Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 3/12/25, 8:17 am

Most jobs should not require a driver’s license. Like, if you aren’t driving, who cares? You get a wider pool, and also driving makes people nuts; I am on the bus right now and writing an incoherent post instead of being angry with the car in front of me.

All this to say, I am glad that a bill about it has passed the Washington House. No idea about its prospects in the Senate, but it sure would be nice.

Anyway, it’s a good day to contact your legislator or member of Congress. Maybe your US Senator on the budget.

    US Housing Market Given Bleak Prediction
    It will take more than seven years for the U.S. to solve the current housing affordability crisis and tariffs will raise price of new homes even further. For aspiring home buyers weighed down by rising home prices, this is a bleak prediction that relief won’t be coming. It is also bad news for Donald Trump, who had promised to lower the cost of housing and grow supply during the first years of his second administration.
    Republicans did that.

    Why are no Democrats claiming that if the Department of Education is shuttered, public school student performance will be even worse?

    Jimmy Carter started the Department keeping a promise to Teacher’s unions. But he was skeptical. Democratic Congress support was lukewarm but the NEA wanted it and that was that.

    Veterans wanted a cabinet level head of the VA and that was that but bonzo made that happen and that was ok.

    Federal involvement in public education overall meant improvement..

    Desegregation closed the racial gap in student performance.

    Disabled kids got help with services for their education.

    An emphasis on testing (misguided) led to improved test scores in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. Dumbya Bush supported stricter standands and so did Obama.

    DoE involvment helps rural communities.

    DoE won’t be totally “shuttered”. It takes an act of Congress to do that.

    Say, why have three Senate Democrats already called it quits? Isn’t it the midterm election when the minority party makes gains?

    Dems’ own polling shows massive brand problem ahead of 2026

    Especially alarming for Democrats were findings around voters’ views of Democrats and work. Just 44 percent of those polled said they think Democrats respect work, while even fewer — 39 percent — said the party values work. Only 42 percent said Democrats share their values. A majority, meanwhile — 56 percent — said Democrats are not looking out for working people.

    Only 39 percent believe Democrats have the right priorities.

    Well, this is the impression people get when liberals like Welfare Queen YLB are allowed to say that the well-off should be taxed at 90-91% rates so that she and her two fucked kids don’t have to work for a living.

    That’s 91 percent of income OVER what’s today 3.4 million.

    But the problem isn’t income inequality..

    It’s wealth inequality. Gary Stevenson supports a wealth tax of 1 percent on asset holdings over 10 million, take your pick pounds, euros or dollars. That means rich assholes unload their assets to make them cheaper for the rest of us.

    Assets like fucking HOUSES that are being bought up by Blackstone and their ilk..

    Assets like business and public companies being acquired by Private Equity.

    The Oligarchs are hollowing out the economy.. They’re bidding up the prices of assets by hoovering them up.. Ordinary people, especially younger people can’t own houses. Fewer and fewer of them own shares in public companies.

    At least five Democratic lawmakers on Sunday took issue with the party’s uncoordinated response to President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress last week.

    “The lack of a coordinated response in the State of the Union was a mistake,” Sen. Adam Schiff of California said on ABC News’ “This Week,” referring to Trump’s joint address.

    Young voters’ alternative was a not fascist who promised to give them $25,000 toward a down payment.

    Why, surely. Without any effect on the resultant number of buyers bidding for a house, and without any effect on the resultant home sale price.

    Rich risk less capital on construction so the rest of you see fewer newly constructed houses, while your “free” $25,000 increases the number of buyers bidding on each of the few available dwelling.

Destruction of used cars intended to spur new car purchases instead caused used car prices to spike because demand became unbalanced by supply.

    President Donald Trump issued a pardon to former Tennessee state Sen. Brian Kelsey, just 15 days after that Republican began serving a 21-month prison sentence for a campaign finance conspiracy criminal conviction.

    “God used Donald Trump to save me,” Kelsey, 47, told CNBC in a phone interview Wednesday, a day after his release from a federal prison camp in Ashland, Kentucky. “His election saved me from the Biden” Department of Justice, Kelsey said.

