Guys. Are we at war? You know, it feels like we’re at war. Are we stealing Venezuelan oil? The President seems to think so, but maybe not. Anyway, Patty Murray seems — correctly in my opinion — outraged. Both by the act itself and by not consulting Congress. Maria Cantwell is issuing wishy washy nothing.
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!
Maria Cantwell is a wishy-washy nothing.
The Swiss fall in line behind DJT47’s New World Order.
A reminder:
And she laughed when she said it.
It’s instructive to consider that Maduro is still alive.
Anybody wonder why there are reports that Iran’s ayatollah is about to visit Moscow with a whole bunch of suitcases?
Now the troll can return to hating Ilhan Omar full time.
Dream about Americans that can’t make rent or pay their electricity bill will drive further to buy fewer, more expensive food and sundries.
And try even harder to forget it voted for a child rapist.
@ 5
Now the troll can return to hating Ilhan Omar full time.
I’ve always been able to multitask.
32 Cuban security personnel killed during the Maduro raid. Lotta Venezuelan oil money went to prop up Cuba.
I’ve always been able to multitask…
Naaaah.. Your idol, the orange child rapist, liked your narrative of a Walz who commanded Boelter to assassinate Dems.
You magats get huge dopamine fixes from klownspiracy and fixate.
A too obvious sign of moldering dotardness. yawwwn.
that Maduro is still alive
For now. Remember what happened to Epstein? Ever wonder why?
@ Remember what happened to Epstein? Ever wonder why?
I think Epstein was hit by shrapnel deflected off of Charlie Kirk’s chest armor plate. Wasn’t that your theory at the time, YLB?
That’s right.
He dropped out because of the credible death threats directed at his vulnerable disabled son from Trump supporters.
Nick Shirley’s finest accomplishment to people who can credibly call themselves human beings is making an orange child rapist fall asleep while Shirley droned and babbled about antifa.
I think Epstein was hit by shrapnel deflected off of Charlie Kirk’s chest armor plate.
Heh.. More copium to add to forgetting about voting for a child rapist.
He posts this shit using another sock puppet because he doesn’t want to be forced to feast on the inevitable TACO.
@ 13
… the inevitable TACO.
Except when he bombed Iran’s nuke sites.
Except when he accepted Maduro’s challenge to come and get him.
“Inevitable” and “always” do not mean what you apparently believe they mean.
Cry more.
Except when he bombed Iran’s nuke sites.
Even Israeli newspapers say it set Iran back 3 years tops.
Israel wants boots on the ground for regime change. If pants shitter wants that for Venezuela why not Iran?
Both Venezuela and Iran are part of Israel’s agenda.
OH but we’re gonna hear about the weather again!

The Epstein list should be immediately released with no redactions. Let’s go after the high and mighty and hurt them.
When none of the oil pumps he’ll just turn to another sock puppet to deflect.
Speaking of which, you’d think that anyone who “cares about children” would want the files released.
Unless…
Currently there is no U.S. military operation going on in Venezuela.
Maduro’s allies, the Chavists remain in charge and running the government and the military.
If any government in the position of the United States had any credible plans for asserting even limited control over Venezuela they would be using the immediate opportunity created by the toppling of a dictator to seize control over airfields, ports, and infrastructure. It’s been 48 hours. There is nothing.
There was no plan beyond grabbing the Maduros. And there will be no outcome beyond that. The Venezuelan military will now be on very high alert in all locations. All the critical airfields will be reinforced with air defense systems. The ports will be mined. The government operations will be ringed with tactical heavy arms and troops.
The U.S. military will not be willing to escalate any further at this point without basically starting over from scratch. If the intention of the civilian “leadership” had been to do anything more than snatch Maduro it would have been made very clear to them well in advance that it is all or nothing.
Brave Trump settled for nothing. Nothing more than the most expensive felony warrant execution in all human history. No oil. No gold. No souvenir maracas. ¡Olé!
All to distract from the files.
I wonder why? /s
The American Dream will set a “trad” male back over 5 million.

