Hello. I definitely didn’t forget to write anything on the bus this morning until I was a few stops away from work. How dare you suggest such an absurd thing?
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Biden tells Bibi that the hospital explosion was due to a missile from “the other team”.
Biden refers to 1300 “slaughtered” Israelis, and lest daisies like The Even Bigger Fucking Moron and HA’s unserious twat Queen YLB misunderstand his meaning, he elaborates that his use of the word is not hyperbole.
Hey Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, how much “news” from Gazan sources are you going to spew as fact today, asshole?
Gym has begun resorting to acts of physical intimidation on the House floor, pulling apart small huddling groups of his “moderate” Republican opponents to demand they stop talking about him. He’s being met with wounded, blank states.
Representative Ocasio-Cortez is standing by to gently soothe Gym’s rattled victims.

TSLA is getting hammered on what is assumed to be a disappointing earnings call later this evening.
We’re a long way from his $400 target price.
The only outlet touting TSLA right now is The Motley Fool, the group that companies can pay to run infomercials about their value.
Welp, five GOP house members have voted for either McCarthy or Scalise so this round is over.
5,
My guess is that a diverse cross section of Republican members would still prefer to find a way to resume business without having to negotiate with Democrats.
So pretty soon they will begin pressuring Chancellor Gym to bow out and accept that he can’t bully his way into the line of succession.
I’m not sure how he responds to that. But I’m quite sure that the far right media will throw a tantrum and really start going after a bunch of vulnerable Republicans in swing districts.
Always remember that FOX doesn’t give a shit who controls Congress. And neither really does Cheeto Mussolini.
Apparently Chancellor Gym tried to offer some huge SALT deduction increases to woo converts from HCOL/higher tax states. Didn’t get any takers.
So now, having abandoned national interest in favor of partisan party interest, the GOP leadership is taking the next logical step in the Trumpian decline, and abandoning partisan party interest in favor of personal ambition and ego.
MAGAs targeting the family members. That’s like the greedy racist incel always threatening to fuck YBL’s sons. Must be in the republican handbook or something.

Rep. Bacon to @NBCNews: “Jordan is headed for defeat. He’ll fight to death likely, and we won’t let off. Their tactics angered us. They’re harassing our spouses even. Jordan hit a brick wall.”
So Gym, you fared even worse in round two than in round one.
Gained two but lost four.
If this were wrestling you’d

Gym has begun resorting to acts of physical intimidation on the House floor, pulling apart small huddling groups of his “moderate” Republican opponents to demand they stop talking about him.
Remember how Democrats treated Chelsea Clinton’s future MIL? Bill Clinton called her to change her vote, and she caved. She’s proof that overt pressure works.
@10
Got a whatabout for ousting a house speaker for daring to keep the government open and then nominating two consecutive people for the job who are unacceptable to not just the majority of Americans but to just enough of your own party to make it a pointless and embarrassing exercise?
We’ll wait.
Included in the “persuasive” tactics employed by Republican Chancellor Jordan to sway his Republican House colleagues to support him has been the publication on ultra right wing broadcast media of private phone numbers.
For round three it will be the kids school bus route.
@2 “how much ‘news’ from Gazan sources are you going to spew as fact today”
Same as yesterday: None. We still don’t know. And I mean “we,” not “I,” because no matter how much supercilious rot you spew in these comment threads, you don’t know either.
About as well as going long on TSLA at 400.
As I predicted, Jordan lost votes in round 2.
He does not understand how the chamber works. As clearly evidence by the alarming fact that in sixteen years he has never advanced a single piece of legislation and normally ranks among the bottom five of all 435 members for legislative effectiveness.
But he works out in the House gym more than any other member.
@3, 7 Things are coming into focus: There’s a cabal of House coup plotters who’ve schemed from day one to steamroll Jordan into the speaker’s chair, even before McCarthy was ousted, which is part of the coup plot. These people won’t shrug and give up when Jordan gets fewer and fewer votes; they intend to hold the entire country hostage, just as they attempted to do on Jan. 6, 2021. As part of this effort, they will block anyone else from getting the speakership. In other words, there won’t be a GOP alternative to Jordan.
Meanwhile, an Oklahoma GOPer says the quiet part out loud: Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare.

