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.

    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?

    And Kavanaugh.

    And Coney Barrett.

    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.

    Desperately Doing Damage Control.

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) called a New York Times reporter from Berlin in an effort to clean up coverage of her Munich Security Conference speech after a series of foreign-policy missteps drew scrutiny, including a stumbling answer on Taiwan.

    In the interview, published Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez tried to shift attention away from her meandering answers, arguing that speculation about a presidential run eclipsed the substance of her remarks. “This reporter came up to me and was like, ‘Is Munich the new New Hampshire?'” she told the Times, dismissing the focus on 2028 chatter. She said viral clips of “any five-to-10-second thing” were meant to “distract from the substance of what I am saying.”

    The substance of what she was saying is that she doesn’t know what the fuck she is talking about.

    But boy, did she ever look cute. Cute as a fawn in the headlights.

    Minneapolis, Minnesota

    3h
    Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17.

    A fence was charred, but the memorial site at 34th Street and Portland Avenue wasn’t burned down. Several items in the memorial were damaged by the fire, but no one was injured, Minneapolis police said.

    Photojournalist Ryan Vizzions, 43, smelled gasoline from inside his van, which was parked near the memorial site. Vizzions jumped out of the van after seeing the flames. Neighbors who lived in the apartment building in front of Good’s memorial used two fire extinguishers to put out the flames, he said. The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating the incident.

    Tiny fire that torched a couple of fence boards and took only $30 of Home Depot fire extinguishers to put out, but a guy who just happened to be there just happened to small all of that gasoline from inside his truck. At night. During winter.

    Think about it.

    Before the GOP took the dark path into backing pedophile sex pests and fascists they had a pretty amazing track record. At least in terms of backing the things the lying troll claims to care about.

    They had Democrats running scared. They had Democrats so beat down that the first Democrat elected to the White House since Reagan slashed welfare and Medicaid, balanced the budget, and cut taxes. Even though the federal min wage has only barely budged in the last twenty years so that the the min wage in 2007 is higher when adjusted for inflation than the min wage today. And despite the American health insurance scam ruining worker productivity, they got Democrats to adopt a Republican plan for health care funding reform. For fucks sake, they got Bill Clinton to oppose gay marriage while Will and Grace was the highest rated sitcom on TV when TV still meant something.

    But birth control and abortion was legal and it killed them. Plus black people were using the toilets in the White House residence.

    It drove them mad.

    Now, despite having control over all three brances of the federal government, and despite normalizing the complete disregard of the federal judiciary and the Constitution, they are actually losing ground in a host of key areas.

    Obviously the federal budget is gone for them. I’ll say no more. It doesn’t bear explanation. Republicans will destroy the Treasury if they can.

    States are now racing ahead on worker protections and minimum wage laws. Congress barely cares. The federal mimimun wage only seems to matter in Idaho and Mississippi. And in a modern, post industrial economy geography is self-correcting. Tate Reeves will be the King of Shit Mountain. And nobody wants to challenge him for the crown.

    Again, Mississippi and Arkansas may adopt “fetal hearbeat” laws while the surrounding states are buying shipping containers of Mifeprestone and dispensing it on demand.
    And now Washington and a few other states are moving forward with Universal Healthcare.

    I could go on. And look, I’m not saying that MAGA running the federal government isn’t fucked. It absolutely is. But the more MAGA Republicans tell America who they really are, the more Americans take matter into their own hands. And the more Americans turn away from the racist Bible-Thumping extremism that is the real base of the GOP. By the time MAGA runs out of gas most of America will be ready for a real change of direction. And that change will be one the old guard “conservative” Republicans would despise.

    Our property was replanted with conifers a couple of years before we bought it. They’re now so thick that we’ll be felling a couple of hundred of them over the next two years so that they don’t crowd each other out. The wood will be hand-split and given to local charities, although I’m told that so much free wood is given out nowadays that some of it isn’t needed. Split, seasoned fir for free, delivered, is being turned down by the needy.

