Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 2/18/26, 8:26 am

What a lovely, crisp morning.

  • Is it bad that the Hanford Advisory Board is in shambles? It seems bad.
  • Age verification on the Internet seems like more an excuse for surveillance than protecting children.
  • Tax the wealthy.
  • Contact your legislator.

    Team Obama had weaponized the federal government for use against the GOP and its bitter clingers, only to be forced to hand it over to DJT45.

    BREAKING: President Obama and his National Security Adviser Susan Rice were so distraught after Trump won in 2016 they literally broke down and cried in front of White House staff, according to 1,100 hours of new audio and video compiled by Columbia University in cooperation with the Obama Foundation. After all they’d built, they feared their accomplishments were “at risk” of being torn down by a “con man” and a “clown.” Ergo, Trump had to be stopped?

    They cried for

    Gorsuch.

    And Kavanaugh.

    And Coney Barrett.

    Because they knew.

    Taxing goods entering the country lowers prices and raises wages, and if you don’t agree, you should be taken to the woodshed!!

    Sure looks like the flailing loser president is getting set to wag the dog.

    Sources told Axios … a U.S. military campaign against Iran would likely be massive, last weeks and look more like a full-fledged war than the raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January.

    Republicans are willing to spend a trillion dollars on another GOP recreational war, but won’t spend a dime on ACA subsidies, even for their own supporters.

    It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why they’re trying to pass a voter suppression bill and want to send goons to polling places.

    Team Obama had weaponized the federal government for use against the GOP

    Like the hundreds of FBI “agitators” Obama sent to infiltrate the J6 terrorist mob.

    When Trump was President and ran the FBI.

    Let us never forget what I explained patiently and repeatedly throughtout the first MAGA Extremist term: every bad thing that happened to Republicans from 2017 through Jan 20th of 2021 was an #OWNGOAL!!!!!

    That’s why I gave it its own hashtag, to help make it more memorable. Like most Republicans, the lying troll makes an art out of forgetting. But we do not.

    They fuck themselves.
    Then they blame “libbies”.
    Unbidden, Trump announced to a busload of complete strangers that he had gotten away with sexual assault for years because he was “a star”.
    Trump hired the corrupt and compromised Paul Manafort to run his campaign, despite having been warned about Manafort’s mounting debts to Russian oligarchs.
    Trump hired the mentally unstable and profoundly corrupt Mike Flynn against all advice. Then Trump fired him for lying.
    Trump ordered his own AG to appoint Robert Mueller.
    Trump fired Comey for refusing to exonerate him or his campaign (Manafort, Flynn, and others) for their involvement in Russian campaign interference.
    Trump ignored all the best medical and scientific advice about the pandemic and insisted (like the lying troll) that it was no worse than influenza and would go away in a few weeks.
    Ignoring all advice, Trump put his own failed son-in-law and his frat brothers in charge of procuring supplies to protect the public and the supply chains collapsed.
    Trump refused to express any sympathy for the hundreds of thousands who were dying from the pandemic.
    Despite all evidence, and literally hundreds of court cases ruling otherwise, Trump insisted that the 2020 election was stolen and launched a movement backed by that Big Lie.
    Trump summoned the deadly mob to the Capitol and sent them to attack the Congress.

    The list is far from complete and will undoubtedly go on for as long as Trump lives and controls the destiny of the GOP.

    They fuck themselves. It’s what they do.

    Are y’all familiar with Kirkland Karen?

    Actually she’s Sasha from Redmond who’s trying to BrAndy NgCho herself to fame. First she drove from Redmond to Issaquah, picked a fight with teenagers walking out of Issaquah High to protest ICE and then went crying to police who had watched the whole scene and said, “Get the fuck out of here with you wanting us to arrest kids. You’re the adult.”

    So then she goes to the next Issaquah school board meeting and gets coached on how to make a public comment without living in the district (audible) and DEMANDS ISD lock up the kids during the school day and close the campus and talks of her harrowing experience. MY GOD THESE KIDS WERE TAKING AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE. straight to jail!

    Finally on Friday she showed up in Enumclaw ‘just walking around’ and live streaming the kid’s protest there. Because who among us hasn’t decided to go visit Enumclaw from Redmond on a whim on a Friday. (Neigh).

    This time she found a more friendly reception as Enumclaw police detained two (possibly three) students who reacted to this cunt starting a fight. Students were released to their parents and charges may be pending but…you know the kids. They have video and there’s no prosecutable case when a forty year old starts verbally threatening juveniles and making contact against several of them.

    Now she’s all in a wad about getting doxed despite:

    Live streaming

    Editing and putting on FB, The Gram and TikTok using a profile with her legal name.

    Giving her name and city at a public hearing

    To sum up, grown ass adult goes up against chronically online Gen Z and finds out.

    (Whitepages.com and truepeoplesearch.com list the same email used on her meta accounts. She should probably change that cell number now too. Put it on the Underhill’s credit card. It’s all a match to a woman of the right approximate age with her name in Redmond. And if I revealed it it would be Doxing but as of when she took her accounts private there’s a reel on Instagram of her leaving her house where the number is visible AND a few seconds later a street sign. Y’all need to stop doing that. Not that it doesn’t match what’s on the public records lookup sites.)

    The genius of the right wing. This is now confined to the true whackjobs on the Twatter and tiktok but it’s only a matter of time.

    Story, Epstein was working with California Cryobank to preserve his sperm. There are records in the files. In the contract, in the event of death the samples go to the estate. California Cryobank which has some sordid history of using one donor to create a sibling pod of over 80 kids leading to at least one case of dating among half siblings AND one of their clinicians substituting his own ‘donation’ for the couple’s chosen sample is not commenting on if they still have JeffSperm or not.

    The above paragraph is true and verifiable.

    What the nutty right is claiming is Epstein wanted his sperm to be used to manufacture the Covid Vaccine and may have been part of the formula.

    Never mind that that’s not how the vaccine was developed and Don’s good friend Jeff died about three months before the first cases of a ‘likely unknown pneumonia-like virus in a cluster of patients’ there’s probably no containing this new JeffLab Leak.

    @7 Are you referring to this chick?

    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1389579922966528

    Just curious, because this one seems to be a MAGA activist who claims to have (1) left the south to live “somewhere less conservative” and (2) left the Democratic Party because it’s “radically woke.”

    This lady seems confused, to say the least.