Seems to me they wanted this to happen.. just didn’t think Hamas would go so krazy.. WRONG.. Run an open air prison, impose intolerable conditions and the prisoners will riot..
What? 1500 Israelis dead? How many hostages taken? A lot more Palestinians will die because the degen asshole Bibi and its always wrong wing fellow travelers in the IDF and Mossad WANTED this to happen.. They call it “mowing the grass”…
The Israelis have been ok at investigating “why did this happen?” in the past.. That is.. if the degens there that tried to suppress the judiciary don’t succeed in suppressing the after action…
@ 11
…nominating two consecutive people for the job who are unacceptable to not just the majority of Americans …
Hakeem Jeffries has been nominated two consecutive times by Democrats. Where’s your evidence that he’s acceptable to a majority of Americans?
Jeffries has the lowest favorability of any of the US leaders, if RCP’s index is any guide:
And if you are going to point out that his spread is better than anyone else’s, then the asshole who keeps saying that Momala’s favorability is better than DeSantis’ needs to point out spread differences as well.
So, back to my question: Where’s your evidence that a majority of Americans find Hakeem Jeffries acceptable as a Speaker candidate, please?
Oh, and do show your work. You don’t want The Even Bigger Fucking Moron calling you a liar if you don’t, do you?
Ok that’s funny.

Oh for fucks sake. The minority nominee doesn’t win. It’s like you revel in your stupidity.
You know who will get and has received 100% of his party’s votes for speaker? Hakeem Jeffries.
A functioning party has a nominating election within the caucus then rallies behind the winner of that process See a divided Democratic party taking one vote and Pelosi receiving 220 in 2019
@19 His spread is better than anyone else’s.
For the same reason he has “the lowest favorability”: Over a third of respondents don’t have an opinion, probably because they don’t know who he is.
You have to remember this is a country where a lot of people can’t find Europe on a map. Don’t know who was president on 9/11. Believe in UFOs and bleach cures, but don’t trust doctors or modern medicine.
We’re becoming a nation of idiots, which is reflected in polls like the one you cited. But you’re blind to that fact, because you’re an idiot yourself.
@20 Brightly colored butterfly crashes and burns. This video could be a metaphor for the entire GOP.

That’s all a dumbfuck can do.
By the way, it is a fact that Momalla still leads DeSantis in RCP Favorability Ratings, but I probably shouldn’t point this anymore seeing as how it triggers the dumbfuck to post really stupid dumbfuck comments.
Anybody else notice how angry the dumbfuck coward has been of late? He must not have been ready for The Pain.
It’s time to FINISH HIM!
Will Chancellor Gym, if speaker at election time, certify any vote count that does not have trump win?
I see that TSLA is down 4.73% so far today.
The dumbfuck coward can’t win for losing.
@26 He doesn’t seem to have grown intellectually very much over the course of time.
@27 That’s probably what this speaker coup attempt is really about. They don’t trust McCarthy to overthrow Biden’s re-election. As I said above, they’re not going to give up on Jordan. Putting him in the speaker’s chair is essential to completing their unfinished 2020 business in 2024.
There are at least 3 videos circulating of the Islamic Jihad rocket that hit the Gaza hospital, 2 of which were posted by the Israeli government. One of these is a failed Russian SAM launch nowhere near Palestine. Another was recorded in 2022; the Israelis deleted that video from their X (Twitter) posted after it was debunked.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gaza-hospital-misinformation-israel-hamas_n_65301c34e4b00565b62290cc
The Israelis have contributed to the “fog of war” surrounding the hospital incident in other ways, too, according to Al Jazeera.

House GOPers should elect Rep. McHenry as speaker. But they won’t, of course. Jordan wants another vote tomorrow. If he falls short again, he’ll want yet another vote. And another, ad infinitum. Because the plot to overthrow the 2024 election (see #15 above) won’t work without him in the speaker’s chair. So there will be many, many more attempts to put Jordan in the speaker’s chair, as many as it takes, no matter how long our government remains paralyzed.

• A hospital wasn’t bombed.
• 900 people weren’t killed.
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, what was reported by your sources about this incident that was correct?
Anything? Anything at all?
@64 “your source does not say there is no crater”
Maybe that’ll help you understand why I didn’t say there’s no crater, and only said there’s no crater in the photo.
Can you help me understand how the hexagonal pavers became rectangular pavers, or vice versa?
Know it all @65 spewed: “what was reported by your sources about this incident that was correct?”
Me: I can’t answer that question, because I don’t know who did it, what the intended target was, or how many people were killed.
You can pretend all you like that you know, but you don’t know, either.

