  1. If it wasn’t for the pre-determined outcome through gerrymandering, in our system, could look to other countries for how to handle a budget impasse, a Snap election instead of a government shutdown. Although not too many have the Senate involved in those. Mainly Australia, but that raises the specter of making such an impasse worse.(With only 6 states, 12Senators per state, all 12 at the same time lowers the threshold, potentially boosting third parties, or as they call it, the Crossbench)

  2. Another video from the curator of the Battleship New Jersey about the remarks on reactivating in the Quantico speech. What would happen to the museum without the ship? Also, asking what would happen to the museum if the ship is no longer able to be a viable museum for other reasons.

    https://youtu.be/_vmNhzkKtFg?si=mTJJa7p9odTbKHEp

    Right now all four completed Iowas are museums, part of one of the unfinished Iowas lives on, there’s a reason why the Wisconsin is called the Whisky.

  3. @3 What on earth does the U.S. Navy need a battleship for in 2025? Besides Chinese target practice?

  4. A fire that damaged a processing unit at California’s second-largest refinery Thursday night and early Friday morning could affect L.A. gasoline supplies and west coast jet fuel supplies.

  5. Dumbfuck’s corollary:

    If it was good they’d release it.

    Jobs Report (complete before the shutdown)

    Epstein Files.

  6. Amelia Earhart is in the news again, but people shouldn’t get too excited about the latest expedition to much-searched Nikumaroro (Gardner) Island or the alleged “anomaly” in its lagoon seen in satellite imagery and aerial photos.

  8. 3)Some probably look at a Burke and think it’s a lightweight because except for the RAM and Harpoon launchers, you don’t see too many of the missiles because of VLS. Drones are the main threat in some areas, and they are way cheaper than the SAMs that are the first line against drones. Seen proposals by BAE Systems to add more Evolved Sea Sparrows to the Burkes, might make the clean lines look ugly, but would boost loadout, as VLS cells are hard to reload underway. Might have to bring back the wall of lead, but don’t have to have the ship’s bristle with guns like WW2. The navy’s current 57mm Bofors MK110 might do the trick against a cheap drone, with the programmable fuzes on the warshots set to Airburst.

    As for the Iowas, I’ve seen many proposals going back decades to upgrade the weaponry beyond the Reagan-era, including replacing the obsolete Secondary battery. The Long Beach was the last ship in service using the 5”38s. The power plant is obsolete.

    Right now, the Navy can’t even adapt a stock Italian Frigate design for American use, without making it over-weight and over budget. The FREMM was supposed to be Modular, as different customers have different priorities. The French variant like many other allied navies, only has one main gun(Oto Melara 76mm), while the Italian ASW version, has two 76mm, as it looks like the Italian Navy uses the 76mm for the CIWS role besides surface warfare and shore bombardment.(Destroyers have up to three). The American version, the Constellation class FFG will have just one 57mm MK110.

  9. 4)Times like this I wished Amtrak had a good reserve to boost train lengths, if not get host railroads to add frequency. Right now Amtrak Cascades is using old Amfleets while the Airos are being assembled. Of Amtrak had any spares, would take three days. The Amfleets are maintained at the Delaware shop, not the main Amtrak shop outside Indianapolis. If they had any spare ones, would have to be sent to DC to be added to the Floridian or Cardinal to Chicago, then added to the Empire Builder.

    Although with METRO buying diesel in advance under contract, might be a good idea to at least cancel weekend trolleybus motorizations. Although they probably would have to return the construction company deposits.

  10. A federal judge has found there’s “a realistic likelihood” that DOJ’s prosecution Kilmar Abrego Garcia is “vindictive” and motivated by “his exercise of his constitutional and statutory rights,” entitling his lawyers to discovery and a hearing on DOJ’s decision making in the case.

    https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5538443-judge-kilmar-abrego-garcia-vindictive-prosecution/

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/politics/kilmar-abrego-garcia-judge-rules-vindictive

    This could lead to dismissal of the charges. It’s also a disbarrable ethics offense.

    If it was not for the existence of The Constitution, you must mean.

    This is what happens when people watch Stacey Abrams larping as the President of Earth or some such shit, and conflating stupidity with reality.

