    As my Xmas gift to y’all I am sharing Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s desperate plea for Shortbus to have some company as a reader of handbill.us.

    I come to bury SeattleJew, not to praise him. And certainly not to cause embarrassment to SeattleJew’s family in the way that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit has done.

    Nine percent of VA voters who supported Biden in 2020 switched to Youngkin in 2021.

    A wise Democrat would become less batshit crazy. A dumbfuck Democrat would continue to listen to Pramila Jayapal.

    The FBI’s criminal investigation of #CrookedHillary was a message in 2016. Youngkin is a message for 2022 and 2024.

    Or perhaps y’all libbies prefer to roll the dice with Breyer the way y’all did with RBG.

    When Roe and Casey are gutted, it will be because RBG was replaced by Amy Coney Barrett.

    After Biden said today that Manchin “was speaking to a liberal caucus in the House and said ‘Joe Biden didn’t mislead you, I misled you,’” the White House follows up: “The President wanted to clarify that Senator Manchin did not characterize himself as having been ‘misleading.’

    …less batshit crazy.

    Such as claiming that George Soros has concealed a laser weapon behind the moon and used it to help Joe Biden steal the election…

    Bob, you need to understand that so long as you and Republicans like you refuse to repudiate the fundamental, anti-American, anti-democratic falsehoods that now animate your party and all your voters we don’t give a fuck what you think is “crazy”.

    Maybe Dan Crenshaw can lecture Democrats. You and your “FB friends in CO” can go to hell.

    When the medical profession figures out how to monetize it there will be dozens of variations of what is sure to be nicknamed RedChew.

    And none of them will involve a visit to Planned Parenthood.

    Do you not understand that part, QoS McHillbilly? The FDA’s decision will cause PP to remake itself to actually begin providing health care to women, rather than just using health care as a cover to kill the unborn.

    I believe Kim Potter should be found guilty of both counts.

    I think the evidence presented to the jury demonstrates that she was reckless in her handling of her service firearm, and that her recklessness lead directly to the death of Duante Wright. I think the evidence presented to the jury demonstrates that she was negligent in how she conducted herself during the arrest, and that her negligence caused the death of Daunte Wright. I think if the jury fails to reach a verdict and a mistrial is declared the prosecutor should refile on both charges and offer to let the defendant plead to the lesser charge.

    There is no law enforcement exception to the statutes. And though there may be one or two jurors who believe there ought to be such an exclusion, to vote to acquit based on that belief is simple jury nullification. The law must be applied the same to everyone. And police must be made to understand that they have a paramount duty to handle their firearms safely, carefully, and with purpose and deliberation.

    “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to” is not a defense. Not under the statute. Nor should it be. However sincere, and however credible Ms. Potter’s tearful pleading may be, they do not and they must not relieve her of her duty to be careful with her gun. She took a person’s life. In her fear, in her confusion she had other options. She was reckless in her choice to ignore all the other options. And she was negligent in failing to take the requisite minimum care to see that she wasn’t “accidentally” shooting someone.

    Handguns are dangerous things. They are machines designed to conveniently and efficiently put holes in people. Anyone who goes about in public armed with a handgun has the exact same duty of care as any police officer. We would not, and we should not excuse such a person from criminal responsibility if they got scared and confused and reacted by drawing their 2 pound handgun and began blasting away, killing someone. We might not charge them with murder. But we would, and we should charge them with manslaughter. It’s no different for police. Nor should it be. It’s not an occupational hazard. It’s an occupational duty.

    Not everybody can be a cop. Just as not everybody can be a major league pitcher or an astronaut. For all our sakes, every single police officer in America needs this reminder right now. And every single police force needs it too. They all need to stop making excuses. Our lives are at stake.

  9. 9

    And none of them will involve a visit to Planned Parenthood.

    Thanks to the FDA, neither does an abortion.

    Do you not understand that part, Bob?

    We’ve got a lot to thank the Trump Plague for besides the giant pile of dead Trump voters. Opening up telemedicine is actually my new favorite.

    But I’ll admit, it will probably further transform the practice of medicine into a soulless grind of data entry and robotic dispensing of medication for relatively low pay. Undoubtedly destined for replacement by machines. Given the incredibly high costs and dismal outcomes in American medicine, we could hardly do worse.