    Kelsey, a lawyer who lives in Germantown, Tennessee, announced that Trump had given him “a full and unconditional pardon” in a tweet on the social media site X.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/trump-pardon-tennessee-brian-kelsey-prison-campaign-doj.html

    1. You don’t get 15 months in federal prison for nothing.
    2. This guy is a lawyer and knew he was breaking the law.
    3. He was pardoned because he’s a Republican, not because he deserves a pardon (he clearly doesn’t).
    4. Republicans don’t take campaign finance laws seriously.
    5. To Republicans, violating such laws is a duty, not a crime.

    Hoovered up houses, public companies, farmland and on and on and on.. More wealth concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. And it’s accelerating. It’s why the economy never gets better for the bottom 90 percent and even gets worse for 9 out of the top 10 percent. Those are the people gooning hardest for tax cuts – people like dumbfuck.

    So why shouldn’t they pay back?

Work long hours in trading, finance and investment banking and getting a payday only if they made the rich way richer than the bonus they got. Teach their kids in elite schools.

    You should really ask what Musk has not done. For instance, he did not return our astronauts.

    Fortune
    Elon Musk’s offer to bring home stranded astronauts never reached the space station, say NASA astronauts who are still in orbit after 9 months

    Last year, Musk offered to help bring the two astronauts home sooner than planned, but he claims he was rejected by the Biden administration.

    “They were left up there for political reasons, which is not good,” Musk said…

    In a Tuesday press conference, Williams and Wilmore were asked to confirm the credibility of Musk’s statements about the Biden administration. Wilmore said it “is absolutely factual,” while still choosing his words carefully so as not to pick sides.

    Williams and Wilmore are the stranded astronauts.

    Now, months later, Musk’s SpaceX will bring home the astronauts. So the useless, bloviating fuck who is Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit can look forward to that, even though he will never acknowledge that it is Musk’s company that will accomplish what Team Biden’s recovery plan could not.

    If Senate Dems opt to block cloture for the CR my advice would be to make their reasons purely partisan.

    By that, I mean that they should make it absolutely clear that they don’t give their votes without getting any voice in the process either as individual voting members of the Senate or as a partisan caucus. If extremist MAGA Republicans choose to shut out Democrats from lawmaking then extremist MAGA Republicans must make laws on their own. After all, they don’t have any problem with ignoring or breaking the same laws on their own.

    I know some worry about injecting “partisanship” into a process that can result in shutting down the government. But trying to explain policy differences to these voters is pointless. If they vote against the CR and then go on television to argue detailed spending policy they will lose support. But if they vote against the CR and then go on television to argue for GIVING ALL AMERICANS A VOICE then they will win support.

    Again, I think the better strategy is for them to just give Republicans the votes they need to fuck themselves in the ass.

    On Tuesday, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins faced a pointed question about her department’s cuts for such programs on the Trump-friendly Fox News network. After reading a headline about the cuts, anchor Bill Hemmer asked, “How do you justify that?”

    Rollins responded with a rambling, and transphobic, explanation in which she called the programs “nonessential” and equated them to other contracts she said the USDA canceled that supported what she called “food justice for trans people in New York and San Francisco.” In essence, the secretary portrayed these vital programs, which help make sure kids and poor people don’t starve, as forms of Biden administration largesse, baselessly claiming they are evidence of the previous administration trying to “push … taxpayer dollars out that is not reaching its intended target.”

    YLB – hell no. You are over 18 and now you gotta pay us rent. I don’t care if you need to save money. Go get a damn student loan.

    YLB jr – are you serious? I gotta pay rent to sleep in my own bedroom? It’s just temporary. And I really need to save some money for school.

    YLB – we don’t care. We want our money. Besides, our finances are so poorly handled, that we have to rent out your room AND the garage just to pay the bills.

    YLB jr – wait….so you’re telling me that because you can’t run a successful household, I have to suffer? And now you are forcing me into debt before my career has even started.

    YLB – we really don’t care. If you don’t like “the best deal in seattle”, then gtfo. Otherwise pay up and give us rent money.

    ICE has now returned all the immigration detainees it has sent to Guantanamo since Fat Hitler’s inauguration back to facilities inside the U.S.