    Your particular form of affliction is worsening, Railfan.

  13. @ 13

    … could look to other countries for how to handle a budget impasse, a Snap election instead of a government shutdown.

    A coup, perhaps.

  14. In other fun news…

    A Pensacola Grand Jury had been empaneled to look at Hope Florida, the fake charity Casey set up to funnel $10m in Medicaid money into a PAC controlled by a longtime DeSantis ally for the purpose of defeating a recreational marijuana legalization initiative of the people.

    1. Indictments likely.
    2. If the Florida Oompa Loompa wants to try again at higher office, “Sir, your wife is in prison for election fraud. Why should we trust you?”

  15. If it was not for the existence of The Constitution, you must mean.

    As long as we’re ignoring the bits about ‘search and seizure’ ‘secure in their persons’ and ‘persons’ generally why not?

  16. Torn??? torn??? whadabuncha RINOS…

    “I don’t know that there’s a perfect answer for me. I won’t be going there,” he said, referring to the Sea Island event. “Utah has had a couple of situations — one was the shooting at the [Mormon] church in Michigan, the other was the death of the president of the church. Because of that, I’m going to be going home to attend his funeral.”

    Curtis cautioned that Republicans need to be “sensitive” about how their actions are perceived during a shutdown.

    “I told the clerk to stop my salary. I just think it’s very important that we’re sensitive to things,” he said, revealing his decision to forgo a congressional salary during the shutdown.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5537287-gop-senators-fundraiser-shutdown/

    Look at what this silly repuke is missing out on:

    The Senate Republicans’ weekend at the luxurious Sea Island Resort is a big draw for Republican donors and lobbyists, giving them face time with important GOP policymakers.

    An invitation to the NRSC’s fall meeting lists “group rates” for rooms at the resort ranging from $495 per night for a Garden Wing Room to $599 per night for the Beach Club One Bedroom Suite.

    And the resort itself is a mecca for golf lovers, featuring three immaculately curated golf courses, a spa and fitness center and a picturesque white sand beach.

    Torn??? This is YOUR TOWNHALL you dumb “torn” repukes.. Your “constituents” have commanded your presence.

    Now here’s a guy who gets it:

    One person familiar with the issue said NRSC Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is lobbying GOP colleagues to show up at the retreat, which has been planned for years.

    Noun, verb, THE LEFT!

  18. @ 16

    HA’s unserious twat is completely oblivious to the reality that Democrats have their own luxury retreat beginning week after next, too. Here’s the invite.

    Democrats Reportedly Quietly Planning Luxury Getaway Escape To 5-Star Resort Despite Looming Government Shutdown

    The majority of the retreat is slated to take place at the hotel, with the noted exceptions of an Oct. 13 wine tour and dinner at the certified organic Staglin Family Vineyards, according to the circulated invitation.

    Hotel Yountville’s website describes the luxury resort and spa as a “vineyard estate-inspired retreat” which “extends a Tuscan-European vibe.”

    “Sleep deeply always, in our luxurious accommodations. Soak in one of our oversized sunken tubs and find warmth by your private fieldstone fireplace,” the hotel’s website states. “Savor a meal at Heritage Oak Café, immerse yourself in our pool, or find repose at our distinguished spa. Hotel Yountville offers more than a Wine Country trip—it’s the luxury escape you didn’t know you needed…until now.”

    The Daily Caller News Foundation asked the DSCC to name the retreat’s objective, cost, and other requirements for attendance. The DCNF also asked the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm if the gathering would still proceed as planned in the event of a shutdown and whether the retreat was created with foreknowledge it may coincide with it. Furthermore, the DCNF asked the DSCC if either of Stevens’s primary opponents or any other 2026 Senate candidates were invited to attend the retreat.

    The DSCC did not respond to any of the DCNF’s questions.

    So tell us, Welfare Queen YLB, what you think you gained by sharing that the GOP plans a retreat despite the shutdown, now that you know that the Democrats, whom 43% of their own voters blame for it if the NYT Siena poll is any indication, are doing the same thing.

    Come on, girlfriend. Enlighten us.

  19. HA’s unserious twat is completely oblivious to the reality that Democrats have their own luxury retreat beginning next week, too. Here’s the invite.