    Guess what Bob?

    Interesting WaPo piece by Greg Sargent, starring Seattle’s own progressive disaster Pramila Jayapal.

    Jayapal told me she contacted Manchin on Tuesday morning, and asked him to return to the original framework that Biden released in October, which laid out general goals: An expanded child tax credit for one year, ACA subsidies for four years, universal pre-K for six years, half a trillion dollars for climate, and more.

    Biden had assured House Democrats that Manchin committed to this framework and that it would win 50 Democratic senators, Jayapal notes. But Manchin now denies that commitment.

    Whether by intent or not, Sargent details the gimmickry that Manchin objects to:

    • CTC expansion but only for one year
    • ACA subsidies but only for four years (the fact that subsidies are needed here proves that the Obamacare bill did not deliver what it promised)
    • Universal pre-K but only for six years

    Sargent also reminds us that First Vegetable Joe Biden made the House progressives a promise that he could not deliver. Manchin was never on-board with it, gave Schumer a written list of what he would support and how much he would permit to be spent, and strayed minimally from that list (he might have expressed willingness to spend a little more if it was done honestly).

    This is the House’s fault, and Biden’s fault. No point blaming Manchin for something he’s been consistent on for months.

    There’s a reason that House Democrats considered to be “moderates” are jumping ship. They no longer recognize their party.

  12. 12

    …something he’s been consistent on for months.

    According to…
    …Manchin.

    And even if this were true, which it is not, it’s a piss poor example of lawmaking in a democratic legislative body, to claim to announce inflexible conditions on every single aspect of a negotiation even before it begins.

    Reminds me of…

    … Republicans.
    Huh. Whad’ya know?

    @2 “The FBI’s criminal investigation of #CrookedHillary” produced no indictments.

    Two buses, a ferry, and another bus to return home after dropping a vehicle off at one of the few mechanic shops worth the commute effort.

    There’s a two-hour wait for drivers returning home, so even with all of the public transit I’ll be home faster as a commuter than I would if I was driving.

    That final bus I’ll take is “free”. ’cause that’s the word Democrats use to describe a service that obviously costs money, when the contribution doesn’t come from my own pocket on the specific day I use said service. It comes out of my tax dollars.

    Railfan, if you’re on this ferry, you’ll recognize me as the guy taking you for granted.

    There are now four non-Latino Dems poised to run in Latino majority CA seats: Reps. Josh Harder in #CA13, Zoe Lofgren in #CA18, Jim Costa in #CA21 and Mark Takano in #CA39.

    What’s the point of creating Latino-majority districts if they are then told to sit down and STFU by white liberals? (Yes, I know Takano’s not white. He’s also not Latino. Or straight, for that matter.)

    The autopsy report revealed that JacksonMoobs McScrote suffered from alcoholic cardiomyopathy, hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, esophageal varices, ascites, jaundice, remote pancreatitis, renal failure and hyponatremia dehydration, cardiovascular disease and intoxication by ethyl alcohol — all consistent with chronic alcohol use. The medical examiner found that he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.28%.

    Fedex from TN? Always thought it was an always wrong wing kompany..

    Fedex CEO Fred Smith said supply-chain issues are “not all solved” but that “most of Santa Claus’ products will be delivered to the consumers.”

    Inflation pressures should ease as labor shortages in the logistics industry are filled, he said. “We think the peak season is going to be a good one.”

    and that’s not all..

    Last month, Walmart Chief Executive Doug McMillon said a decision to extend port hours was having a positive impact on the flow of goods.

    Riding a “free” bus? Nice to see you take advantage of socialism! Way to go! Being such a stalwart anti-socialist you should have demanded to pay for the bus ride you took.

    “All aboard the Magic Bus!”, so said The Who.

    Never mind the ferry you rode was subsidized so you didn’t really pay the true cost of operations for your Ride.

    Face it, you are a strong supporter of socialism. You would vote for Sawant if you could and you have a sad because you can’t.

    @8, 30 China tore down Hong Kong’s Tiananmen massacre monument last night.

    Xi Jinping probably would say it’s like America tearing down Confederate statutes. He also might say what China did at Tiananmen Square, America did at Kent State.