    Fat Hitler spent $16 million revamping Gitmo to recieve immigration detainees. And now ICE has admitted that it’s too expensive to house them there.

    Each C-17 flight comes with a $250,000 price tag attached. Each C-130E flight rings up at over $800,000. A C-17 carries just 80 immigrant detainees. MAGA idiots claim to be targeting the removal of over 10 million immigrants.

    This is the single best proof of the case that MAGA supporters are simply very stupid people. This is some fairly basic, simple math. Anyone with the native calculator app on their phone can do this. But MAGA turds are in fact too stupid to do it. So they end up taking on faith that Fat Hitler can follow through on his single most important campaign promise. Even just one million deportations will cost over $31 billion dollars just for transportation alone.

    ICE reports detaining an average of 640 immigrants per day since inauguration day. At that rate it will take 41 years to remove 10 million immigrants.

    Of course the point of all this is not the outcome that MAGA turds yearn for. Just the theatrics of suffering. As long as they can watch some people suffer for their amusement in large enough numbers they’ll be satisfied, even if that still means “press one for English” and the lady at the taco truck speaking with an accent. But to reach credible and convincing numbers even far below the stated targets will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. That money has to come from somewhere. It will be siphoned out of the economy and spent in a way that causes massive workforce disruption and productivity collapse in key economic sectors.

    Predictably Russia has formally refused Fat Hitler’s proposal for a cease fire against Ukraine.

    That is not how it is being reported. ABC News:

    LONDON — In his first public remarks on the proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin said Russia is “for it” but that he wants his own security guarantees.

    Putin raised questions regarding a 30-day ceasefire during a press briefing in Moscow on Thursday, as President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff landed in the city to discuss the proposal.

    “It seems to me, it would be very good for the Ukrainian side to reach a truce for at least 30 days. And we are for it. But there is a nuance,” Putin said, highlighting concerns regarding Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces pushed into last year in a surprise offensive but in recent weeks have seen Russian forces retake significant ground.

    “If we stop the hostilities for 30 days, what does it mean? Does it mean that everyone who is there will leave without a fight?” Putin said. “Or the Ukrainian leadership will give them an order to lay down their arms and just surrender? How will it be? It is not clear.”

    Predictably QoS McHillbilly is lying when he claims that Russia “formally refused” the proposal.

    Russia has zero reason to commit to anything until it learns how much of the land it has captured will remain with Russia once hostilities end and Ukraine is forced to capitulate.

    If Russia currently has, say, 18% of what used to be Ukraine as a result of the last three years of war, and in six months Russia will have 22-23%, then there is no reason for Russia to agree to anything if it believes that the peace proposal will require relinquishment of 90-plus% of what it has captured.

    Russia has won. Yet to be determined is the size of the victory trophy, but Russia will have more say in that than will DJT47.

    You didn’t have to pay for college and you graduated.

    I gotta pay rent..

    Thanks a bunch. That helps with mortgage we took out for the remodel. You graduated UW and you have a full time job. The rent is pretty modest.. You won’t find a better deal in Seattle.

    Thanks Dad. I don’t mind helping out the family. I have a job. I’m no freeloader.. Thanks to you and mom I have no undergraduate student debt. I’m saving up plenty of money to pay for applications to professional schools and a part of my future living expenses and I can pay for that and this low rent without breaking a sweat.

    That’s awesome son. Your mom and I are proud of you.

    Hey Dad. I just got accepted to 4 professional schools. I’ll be moving out in the summer. And I’ll be quitting the job to have some time for myself to travel and plan for the future.

    Oh that is fantastic.. Again your Mom and Dad are proud of you. Wish you the best. Don’t worry about rent. Travel and see the country while you can. Life is short. It’s too bad professional school costs so much and you’ll have to carry debt for a while but you come from a modest income family and that’s what kids from that background who take that path have to deal with. Your chosen profession pays very well and I’m sure you’ll come out ahead in the end.

    I guess I triggered the Nazi Dumbfuck by pointing out to him how incredibly stupid he was to believe Fat Hitler would remove 10 million or even 1 million immigrants. Nobody likes being called stupid. But maybe their solution lies in not being this colosally stupid.