DeSantis paid a private group $4 million of state taxpayer money to fly 270 Americans out of Israel. That’s about $14,800 per person, versus about $1,000 for a commercial flight in normal times, but that also includes hotel rooms, rental cars, and other unspecified services.

And she is getting a very sweet, no-time deal. It would be possible for defense attorneys to discredit her testimony based on all that.
However, she was acting as one of Trump’s lawyers, representing him in his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results. And she met with and conferred with her client regularly throughout the relevant period. She will have first hand knowledge. And I must assume to obtain a no-tine deal she has demonstrated to prosecutors that her testimony will be very valuable.

Republicans will still need 217 to move forward with this plan. And Democrats have agreed in principle to this option.
But there has been no word yet to suggest that Republicans can do this on their own.

Nothing excites our degen troll more than for-profit schools.. Well babbling “cunt” and “twat” non-stop perhaps but I digress.. To wit:
It had been just over 10 years since the Harvard graduates had launched Bridge International Academies, a chain of for-profit schools that had exploded in Africa and South Asia. With the backing of Silicon Valley’s elite and the support of international financial institutions like the World Bank, the founders were now in negotiations to raise fresh capital that would allow them to move into several new countries.
In 2016, there had been a dozen or more cases of serial sexual assault at a Bridge school in Kenya. Several years later, at another Bridge location, a child on school grounds had been fatally electrocuted by a dangling live wire, while another had been badly injured. May and Kimmelman were already aware of the tragedies. Indeed, the company had internally documented many more cases of sexual abuse, but they had not been reported to the World Bank and stayed out of the local press. Now, a World Bank investigation threatened to bring them to light…

@98 Putting Gym Jordan in the speaker’s chair is vital to their plan to block certification of Biden’s re-election. Given that his election to this post is central to their revolutionary plans, they will not give up easily or quickly.

They will shut down the government for weeks or months, and even leave Israel dangling, if necessary to achieve this hugely important objective.

@105. I expect the Never Gym caucus will be blackmailed so trump can be installed.
This piece of shit lied about being a law student, then called the university “un-Christian” for saying he’s not enrolled in the law school.
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Signing up for a continuing legal education class doesn’t make you a “law student.” A “law student” is generally understood to be someone who’s been accepted by a law school into its J.D. program, which involves full-time study lasting three years. The acceptance rate at the University of Minnesota Law School is roughly one-third of qualified applicants based on their undergraduate grades, LSAT score, and letters of recommendation as of 2021. To sign up for a single class offered to the general public that does not qualify you to take a bar exam or practice law, and then call yourself a “law student,” is a wild exaggeration, putting it most charitably.

Biden/Harris 2024…
@116 Biden just gave a great re-election speech. It was about what kind of country America is with him in the White House. Compare and contrast with the Putin-loving, Muslim-hating, twice impeached and four-times-indicted orange moron.
My October Bar News arrived in today’s mail; and perusing the lawyer discipline notices, I see the lawyer representing the Culp for Governor Campaign who sued to overturn the 2020 election in which Jay Inslee defeated Loren Culp by over half a million votes has been suspended from practicing law for a year. The hearing officer’s decision, adopted by the state supreme court, says in part,
“19. Respondent’s allegations that voting systems had not been properly maintained and were not secure had no basis in fact or law that was not frivolous. …
“21. Respondent’s allegations that ballots were received and/or cast by deceased, out-of-state, or otherwise ineligible voters had no basis in fact or law that was not frivolous.
“22. The factual allegations in Respondent’s complaints were false, speculative, and/or incomplete. …
“32. Respondent’s request for a recount in the original complaint had no basis in law or law that was not frivolous.”
The decision also cited failure to comply with various statutes and procedures governing election challenges.

Of course they are. The insurrectionists need Jordan in there to block certification of the 2024 election if Biden wins. They won’t give up after only 3, 4, or 5 votes. They’ll shut down the government and throw Ukraine and Israel to the wolves before they’ll throw in the towel on their next coup attempt.