    When America’s Capitol was attacked by violent insurgents, it didn’t do China did to peaceful demonstrators in Beijing. Only one Capitol rioter was shot by police. China killed thousands.

    And American authorities didn’t tear down the Kent State memorial. It’s still there.

    America and China are not the same.

    A prominent Democrat gives the unlikable Kamala Harris the quick shiv:

    Representative Henry Cuellar, a moderate from Texas and one of the more prominent voices on border issues in the Democratic Party, said his experiences with Ms. Harris’s team had been disappointing. When Mr. Cuellar heard Ms. Harris was traveling to the border in June, he had his staff call her office to offer help and advice for her visit. He never received a call back.

    “I say this very respectfully to her: I moved on,” Mr. Cuellar said. “She was tasked with that job, it doesn’t look like she’s very interested in this, so we are going to move on to other folks that work on this issue.”

    In the future, Mr. Cuellar said he would go straight to the West Wing with his concerns on migration rather than the vice president’s office.

    Of the White House, Mr. Cuellar said, “at least they talk to you.”

    This NYT piece, plus the ABC interview with Biden, make it clear to those listening that both spots on the DNC ticket are up for grabs in 2024.

    This is why we’re seeing #CrookedHillary slither out of her hole of late. She’s running.

    And it will be glorious.

    How can YLB not love this woman?

    Voting and making it safe and easy for citizens to vote.

    Examples of some undemocratic activities;
    Building pipe bombs and bringing them to The Capital to stop a lawful election count because you lost;
    Calling upon a mob to assassinate your Vice President because he refused to overturn an election that you lost;
    Encouraging a room full of half-drunk gun-humpers to engage in sniper fire at agency officials because you disagree with rulemaking;
    Harassing voters, and passing laws to make it illegal to vote or help people vote.

    In San Francisco, the SFMTA is considering options for returning the MUNI J-Church Line to the subway. Since resumption of the subway, the J line has been a shuttle, while 3 other routes use it. If it returns to the pre-pandemic situation, they may consider keeping the J on the surface, and Go BACK to the old PCC cars. It was a good design, but consumer tastes, and government policies favoring the automobile led to the vehicle not being allowed to reach it’s full potential.

    https://railfan.com/more-work-for-muni-pccs/

    The current fleet for the F-Market and Wharves and E-Embarcadero lines are a mix of one’s MUNI bought new in the 40s and 50s, second hand from other cities abandoning streetcar service, and third hand. If the Union had been willing to go to one man operation in the early Fifties, several other lines would have survived, and MUNI order several hundred more PCCs.

    David Brin posted about this odd trend that you see in the greedy racist incel’s posts.

    Significant and consistent. “The post-truth era has taken many by surprise. Here, we use massive language analysis to demonstrate that the rise of fact-free argumentation may perhaps be understood as part of a deeper change. After the year 1850, the use of sentiment-laden words in Google Books declined systematically, while the use of words associated with fact-based argumentation rose steadily. This pattern reversed in the 1980s, and this change accelerated around 2007, when across languages, the frequency of fact-related words dropped while emotion-laden language surged, a trend paralleled by a shift from collectivistic to individualistic language.”
    This is reflected by the way the entire Mad Right and large swathes of the far-left are obsessed with SYMBOLISM… issues that cannot be refuted by facts and have little to do with achieving palpable outcomes, but are aimed at riling up client groups. (The absolute lack of any positive metrics should have refuted the “supply side” cult long ago.)

    @43 Eyman is nicer than Trumpers are. He respected the outcome of elections, even when he lost, and never baselessly claimed voting fraud. He didn’t brandish guns in public buildings, threaten the lives of election or school board officials, or incite his followers storm the state capitol. All he did was steal; and his stealing grew progressively more benign, from embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to walking out of an Office Depot with a $70 office chair. All this makes him one of the best Republicans out there, relatively speaking of course, and the world would be a better place if most Republicans were more like him, again relatively speaking.

    Reckless and negligent sport-murdering cop is guilty on all counts.

    54,
    “Deadlock” would result in a mistrial, not a “trial outcome”. Local criminal courts have local rules and practices. This court appears to follow this particular practice of announcing a “trial outcome” once the jury foreperson informs the bailiff that they have reached a verdict in a case. Then the court announces that publicly and then waits to reconvene for the jury to read their verdict in public forum.