    The math is not difficult here. And it’s worth noting that the Nazi Dumbfuck isn’t bothering with any of that inescapable math.

    Obviously the United States can’t afford to use C-17s or other military aircraft to accomplish the stupid MAGA goals. There is not enough money to pay for it and that level of utilization, even if it were possible without building thousands of new military aircraft, would still tie up every available pilot and render our military useless for a decade or more.

    But what should not be overlooked is that there really aren’t enough aircraft of any kind. Not available. U.S. commercial passenger aviation aircraft and crews would have to be substantially repurposed to even get close to the numbers they are seeking. And that would have devastating impacts to key economic sectors. The airlines would have to be compelled into it. And that would result in a huge flight of capital from every affected sector.

    To be clear, we gave Ukraine money to use to buy weapons from US defense contractors. It’s not part of US defense budget. They are separate appropriations voted on and approved five times totaling about $175 billion, or about $58 billion for each of the three years since Russia invaded. Equivalent to about 4% of DOD budget. So with an outlay equivalent to 4% of DOD we broke Russian ability to launch offensive wars against their neighbors.

    In his hearing today in which Judge Alsup issued his order for all the probationary federal employees fired by the autistic drug addicted billionaire to be immediately rehired, the judge had some terse words and instructions for the government.

    Last month OMB director Charles Ezell had submitted to the court a declaration stating that the terminations had not come down from OMB, which is the only evidence the government offered ahead of today’s hearing. Alsup had ordered Ezell to appear today in order to answer questions about that declaration. But Alsup failed to appear, and instead government counsel withdrew his declaration and attempted to substitute what the judge later described as “sham documents” created at the last minute to prevent effective cross examination of witnesses.

    It’s little wonder then that the judge moved directly to granting the preliminary injunction from the bench order the agencies to immediately rehire the fired employees. But now the question looms whether or not OMB Director Ezell will be faced with charges for having defied the order to appear.

    It’s increasingly apparent that the quality of litigator that characterized Fat Hitler’s disastrous legal struggles over the last four years in private life have followed him into office.

    Swastikar has lost 14 points of US market share in just 12 months.

    Context is key:

    Bud Light sales fell by nearly half. It now has a little more than 6% of the market, and it’s in third place.

    TSLA sales fell 11%. It retains 42.5% of the US market, and is still in first place by a wide margin.

    TSLA also makes money by selling cars. By way of comparison, Ford lost $3B last year selling EVs.

    Third, while I love the graph, it refutes your contention that he could, given time, “dig himself out.” That graph line, as I see it, goes straight down and another term after this one would only take it lower.

    “Every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders. The Government of Canada cannot intervene on behalf of Canadian citizens with regard to the entry and exit requirements of another country,” the statement read.

    That strikes me as disingenuous. This isn’t about barring a Canadian citizen from entry to the U.S., it’s about the U.S. government detaining a Canadian citizen in prison-like conditions. The U.S. government intervenes on behalf of wrongfully detained U.S. citizens held in other countries, and the Canadian government can, and does, do the same thing.

    @156 Who the f— is @End Wokeness? Another of your “sources”? Here’s what’s actually going down:

    1. Some anonymous wingnut blogger posts a 48-second video clip of an MSNBC host asking guests if vandalism equates to “domestic terrorism” (e.g., the 1994 OKC bombing). A legitimate question, by the way; and asking the question in no way endorses vandalism or whatever you choose to call it.

    2. Anonymous wingnut blogger claims the MSNBC host asking her guests whether the violence against Tesla dealerships should be characterized as “vandalism” or “domestic terrorism” constitutes “justifying” the vandalism, domestic terrorism, or whatever s/he chooses to call it.

    3. Doctor Dumbfuck swallows this stupendous stretch whole, and reposts it on HA thinking he has a “gotcha” against (mostly peaceful) anti-Tesla protests.

    If you were to ask @End Wokeness if Jan. 6, 2021, was vandalism or domestic terrorism, s/he probably would come back with “tourism” or possibly “FBI false flag.” S/he might agree, though, that 1994 OKC was domestic terrorism, not merely vandalism.

