Good morning to everyone except for Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison who can eat a doo doo pie. The incredibly low bar for sweeping homeless people isn’t low enough for her. It’s incredibly frustrating, and in the meantime, things aren’t improving. So cruel.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. 1
Congratulations to Seattle, which has already seen more murders this year than in all of 2022!

That’s less than Seattle, afaik.
As a matter of law Donald J Trump is guilty of fraud and rape.
The process of dismantling his businesses will be appealed of course but, good luck with that.
You can go read the whole thing which is literally a judge telling Donald’s defense team that they are morons citing irrelevant case law and occasionally misrepresenting the findings of prior case law and filled with the phrases, ‘ridiculous’, ‘does not hold water’ ‘patently false’ etc.
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23991876-trump-ny-fraud-ruling
Some of the Judge’s order against Trump NYC business will have to get in motion quickly unless an emergency stay is granted during appeal.
This is the big one:
The judge cancelled the business licenses for Trump related business located in or operating in the State of New York. Further the judge gave the Trump organization 10 days to submit a list of three independent receivers to take up the liquidation of assets and the closure of the businesses that are no longer legally allowed to do business in the state.
This is a worst case scenario ruling for Donald and his boys.
Trump Tower…gone.
‘I now have the tallest building now that the Towers fell’ 40 Wall Street…gone
Trump INTL Tower and Hotel…gone
Trump Palace and its sister on the West Side Place…gone
Trump Plaza…gone

The order also specifically mentions the over/under valuation of Mar A Lago. Not likely DeSantis would try to ‘Disney’ the place but if he wanted to make one last ditch effort to secure the nomination making the front runner homeless is a moon shot might be worth having a look at.

About that CNN.com piece I mentioned @ 30.
The subpoenas were issued on Monday and the announcement of the wire transfers listing Joe Biden’s Delaware home address was made last night. So someone on the receiving end of those subpoenas is treating them seriously.
Either that, or the GOP committee members already had the transfers, and just needed the subpoenas as cover. If so, what else do the GOP committee members already have as documentation, and how long do you think they’ll wait before dropping them?
After all, don’t want the Democrats calling this “old news” when the general election really is getting into high gear.
@23
We’re not any more concerned with Nikki Haley’s appeal than Vivek Ramaswammy. The amount of time thought about Nikki Haley getting the nomination is….zero.

You mean, gasp, the shocking news that during the period that Hunter Biden is KNOWN to have been living at an address the address was listed as his place of residence?
That’s it. YOU GOT HIM! He was living there.
Assets that were not hidden in financial fraud schemes had his actual place of residence attached to the parts about “Home Address”.
Man, Hunter should have bought a tower, a hotel, a golf resort, two condo and office developments, another tower and a WTC area office complex to hide assets in.
@4 “Not likely DeSantis would try to ‘Disney’ the place but if he wanted to make one last ditch effort to secure the nomination making the front runner homeless is a moon shot might be worth having a look at.”

@7 Savers aren’t subsidizing homebuyers anymore. How sad — for homebuyers. But it so happens the current mortgage rate, 7.41%, is exactly equal to the median mortgage rate over the last 52 years, which is 7.41%. Source:
https://money.usnews.com/loans/mortgages/articles/historical-mortgage-rates
So, clearly, mortgage rates aren’t the problem. Home prices are, which are attributable to a nationwide housing shortage, which is attributable to suspension of homebuilding during the 2007-2008 financial crisis, which was caused by financial deregulation during a Republican administration.
Looking at history, the previous big financial crisis — the S&L frauds of the 1980s — also was caused by financial deregulation during a Republican administration.
See a pattern here? I do. Voting for Republicans and their laissez-faire economic policies makes housing scarce and unaffordable.
“Unbought and Unbossed” was Shirley Chisholm’s slogan in 1972.
“Bought and Bossed” was the DNC’s subservient position under #CrookedHillary in 2016.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/team-trump-prepares-for-doom-at-new-york-bank-fraud-trial
In the now-famous partial summary judgement handed down yesterday the judge ruled that NY AG Tish James had entirely proven the first of the seven counts against Trump, his two adult sons, his company CFO and his company financial controller. The judge has ordered the revocation of all the Trump Organization business certificates granting them authority to do business in NY.
Trump’s lawyers all seemed to be abandoning all hope and went begging to the judge this morning to drop the other six charges. Judge said no, fuck that. But wouldn’t decide right away.
But the judge made clear an independent person will play a role in determining the fate of this multibillion dollar network of companies, giving both investigators and the Trump family extra time to jointly find an outside official who can oversee this while they’re wrested from the family’s control.
Heard all the way from West Palm Beach:

If you’re a fox viewer or visitor of Fox websites you have no idea that Donald J. Trump was found liable for massive bank fraud, wire fraud and tax fraud and being forced to sell all of his New York holdings.

