Good morning. I was walking down the waterfront and really admire those of you still on your bicycle in this. And kind of surprised how many people there were. Not that walking in the yuck is great. Anyway!
- I think the swap of streetcars between Tacoma and Portland will be good for both cities. Hopefully not a white elephant.
- Oh man, I look forward to seeing the Moving Stories Metro is producing. Maybe some of you can apply.
- Carl Ballard approves of Joe Ballard.
- Thank goodness for the West Coast Healthcare Alliance, Hep B vaccination edition.

US layoffs are on track to exceed the Great Financial Crisis levels: US employers announced 1,170,821 job cuts in 2025, the 2nd-highest number in 16 years. In November, firms announced 71,321 job cuts, a level exceeded only twice since the Financial Crisis, in 2022 and 2008.
A lot of people died in 2025

kreepee dumbfuck babbles that’s good for the kids. Any shill for greed especially.
@ 2
Good one.
Although “city” might be a bit excessive for a municipality of 4500 people living in 4 square miles.
@ 3

Well over 8 million were laid off during The Great Recession.
You are a clown.
Any chance at a Democrat in the White House in 2029 means coming clean about the incompetence of the last Democrat in the White House, NYT has concluded.
How Biden Ignored Warnings and Lost Americans’ Faith in Immigration
The Democratic president and his top advisers rejected recommendations that could have eased the border crisis that helped return Donald Trump to the White House.
Why turn the border crisis over to someone you chose as a running mate solely because of her skin color and gender?
Democrats are slowly realizing how many elections they have lost because they embraced the silliness of global warming.
The left’s climate panic is finally calming down
It was only 5 1/2 years ago when Biden’s soon-to-be-AWOL SecDef called climate change an “existential threat”. How fucking silly.
But he was correct in one sense. The Biden presidency no longer exists.
@7 to keep the tax cuts coming, kreepfuck depends on xenophobic and racist trash..
like bbqd cats and dogs.. yawwnn.. such an asswipe..
refugee programs like that for the Haitians meant a workforce willing to do jobs Americans don’t want to do and what do those workers do?
They send money back home so their families stay where they are. No drownings at sea.. No deadly transits across deserts.
Compared to the “legal” h2-a visa program that was busted for slavery:
https://www.ajc.com/news/this-has-been-happening-for-a-long-time-modern-day-slavery-uncovered-in-ga/SHBHTDDTTBG3BCPSVCB3GQ66BQ/
Biden fixed it and guess what?
pants shitter undid the fixes..
https://www.visaverge.com/news/trump-administration-suspends-2024-labor-rule-protecting-foreign-h-2a-farmworkers/
And of course lowered the minimum wages those workers would be paid.
yawwwn.. we all can see how kreepfuck and those it fellates are “serious” about “legal” immigration.
because they embraced the silliness of global warming.
Next heat dome that covers widbee the kreepfuck will babble endlessly about “boxchecks” and “colds”:

For want of another tax cut. yawwwn.. next?
Babbling about tree-hugging maybe?
@ 10
Fewer hemlock, more Doug fir. So?
Looking forward to the resilience follow-up study.
@11 Mary Kay and the trees she makes you hug – looking forward to the knock down drag out over heat domes..
lmao..
Was there a knock down drag out over Virginia Giuffre’s book?
Screams of “dumb cunt” echoing across widbee? heh..
Why would Biden’s FBI not arrest a guy they knew to be the bomber, three months into his term?
You know why. Don’t you.

Questions for Elijah:
If Cole was MAGA why would the Trump DOJ have been so happy to announce his arrest?
If Cole was MAGA why would the Biden DOJ have let him slide?
Douglas fir trees, which typically experienced the most extreme temperatures at higher elevations, were less sensitive to the heat.
lmao.. monoculture forests are healthy forests.. See Paradise, CA for that.. But what would they know? Just a buncha pants shitter fans in that town.
Looking forward to the resilience follow-up study.
Why bother kreepfuck? The researchers who do that kind of work have all been let go, amirite?
Besides why bother studying “resilience” to something that doesn’t exist? Heat domes to your ilk are just more “fake news”.
Get with the denial program kreepfuck.. There’s munee to be made.
If Cole was MAGA why would the Trump DOJ have been so happy to announce his arrest?
Wasn’t that answered already?
BLACK… just hang “blm” and be done with it.. “anarchist writings”, ’nuff said.
Oh shit, forgot about “obama voter”.. kreepfuck answered its own silly question. My bad..
yawwn.. silly..
According to YLB forest fires never happened prior to human industrialization.
The clown show that Democrats wanted to run the country this year:
Boxcheck Momala

Small wonder that Pelosi’s seen enough and wants the fuck out.
forest fires never happened prior to human industrialization.
lmao.. Huge industrial tree farm right behind Paradise, CA.. Fire started there or figured in greatly as I recall..
Industrial Tree Plantations Linked to Higher Megafire Risk — New Science Raises Hard Questions for Managers
Native Americans practiced protective burning. They knew exactly what they were doing as their very lives depended on healthy forests.
Washington DC’s police chief got caught manipulating crime statistics, and is getting out before she’s forced out.
All of which means it’s time for another silly spew by YLB claiming that it’s red state governors responsible for blue city crime.
it’s red state governors responsible for blue city crime.
It’s time for silly kreepfuck to shill at HA for another repuke U.S. Senator to fix red state city crime..