Nevermind the pretrial release conditions.
Remember the “Trump train” that harassed and terrorized a Biden campaign bus in San Marcos, Texas, in 2020? And the local cops who ignored the bus occupants’ calls for help? And by the way, the city destroyed evidence. Well, the city settled yesterday for $175,000.
https://www.kxan.com/news/local/san-marcos/san-marcos-settles-lawsuit-over-law-enforcement-response-to-2020-trump-train-incident/
Two of the eight Trump supporters sued by the bus occupants under the Ku Klux Klan Act previously settled on undisclosed terms.

Steve Ceh, who was involved in the “Trump train” incident if not the organizer, and a defendant in an ongoing lawsuit arising from that incident, apparently is a cult leader, and — predictably — was present at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot.
North Korea apparently concluded this guy didn’t have much hostage value. I can see why.

127,
Wow! That is one incredibly generous plea deal:
Harding was facing up to 35 years in prison, according to the U.S. Dept. of Justice, but after a plea deal he will serve four months.
Four months versus 35 years for a “well connected” criminal.
I’ll bet the stupid, emasculated Trump-loving troll will have something to say about that. Yup. Republicans are sure to have “questions” about that arrangement. And I’m sure Chuck Grassley wants to get right to the bottom of it. Yup.

Musk considers removing X platform from Europe over EU law
https://www.reuters.com/technology/musk-considers-removing-x-platform-europe-over-eu-law-insider-2023-10-18/
The European Union in August adopted the Digital Services Act (DSA), which sets forth rules for preventing the spread of harmful content, banning or limiting certain user-targeting practices, and sharing some internal data with regulators and associated researchers, among other things.
>> Cut off millions of users from the platform because he doesn’t want to comply with misinformation laws? I question his ability as a CEO.
>> Won’t comply with the EU, but will comply with the demands of China and Turkey.
Alex Jones just lost his fight to discharge any portion of the one billion dollars he owes to the victims and families of the Sandy Hook Shooting.
What this means is that no matter what he does, and no matter what becomes of his broken up media companies and subsidiaries, he will have to pay that money. Even in death he won’t avoid the debt.
And it also means that every penny from every single purchase of any of his wide range of snake oil cures and magic beans investments will be going to Sandy Hook Families.
Finally something good from dick pills.
@131
Let’s just stop humoring that dumbass and call it twitter. You have to go to twitter.com to use it. It’s twitter.
The first one to turn gets the deal. The rest of you likely get prison.
This is the very obvious tell.
Musk did not pour $44 billion into Twitter to champion “free speech”.
It is a long term investment into authoritarianism and the substantial value that AI deployed through ubiquitous mobile technology offers to aspiring authoritarian individuals, organizations and regimes.
Modern technology has removed the barriers to the creation of content. Authoritarians are newly challenged by the capacity of independent creators to produce and distribute content that directly challenges authoritarian narratives – Arab Spring, Turkish Spring, EuroMaidan, Venezuelan Spring, etc. Twitter’s only real value lies in its potential for channeling and controlling access to content.
This perfectly aligns with what we know about Elon Musk views about politics and government. He has clearly stated many times that he considers democracy to be inefficient and out dated.
Well that’s just a shame.
In an order stating that a judgement over ‘willful and malicious conduct’ cannot be shielded by a Bankruptcy filing, U.S. District Judge Christopher Lopez tell Alex Jones that he needs to start liquidating his assets to make a partial payment of the more than $1b judgement against him for his public lies about Sandy Hook and its victims and families.
Jones’ net worth is believed to be about $14m which he was trying to protect and set up a Florida residence to shield it from liens and foreclosure.
Sorry. Fucked around and found out. I can sell you a 15 year old Honda Odyssey with 200k miles if you need transportation. It’s not running but the guy at the gas station assures me it’s just the spark plugs. For YOU, $1200.
Judge Engoron just ordered Trump strip mall attorneys to show cause why his intentional violations of binding court orders should not result in severe sanctions including jail time.

And once again the threat campaign has resulted in the opposition growing.
@132 Most states have a statute of limitations on collecting judgment debts.
@133 Twitter has become a leading purveyor of disinformation, fabrications, and lies about the Hamas-Israel conflict. Musk is a falsehood profiteer. What a POS.
