– I support both an art district and more streetcars better connected, but I don’t know that the second is the key to making the first work.

– Looks like the link has finally been found.

– Seattle impounding people’s cars when those cars are their only home is heart breaking.

    The Democrats’ top dawg in the House has some seriously bad news for HA’s unserious twat, Queen YLB:

    BLITZER: “Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush is facing bipartisan criticism, as you probably know right now, after she actually accused Israel in engaging in what she called an ethnic cleansing campaign. How do you respond to your Democratic colleague?”

    Jeffries: “Israel is not conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign. Israel is not engaged in genocide. Israel was brutally attacked in the most horrific way on October 7th. It has resulted in the largest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust. And Israel is in a position where it is responding and going after Hamas. That is a necessary and urgent project for it to complete.

    Please, Queen YLB, argue to your party’s leader in the House that taking out 40,000 Hamas is genocidal to all of the other 5 million Palestinians.

    Maybe you could use the same argument you made that Cocaine Mitch shook in his boots over a seat flip in the Virginia House four years ago.

    Maybe some Marine barracks like they used to have in Lebanon.

    “Talks are underway to establish a multinational force in Gaza after Israel uproots Hamas, two senators confirmed Wednesday, the clearest sign yet that the U.S. and its partners are seriously weighing deploying foreign troops to the enclave.”

    US boots on the ground in Gaza. Would Queen YLB claim that Joe Biden is furthering genocide once the US is assisting, one wonders?

    Jeffries: “Israel is not conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign

    Yawwwn… Jeffries is wrong and for the worst reasons.. politics.. donors… And looks like a chump doing that.

    Benny Morris says Jeffries is wrong.. Morris believes ethnic cleansing is justified.

    Anything else? Oh genocide..

    The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group.

    Israel has been called an apartheid state, an ethno state. All evidence points to that. What else could “jewish state” mean? Everyone who is not Jewish in Israel is barely tolerated when they’re not being suppressed, oppressed, expelled, harassed, undermined and/or killed..

    https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/the-gaza-ification-of-the-west-bank

    Again Benny Morris, a leftist historian, claims Ben-Gurion erred by not displacing all Arabs. To displace a people from a place where they thrived for generations is part and parcel of a program of genocide..

    https://www.thegenocidereport.org/global-issues/forced-displacement/

    What did Hitler do first to the Jews in Germany? He displaced them.. He sent them away..

    Yawwnn.. next?

    Joe Biden is furthering genocide

    Heh.. Will Joe “cut and run” like bonzo did in Lebanon?

    Joe sent in the special ops to help rescue hostages.. Some of them are American citizens.

    When the Seals, Delta and Green Berets start stacking kids, we’ll talk more kreepshit.. in the meantime, fap away…

    taking out 40,000 Hamas…

    “civilians” you mean..

    Wow how casual it is about stacking that many bodies..

    Go higher kreepshit, higher, you’re an addict.. you need more dead people with funny last names..

  8. 8

    1500 vs. 40000 (heh.. yeah right)…

    a “true” equivalence.. an “equitable” balancing of the books..

  9. 9

    @ 6

    Wow how casual it is about stacking that many bodies..

    You were awfully casual about 1400 Jewish bodies 3 1/2 weeks ago, Queen YLB.

    A body attached to an AK-47 is a body that doesn’t bother me, Queen YLB. Hamas doesn’t wear uniforms and it purposely hides among civilians, so it’s understandable that I use the term “civilians” in the present case. Some of them truly want nothing to do with Hamas. Many of them provide support – “aid and comfort” – to Hamas in some may, and might very well be in the crosshairs of Israeli tanks, planes, or mortars for non-innocent reasons.

    Pity about the children, but somewhat less pity when it’s a child on video firing an AK-47. After all, people around HA seem not to care when a hunting accident kills a kid, and when inner city gunfire does it the only reason people on HA care is because it provides another reason for them to demand a complete repeal of 2A.