A dude with a Bachelor’s might clear 2.8 million over a career.
No room there for a trad wifey.
And our dumbfuck troll obviously believes repukes if followed blindly can deliver this. Especially its beloved orange child rapist.
All ya gotta do is be “willing to work”, overtime “tax free” (yeah right) i.e. maybe you see your two kids on the weekends. (rolls eyes)
Brave Trump settled for nothing. Nothing more than the most expensive felony warrant execution in all human history. No oil. No gold. No souvenir maracas. ¡Olé!
If Venezuela still wants to send oil to China, it will be pirated.
i.e. “rape” Venezuela to fill the SPR. heh.

Even Israeli newspapers say it set Iran back 3 years tops.
Which reminds me that on HA you libbies were saying it would only set Iran back a few months. Well, it’s been several months.
Meanwhile, the Ayatollah is busy scouting the best Russian beaches to hang out instead of getting The Qaddafi later this month.
A three-year setback and regime change from within? We’ll take it.
@ 34
i.e. “rape” Venezuela to fill the SPR. heh.
Joe Biden emptied the SPR so he would have the monetary cover to economically rape your children, YLB.
He was stopped, first by SCOTUS and by a plain reading of the US Constitution, and then by his own debate performance.
@1 Which is, oh, about a thousand times what you are.
Whiskey Pete calling Mark Kelly “seditious” is like a flea condemning a dog for scratching.
the Ayatollah is busy scouting the best Russian beaches to hang out instead of getting The Qaddafi later this month.
A devout Shia garbed modestly doesn’t go for that shit. Instead it walks in circles under a grape vine like bin Laden. The better to avoid Israeli drones or missiles or whatever, Mossad is highly resourceful. Old guy.. Should last as long as you do if he’s lucky. The kids won’t miss either one of you.

Enable Americans to “fill the tank” like you babbled kreepfuck. And blunt the 2022 “red wave” into a little splash if that.

I guess the street celebrations in Caracas were pretty short lived.
Junta crackdown is disappearing journalists and sending opposition party members to “soccer sleep-away camp”. Very, very long sleep.
The stock market likes oil imperialism.
@21 I stand corrected. This whole thing was merely extraterritorial execution of a U.S. arrest warrant on foreign soil without that country’s consent, and the dispossessed U.S. oil companies can go pound sand. So they didn’t get much for their campaign donations, but Trump pretty much welshes on everyone, and they knew that going in.
@3 It’s instructive to consider that Maduro is still alive.
That could turn out to be quite inconvenient. Another way of looking at it is Trump and Rubio are less competent than she was. By the way, how many U.S. airliners did Maduro blow out of the sky?
@6 32 Cuban security personnel killed during the Maduro raid.
Maybe that’ll give Putin an excuse to finish what Khrushchev started. Trump is no JFK.
If the ayatollahs are overthrown, Iranian protesters took all the risk and did all the heavy lifting, and Trump will take all the credit. That’s how things work around here now.
@36 Say, G-clown, did you see the new high reached by the Dow Jones Industrial Average today?
I sure did. My stocks gained enough today to pay for a new car or a kitchen remodel.
I paid $35.83 a share for my stock in Elbit Systems, an Israel-based manufacturer of military drones and defense electronics with a global customer base, including the Pentagon. ESLT was up $36.26 today, more than I paid for the stock, and now sits at $628.22.
My other holdings include Lockheed (up $14.50 today) and General Dynamics (up $12.16), both purchased in double digits.
Sure beats working for a living, and I get a lower tax rate than wage slaves, too. The fantasy that you get money in this country by working for it is over the top. Workers get less than peanuts; they get the peanut shells.
Can anyone explain to me why wages are rising at less than the inflation rate when S&P 500 profits are expanding at north of 14% a year?
@ 45
Can anyone explain to me why wages are rising at less than the inflation rate …
I’ll start by pointing out that wages are increasing faster than the rate of inflation:
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/realer.pdf
I’ll end by pointing out that you are a failed former attorney and are now a useless, bloviating fool.
There is no reason to respond to a question with an obviously false premise. There is every reason to point out how simple it was to prove the premise false.
Under Joe Biden and Boxcheck Momala we gave money to Ilhan Omar’s buddies, up front, because they said they enrolled kids in child care facilities.
We simply trusted them, rather than requiring that they furnish proof.
Tim Walz was fine with this arrangement, because Ilhan Omar’s buddies donated to Democrats, who in turn kept the gravy train rolling.
Was hoping she would, but didn’t expect it.