    Yea of course. All this time we were mistaken. The MINORITY party sets the Calendar.

    But but but whaddabout

  20. @18 Troll triggered! Mission accomplished!

    In other news, teh kreepee dumbfuck of widbee is thrilled that orange pants shitter’s “spiritual advisor”, Robert Morris, has received an “appropriate” jail sentence of 6 months:

    A “man” orange pants shitter deemed one of “great reputation”.

    The crime? Diddling a 12 year old girl. Brock Turner got the same time in the klink for “20 minutes of action”.

    Call it the repuke time in “the penalty box”..

    kreepee dumbfuck is holding out for elmo’s first off the assembly line rapebot.

    Hey dumbfuck. Check out the cowboy hats on the LE perp walking Morris. Yeee haaa! Oklahoma!

  21. Donald J. Trump
    @realDonald Trump

    To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S. Military: As per my August 25, 2025 Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison. You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

    Putting aside that such an order is Unconstitutional by Supreme Court Precedent; as per the paragraph, as constructed, ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement and U.S Military will be arrested.

    Thank you for your attention in this matter.

  22. BRING BACK PUBLIC HANGINGS!

    WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters)—An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a ‘perp walk’ of the bureau’s former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said.

  24. @ 20

    @18 Troll triggered! Mission accomplished!

    Well, yes, Welfare Queen YLB. When you write something particularly unserious and silly, I might respond.

    Your mission, apparently, is to behave like a silly twat, read a response, and then run around with your hands in your air and your knees on the carpet as if Barack just won another election.

    It pretty much stopped working for you after 2012, but you go, girl.

  25. @24.. Look at it go! Last shitdown under pants shitter 1.0 lasted 34 or 35 days..

    Somehow I don’t recall the troll as wound up as it is now.

    Gonna be fun.

  26. Pro tip: There are things a Democrat hoping to one day be Virginia’s elected Attorney General should never text to a Republican:

    Greg Price
    @greg_price11

    🚨 National Review just revealed disturbing texts from Virginia Democrat Attorney General candidate Jay Jones wishing death on former Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

    “Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”

    “If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss other graves”

    Makes Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s hateful incitement to violence seem downright amateurish.

  27. @ 26

    One of the reasons I demonstrate little caution about describing scenarios in which Goldy’s daughter might be raped or murdered as a consequence of liberal-favored social policies, or that one or both of Welfare Queen YLB’s two fucked kids might similarly meet a gruesome end to their miserable lives pursuant to the same policy idiocy, is that Democrats such as the asshole who wants to be Virginia’s next elected attorney general does pretty much exactly the same thing:

    According to the source, the Democratic former legislator doubled down on the call, saying the only way public policy changes is when policymakers feel pain themselves, like the pain that parents feel when they watch their children die from gun violence. He asked her to provide counterexamples to disprove his claim.

    Then at one point, the source said, he suggested he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views, prompting Coyner to hang up the phone in disgust.

    Afterward, Jones continued his barrage of text messages, saying he was just asking questions. Coyner dismissed his excuse via text and chastised Jones for “hopping [sic] Jennifer Gilbert’s children would die.”

    Rather than deny that he had wished death on the children, Jones responded by saying, “Yes, I’ve told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”

  28. Rabbit’s hateful incitement to violence seem downright amateurish.

    As in NO incitement.

    Liberals have a 2A right to arm silly dumbfuck..

    td energy. Mary Kay limits you to an antique pea shooter.

    Long may she live.

  29. I demonstrate little caution about describing scenarios in which Goldy’s daughter might be raped or murdered

    cuz it gets you off.. it plays in your head at the vip room.

    politics is a convenient fig leaf for HA consumption.. and no one is fooled. yawwn..

  30. It’s kinda funee that the always wrong wingers and idiots like dumbfuck babble about antifa at the ICE Portland facility that is 5 miles from downtown.. is it just performative on the trolls part? prolly. but I digress.

    There are fucking apartment buildings caddy corner from that ICE facility in Portland.

    The neighbors complain about the noise. The violence only happens when the protesters put a toe over the “blue line” in front of the facility driveway and it’s the goons and the always wrong wing agitators that provoke the mayhem.