    Nothing in that MSNBC video clip suggests the host, or more broadly MSNBC, endorses or “justifies” acts of political violence. That’s an add-on by @End Wokeness, and it’s the sort of lying typical of such folks. It shouldn’t be necessary for me to spell this out to Doctor Dumbfuck, but I have to because he’s a dumbfuck.

    Sitting here ruminating on the depth of Doctor Dumbfuck’s gullibility and stupidity, I can’t help asking myself, how did he ever become a doctor, even a mere radiologist? Did he pay someone to take the boards for him? Does he even have a driver’s license? He strikes me as someone too stupid to operate a motor vehicle of any sort, even a riding lawn mower.

    Now let’s go to a real source, to wit, CBP’s official website:

    “Arrests of Individuals with Criminal Convictions

    “This table organizes nationwide convictions of criminal aliens by type of criminal conduct. Because some criminal aliens may be convicted of multiple criminal offenses, total convictions listed below exceed the total arrests noted in the table above.

    “Homicide, manslaughter … FY17 – 3, FY18 – 3, FY19 – 2, FY20 – 3, FY21 – 60, FY22 – 62, FY23 -29, FY24YTD – 29

    “The FY total displays the total CES apprehensions but does not equal the sum of data by category because the same apprehension can have multiple NCIC Charges that are included in multiple categories.”

    Now, the abrupt shift higher in arrests of illegals convicted in the U.S. of homicide beginning in 2021 (i.e., 20X the preceding 4 years of Trump’s first administration) could mean illegals were committing more murders, but it more likely means Trump was busy playing golf for four years, while Biden took his job more seriously and began deporting illegals who commit murder.

    In any case, the total number of illegals convicted of homicide was 11 under Trump and 180 under Biden, which equals 191 over an 8-year period, which is <18,000.

    This is really simple, doc: Consider your 18,000 number shoved back up where you got it from.

    Newmax agreed to pay Smartmatic $40 million as part of a settlement last year following the voting technology company’s election defamation lawsuit against the right-wing news outlet, according to a new regulatory filing.

    The settlement, reached in September, included a cash payment and an option to purchase stock in Newsmax, the media company said in its filing. Newsmax said payments totaling $20 million have already been made, with the remainder coming before July.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/media/newsmax-agreed-pay-smartmatic-40-million-settlement-voting-machine-rcna196359

    Newsmax Inc. (“Newsmax” or the “Company”) today announced the launch of its initial public offering (IPO) under Regulation A+, inviting investors nationwide to become shareholders in its rapidly evolving television and digital media platforms.

    Last week the Company’s Offering Statement was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company is now seeking to raise up to $75 million with a planned March 31, 2025 listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “NMAX”, subject to NYSE approval.

    Newsmax’s Public Offering comes shortly after it completed a private Preferred Offering in February raising $225 million, oversubscribing the offering by $75 million.

    https://markets.financialcontent.com/stocks/article/bizwire-2025-3-11-newsmax-begins-initial-public-offering-plans-to-list-on-nyse

    If I were Smartmatic, I’d take the $40 payout in Newsmax Inc. stock if it gave me voting control of the board. Then I’d get rid of the chairman, the rest of the board, all the editorial staff, and turn it into a legitimate news organization.

    By the way, “today” refers to March 11, 2025, and “last week” refers to Match 2-8, 2025. This announcement was two days ago.

    The fact Newsmax paid Smartmatic 40 million bucks to settle the latter’s defamation claims certainly suggests those claims have substantial legal merit, because nobody pays out that kind of money unless their lawyers are telling them they’ll likely lose in court. But as hefty as this settlement is, Newsmax is small fry, and Fox News has much deeper pockets, a much larger audience, and far greater liability, so this isn’t good news for Fox or the Murdochs.

    Gordon Schiff and Celeste Royce are Harvard Medical School professors whose research focuses on patient safety. Their peer-reviewed articles — all of them — were pulled down from an HHS website “solely because they contained terms such as ‘LGBTQ’ and ‘transgender,’ the lawsuit states.”

    Screw patient safety, let thousands of patients die because of dumbfuck doctors, it’s more important to purge those words from America’s now-official language.