Just a part of the problem. Second or third home buying by the elite is a factor. Venture Capital buying properties at inflated prices to take advantage of a rental/short term vacation rental source of revenue is a problem. Entire urban areas zoned exclusively single family dwellings is a problem. Pure speculative investing in housing is a problem. The super elite buying three Manhattan apartments to convert to one mega apartment is a problem.
@49 what? No mention of the corruption of Clarence Thomas?
@50 “Just a part of the problem. …”
These things have always been around, along with redlining until fairly recently. And unaffordable housing has existed in select areas, such as San Francisco because of a booming tech economy with high wages for a fortunate few.
But the housing crash caused by abuses in mortgage lending was a unique event and led to a nationwide housing shortage that hadn’t been seen in this country since the WW2 soldiers came home and started millions of new families, and that shortage was for an entirely different reason.
If I can expand on my comment @50, Doctor Dumbfuck isn’t good with details, such as why Hunter might use his parents’ address.
I heard through the grapevine they yanked him out of the ER radiology lab the fourth time he identified a bullet in a gunshot victim as coins in the patient’s pocket.
Like I said, not good at interpreting details.
49,
You are describing the one true divide “polarizing” American life.
The bloated, mewling hoard of celebrity fascinated, racist dip shits desperately fleeing imaginary dangers riding “mobility scooters” toward the grave while waiving Gadsden flags.
And everybody else.
“House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Wednesday fired back at Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) for her ‘hostile response’ to his request to turn over documents related to her prosecution of former President Trump.”
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4226156-jim-jordan-fires-back-at-fani-williss-hostile-response-to-house-probe/
What was hostile about it? She merely said he was improperly interfering with a criminal investigation, when the more appropriate response would’ve been “fuck off.”
So what exactly do Judge Engoron’s orders following yesterday’s summary judgement actually mean?
Well, for starters, the named individuals all still own whatever the fuck they owned before the orders. The orders do not strip anyone of their legal rights to their property.
But cancellation of corporate certificates issued by the state of New York means that the named holders/officers on those certificates lose specific legal rights in the state of New York with respect to the assets of the corporations named on those certificates. As a corporation, and as officers of the corporation named on the certificates they no longer have any legal authority to borrow in the name of the coroporation, to apply for any government (state or federal) program or benefit in the name of the corporation, of file any document, or statement in the name of the corporation.
The effect is as if they are deemed incompetent (non compos mentis). They still own whatever the fuck the own according to whatever financial statements there are, but they are stripped of the authority to exercise any decision making over whatever they own. They have ten days (well, nine and a half now) to propose no more than three names to the court for a receiver who will take over exercising day-to-day management and control over the corporations and the assets.
It’s often described as a corporate death penalty because it tends to have that effect. Once the direct beneficiaries of the corporation may no longer exercise any decision making or even offer input into the disposition of the corporation’s assets and liabilities the corporation ceases to have a purpose.
It is my understanding that Donald J. Trump Sr. is the sole beneficiary of the named corporations. So the receiver would continue to pay salaries, collect rents, fees, and dues, pay taxes, etc. while preparing and executing the sale of the corporate held assets. After which Donald J. Trump Sr. would receive all the the net proceeds of the sales. (now watch how fast Junior’s coke addict girlfriend dumps him) Trump Sr. gets the $$ but plays no role in the dissolution of the corporations or the selling off of the assets and settling of the debts.
He would be within his rights to try to buy back any of the liquidated assets at any time in the process. But he would be entirely unable to use any of the corporate held assets being liquidated as security in order to obtain financing for such purchases.
His lawyers will appeal all of this and delay it as long as possible. I think it’s unlikely that the judgement of fraud would be overturned. Appeals of such judgements offer practically no opportunity to present new facts into the decision. Trump’s lawyers made their best case. And it was shit. So the appeals would have to center on arguments that the judge misinterpreted the law and that the remedies are incorrect. That’s a steep uphill climb once you’ve already conceded to the underlying corporate financial fraud.
More followup on @45: CNN adds to what CBS reported that when Hunter was using his parents’ address on his drivers license “the home was the site of a family intervention over his drug addiction.”