    Gaza is a situation that arguably requires well defined terms.

    Israel posseses a legitimate causus belli justifying a full scale military response with the objective of eliminating Hamas in Gaza.

    Arguably “ethnic cleansing” takes place in the absence of any such causus belli or at least in spite of it. Is that taking place?
    Perhaps.
    But probably not in Gaza. And far more credibly it is taking place in the West Bank where settler paramilitary bands with the support of police are invading Palestinian communities, rounding up residents based on their Arab ethnicity, and removing them from the land primarily via violence.

    But with that ongoing process of ethnic cleansing already existing in the West Bank, there is very good cause to be concerned that IDF operations in Gaza could easily suffer mission creep in the direction of ethnic cleansing. I’d estimate the probability at greater than 30%, even without any active resistance from the residents of Gaza. If average Gazans begin to resist and fight back resulting in any significant number of IDF casualties, then that probability rises to much better than 50%.

  11. 11

    @ 8

    1500 vs. 40000

    1400 was the number of Israelis killed on October 7, Queen YLB. They weren’t carrying AK-47s at the time.

    40,000 is the estimated number of Hamas, virtually all of whom are armed to the teeth.

    There’s no reason Israel needs to be proportionate. Fuck your feelings, ya dumb twat.

  12. 12

    @ 11

    That 1400 number seems pretty fluid, and might include all Israeli combatants killed since October 7 as well as the citizens slaughtered on that date.

    Subheadline from Jerusalem Post, right now:

    1,400 Israelis murdered since October 7, including 331 soldiers

    I don’t consider it murder when it’s combat in enemy territory.

  13. 13

    Jpost says that more than a million Palestinians have evacuated from north Gaza.

    Hey, Queen YLB, that’s a million fewer civilians subject to “genocidal” Israeli activity.

    The military has used six different methods to encourage evacuation, including: phone calls, text messages, fliers, social media, public media calls, and occasionally “roof knocking,” which includes the firing of a missile to bang loudly on a roof – without exploding – to scare and motivate civilians to evacuate, after earlier warnings are ignored.

    It’s almost as if Israel is clearing out civilians so that it can engage just with militants.

    I’m sorry the loss of life won’t be nearly as severe as your ilk needs, Queen YLB.

    “Leave my children alone, Engoron. You are a disgrace to the legal profession!”

    Official bio from the company that is currently in the crosshairs of further convictions in a New York courtroom:

    As an Executive Vice President at The Trump Organization, Donald Jr. works to expand the company’s real estate, retail, commercial, hotel and golf interests. His extensive real estate development experience, rigorous education and inherent business sense add a level of detail and depth to the management of all current and future Trump projects.

    Based out of Jupiter, Florida, Donald Jr. actively oversees The Trump Organization’s extensive property portfolio. He is involved in all aspects of the company’s development, from deal evaluation, analysis and pre-development planning to construction, branding, marketing, operations, sales and leasing.

    Upon joining the Trump Organization in 2001, Donald Jr. initially worked at Trump Place, the historic West Side Yards redevelopment in New York City, one of the most ambitious and successful large scale development projects in Manhattan. The project spanned several blocks, featured 17 buildings, and created a new community. From there he went on to lead the development of Trump Park Avenue, a conversion of the landmark Hotel Delmonico to an ultra-luxury residential condominium on Park Avenue at East 59th Street, which has been a tremendous success.

    Conservative billionaires with regular business before the federal courts have showered Associate Justice Pubic Hair with 38 destination vacations, 26 private jet flights, 6 helicopter flights, Yacht voyages, fancy private school tuition, and a rock star house for his Mom.

    Pubic Hair will rule on one of their cases in the current term. Potentially saving them hundreds of millions if (when) he rules favorably.

    This is what Republican “governance” looks like all the time.

    @9 “demand a complete repeal of 2A”

    I’ll settle for reasonable regulation of firearms, of the sort they didn’t do in Maine, which is much less than just interpreting the 2A according to its actual words.