The New York Subway still has two man crews, and the Union wants it mandated out of fears of automation. The rhetoric is it will happen soon, but even if normal bureaucratic incompetence didn’t delay it, several things have to happen before conductors, let alone motormen disappear. First the CBTC upgrade that will allow for one man crews and eliminate the manned interlocking towers has to be completed, and on a system that never sleeps, that won’t happen until the 2050s. Then the trains have to be compatible, so the last conductor let alone motormen, haven’t been born yet.

Vancouver briefly operated the streamlined PCC Streetcar, one of the groups opposed to buying more? The Union, it was designed incorporating a few bus features, including one man operation. I’ve heard references to SF might have not converted a few more streetcar lines if the Union had not opposed OMO, there was a planned order for about 200 more that didn’t happen because of that.
@46 What a convenient way of wriggling out of defending corporate earnings rising 3X faster than wages. Obviously you don’t want to answer the question. Can’t say I blame you.
Another fucked up in the head chick with a dick in the news for violence, this time at the Ohio home of JD Vance and (this is for you, YLB) his Hindu wife:

It’s instructive to point out that Maduro and Qaddafi are apples to apples comparison. Nor is the circumstances apples to apples. And it’s instructive to point out that doing so be littles the current circumstances.
Laughable, just like Hillary laughed.
You’re preaching to the wrong crowd. You are impotent.
Going nowhere quick. Gains all based on speculation not reality. And based on the reality of war, partly. And should that become true, then
I’m sure those families with those big gains will be celebrating while the bury the dead. Enjoy..
Oh and you should go suck a real large manly cock that you desire instead of the horses.

We think too much alike. Either that or Dumbfuck is a transparent Dumbfuck.

“You are impotent.”
No, the stuff works quite well, thank you very much!
The billionaire blowjob bill is working.