Democrats cleverly let it pass on a voice vote, so any Republicans who think this is nuts (and racist) would have no opportunity to be recorded as voting against it. Now they can paint all Republicans as toddler clowns who dance to MTG’s tune.

@ 79
It was outside the scope of the 2020 warrant based on what was known in 2020. That was three years ago.
We know far more now. Like, money from China was being wired to the home of Joe Biden. A current warrant issued by a judge upon request from a prosecutor who wasn’t in the tank for The Biden Crime Family would likely cover much more of Joe Biden’s personal areas – household, garage, the Penn center, etc.
Just think how much more we will know in, say, 12 months.
@83 It’s nice that we agree on something; thanks for this post.
@84 “We know far more now. Like, money from China was being wired to Hunter Biden at the home of Joe Biden.” And Weiss isn’t going to ask a judge, and a judge isn’t going to issue, a warrant against Joe Biden to go fishing through his personal residence and effects because House Republicans don’t have any more probable cause against him today than they ever did. Wait and see.
Money is never “wired to a home”.
That is literally impossible. Obviously so to anyone who has ever had any money anywhere other than sewn into a mattress. About the closest you might get would be to have funds wired to a WU agency in a local mercado.

PS – the yunguns tell me about sending money to a smartphone. But the Crybaby must be so incredibly rich he has “people” who do that shit for him. He needs to keep his hands free.

1)Just got back from the Wasteland of Downtown after a day at MOHAI for Metro’s 50th, Was great to see a Vintage Bus at the event, guess they got the insurance issues cleared up. MEHVA says excursions should resume next year. They chose the 1976 AM General bus, Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle 1122, only one that cleared inspection as the vintage fleet has been laid up for 3 years, and the suspension was just before the Pandemic. I roadie a bus like 1122 to school when I was attending Blaine Elementary.
@82
You really know how to put the ‘new’ in news.
your own link has the date 2022 in it. Yes a year and a half ago is totally relevant to an election more than a year in the future.
Fucking Amateur. Puddy was smarter than you. So you might be the dumbest person ever to post here.
To replace the Idiot from Northern Ontario who had to resign as Canadian House Speaker, a vote will be held Tuesday. In the interim, the longest serving MP will fill in, a member of the Bloc Québécois. Tge Tories are making a big deal, but20 years ago, the Bloc was the Official Opposition.

Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) convened a press conference Wednesday afternoon to present reporters with — ta-da — evidence of “corruption and misconduct” by President Biden.
He highlighted a June 2017 email sent by Hunter to a business associate. “The very existence of this file makes it abundantly clear that IRS investigators were concerned there was, in fact, a connection between Hunter Biden’s global influence peddling, Joe Biden and official U.S. government activity,” he said. A reporter asked what influence Smith was referring to, as Biden was neither in office nor a candidate in June 2017.
Er, um, “Well, I think the facts speak for themselves. There’s over 700 pages of examples of where people should be very concerned,” Smith stammered. Trying for a comeback, he asserted Biden “was a candidate” then; which, of course, is a lie. Biden entered the race in April 2019.
“Smith also pointed to an August 2020 email from U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf allegedly directing investigators to remove all mentions of Biden … from a search warrant for an investigation involving his son. Wolf had been part of U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ team investigating Hunter Biden,” NBC News says. The reporter pointed out Trump was president and Bill Barr was attorney general in August 2020. Er, um, “It doesn’t matter who’s in the White House,” Smith replied, adding “I’m not an expert on the timeline. I would love to have President Biden and his family to tell us about all the timelines.” I’m sure they will. So will the press.
Who is this cornball? A farmer and small-town lawyer who, I’m guessing, routinely gets slaughtered in courtrooms.
Um, er, well this file is 700 pages thick and that proves Joe Biden committed impeachable offenses. Which reminds me of what my law professors said: The weightiness of an argument is not determined by how much it weighs on a scale.