    And here’s the “new normal”:

    On December 14, 2020, Wisconsin’s duly certified Presidential Electors met at the State Capitol to cast the state’s ten electoral votes in the Electoral College. On the same day, ten other individuals gathered to execute a competing set of documents, purporting to cast Wisconsin’s votes for candidates that lost the statewide election (as confirmed through the recount process and multiple judicial rulings). These “fraudulent electors” acted in violation of state law, which specifies that the people of Wisconsin choose the Presidential Electors through their votes on the November ballot.

    These fraudulent electors sent the false documents they created to the U.S. Congress, in an apparent effort to make sure that they would be counted as Wisconsin’s actual ten electoral votes on January 6th.

    Here’s what 40 years of attempted education of the gay community about STDs hath wrought:

    Reported STDs Reach All-time High for 6th Consecutive Year

    Gay and Bisexual Men

    Make up nearly half of all 2019 primary and secondary syphilis cases.
    Gonorrhea rates were 42 times that of heterosexual men in some areas.

    And hey! Turns out The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, Cuomosexual G-clown, and their buddies used The Wuhan and all of the associated “free money” from the government to engage in even more unprotected sexual activity:

    Reported STDs in the U.S. dropped then resurged during the COVID-19 pandemic – July 16, 2021
    New CDC data show that during March-April 2020, reported STD cases dramatically decreased compared to the same time in 2019. However, a resurgence in gonorrhea and syphilis cases later in the year suggest overall STDs may have increased during 2020.

    It’s all enough to make me wonder whether The Even Bigger Fucking Moron would be less stupid if only he were hetero. Or at least if he practiced safer sex.

    Silliness.

    Faithless electors in 2016 were silliness.

    Democrats grandstanding to object to various electoral vote counts in early 2017 were silliness.

    What you posted is just more of the same.

    YLB, in 2017 you pinned your hopes on faithless electors to prevent Trump’s election. Girlfriend, you’ve been unserious for well over a decade. Don’t expect to be taken seriously now, or ever. We’ve seen too much.

  86. 86

    It’s time to grow the fuck up and admit that it’s nearly business as usual.

    “Nearly” exactly the way people who don’t like counting votes when they are in the minority would like things to be.

    Like I said: samey-same-isms and whaddabout-isms gleaned from Proud Boy chatrooms.

    Things are not the same when the political opposition demonstrate that by ferrying pipe bombs to where the ballots are being counted and stab police in the neck with electroshock probes while chanting “KILL HIM WITH HIS OWN GUN!”
    Not the same at all.

    Been following attempts over the years to restore the North Coast Hiawatha, an Amtrak run between Chicago, MSP, and Seattle that was routed via Billings and Missoula. It was discontinued on the Carter Administration. It was derided by outsiders as the Mansfield Special when it was running, after the former Senate Majority Leader, Senator Mike Mansfield (D-MT). Looks like it has bipartisan support from Senators in ND, MT, ID, and Oregon. Missing are Washington and Minnesota.
    https://www.bigskyrail.org/news/media-release-northwest-us-senators-urge-the-federal-railroad-administration-to-create-passenger-rail-working-group

    I’ve always wondered if it could just be brought back as a section of the Empire Builder uncoupled at Fargo, and reconnect at Spokane. Timekeeping hinders that. Host railroads would only be two, BNSF and Montana Rail Link. MRL is well run, with a diverse traffic base, besides local industry(including agriculture), it still gets a lot of bridge traffic from former owner BNSF including the Boeing train, although they’ve had the only derailment that I know of in the decades the 737s have moved by train. One local run they have is the Gas Local, a long running shuttle involving the disruption of the Yellowstone Pipeline(Local tribes refused to renew the lease). The MRL took advantage of a rule banning tank cars from being coupled directly to the locomotive, to load the idler car, which happened to be a boxcar, with containment supplies, just in case.

    I’ve looked at the Big Sky Rail Authority map, so far, no consideration of a connection between Helena and Havre, connecting the upper tier of Montana. Network effect.

    Less perplexing, McHillbilly, when you consider that the CDC now lumps gay men with bisexual men, and those oh-so-hard-to-classify-due-to-all-the-pronoun-shit dudes now called “men who have sex with men”. Or MSM. So these MSM have their fling and then come home to the missus. The missus then gets to catch the semen of a syphilis-infected MSM.