Just as a mathematical exercise, I got out my financial calculator and figured out how much of monthly payment it would take to pay down the debt to zero. It would take a monthly payment of about $100 billion per month for two hundred years to pay off the national debt entirely. That’s assuming we don’t borrow more and more, which is an unrealistic assumption.
@50 It also has echoes of the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, which many of your ilk celebrated. I don’t hear any Democrats cheering this. Unlike your side, we think the rules of civilized society apply to everyone.
@51 Do you think we should remind him that Qaddafi was killed by his own people?
@54 Whether we think alike or not, he’s a transparent dumbfuck.
@57 Running the country like a Casino Business
That’s what happens when you put a failed casino operator in charge of it. At least the Treasury can do something the Trump Taj Mahal and his other casino properties couldn’t: print money and dump the debt on unborn generations.
@58 No, it doesn’t take $100 billion a month for 200 years to eliminate the debt. Anybody who knows anything about public finance realizes governments deal with debt by devaluing it through inflation, not by paying it down.
@50.
In October 2024, a man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for attacking Paul Pelosi, husband of the Democratic former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, with a hammer at their California home.
Donald Trump repeatedly mocked the attack and questioned the official narrative in subsequent interviews and rallies, asking, “How’s her husband doing?” to a laughing crowd.
Republicans are hypocrites at best.
Release the full trump Epstein files.
Join me in observing a day of silence to recognize the five year anniversary of the day when an armed Republican terrorist mob attacked the capitol to overturn an election they lost. I’ll instead spend today thinking about the family members of the police officers who were beaten to death by that mob.
@ 65
Happy J6!
The number of true swing voters sufficiently disgusted by San Fran Nan’s hand-picked “investigative” House J6 committee that they pulled the lever for Donald Trump has to be in the millions.
Hell, after watching my sis debase herself as part of that group of liars even em>I took a break from my carpet-munching to pull the lever for him.
Elijah @ 65, my head hurt before I came to work that day.
All those microhemorrhages found in my gastric mucosa during the autopsy? Those were from the aspirin I had been popping for days.
Please meet “violent mob” participants Jennifer and Esther.
Each one of them personally murdered a dozen Capitol police officers on J6, and that was before getting out of bed.
Too bad.
So sad.
If college admissions mean so much less now than they did a couple of decades ago,
professional school admissions must also mean much less now than they did a couple of decades ago.
Isn’t that right, YLB?
I wonder how the average accepted freshman at, say, Kentucky State University would do in this new remedial prep course.
Ana Navarro on The View:
What she said brought YLB to tears as well.
With the death this week of a GOP congressman, both parties are currently down two members in the House.
YLB has been very upset about fraud linked to PPP payments.
YLB, therefore, must be relieved to see that a second Georgia legislative Democrat has been indicted for fraud related to PPP claims and payments:
Well, not the entire Democrat party. But painting the entire party for the sins of a few dozen is what Elijah likes to do when he’s referring to the GOP.
we see him in handcuffs and held to some sort of accountability, it brought me to tears,” Navarro said on Monday’s show. “It brought me great joy.”
As much joy as pants shitter babbling Machado has no respect in her own country.
As if Maduro held a “free and fair” election July 2024.
Just hand over the prize Maria and orange pants shitter might babble differently.
So, pretty effective YouTube video that dude posted, amirite?

Well, I suppose this Sunday action explains Walz’ Monday capitulation.
YLB, this is good news for you, because the feds will also be looking for evidence of the PPP fraud you are so concerned about, so keep your fingers crossed that the federal government will be able to claw back some of your kids’ tax dollars.

Hopefully Bondi and Noem, too.
It’s unlikely any of them would be ousted by the Senate, as it’s highly likely enough Republicans will continue to protect him (and them), but a House impeachment for abuses of power, contempts of court, lying to courts and congressional committees, the Epstein coverup, ad nauseum, is an important symbolic gesture for history.

The snark is spot on in this sequence from reddit.
1) ‘Dictator’ Trump Floats Idea of Canceling Midterm Elections
2) Every single time.
Say a terrible thing, then walk it back.
Wait a while, then say it again, but worse, and walk it back only part way.
Wait a little longer, then say it a third time, but so much worse, then walk it back only to the original terrible thing, which no longer seems anything like as bad, by comparison.
Then do that thing.
3) All the while the media somehow tries to spin it in his favor.
4) We’ll see a story out of the NY Times in a few weeks with the headline “What it Would Take to Cancel the 2026 Midterms”
5) Followed shortly by an Ezra Klein podcast that inexplicably lasts 90+ minutes titled:
How Democrats Can Benefit from Cancelling the Election
Alongside news articles that say “Dems allow Trump to cancel mid-term elections”.
We see a CBS News special: why the midterms need to be canceled.
“How Biden and Obama encouraged the cancelling of the mid-terms in fear of losing to Our Dear Leader Trump”
6) Jake Tapper releasing a new book about how Biden’s mental decline led to Trump canceling elections
7) The elections were cancelled but the Democrats face accusations of using divisive language and Schumer explaining how allowing it was actually a masterful gambit that he used to get important concessions like trump not executing democratic politicians
It’s welfare for the MAGA political movement, you stupid cunt.
Big oil isn’t going to invest hundreds of billions over decades in Venezuela without financial and military guarantees. And those guarantees need to extend well beyond January of 2029. Their only way to secure those guarantees is to reach a long term agreement to exclusively support the GOP and keep them in power.
Enjoy counting your money while Stephen Miller begins rounding up Jews.