I didn’t watch, but NBC News says, “No one dominated the stage or owned a singular moment at the second Republican presidential debate Wednesday,” which is what you expect from a gaggle of lightweights.
Highlight of the evening: “Please don’t attack me, please don’t attack me!” or words to that effect, Ramaswamy begged.
Probably the best moment was when Chris Christie accused Biden of “sleeping with a member of the teachers union.” To read the backstory on that, click on the link below.

The highlight of Trump’s rally at a Michigan (non-union) auto parts plant is … (drum roll) …
“One individual in the crowd who held a sign that said ‘union members for Trump,’ acknowledged that she wasn’t a union member when approached by a Detroit News reporter after the event. Another person with a sign that read ‘auto workers for Trump’ said he wasn’t an auto worker when asked for an interview. Both people didn’t provide their names.”

I’d guess they’re either part of Trump’s traveling retinue, or local Trump campaign volunteers. Coming soon: A 10-year-old kid waving a “Veterans for Trump” sign.
Why are so many more Republicans than Democrats crooks, thieves, and embezzlers?
https://www.rawstory.com/omar-navarro/
To me, the answer seems simple: Republicans care about money, while Democrats care about people.

Well, despite the age of those data it’s comforting to know that black Americans still very much realize that their president is a POS.
Trump is explicitly shilling for scabs. Vote accordingly.
Due to the amazing new technologies like Venmo and CashApp I’ve had money wired to me on Harlan’s jet, at the meeting I had in Ginny’s office with the Kochs AND while putting a pube in a glass of CocaCola.
Because that’s totally how wire transfers work.
I’m going to outsmart the judge by “wiring” all the money from NY to my house in Florida.
It goes by “wires”. It’s amazing.
Republicans have hit upon a genius way to raise wages even more by removing a couple million workers from the workforce.

@96 “black Americans still very much realize that their president is a POS”
Like they did in 2020 and 2022, eh? That’s old data, amirite?
But we’re not stupid like he thinks.
Does he know the UAW builds electric cars and we’re working on Unionizing Tesla?
Stellantis has a battery and car plant in Indiana
Hyundai is building batteries in Georgia
Toyota in North Carolina
GMs factory zero is right here in Detroit
Ford is building electric trucks in Dearborn
Volvo in South Carolina is switching to all electric production
Every Rivian is rolling off a plant in Illinois
Even the Gigafactory is in Nevada and we’re organizing there.
So what the fuck is this imbecile talking about. We build cars. We don’t give a fuck if they run on gas or batteries. We build them.
Oh..also they were lying about everything again. Like he was filling out a loan application.
102,
Racist POS who makes ghastly racist jokes about a dead Tamir Rice and also fabricates spreads lies about a dead Philando Castile is our local expert on “what Black Americans realize”.
not so much
This is probably my most favorite of all modern conservative conceits. Bigotted, fearful white guys planted before televisions in the distant suburbs sharing their expertise about the non-white experience in America. Their closest “black” friend is TC from old reruns of Magnum PI.
104,
I love what this says about the average Trump supporter, like our trolls.
The people organizing these kinds of events for Trump know perfectly well that media will attend (they make sure of it) and that the media will inquire with the crowd and discover that they are all local Republican party organizers and activists essentially being paid to be there. And they know that “THE FAKE MEDIA” will report that.
But they also know, perhaps better than anyone, and certainly better than the media, that this does not matter. Not to Republican voters. They know better than anyone else just how incredibly stupid Republican voters really are. And that’s how they know they can tell them all these artfully arranged yet still obvious lies right to their faces and their voters will never see it. They are too dumb. All they see is the grievance. And all they feel is the resentment.
103,
It’s very doubtful that Donald Trump has driven a car or even sat in the front seat in the last three decades.
103)Most Likely this year or next, King County Metro will take delivery of their last Hybrid bus, with full zero-emission fleet by 2035. Wenatchee with it’s smaller fleet, has the big guys beat.
The GQP’s impeachment witness.
GOP’s own witness pours cold water on Biden impeachment: ‘I do not believe the evidence meets the standard’
Hillbilly coal state senator J.D. Vance “on Thursday introduced legislation that would eliminate federal tax credits for electric vehicles.”
https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4228180-vance-unveils-legislation-eliminating-ev-tax-credits/
Next on the agenda: Bringing back steam locomotives, coal-fired generating plants, and making catalytic converters illegal.
@106 “they are all local Republican party organizers and activists essentially being paid to be there”
I’m extremely skeptical of this assertion. I believe they do it for free.
Hey Bob,
is this the meeting you were speaking of, of The FuckHump supporting the UAW?