    Should I be concerned about syphilis?
    Most cases of syphilis in the United States are among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), and syphilis
    has been increasing among MSM for more than a decade. If syphilis is not treated, it can cause serious health problems,
    including neurologic (brain and nerve) problems, eye problems, and even blindness. In addition, syphilis is linked to an
    increased risk of transmission of HIV infection.

    Half of these dudes are also HIV positive.

    C’mon, McHillbilly. Gin up some data about those newborns taking it in the ass bareback during the final trimester of their gestation.

    “But this was an entirely different five-member board than had overseen the last election. The Democratic majority of three Black women was gone. So was the Black elections supervisor.

    The county election boards have broad authority over voter access, such as polling locations and early-voting procedures. They also have considerable sway over post-election provisional-ballot tallies, audits and recounts.”

    Footage of Merkel’s Farewell as Chancellor. Military was center stage, as it occurred at the Bendlerblock, the Berlin office of the Ministry of Defrense. The Wachtbattalion Berlin is the German Equivalent of our 3rd Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard. The courtyard of that building holds special honors, the Memorial to the Resistance.

    Interesting when they built up the Bundeswehr, they took great pains to do it with a clean slate. Very few traditions carried over, the Luftwaffe has a wing named after the Red Baron, and the Wachtbattallion carris on the lineage of Infantry Regiment 9 Potsdam of the Reichswehr. Had quite a few officers who tried to remove one infamous coup organizer who succeeded on his second attempt to seize power. The rifles the Wachtbattion uses for frills, there was a controversy when they found out somebody forgot to remove the swastikas from those Mauser 98Ks.

    It’s remarkable how nothing’s changed.

    Back in the 80’s that demographic was criticized for their behavior by the people of the 2020’s that are hypocrites, and those in the 2020 have more of an effect on the people outside of their circle or those that don’t want to be part of their germs. That’s a bit of a change.

    109,
    No parole system at all in the federal BOP. Those convicted will serve what they are sentenced whether it’s life or a span of years. There’s some complex calculations for credit based on pretrial detention, and a few other things. But there is no federal parole system as there is in the states. The judge’s sentence is final. And every person sentenced knows exactly when their release date is when they start. So a sentence of life is just that and it can only be reduced if the sentence is quashed upon appeal or if a presidential pardon or reprieve is granted. Life sentences are pretty rare in the federal system.

    I see the Fucking Moron is back with a retread lie from 2012.

I emailed Darryl proof of the electronic withdrawal from our joint checking account.

    Since I honored my debt, in full, I have periodically been subject to bet-related lies by some of the most incredibly stupid people on the planet, among them a certain gay man who married a black man and thinks the world owes him for it.

    Amen Shalom Peace be with all

    It didn’t take long at all for a commenter I don’t remember to respond:

    Mrs Rabbit @ 10, your little prayer for gun nuts to find peace and prosperity on another planet must have been for your sweet husband Mr. Roger Rabbit, since he has been known to say Liberals must arm themselves.

    The Dumbfuck Rabbit family is a disgusting combination of stupidity, financial insolvency, hypocrisy, and hate for conservatives. I’m including Mrs. Dumbfuck Rabbit for permitting her husband to continue to embarrass their family AND for having been so overtly disingenuous in what she wrote, above.

    Why the fuck, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, would I want to visit a website that concentrates your vitriol even more densely, and without a moderator’s oversight to keep you somewhat in check? Your only reader is a guy permanently banned from HA for using excessive inappropriate vitriol.

    Interesting news item out of Oak Harbor. I’ve never seen it, but a park has a water splash feature. The water bill for it is $100k per year, and the water isn’t reused for anything – just goes down the drain and ultimately into the sewage system.

    The park is at water’s edge. Some reason the kids can’t wade in when it’s hot out instead of wasting precious water like this?

    Given that it’ll cost an arm and a leg to redesign an already built system to save the water, the push-button activation is probably the best solution.