    Question: How is it that one individual, who never ran for office, never was elected to office, and never revealed his plans to the public, is able to wreak such havoc on our country? And why is the entire Republican Party letting him?

    If there is ever to be accountability for this, voters will have to take it out on Republican candidates, whoever and wherever they are, and whatever office they’re running for, whether it’s Congress or dogcatcher. Which is fine with me.

They called the cops when it was appropriate to call the cops for crowd control, citing disorderly persons, evicting trespassers, and arresting vandals. How is that letting “him” go too far?

    @230 Allow me to introduce HA’s Neville Chamberlain:

    Yeah. It would have to be retaken by force. And we’re not gonna do that, and Europe can’t do that and doesn’t have the balls to do it if they could.

    That’s exactly what we did the last time a European power invaded its neighbors. Did FDR tell Churchill to negotiate with Hitler over how much of the conquered countries he’d be allowed to keep? No, he armed Britain, similar to what we’ve been doing in Ukraine until Trump came back. The French Resistance fought for their country; so did Yugoslav, Greek, and Russian partisans. So don’t lecture Europeans about what they can or can’t do, or about “balls.” You voted three times for a draft dodger who didn’t even have the balls to seek a safe, comfy National Guard billet when his generating was fighting communist tyranny in Vietnam. As a Vietnam veteran I say to you, Trump, and all your ilk: Fuck you, when I want to put surrender monkeys in charge of democracies’ defense, I’ll let you know. Don’t hold your breath.

    The “daily reality” is that Ukraine, with American weapons and aid, stopped the Russian invaders in their tracks and inflicted hundreds of thousands of casualties on them. And now you and Trump want to give it all away. My advice is ask the Ukrainians what they need instead of trying to make Putin happy.

    Republicans are trying to eliminate the estate tax again …

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-senate-republicans-fail-solve-220503462.html

    … and pay for it by taking Medicaid away from kids. I’ll go along with eliminating the estate tax if inheritances are taxed as ordinary income of the heirs. Heck, I’ll even go along with letting heirs pay capital gains taxes on inherited property and assets when they’re sold if the basis stepup is eliminated. But we need Medicaid and school lunches more than we need a class of privileged characters getting millions of dollars they didn’t work for tax-free. Why not give tax breaks to working folks instead?

    Hey doc, remember the polls you posted, oh, a week or two ago? There’s a new one:

    A majority of Americans, 53%, disapprove of the president’s performance overall, with just 42% approving. That’s a significant swing (11 points) on the disapproval side from Quinnipiac’s January 29 poll, which found 46% percent of Americans approved of the new president’s performance, and 42% disapproved.

    Also,

    Fox News host Jessica Tarlov gave an overview of the poll’s results, telling viewers (video below), “So basically, he is underwater on everything.”

    Burn pit fund for veterans on chopping block in GOP spending bill

    Democratic lawmakers and veterans’ groups are fuming over a provision in a stopgap federal spending bill passed by House Republicans this week that would cut a Department of Veteran Affairs fund meant to cover costs for illnesses linked to military burn pits and other chemical exposure. …

    “It cuts more than $20 billion in funding needed to provide care for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances next year,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said on the Senate floor Thursday.

    https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5194764-democrats-republicans-veterans-funding/

    Defending our country made you chronically ill? Fuck you, ya should’ve dodged the draft like Trump!!!

    The Pentagon doesn’t allow polls of active-duty personnel, but it’s long been widely assumed they predominantly vote Republican (unless they’re black, in which case the GOP goes to extraordinary lengths to prevent them from voting). And veterans historically have leaned Republican.

    Their reward is having their benefits slashed by a funny guy with a stutter brandishing a chainsaw. No, he’s not a veteran, nor does he have any sympathy for veterans. He fled his native country to avoid military service.

    It would have been worse had not DOGE already started to bite:

    The Department of Education, a major target of DOGE for cuts, saw its outlays fall to $8 billion last month from $14 billion in the year-earlier period. The Treasury official attributed the decline to reductions in outlays for elementary and secondary education programs.

    Using your spending-is-bad rationale, then, what a good thing that DOGE prevented the federal government under DJT47 from wasting that extra $6 billion on useless teachers and failing schools.