  19. 19

    @11 The operative word here is “estimated.” The governing word is “actual,” viz., in an actual war, when shooting actual missiles, bombs, shells, and bullets at actual people, the legitimate targets are actual combatants, not imaginary, estimated, or pretended ones. And feelings have nothing to do with it. This might be hard for someone with your military experience to grasp.

    @17 And McConnell says Democratic subpoenas issue to the non-cooperating billionaires who lavished those gifts and reaped the favorable rulings is inappropriately picking on private citizens.

    Awwww.. How many kids are gonna be in that 40k number kreepshit? Are you saying a 3 year old reduced to a red puddle by an Israeli bomb bothers you? It shouldn’t.. The country that can do no wrong calls it “a tragedy of war”…

    And keep kidding yourself about that number.. It’s already a laughable fantasy.. You imagine the armed forces of the country that can do no wrong have magic bullets that always hit the armed swarthy guy .

    Who knows? Maybe Bibi and his wise men have set that limit.. But if not..

    heh. we’ll have fun rubbing it in your face…

    Israel posseses a legitimate causus belli justifying a full scale military response with the objective of eliminating Hamas in Gaza.

    That went away after the hospitals in Gaza started stacking kids in body bags.. It certainly went away after the neonatal units all but shut down due to no fuel and Israel’s response was “ask Hamas for the fuel”..

    The only reasonable response in my book after that was cease-fire.

    Repair the fucking walls so pampered Israelis can thumb their noses at the open air prison from the “joy” festival, patch shit up and hold hearings about how the IDF and Shin Bet fucked things up.

    I’m sure Isreal would love to do more under the radar and cloak of “responding to Hamas”

    We, unlike the Cult of The FuckHump, don’t always agree with what “Our Leaders” say. And we know the politics that are played. And we can thing for ourselves. But we aren’t stupid enough to think that the GOP is the better option. The GOP is the devil reincanated. The GOP are terrorists themselves. They are fascist pigs neanderthal heterosexual bigots.

    But a mass slaughter in Gaza now conveniently diverts attention from that failure.

    @41 Bob either doesn’t realize or won’t admit Israel was seizing Palestinian land before Oct. 7, 2023. That’s not what instigated those attacks, though. Fucking with their religion was.

    “In April 2021, during both Passover and Ramadan, the site was a focus of tension between Israeli settlers and Palestinians. Jewish settlers broke an agreement between Israel and Jordan and performed prayers and read from the Torah inside the compound, an area normally off limits to non-Muslims.

    “On 14 April, Israeli police entered the area and forcibly cut wires to speakers in minarets around the mosque, silencing the call to prayer, claiming the sound was interfering with an event by the Israeli president at the Western Wall.

    “On 16 April, seventy thousand Muslims prayed in the compound around the mosque, the largest gathering since the beginning of the COVID pandemic; police barred most from entering the structure itself. …

    “On 15 April 2022, Israeli forces entered the Temple Mount and used tear gas shells and sound bombs to disperse Palestinians ….

    With the Center City Connector or Culture Connector as it’s now called, it’s needed to connect both lines, and provide a connection on 1st. I remember about 15 years ago, the old 15 and 18 ran on 1st Ave, and the 10 and 12 were thru routed. Before becoming the D line, tge 15 was rerouted to 3td and the 10/12 were broken up. While Should have built this when they were building one or both of the existing lines. Then a branch line to Seattle Center, to provide a connection with the Ferry Dock. Not sure how many Kraken fans come from across the Sound, but the current options have too many transfers. Monorail to Westlake, LINK to Pioneer Square or University St, and either a walk or a ride on the C or H lines to the dock.

    I’ve noticed it’s a couple block non-revenue spur to the First Hill lines yard on Dearborn/Charles St. If only Metro hadn’t sold Jefferson Base to Seattle University. Same distance from 14th/Yesler to the athletic field that once was a streetcar barn and still used for trolleybuses as late as tge 70s

    “I’m sure I’ve signed dozens of these [certifications] in my time as trustee.”