    To give TFG the unlawful win he demanded at least in the future, “conservative” Republican white males in the state legislature went to work. In all future elections the “validity” of ballots in Georgia will be decided by a single person appointed by those same “conservative” Republican white males. That same individual appointed by the “conservative” Republican white males in the state legislature is also empowered to remove any locally elected county election official that fails to give Trump/GOP the wins they demand, and replace them with anyone of their choosing.

    So why then is Dave Wasserman completely full of shit when he derides the election advocacy of “partisan hacks” like Marc Elias?

    Because in court, and in the law, that is how our system works. Trials are adversarial. Opposing sides argue vigorously within the framework of the laws and The Constitution for the rights or interests of their clients – not the interests of the other side. The lawyers who unsuccessfully defended Kim Potter completely believe in her innocence of the charges, even if the jury and most everyone else does not. When you are on trial for your life or freedom, or seeking to establish or protect your civil rights, you want an aggressive, partisan advocate, not a disinterested, detached, neutral. Leave that to the judges.

  128. 128

    @ 127

    There should be no issue, then, when the GOP sends its partisan hacks in, to verify election accuracy.

    Unfortunately, when access to election materials is denied because the access is subpoenaed by “partisans”, questions about election validity are raised.

    I happen to believe that Biden won AZ and PA. I happen also to believe that authorized people – elected representatives of the people in the cases of AZ and PA – with an interest in making those states prove it should be accommodated. When data is destroyed it raises questions.

    AZ, NV, WI were whisker-close. Let’s prove that close only counts in hand grenades, and let’s ensure that whatever inconsistencies there might be end up being addressed before the next time.

    I have no problem with Elias. I’d like him to fight, and then lose. I think it’s necessary.

    It’s kinda stupid that pro athletes become role models for kids solely by virtue of being pro athletes, but it is what it is.

    Presidential Proclamation — National Charter Schools Week, 2016
    NATIONAL CHARTER SCHOOLS WEEK, 2016

    – – – – – – –

    BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
    A PROCLAMATION

    Our Nation has always been guided by the belief that all young people should be free to dream as big and boldly as they want, and that with hard work and determination, they can turn their dreams into realities. Schools help us uphold this ideal by offering a place for children to grow, learn, and thrive. During National Charter Schools Week, we celebrate the role of high-quality public charter schools in helping to ensure students are prepared and able to seize their piece of the American dream, and we honor the dedicated professionals across America who make this calling their life’s work by serving in charter schools.

    Charter schools play an important role in our country’s education system. Supporting some of our Nation’s underserved communities, they can ignite imagination and nourish the minds of America’s young people while finding new ways of educating them and equipping them with the knowledge they need to succeed. With the flexibility to develop new methods for educating our youth, and to develop remedies that could help underperforming schools, these innovative and autonomous public schools often offer lessons that can be applied in other institutions of learning across our country, including in traditional public schools. We also must ensure our charter schools, like all our schools, are of high quality and are held accountable — when a charter school does not meet high standards, we need to act in the best interest of its students to help it improve, and if that does not prove possible, to close its doors.

    Charter schools have been at the forefront of innovation and have found different ways of engaging students in their high school years — including by providing personalized instruction, leveraging technology, and giving students greater access to rigorous coursework and college-level courses. Over the past 7 years, my Administration’s commitment of resources to the growth of charter schools has enabled a significant expansion of educational opportunity, enabling tens of thousands of children to attend high-quality public charter schools. I am committed to ensuring all of our Nation’s students have the tools and skills they need to get ahead, and that begins with ensuring they are able to attend an effective school and obtain an excellent education.

    Educating every American student and ensuring they graduate from high school prepared for college and beyond is a national priority. This week, we honor the educators working in public charter schools across our Nation who, each day, give of themselves to provide children a fair shot at the American dream, and we recommit to the basic promise that all our daughters and sons — regardless of background or circumstance — should be able to make of their lives what they will.

    NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 1 through May 7, 2016, as National Charter Schools Week. I commend our Nation’s charter schools, teachers, and administrators, and I call on States and communities to support high-quality public schools, including charter schools, and the students they serve.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fortieth.

    BARACK OBAMA

  137. 137

    @136. Where the greedy racist incel pulls some random “but the black guy did something” whataboutism in a non sequitur attempt to deflect that his god emperor has flip flopped and is suddenly a vaxxer. The base feels betrayed.

  139. 139

    yawn @ 136.. History won’t be kind to Obama..