    And the always wrong wingers whine about Portland police not doing anything. Arrest protestors for noise? for littering? For disorderly conduct? There’s no deterrence from that.

    There’s all kinds of always wrong wing youtubers recording the action for mass consumption, night after night. Almost nothing happens to them.

    It’s noisy and messy sure. Too bad. This country is in a fascist moment. It’s going to get worse. Way worse.

  31. And this is how it’s going to get way worse.

    The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indicia” (indicators) of violence:

    anti-Americanism,

    anti-capitalism,

    anti-Christianity,

    support for the overthrow of the United States Government,

    extremism on migration,

    extremism on race,

    extremism on gender

    hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,

    hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and

    hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

    “The United States requires a national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence so that law enforcement can intervene in criminal conspiracies before they result in violent political acts,” the directive states (emphasis mine).

    A “pre-crime” endeavor, preventing attacks before they happen, is core to the post-9/11 concept of counterterrorism itself.

    https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nspm-7-labels-common-beliefs

    WTF? Anti-Christianity? Now they’re going after atheists and bible skeptics?

    Only 7 of these fuckers have ever been issued. No 6 is unknown to the general public. It’s classified.

    Orange pants shitter and pee wee german are going to do what Putin has done for years in Russia.

    Anyone goes into the streets, they get arrested. IMMEDIATELY.

    Anyone who thinks or advocates opposition to the pants shitter fascist regime will be “investigated”. Local law enforcement will have no choice but to participate as powers will be expanded.

    This is total shit.

  32. From the last link.

    the plain truth is that NSPM-7 is a declaration of war on anyone who does not support the Trump administration and its agenda. Yes, it repeats the word “violent” over and over to purport only to go after citizens who are moved to take up arms, but it also directs monitoring and intelligence collection to map and target the new “evildoers,” to borrow a Bush label he took from the Bible just days after 9/11.

    The partisan focus couldn’t be more obvious.

    “The real problem is this: since Charlie [Kirk] was murdered — a friend of mine, assassinated — nothing’s changed on their side,” White House counter-terrorism czar Sebastian Gorka told Newsmax after NSPM-7 was signed. “Not one leader —not one left wing thought leader, member of Congress, Senator — nobody has said we distance ourselves from the violent rhetoric.”

    “The left refuses to rid themselves of the justification for violence,” Gorka continued, “and as such, President Trump is taking measures to protect us from the violent rhetoric that becomes snipers and bullets.”

    Dang, watch out never orange pants shitter (and former Bushies like Matt Dowd) who dared diss Charlie Kirk and his offensive asshole rhetoric..

    They’re coming for you. (rolls eyes).

    My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you’d be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

  34. Yet she oozes with contempt.

    Anyone with a brain would “ooze” contempt for a liar and journey”man” sicko-phant like

    J(erkoff) D(ickhead) BOWMAN..

  35. Hey, at least it’s becoming more clear why Welfare Queen YLB is so afraid of “Asians”.

    News Article
    Who Is Sanae Takaichi? Conservative Set To Be Japan’s First Female Leader

    On Saturday, Takaichi was elected leader of the governing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) following a runoff vote.

    Why It Matters

    If confirmed by parliament, Takaichi will become Japan’s fifth prime minister in five years and the first woman to hold the office in the country’s history. Her policies have included a tough stance on immigration, and as the head of government, she would have to navigate domestic and economic pressures, a trade deal with the Trump administration, and a host of geopolitical issues in the wider region.

    Maybe she can gig on Arsenio, like Bill Clinton did:

    She also maintains a less formal image than that of her political colleagues. As a student, she was a motorbike enthusiast, and she played drums in a heavy metal band.

    The average “Asian” woman’s IQ is nearly double that of Welfare Queen YLB.

    The average “Asian” woman will outcompete Welfare Queen YLB’s fucked kid in school. And then purchase rental real estate on Welfare Queen YLB’s block.

  36. @ 31

    Anyone who thinks or advocates opposition to the pants shitter fascist regime will be “investigated”. Local law enforcement will have no choice but to participate as powers will be expanded.

    This is total shit.

    This from the unserious twat who had no trouble with federal air marshals monitoring Tulsi Gabbard and three members of Congress last year.