At least Robert Johnson had a good excuse.
MAGA ignorance is willful. And they prove it daily.
Say, howz come G-clown hasn’t whined about the price of gas lately?
@24 too funny. lower gas prices mean Americans driving farther to find increasingly scarce goods and services that they can afford.
Outlet shopping is so nineties it would seem.
Just shop on-line.. whatever..

Oh, great. Another humiliating emotional spectacle from the always lying, always gaslighting troll.
He’s already ruined. I’m not taking time today to bounce the rubble. Other than to remind y’all that when last we left this the troll was rushing headlong down a paranoid conspiracy that proposed that Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are taking active measures to humiliate and discredit a desperately lonely nobody living in a damp wooded trailer compound on an island in Puget Sound that neither one of them could even name.
@25 Not to mention, over 1 million layoffs this year. yawwn..
i.e. “demand destruction”..
Sadistic child abuse. MAGA on brand as pedophiles.

@5 And “Fort” (as in “Fort Myers, Florida”) is a bit excessive for a city that doesn’t have a fort.
Gonna quibble about a place name today to distract attention from the daily atrocities being committed by your Fuhrer?
@8 Wherein the dumbfuck troll posits that opinion polls will determine the future habitability of the planet, sea level rise, droughts, etc.
The Earth doesn’t give a shit what you stupid humans do to it. It’s going to be here whether it’s habitable or not. It would be perfectly content to be a hot bare rock again.
Please take a look at today’s “Judging Freedom” on YouTube. John Kiriakou spoke with Judge Napolitano concerning the CIA’s extensive use of torture, especially during the GWB Administration.
After watching this nearly 37 minute presentation, you will realize the CIA, along with other government agencies, is a criminal organization that should be totally defunded and dismembered.
There really is a Deep State, and it is comprised of traitors to the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The Streetcar Swap allows the T-Line to be streamlined around the Brookville Liberty NXT. Both models are a little behind the times. Most of the world has gone to 100% low floor in this category, including the OEM of the Tacoma cars, Škoda. The Skoda’s have doors in the High Floor section, Liberty’s only in the Low Floor section. On age, Tacoma and Sound Transit are coming out the winner. The Skoda’s were are the T-Line’s first rolling stock, and I believe piggybacked on a Portland order.
John Kiriakou
a whistleblower who strongly believed his country shouldn’t torture.. Sloppy journos at The Intercept led to his doing time in prison.
At the same, strongly believes in a CIA with some ethical boundaries.
Btw, has a show on RT and claims he can say whatever he wants including Putin is a fucking rogue state actor and mass murderer for what he’s doing in Ukraine.
I love what he says about Israel. He’s a interesting watch.
Under Biden, gas prices were the highest they had ever been
Liar, liar:
The peak inflation-adjusted price was $6.116, reached in July 2008.
And who was crying like a baby over Biden “raping” the SPR?
@13 Why would Biden’s FBI not arrest a guy they knew to be the bomber, three months into his term?
Because nothing in those two pages suggests they knew who the unnamed “user” was until very recently. And who the hell is Xitter user “@J6Select”? If this screed was posted by a government agency, do you think it would include only pages 68 and 5 of the report, and have only 86.1K views? The poster is some shithead posing as a congressional committee. According to rightwing tabloid Daily Mail and other sources, the suspect was identified the morning of Dec. 4 and arrested the same day.

“I’m terrified”: Florida woman who spent years voting Republican now faces losing the health coverage keeping her alive
Jaramillo, diagnosed with acute kidney disease in 2022, relies on Affordable Care Act insurance—made affordable only through the expanded subsidies created under the American Rescue Plan. When those subsidies expire at the end of the year, her monthly premium will more than double, and the treatments protecting her kidneys will become out of reach.
For Jaramillo, the political rhetoric has stopped being theoretical. A lifelong Republican voter, she now admits that her party’s stance on health care—and the financial pain she’s about to face—has shaken her loyalty.
“It’s wavering,” she said.
>> “Oh honey, you are getting what you voted for. Why are you not more grateful?”
Trump refuses to share pre-holiday inflation report — first skipped month in 12 years
>> Inflation is so bad, he’s going to release the Epstein files to distract MAGA.