    Just ask Matt Stoller.

    He was somewhat preferable to the alternatives.. Especially the used car salesman that was the man who “understood [vulture] capitalism”..

    you’re boring me again dimfuk.. you call him “smart” when he veers repuke lite..

  140. 140

    Greedy racist incel, was trump lying about vaxxing then, or lying about vaxxing now?
    What should his base feel about being lied to?
    How do YOU feel about being lied to?

    his god emperor has flip flopped

    teh greedee racist incel’s “god emperor” is munee.. period. end. stop…

    if drumpf threatens its “god emperor” then it demurs and murmers gentle admonitions – cuz it has an “R” next to its name.

    and dems always threaten its “god emperor”. So no holds barred on that. Can’t wait for the day that Manchin gets to follow through on its “the rich should pay its fair share” rhetoric.

    Heh. Long shot but it’d be fun to see teh greedee racist incel totally lose it. Again..

    History won’t be kind to Obama..

    1. ACA
    2. Two confirmed liberal SCOTUS justices
    3. Massive stock market advances, if one assigns all of the 2009 stock market recovery and the November 9, 2016 surge to Obama’s presidency. Which y’all HA libbies have done, repeatedly.
    4. No new major military conflicts

    Maybe it is because he is “Republican Lite”. Or maybe it’s because Democrats have moved so far-left that he looks that way to them now. He doesn’t look that way to me, but YMMV.

    Democrat ranks were decimated while Obama was in office, but TWO-TERM PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!! was transformational. Try as you might, YLB, you won’t be able to undo First Black President from his legacy.

    I wasn’t a fan then, and I’m not a fan now, but there’s no use attempting to deny what he did. And what he did was get young people interested in politics. At least for awhile. Biden/Harris will undo much of that.

    YLB, you wailed, “Why are you here?” shortly after your 2014 midterm shellacking.

    YLB, you have advocated for the banning of commenters you don’t like.

    I’ve been here, consistently, for twelve or so years now.

    YLB, Darryl came to your rescue, not mine. I haven’t needed the assistance.

    I’ve been here through the election of two Democrat presidents. I’ve been critical, but I’ve never had to stoop to knitting a pink pussy hat to make myself feel better about the wrong guy in office.

    So far, each of those Democrat presidents has made me wealthier. While enriching my family and me each of those Democrat presidents has made your childrens’ roads longer and more difficult.

    I have no reason to “lose it”. I’m on the good side of the growing wealth gap. Democrat policies have disproportionately aided me, which angers you to no end. Your anger – and despair – over the results you have voted to support are the Xmas gifts that keep on giving, YLB.

    Happy Holidays, girlfriend.

    YLB, you wailed, “Why are you here?” shortly after your 2014 midterm shellacking.

    Simple question and you answered “to pwn teh libs”.. Your version of it anyway.. Were you ahead of the curve? Congrats..
    zzzzZZZZzzzZZZzZZZzz..

    YLB, you have advocated for the banning of commenters you don’t like.

    Like trolls who spewed rape fantasies about David Goldstein’s daughter? (Been more than one dumbshit). Why would yours truly assault freedumb of speech like that? Oh yours truly would never do such a thing. Heh.

    I’ve been here, consistently, for twelve or so years now.

    the hobgoblin of small minds, yes.

    YLB, Darryl came to your rescue, not mine. I haven’t needed the assistance.

    LOL! You like to babble that one. Darryl and I haven’t had private conversations since 2006 or so and on-line exchanges a handful of times since then.. None of them involved your sorry miserable ass.. Ask him yourself. Whatever he’s done, he did on his own.

    But keep fuckin’ that chicken.

    I’ve been here through the electio
    n of two Democrat presidents. I’ve been critical, but I’ve never had to stoop to knitting a pink pussy hat to make myself feel better about the wrong guy in office.

    And yet you(?) and definitely your fellow repukes voted for a pussy grabber.. Actually I believe you when you say you never voted or cared for drumpf.. A shithheaded loose cannon like that is too much of a threat to your “god emperor” – your fookin’ munee.

    So far, each of those Democrat presidents has made me wealthier. While enriching my family and me

    This is f’in funee..

    https://www.fool.com/slideshow/10-presidents-best-stock-market-record/

    “The One” you starting fellating before or after the hollyweird versions of “the miracle on ice” is only at number 4..

