not to “leave any stone unturned” combating “inefficiency,” Grace found that under every stone lurks someone like
“a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism.”
the Hoover Dam was being sold to parts of three Western states at Depression-era rates that were one-fourth to one-fourteenth of those paid by unsubsidized Americans. Congress responded to Grace’s proposal — stop this! — by stampeding to extend for 30 more years this way-below-market price of a federal resource.
The Republican-controlled Senate voted 64-34, with Western senators unanimously adamant about continuing the subsidy lest an obnoxious principle — federal resources should be sold at market prices — be extended to water, grazing fees and other natural rights. Heaven forbid.

To get their way fascists use imprisonment, threats, intimidation and deadly force. By this measure Reagan was a wannabe. It remains to be seen if the current fascist crowd can raise the appropriately scaled army of thugs to impose their authoritarian will.

Burn it all down.
I’ve got plenty of marshmallows and lots more time than you do, gramps.
What, no mention of Mastodon?
No mention of being demonetized for acting like an asshole in front of the owner.
Biggest loser: QoS McHillbilly, who is increasingly lonely in his Mastodon hangout.
Shorter @ 9
Well, gee fellas, since it didn’t work 40 years ago when there were only 150ish Republicans in the House and nobody had computers, I guess there’s no sense looking at government waste to see if we can do anything about it ever again.
There’s no way the owner of SpaceX will ever be able to identify ways to save money at NASA. He doesn’t have the necessary experience, amirite?
Plus, Goldy says he’s a fascist.
Judging from this photo it doesn’t really look like Biden truly believes that he’s holding a meeting with Literally Hitler.
Joe voted for Donald. DOCTOR Jill voted for Donald, twice.
Mark Zuckerberg federated Threads (built on ActivityPub) so any account there can now be followed on any other ActivityPub platform. There are hundreds more implementations and platforms to choose from too. And not just micro blogging. For example there’s Pixelfed, which focuses on image sharing, Funkwhale for music and podcasts, and Lemmy for sharing interests, expertise, news, and information like reddit, just to name a few. ActivityPub allows independent interoperability with no dominant platform and no single “host” able to set the rules. And best of all, since each individual user gets to choose (or build) their own server implementation and curate their own experience fake, bot, and troll accounts can’t survive. Scotty P would absolutely hate it. No fake FB friends from CO.
“Welcome back.”
Sounds like somebody doesn’t want to be the one to pardon his own POS offspring.

The Bidens need the Trumps far more than the Trumps will need the Bidens.
Meanwhile, Boxcheck Momala will need a job.

There were lots of alternatives to Harris and Trump on my ballot, too.
You need a cat herder. You won’t find one.
Welfare Queen YLB twisted her panties for not much gain.
Will libbies be stupid enough to claim yet again that “Dobbs is on the ballot”? Because it wasn’t in 2024.
You used up Dobbs in 2022, libbies. It’s now a state issue. Been that way for more than two years.
Does this mean I’m getting a pardon?
Yes master, just as I did your bidding on the border and so much more, I will recess for you.

@ 23
If only Democrats had spent more time looking into Walz’ childhood before Boxcheck Momala put him on the ticket.
@3 My gut says atheist idiot. Confirmed @4.
@4 “lost … a couple of House seats.”
This is what passes for a red wave these days.
@5 Yes, my banks stocks are doing well by paying 0.1% interest on savings accounts and collecting 30% interest on credit cards.
So, far Trump is staffing his second term with the wrong people. The Neocons are maintaining their lock on government.
@7 “Court Vaporizes 50 Years of Environmental Law, Leaving Trump’s EPA to Build on the Ashes”
Uh, no. All the environmental statutes — NEPA, RCRA, CERCLA, ESA, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Acts, etc. — are still there as is the vast body of caselaw interpreting and applying them.
All this court did was rule that executive orders aren’t laws. A side effect is that when the president establishes an advisory council by executive order, its opinions are advisory.
Thus presidents can’t issue laws, only sign laws issued by Congress, which it seems to me will significantly hamstring President #47 going forward. A court ruling strengthening the separation of powers, and limiting executive power, probably is the last thing Fat Hitler wants to read right now.
The atheist idiot @8 doesn’t understand that McCormick’s lead is shrinking because ballots are still being counted in Democratic-leaning precincts, not because “votes are trickling in.” But although he has no understanding of why Casey is gaining on McCormick, this informational input is sufficient to trigger his fraud reflexes.
It’s good to see his motor cortex still works, which implies he isn’t dead, even though his cerebral cortex doesn’t. I wonder if he could feel a feather applied to his feet soles? I have crow friends willing to donate a feather to find out if that part of him is still alive.
@13 “There’s no way the owner of SpaceX will ever be able to identify ways to save money at NASA.”
It’ll be hard to do when most of NASA’s budget goes to Space-X contracts. But he can try to cancel the other parts.
@14 @17 Biden is being civil, something Trump doesn’t know how to do, and wouldn’t do if did.
America’s political parties are mislabeled. They’re probably called the Homo Sapiens Party and the Neanderthal Party.
@19 “There were lots of alternatives to Harris and Trump on my ballot, too.”
And they all lost, as did every candidate and initiative you voted for in the Washington state elections.
@29 Pedophile for attorney general, Russian asset for DNI, still looking for a CIA slot to put Maria Buttina in.
Gabbard won’t have anything to do as director of national intelligence, because there won’t be any.
As the Trump admin modifies roles, after the Education Department is shut down, the “director of national intelligence” will be put in charge of purging school libraries.
@35 Once my dear leader grants me a position of importance I’ll bring Maria in as my personal assistant. With President Putin’s full blessing of course.
ICEBERG 2024 WINS!!!
TAKE THAT LIBTARDS!
@38 Need a deck chair?
I’ll be fine. My lifeboat is equipped with motor, ample fuel, and sails; and is well provisioned with water and food (crates of freeze-dried lettuce) for ocean crossings. There’s an overhead cover for storms, a GPS for navigation, and air mattress and fluffy eiderdown for sleeping. See you guys in New York Harbor. That is, if you make it there.
McCormick’s lead continues to shrink, now down to 26.5K, with over 100K ballots from Democratic-leaning areas outstanding, and a recount appears inevitable. Casey hasn’t conceded, and that seems neither warranted nor appropriate at this time.

@ 40
… with over 100K ballots from Democratic-leaning areas outstanding …
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, you continue to debase yourself over this.
The 100k estimate was from a Friday article (that’s the date of the The Hill piece), now five days old. At the time it called the race, The AP had an estimate of 91,000 votes left to count:
Show HA peeps a current statement from a credible source supporting your claim that there are still 100k votes left to count, you bloviating fuck.
Spoiler: You can’t.
Gaetz has already resigned from Congress. DeSantis will have his seat filled by the time the new Congress is seated.
Speaker Johnson’s Whip and other support have already gamed this out. The new Congress and the new Administration will make maximum use of the next two years.
Lawfare at the DOJ might not end. But the weapon will be wielded different, that’s for damned sure.
We could not have done it without the incompetence of the current administration and the even greater incompetence demonstrated by the DNC ticket, so thank you, Democrats, for handing conservatives such a welcome gift.
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit haz a sad.
Nowhere near.
The rumor is that the Democrat counties have counted far more than they are reporting, because it’s clear there won’t be enough to make a difference, so they are slow-walking the process in hopes that a miracle or a fraud might occur before they are required to ‘fess up.