If the Epstein files are ever released, they’ll be so heavily redacted that no one will ever be able to identify the true criminals involved. It’s corruption, corruption and MORE corruption, over and over again!
“Oh honey, you are getting what you voted for. Why are you not more grateful?”
Didn’t teh kreepee troll babble something about “getting the government they deserve” or “getting it good and hard”?
Well, judging from my local area, it still hasn’t gone below $2.69/gallon, like it was approximately mid-2024. It currently is $2.83/Gallon. Only as of the more recent 2-4 weeks, when it was $3.15/gallon.
Prior to 2-4 weeks ago it was $3.15. About 2-4 weeks ago it got as low as $2.95/gallon, then shot up to $3.15 overnight, literally overnight. About 4 weeks ago I filled up midafternoon one day for like $2.95, when later that same day in the evening it went to $3.15, literally in an hour.
I’m surprised and shocked that the Con Man hasn’t gotten it below $2.69 yet, and even after all the increased production by OPEC. Them oil companies have got to increase their pockets.
Bob is always a POS! He failed medical school. Good think he isn’t a scientist.

A TPUSA SAS (Student Action Summit)!
lmao.. Every other day silly Benny posts pictures of his kids to Xitter or whereever.. Milo calls this out as “weird”.. as in.. I’m not GAY! I’m not GAY!
AND.. Milo insults Benny’s wifeypoo as “looking old”.. ROTFLMAO..
Whadayathinkofthat kreepee dumbturd?
Milo also sez Charlie Jerk was gay and somewhere in the mix was a rumor that Charlie and Erika were DEE-VORCE bound.
To top it all off.. Milo claims he has receipts and scoffs at Benny’s threats to sue and offers to pay 10k for sessions with Milo’s conversion therapist!
You.can’t.make.this.shit.up!

The average German citizen supported the Nazi pogroms:

Does the average American citizen support the fascist purges of immigrants?
Polling numbers say no. But then there’s that “30 percent” or so of very strong support.
One detail of comparison is off to my view. No way does an American “volunteer” to guard or manage the local ice or cbp gulag camp.
They wanna be paid. They want that bonus. They love being bought.

I’m just making an observation. The issue of protesters invading political figures’ private lives came up years ago, and I posted then that I’m against that. My position hasn’t changed. As for death threats, it seems to be mostly rightwingers doing that, but yeah, Republican assholes shouldn’t get death threats either.

Working so well that I lifted the restrictions on selling the most advanced nVidia chips to China and China may start buying soybeans again. President Xi totally capitulated to ME and will think about it.
All the national security morons don’t know anything and these chips are nothing compared to the soy China is considering buying.
I also want to thank nVidia for being behind me and Ballroom with their generous donation.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.
A little follow up to my comment on the Streetcar Swap, the two models from the manufacturer websites.
What Sound Transit would be getting from Portland.
https://www.brookvillecorp.com/products/streetcars/modern-streetcars/
What Portland would be getting from Sound Transit:
https://www.skodagroup.com/reference/tramcar-elektra-portland
The current Skoda’s were piggybacked on a Portland order, so should be few problems. Plus, Sound Transit should know the maintenance condition of their Skodas, the T-Line is the only service they directly operate. With the Inekon cars used in Seattle (pretty much a copy of the Skoda by another Czech manufacturer), they also were piggybacked on a Portland order, so the traction motors operate on 750V DC, as Portland Streetcar is operated by TriMet on behalf of the City of Portland. Seattle Streetcar is operated by Metro, and perhaps Metro should have flexed a little muscle on the First Hill line. The line follows Jackson St from First Ave to Boren, the corridor trolley bus routes 7, 14, and 36, If all three had been streetcar routes(like they once were), replacing them would require about 33 to 36 vehicles, Metro could have insisted on 600V DC, avoiding voltage conflicts. (Happened with the SLU line as Rt70 crossed it on Virginia) Rt7 is probably most easy to convert, as I don’t know what the condition of the 12th Ave Bridge is for the 36, and the 14 while having the same routing as the Seattle Municipal Railway Rt14 streetcar, Metro has added a loop down McClellan to serve Mount Baker Station. Even if the 7 was converted to a streetcar as a high capacity feeder for LINK, still would have the Upper Rainier Beach loop of the 7 to deal with, but a use of the XT40/XT60s off wire capability would come in handy, when the 1 Line opened, the 39 bus(now the 50) was rerouted to serve Othello Station, leaving a gap between Othello and the 39’s old terminus at Rainier Beach. Have the 36 operate in battery mode on that stretch.

@ 61
The comparison to the number of “emergency applications” by previous administrations, both Dem and repuke is quite telling.
The comparison to prior judicial overreach frequency is just as telling. If DJT47 took the traditional route to appeal it would not be able to govern. The emergency docket hastens resolution of one silly judge’s order after another, and lets the duly elected government do what it was elected to do.
Want fewer emergency docket cases? Tell the “Resist!” judges to stop making fools of themselves.
@69
Full throated Fascism.
Should skin color be ‘probable cause’
‘Resist’ Judge – of course not. Equal protection clause, etc.
Emergency Docket, actually yeah it’s fine. It will only burden SOME people so it’s equal.
@69 If DJT47 took the traditional route to appeal it would not be able to govern.
You mean dictate, not govern. He can govern constitutionally. That’s the whole purpose of checks and balances. Our system was never intended to be one-man government.
