Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 10/24/25, 8:51 am

Heeeey, the election is coming up. Get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by November 4. And, hey, you don’t have to just vote. There’s still time to walk a few precincts. Or whatever your favorite candidate wants. Or the coordinated campaign.

Big things like Seattle mayor could use your help. But man oh man, nobody appreciates you like a lower profile campaign.

And if you can’t do that, you can still tell your friends. Or donate, but it’s kind of late for that. Politics is not just a spectator sport.

    I leave for a few days and the comment volume goes to shit.

    Howz about that inflation number? Low inflation PLUS tariff revs.

    Small wonder libbies feel so unempowered. So weak.

    NSPM-7 identifies a terrifyingly vague list of First Amendment-protected political beliefs as indications of “domestic terrorism,” including “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity,” “extremism on migration, race, and gender,” and opposition to “traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”

    Life-long atheist, “not afraid of burning in hell”…

    Headed to a MAGAstapo cell near where he lives.. Seattle last I knew.

    Howz about that inflation number?

    Americans are worried about the cost of basic needs including healthcare, food, housing and energy, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found, suggesting those concerns could be critical in next year’s midterm elections that will determine control of the U.S. Congress.

    Affordability worries helped power Republican President Donald Trump’s 2024 election. But 10 months into his second term, voters have continued to face high prices for everyday staples – and are looking for relief.

    Some 40% of respondents in the six-day poll, which closed on Monday, said candidates’ positions on the cost-of-living would be the single biggest factor in their vote next year, compared to 28% who said the top issue would be protecting democracy and democratic norms. Another 14% said immigration was the biggest issue and 9% said crime.

    Keep on dreamin’ from that bourbon-soaked, horsey property bubble..