  37. I see some dumb cunt in Chicago took Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit seriously and armed herself.

    Federal agents shoot woman they say ‘boxed in’ authorities in Brighton Park
    Authorities were on patrol when they were “rammed by 10 cars,” according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the drivers “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon,” prompting officers to open fire, DHS said.

    Thoughts and prayers.

  38. No, really: You libbies were serious about Boxcheck Momala and that doofus Walz?

    Those two were your best and brightest in 2024?

  39. Another intelligent woman to frighten Welfare Queen YLB.

    Look at it go!

  42. Talk about a “doofus”..

    It was widbee kreepshit troll who babbled that religious psycho and prepper Vance Boetler was a big time Tim Walz fan boi who killed Dems for Walz.

    What a fucking loon! “doofus” indeed.

  44. @12 Speaking of gerrymandering, back in 2018 Wisconsin Republicans held two-thirds of the Assembly seats even though Democratic candidates got 55% of the votes. This is the kind of “democracy” that Republicans, the Federalist justices of the Supreme Court, and Doctor Dumbfuck contend is within the letter and spirit of the Constitution. Whatever else it is, it isn’t representative.

  45. newsroom morale is extremely low ahead of Bari Weiss’ imminent arrival, and employees worry about her lack of experience as layoffs loom

    No worries employees (aside from layoffs to make Dave Ellison back some of his munee)..

    It’s just Israel does no wrong. Woke sucks. Trans sucks.. And orange pants shitter is kinda ok..

    It’s not complicated.

  46. @13 Doctor Dumbfuck joins Trump, the Proud Bois, Fidel Castro, and a host of tyrants in wanting to violently overthrow the people’s government and replace it with a tinpot dictatorship.

  47. @ 44

    Speaking of gerrymandering, back in 2018 Wisconsin Republicans held two-thirds of the Assembly seats even though Democratic candidates got 55% of the votes.

    CA and NY are significantly more skewed to the Democrats above their vote shares in those states. But Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit knows his point is weak and is helped not at all by bringing up other states.

  48. It occurs to me if Trump can serve a third term so can Obama, so if the Supremes allow Trump to be a candidate again through some twisted interpretation of the 22nd Amendment the Democrats could nominate Obama to oppose him because he’s entitled to that interpretation, too.

  49. @17 In dumbfuck’s world there are no women, only “dumb cunts,” “bitches,” and a horse. And he goes after me for referring to a garden vegetable by its dictionary term! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

  50. @24 “Well, yes, Welfare Queen YLB. When you write something particularly unserious and silly, I might respond” times three.

    ftfy

    P.S., see #26 for a times ten example.

  51. @27 One of the reasons I demonstrate little caution about describing scenarios in which Goldy’s daughter might be raped or murdered … or that one or both of Welfare Queen YLB’s two fucked kids might similarly meet a gruesome end to their miserable lives ….

    Seems like that’s something you’re wishing for. And you call me “violent”? 🤡🤡🤡

  52. @31 “The United States requires a national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence so that law enforcement can intervene in criminal conspiracies before they result in violent political acts,” the directive states.

    No, it doesn’t, they only need a mirror — and to look into it. Seriously, these folks have zero credibility on the subject of political violence.

  53. @31 I figure settling the countless §1983 lawsuits this administration is racking up will add at least a trillion dollars to the national debt. The next Democratic Congress should raise their taxes to pay for it.

  54. @32 “President Trump is taking measures to protect us from the violent rhetoric”

    References to acting in self-defense are, of course, violent rhetoric. So it appears they’re outlawing your right to defend yourself when they start the “cival war” they’ve so long talked about, or come for you in the night for having a rainbow over your house.

  56. @35 Get a load of dumbfuck’s racial profiling. But it’s positive profiling, so it’s okay! 🤡

    (Only 1 clown emoji for this one) 🐰

  57. @36 Be careful. Don’t go around saying probable cause is required to investigate people. That could upend the entire Trump administration’s police state apparatus.

  59. @47 Perhaps you’d like to provide us with the combined vote totals for each party’s candidates in order to verify your claim?

    I can’t seem to find those numbers on the internet, so I suspect you don’t have them, either.