@106,
I told them to drink bleach.
And they did it.
comments from the impeachment.
Turley in his opening statement:
All of their expert witnesses have said there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by Joe Biden, no evidence of anything impeachable, no evidence of anything to open an impeachable inquiry. Republicans keep taking about things Hunter Biden has done and saying “Impeach his father for what he did”.
Sadly, I don’t think it matters to republican voters. Facts don’t matter to them.
@109 Wherein a Georgetown law professor confuses “evidence” with “polls indicate that most of the country shares those concerns” …
So here’s how it works: Professional propagandists gin up and disseminate a bunch of fantasies, innuendos, and outright lies to create public “concern,” and then their partisan masters exploit that “concern” to justify a fishing expedition for evidence where there is none. Well done, professor. But not really, I’m just saying that to spare your feelings.
It’s the same playbook Republicans use to contest perfectly valid elections: They claim, without basis or evidence, that our elections aren’t secure. Then they use polls and “public concern” to justify their attacks on voting rights.
You’d expect to see an Ivy League law professor to see through this shit. No doubt he does, but looks the other way, which makes him a partisan shill. Why is Georgetown paying this phony to pretend to be a legal scholar?
@114 Not quite accurate; Turley said there’s enough to open an inquiry. See #116 for his reasoning. Or I should say what he’s trying to pass off as legal reasoning.
117,
In an old Paul Newman movie it was a lazy journalist played by Sally Field ginning up “public concern” and then hiding behind Sullivan and “absence of malice” for protection.
Today it’s a deeply unpopular and politically failing Republican House majority ginning up “public concern” and then hiding behind the “speech and debate” clause for protection.
If only Wilford Brimley were available.
We’ll just have to be our own Wilford Brimley and get rid of Republicans.
In a little noticed move, The Biden/Harris administration issued new rules and guidelines for Foster Care organizations in all states.
1. Provides easier access for “kin” to become Foster Parents and receive the financial support associated with taking in a child.
2. Expands access to legal representation for children in the Foster Care System
And in the one that is sure to explode the heads of conservatives…
3. Expands protection for LGBTQIA Foster Children including vetting Foster Parents about their respect for LGBTQIA people’s basic right to exist and outlawing Foster Parents from
sending Foster Children against their will to Gay Conversion Therapy or Religious ‘Camps’ to teach them to hide the gaytorturing Foster Kids.Watch this exchange:

On August 6th of 2017 Joe Biden was retired, was not in any way pursuing a campaign for any elected office, and Jeff Sessions was President Donald Trump’s Attorney General in charge of the Department of Justice, unitl Trump fired him… for refusing to interfere with an investigation.
The GOP is gonna just come out and call her uppity.
Take it away Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-TX
Other House Republicans recall the Thursday meeting differently, though. When Gaetz nodded to conspiratorial claims by suggesting that the speaker was fundraising for House Republicans via a bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, one McCarthy ally got irritated enough to curse.
“Fuck off,” Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) remarked loudly and with an eye roll in Gaetz’s direction, according to a Republican in the room who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Garland’s decision to drop the criminal case against this Republican pedo-trafficker was one of the best things to have happened since DArK BraNdOn became the leader of the modern free world.
LET THEM FIGHT!
104,
The Detroit News fully canvassed the crowd and they could only find a single person in attendance who was willing to identify themselves as an auto worker or a union member.
Everything about the GOP is fraud.
Do you want to smell my babies undies?
110)Problem is, Baldwin, Alco, and Lima are gone. Although ALCO lasted the longest in Diesel.
One of Metro’s suppliers started building vehicles that were horse drawn. Tgey just had a habit of adopting new propulsion at the right time.

Senator Dianne Feinstein Has Died at 90
She’ll be back to work on Monday approving more competent fair judges. I wonder if she is still going to run for that seat next year. After all she was able to retire at any time. She chose not to.