    I’m told that one of the reasons is that heat pump installations are heavily subsidized and are further paid for by charities for low-income residents, so fewer and fewer needy homes are burning wood for heat these days.

    Meaning we’ll probably end up doing large burns on our property when we can’t get rid of the firewood.

    Which will produce more CO2. Which will further tree growth.

    What a counterintuitive twist in the climate story.

    The Sahara Desert of all places has shrunk by about 8% since the 1980s thanks to rising CO₂ levels fueling a remarkable global green renaissance.

    Data from NASA’s AVHRR and MODIS instruments show that 25% to 50% of Earth’s vegetated lands have become significantly greener, an area equivalent to roughly twice the continental United States.

    CO₂ fertilization drove around 70% of this boom, making plants more efficient with water by reducing the time stomata (leaf pores) stay open, which in turn cuts water loss and boosts drought resistance.

    This has allowed vegetation to reclaim arid edges in places like the Sahel (the Sahara’s southern fringe), the Middle East and Australia’s outback. The Sahara alone had lost around 8% of its desert, equivalent to over 700,000 km² of added green cover and pushing back the barren sand wastes in formerly inhospitable zones.

    Atmospheric CO₂ now hovers around 430 ppm (early 2026 levels) enabling plants to thrive where they once couldn’t. While climate change brings serious challenges, this greening shows a clear, measurable benefit from higher CO₂: and a greener, more resilient planet in many dry regions.

    “I didn’t run for governor like, man, I can’t wait so me and the president can go toe to toe. But the fact that he is waking up in the middle of the night and tweeting about me, I just, I pray for him and I just feel bad for him because that has just got to be a really, really hard existence.”

    So many career criminal prosecutors have quit the United States Attorneys Office for the District of Minnesota that the office is now filing dismissals for career drug traffickers who victimize pregnant women.

    But at least Minnesota racists can feel safe knowing that Renee Good won’t be around to mock their tiny micro-penises.

    “ tiny micro-penises”

    Yes, we’re all sure you have very intimate, first-hand, knowledge of those.

    14,
    I’ve always been a great fan of lesbians mocking your micro-penises. It’s so much layered irony.

    Speaking of Republican micro-penises, Fat Hitler’s tariffs are cancelled by the Supreme Court.

    The utter failure is complete. The ketchup is flying truths will be socialed.

    The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration, and scope,” Roberts wrote for the court. “In light of the breadth, history, and constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it.”

    Fat Hitler has promised he would be giving $12 billion in collected tariff money to struggling US farmers who saw their overseas markets wiped out.

    Anyone wanna bet?

    @ 118

    Since we’re betting, once that collected $200-600B (estimates vary) is refunded to the corporations that paid it, wanna bet that the money stays in the corporations and that the US taxpayer/consumer benefits not at all?

    ’cause I am OK with another wealth transfer from those on the other side of the wealth gap to my side of it.

    Essentially, Fat Hitler got away with unilaterally imposing a $12 billion dollar tax hike on consumers. And now the collected proceeds of that tax hike will be paid out to giant retail and wholesale import companies.

    The lying troll lives in a blue tarp trailer in soggy woods on an island in the middle of nowhere.

    Wants you to believe he’s a global importer.

    Sure, bigot.

    Noted that express originalist absolutist Clarence ‘RV Vacation’ Thomas sides against

    The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

    It’s always been ‘The document means whatever I want it to mean.”

    As usual, J Thomas shows us his whole ass by penning one of the dumbest possible dissents, not even caring if the basic facts are correct. He argues that the non-delegation doctrine, as conceived by the framers, doesn’t apply to powers formerly exercised by the crown.
    (Hot tip: at the time of the founding, the English monarch had no independent authority to place tariffs or raise taxes of any kind without parliamentary consent. That presumed power ended in 1649 with the execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England).

    119,
    Whether he intended to or not, at least the lying troll displays a brief flash of honesty here by admitting that this court serves those who created it, not Fat Hitler.

    Koch and Leonard Leo built this court to do the bidding of billionaires and steadily reduce democratic powers over the long term. They played Fat Hitler by giving him the illusion that he could be king.