    Democrats have two-thirds of the seats in New York’s Assembly, but unless Republicans won a majority of the votes statewide, the situations aren’t comparable.

    Democratic control of California’s lower legislative house is even more lopsided; but again, if the total vote is lopsided in favor of Democrats, that situation isn’t comparable, either.

  61. Back to that Chicago apartment building:

    One neighbor told CNN that the majority of those he saw handcuffed outside the building were Black, and some were detained for hours. Residents who returned to their homes found them ransacked, with their units left open after agents broke down the doors, a witness told Block Club Chicago.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/scott-jennings-cnn-dhs-raid_n_68e16030e4b0d63b0a92b08c?origin=home-latest-news-unit

    Dozens of civil rights violations in plain sight. How much will the lawsuits cost taxpayers?

  63. Previous thread fascist excuse for the Republican Shitdown:

    “They’re told to come in on emergency so they can’t be turned away.”

    Which has precisely fuck-all to do with Republicans refusing to extend the Advance Premium Tax Credits. The Actual Nazi Fucktard has just freely admitted that the “illegals” do not receive any coverage from ACA marketplace plans. Something he has always known. Something every Republican in Congress has always known. So when you find yourself debating this claim with a fascist, you should know that you are debating with a liar.

    They all know that cutting off the premium tax credits will only hurt Americans. They all know that 19 million of the 24 million Americans they are fucking over live in Trump states. They intend to fuck over their own voters. And the Actual Nazi Fucktard admits it. The purpose of the Republican Shitdown is to fuck over Trump voters by more than doubling their family health insurance premiums. That’s all that needs to be said in response to any of their fake claims about “illegals”.

  65. 43)This used to be the vote for PM of Japan, since the LDP usually has a majority, but lost it in both houses recently. Probably will barely get over the threshold with support for other parties. A 2/3 Majority outright or coalition is preferable in the Lower House to overcome delays in Upper House. Probably if she wins that vote, will see a new election, as that’s what the past couple did.

  66. The rush to be first

As EWU fans say of an EWU Home victory, the Red has been Protected.(The Inferno at Roos Field). Wasn’t just Homecoming, the Dam Cup was early this year, and going into today, series was tied.

    That last PSU Possession was going to be a nail biter, but it was at the two minute warning and Portland State was out of timeouts.

  73. 70)Recently bought a documentary from a local filmmaker on Amazon Prime about the old Rainiers, seems the Kingdome was an anomaly among professional ballparks in Seattle. Like T-Mobile, Sicks Stadium, was a pitcher’s ballpark, especially if the batter tries for dead center. 402ft from Home Plate, One former Rainier Pitcher in the documentary said, anyone hit a Homerun off him, really deserved it.

  75. With no lawful purpose behind any of it, federal DHS agents have now essentially gone to full scale warfare against peaceful citizens in Portland merely exercising their lawful and Constitutional right to demonstrate in public.

    https://www.opb.org/article/2025/10/05/federal-tactics-on-protesters-escalates-hours-after-judge-rules-against-trump/

    In response to heckling federal agents deployed mortar launched gas and explosive grenades and fired pepper balls at point blank range into a crowd of about 100 peaceful demonstrators gathered on sidewalks near a federal ICE detention facility.

    The purpose of the unlawful escalation into DHS armed violence against peaceful civilians appears to be in order to obtain high definition video for use in propaganda campaigning against U.S. citizens.

  76. It’s FINE. By the time you’re in Pre-foreclosure, selling foot-pics online and giving handos in the dive-bar bathroom to afford food we’ll turn it around.

    Trump’s Team Hones Message on Economy: Just Wait Until 2026

    Advisers work to ease voter anxiety about weak jobs growth and stubborn inflation

  77. Here’s eyewitness video of a DHS agent unlawfully discharging a chemical spray weapon directly into the unprotected face of a peaceful law abiding Portland demonstrator for hurting his feelings with her words:

    https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/10/federal-officer-blasts-chemical-spray-into-vocal-but-nonviolent-portland-protester-video-shows.html

    That’s a felony. The Multnomah County Prosecutor needs to swear out a warrant.