    And look at number three..

    And look at number one. It rankles don’t it?

    each of those Democrat presidents has made your childrens’ roads longer and more difficult.

    Kids are doing just fine O vacuous one.. And you just shot yourself in the foot on the last bullet point. All they gotta do is do what you did and take advantage when Dems are running the show and they’ll get wealthier.. When the youngest achieves his career objectives, can’t wait to rub it in your face.. Well, unless that “certain day” comes first, the day, according to your “hi iq” blather is

    GOOD for my kids..

    AMIRITE?

    I have no reason to “lose it”. I’m on the good side of the growing wealth gap.

    Until that certain day.. Have at it! More bourbon and steak..

    Democrat policies have disproportionately aided me,

    And yours truly and my family.. I do great for a guy who lives in a tent in various Seattle greenbelts and spews on HA from the library and from my obamaphone when the library is closed. The food banks here are great too. We have no worries dimfuk.

    which angers you to no end. Your anger – and despair – over the results you have voted to support are the Xmas gifts that keep on giving, YLB.

    I’m a happy camper dimfuk. Always have been. Life’s been berry, berry good to me. Heh.. I look forward to your next celebration of the next Dem president who will fatten your bankroll.

    Happy Holidays, O vacuous one.

    @ 139

    History won’t be kind to Obama..

    1. ACA

    Heh.. oh yeah, “the gubmint takeover of health care”.. that old always wrong chestnut got 3 or 4 Pinocchios from the WAPO. He copied what the “man who understands [vulture]capitalism” did in MA. Simple. A great achievment. It was too funee to see all the always wrong heads explode over his “Waterloo”.

    2. Two confirmed liberal SCOTUS justices

    And a third coulda been a conservative of sorts.. Shit even Moscow Mitch threw the lever for him for AG. Not “conservative” enough for teh SCOTUS.

    3. Massive stock market advances, if one assigns all of the 2009 stock market recovery and the November 9, 2016 surge to Obama’s presidency. Which y’all HA libbies have done, repeatedly.

    The Motley Fool put the black guy ahead of “The One” you fellated.. O my wadda a dirty hippy that Fool.

    4. No new major military conflicts

    He killed Osama, yes.. Dumbya couldn’t be bothered to “think about him [Osama] that much.” Too preoccupied with its pissing match with Papa Bush. Obama set JSOC loose all over the world. Too librul for words.

    Maybe it is because he is “Republican Lite”.

    A credit to his party! History will take note.

    Or maybe it’s because Democrats have moved so far-left that he looks that way to them now. He doesn’t look that way to me, but YMMV.

    It’s either “The One” or nothing for you! Liberation of Grenada anyone?

    Democrat ranks were decimated while Obama was in office, but TWO-TERM PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!! was transformational.

    For repukes. As you’ve pointed out repeatedly. Thanks for making my point!

    Try as you might, YLB, you won’t be able to undo First Black President from his legacy.

    Nope. The first African American Prez was definitely a Dem.. Of sorts. You got me there dimfuk. I think teh babblin butthole had a sad though. Shit. Think what Murca could be if Allan Keyes came out on top.

    I wasn’t a fan then, and I’m not a fan now, but there’s no use attempting to deny what he did.

    What’s there not to like dimfuk? Are you conflicted about being on the “right side of the wealth gap”.. Motley Fool says Obama edged out “The One”. Say its not so.

    Otoh you also said Obama engaged in drug-fueled sex with Larry Sinclair and knocked Michelle around. Didya get to the “revelation” that his mom was a pornstar and his dad was her pimp and a commie?

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2210012/Film-claiming-Obamas-mother-posed-pornographic-pictures-sent-million-swing-voters.html

    Did all that put you off?

    And what he did was get young people interested in politics.

    Yeah right. Like scrawny pimp James O’Keefe and especially Hannah Giles. Didya hit up Jimmy for a “date” with Hannah?

    Look at how they all showed up for Obama in his TWO midterms.

    At least for awhile. Biden/Harris will undo much of that.

    We all know you’re counting on folks behaving against their best interests.. On and on until “that certain day”.

    the day..

    what will be so GOOD

    for my kids