    Last I checked there was no volume discount in financial compliance requirements.

    But I find it immensely telling that Shouty McCokeFace believes there is. In truth, at least in federal accounting fraud, years of experience count against you. Swearing false financial statements over and over again for many years actually counts against a defense.

    But he’s so fucking high he probably thinks he’s sitting in the Bunny Grotto at Hef’s being interrogated by Warren Beatty.

    Q: You signed certification intending that the bank would rely on it.

    53 – Maybe both parties need to stop using the IRS as a weapon against each other?

    54,

    Pay your taxes. The law is the law.
    Perhaps not unlike our broken immigration system, in our federal tax code we have erected a Byzantine monument to the special interests of very wealthy families, corporations, and tax avoiding grift hustlers. That code, by it’s very nature requires a robust and well funded enforcement apparatus in order to ensure a reasonable degree of fairness and efficiency. So in fact, the way a political party like the GOP “weaponizes” the tax code is by gutting funding for enforcement.

    That results in the burdens of taxation falling more heavily upon those families, and small businesses who are unable to field an army of tax lawyers and accountants to cheat in ways that are difficult to detect without lots of investigation and enforcement. Gutting enforcement “weaponizes” the tax code against wage earners at the behest of billionaires to help the pay for spare Super Yachts and corporate jets.

    Stop being their patsy you imbecile.

  56. 56

    53,

    The gutting of IRS enforcement will result in an additional $12 billion to the deficit according to Congress’ own accounting.

    This for a $14 billion dollar aid package.

    So the net difference between an unfunded package and the one proposed by House Republicans paid for by gutting tax enforcement is equal to a one tenth of one percent of the deficit.

    It’s not about cutting the deficit.

    It’s about protecting greedy billionaires.

  57. 57

    Wessley Snipes? Well it’s tonally different. When I say ‘I relied on accounting experts’ and signed fraudulent legal financial documents year after year it’s not the same as him claiming he relied on lawyers and accountants to sign fraudulent legal financial documents year after year.

    I’m white so it’s all good. How did a black guy afford an accountant anyway? That’s proof right there.

    “Several videos have emerged on social media appearing to show Israeli troops abusing bound and blindfolded Palestinian detainees. Some of the footage, first noticed on the social media platform X on Tuesday and reviewed by NBC News, shows Palestinian detainees lying on the ground naked. In one video, a man is kicked in the stomach as he kneels, then spit on.

    “In the most graphic scene, soldiers stand around a group of blindfolded Palestinian men whose hands are tied behind their backs. Most of the detainees are shirtless or completely naked. An Israeli soldier can be seen stomping on the head of one Palestinian man who is on his back, his bound hands covering his face. The man cries out for his mother in Arabic. He is then dragged away, screaming. …

    “NBC News could not independently verify where or when any of the footage was shot. The circumstances under which the videos were captured are also unknown, as are the events preceding and following them.

    “However, in a story published Wednesday, The Times of Israel described a set of images and videos, including the footage reviewed by NBC News, that it said show Israeli soldiers mistreating Palestinian detainees in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli news outlet Ynet, meanwhile, reported that the incident involving the naked detainees was shot near the Gaza Strip. The footage has drawn renewed attention to the conduct of Israel’s military.”

    So these images of IDF soldiers detaining and torturing civilians in the West Bank would not be examples of any war crimes.

    Speaker Mike’s first project is a deficit-creating bill diverting $14.3 billion from IRS enforcement against super-rich tax cheaters to Israel that Biden will veto if the Senate doesn’t.

    The Senate will amend this bill to delete the raid on IRS funding and restore money for Ukraine aid, then send it back to Speaker Mike and his cohort.