    Portland Police Bureau responded and rendered aid to the injured citizen. But they took no other action to protect the public from violent attack. Because as I have said many hundreds of times previously, police do not do what you have been taught to believe they do.

  78. California Invades Oregon

    A federal judge (appointed by Trump) blocked Trump from deploying the Oregon National Guard to Portland, so Trump is sending the California National guard instead.

  79. @77 It’s well known Trump wants to kill protesters, and I think that eventually will happen. National Guardsmen won’t pull triggers on their neighbors and fellow citizens, but ICE thugs imported from shitholes like Texas will. If the dead protesters include a Democratic congresswoman or alderwoman, that’s even better in his sick mind. And Republicans will decry “left-wing violence.”

  80. @77 ICE isn’t legitimate law enforcement anymore. They’ve become Trump’s brownshirts.

  83. @82 ha ha ha

    But any one of these confrontations between protesters and federal goonery could get unfunny fast, given Trump’s burning desire for blood in the streets (aka “left-wing violence” in GOP parlance).

  84. That’s because folks aren’t in favor of fascism.

    Cry, Kristy the Canine Killer.

    And in fact, they don’t even let our ICE officers and our Border Patrol officers use restrooms. Those men and women were telling us that they have to figure out even where they can go sit down for five minutes to have lunch or to use a restroom throughout their shift and their break. So they’ve made it a very difficult situation

  85. So far all of the entire apartment blocks that ICE has assaulted and emptied out in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Aurora CO have coincidentally been recently acquired by Trump family pals interested in redevelopment and needing to break the leases and avoid local regulations.

  86. @84 That’s because folks aren’t in favor of fascism.

    Exactly. Behave like fascists, get treated accordingly.

    Enforcing the immigration laws doesn’t require kicking in doors and ransacking apartments without search warrants, arresting U.S. citizens (they lack jurisdiction to do that), denying detainees access to lawyers, moving them hundreds of miles away to separate them from their families and holding them in inhumane conditions, or terrorizing kids.

    If ICE stopped that shit and operated within the boundaries of detainees’ constitutional rights and lawful exercise of the police power, they wouldn’t get pushback like that. They brought it on themselves with by abusing people and acting like they’re above the law. If they invade our cities like an enemy army, they can’t expect the keys to the city, they should bring their own pee bottles.

  87. Allright we’ll get the CALIFORNIA guard

    That’s a great way for the attorneys to find themselves in contempt.

  88. @87 Oregon is taking them back to court tomorrow.

    “What was unlawful with the Oregon National Guard is unlawful with the California National Guard,” Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in a news conference. “The judge’s order was not some minor procedural point for the president to work around like my 14-year-old does when he doesn’t like my answers.”

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/05/us/oregon-trump-california-national-guard

    They are, of course, dealing with children: Trump, Bondi, Noem, Homan, et al., so they have to be instructed like children. The judge could even decide they need a timeout.

  91. 88)The judge is supposedly a lackey for Oregon’s senators, getting in under blue slips.

  92. I noticed SOUNDER is running for both the Seahawks and Mariners today. For decades they had to have the return trip start no later than 5:30pm, so got to give credit where it is due to allow it for this Mariners game, BNSF, although in the case of the baseball series, the dispatchers are Rangers fans.

  94. @88

    Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon

    Judge to Administration attorney:

    “You are an officer of the Court, and my order dealt with conditions in Portland, so are you trying to circumvent my order?”

    (Translation, you are right at the line of ME referring this to the bar for disciplinary action myself)

  96. The Trump-appointed federal judge has expanded her latest order to include all states because Hegseth and Gov. Abbott are now scheming to send the Texas National Guard to Oregon.

  99. 98,
    Judge Immergut found comparable conduct from ICE in Portland. In Chicago ICE have taken to directly attacking CPD with chemical weapons.

  100. Voting is underway this morning in California on new Congressional district maps to defend our state from fascism.
    Very early indications are that voter participation will be unusually high.

    A full week after MAGA pastor John Paul Sheptock, 49 was arrested for blackmailing a 17 year old for nude photos and on arrest being found to be in possession of lots of child porn the profile pic on his Facebook page is him and a smiling thumbs up Donald Trump surrounded by his wife and daughters. The daughters of course being around the ages of his victims.