    At this point, a rational partisan stuntman like McCarthy, Boehner, and all of MAGA Mike’s other GOP predecessors would settle for making their point, and thrash out a compromise the Senate and president will accept.

    I don’t think Engoron is actually eager to believe any of these preening assholes. But he’s obligated to consider their testimony without bias.

    That goes out the window the minute a witness is caught lying to the court. Engoron can simply cite the instances of lying in his decision without further comment, and then declare their testimony disregarded.

    I promise you, this is not what the defense attorneys worked on with them in prep. Too stupid to get out of their own way.

    Jesse Watters is a racist bigot, and Fox News is a hate group.

    This is the kind of shit you write when you don’t want to write that a judge ordered a new election because Democrats were caught stuffing the ballot box.

    Bridgeport, Elections
    Court Overturns Ganim Win in Bridgeport Primary, Calling Evidence of Fraud ‘Shocking’

    At the witness stand, Ganim told the court he was “shocked” by an 18-minute video – subpoenaed by Gomes from Bridgeport police – that appeared to show 12 instances of Geter-Pataky either depositing stacks of ballots herself or handing ballots to others from behind her reception desk, and four instances of Martinez dropping off ballots.

    Asked about the footage during the hearings, both Geter-Pataky and Martinez asserted their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Ganim, who appeared to win the primary by 250 votes after a count of absentee ballots, denied any involvement in the alleged fraud.

    So yes, by all means, talk about Fox News rather than about how Democrats conspired and then went out to actually change the result of an election in the United States.

    Or maybe instead claim that the ballot box stuffing dents had all of the earmarks of a guided missile launched from IAF aircraft.

    They gotta turn up the crazy bigotry and hate if they don’t want to lose any more of their ignorant trailer-nation audience to OAN and Newsmax.

    Jury found Sam Bankman-Fried guilty on all counts. This was predictable; anyone with a bushy haircut like his looks guilty. Heh, just kidding.

    “Amazon used a secret algorithm that essentially helped the company raise prices on other online sites and ‘destroyed’ some internal communications as the Federal Trade Commission was investigating the company, according to a newly unredacted portions of the agency’s antitrust lawsuit against the e-commerce giant.”

    @78 WTF does that have to do with Watters’ racism and bigotry, and Fox News’ hate-peddling-for-profit?

    But I’m glad to see you hop on board the Honest Elections Train; for a long time, I’ve wondered about you. But I don’t have to wonder about your party, or the candidate you voted for twice.

    81,
    That’s actually one of the statements under oath that the Failson was forced to repudiate when AG confronted him with company communication records proving he worked on the financial statements.

    Lying on the stand with dramatic flair is still lying on the stand.
    All he managed to do was draw more attention to the lying.

    Chip off the old fascist.

    “In the most graphic scene, soldiers stand around a group of blindfolded Palestinian men whose hands are tied behind their backs. Most of the detainees are shirtless or completely naked. An Israeli soldier can be seen stomping on the head of one Palestinian man who is on his back, his bound hands covering his face. The man cries out for his mother in Arabic. He is then dragged away, screaming. …

    I don’t expect anything less from Hererosexual Neanderthals.

    All this wouldn’t be happening if there were more gay people in the world. Gay people celebrate life. Heterosexuals celebrate death.

    A margin call can do that. He’s looking for someone to buy his horse.

    Put it up on a street corner for rent for an hour. Another Repuke will be there to oblige.

    “Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents, Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried, are both tenured Stanford law professors. Bankman specializes in tax law, while Fried is an expert in legal ethics.”

    Why are they still there? Given that …

    ” … Bankman and Fried discussed with their son transferring a $10 million cash gift and a $16.4 million property in the Bahamas to them. Bankman and Fried either knew ‘or ignored bright red flags’ that indicated their son and his business partners were ‘orchestrating a vast fraudulent scheme’ …. Bankman repeatedly described FTX as a ‘family business’ and … became a paid employee. In addition, Fried also allegedly played the role of an adviser to her son ….”
