Good morning.

  • How has it taken so long to fix the English speaker with a Spanish accent problem? Ridiculous.
  • The Urbanist article about Seattle libraries and homeless people is at least disputed by the library system.
  • TB making a comeback in the States.
  • Legislators probably shouldn’t drink on the job.
  • Pedestrianize The Ave.
  • Today is a good day to contact your legislator.

  1. Release the files spews:

    Release ALL of the Epstein files and prosecute those who can be prosecuted.

    As for the rest, shame them into submission.

    1,
    Can’t.

    Republicans control the DOJ and Congress and they are intent upon a coverup to protect Fat Hitler.

    Elections have consequences.

    Trump’s tariff fetish, other than setting up a huge cash transfer from consumers to billionaires, has acheived an almost perfect storm of disadvantage for American producers and manufacturers.

    All the carefully built and negotiated trade agreements over the last two decades, that opened up foreign markets and knocked down barriers to trade in U.S. produced goods are now blasted to smithereens. With tariffs gone foreign producers now enjoy unrestricted access to U.S. markets. While U.S. producers face restricted access to overseas markets.

    All thanks to electing Republicans.
    We could have done much better than this.

    Yeah. Especially the under-18 bitches, right?

    All thanks to electing Republicans.
    We could have done much better than this.

    2016 – #CrookedHillary
    2020 – Joe Biden, who was already showing signs of advanced cognitive decline. Because black voters refused to support a homosexual.
    2024 – Boxcheck Momala

    No one worked harder to elect Republicans than the DNC did. Especially in 2023-24.

  6. Release the files spews:

    Friday, 2/27/26 at 12:06 pm

    @2 – I think the Republican advantage will end after the November election. I want ALL the files released so we can see just how corrupt and evil these politicians and wealthy elite pedophiles truly are.

    If Trump is implicated in wrongdoing, then so be it. Let’s see what happened and proceed accordingly with prosecutions and shaming.

    You ain’t gonna find out jack-shit about Trump or any of the other pedos in Epstein’s realm. If you think you’re ever going to see what really went on during that period of time, you’re living in an alternative reality.

    @4 The dumbfuck troll either doesn’t know the English language contains the words “women” and “girls,” or he feels a compulsion to label all female victims “bitches.”

    Personally, I think he’s a misogynist woman hater, and that’s how he ended up sleeping in a barn and fucking a horse.

    Today Fat Hitler floated a “friendly takeover” of Cuba while maintaining an oil blockage of the island which under international law is an act of war.

    January core PPI came in at +0.8% versus +0.3% expected. The impact was immediate:

    Stocks dropped on Friday after the latest producer price index data came in much hotter than expected, adding sticky inflation to a list of concerns that has caused market turbulence this month.

    Folks the db is back.

    I’m not happy with the number of comments:

    ha(prod)> Comment.count
    => 843851

    I think something is still a bit off with the import but I have a plan to remedy that with daily random hits on the website. 28 in total, 14 days from the most recent post to update comments added and/or import missing posts/comments and 14 days at random from posts 15 days and older to find missing comments. I’m confident I’ve got all the Post records. As it is I imported data from archive.org which is allowed, within their policy, as long as one does it properly otherwise you’re rate limited or banned.

    Long story short. The db will improve with time.

    Why have I done this?

    Strictly entertainment. Just in time for November!

    Again, I think that’s low. Also it’s just the “Roger Rabbit” handle. Rog had other handles. I’ll get to them eventually. It will improve over time.

    But drumroll… heeeereeee’s KREEPSHIT…

    Clearly, the troll has nothing better to do than sit on his ass and post on HA, just like me. We’re two of the most useless creatures on this planet, given that neither of us does anything productive, yet we’re both rich, which should tell you something’s wrong with an economic system where owners are rewarded vastly more than workers.

    6,
    Come January of 2027 Fat Hitler will still be running the DOJ.
    And there will not be 67 votes in the Senate to impeach.

    Wake up.

    The only fixes are long term. And they require a widespread commitment to terminate the Republican Party at every level.

    Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible???

    Sorry no. The word supreme should tip you off. Your Tariffs are dead as Jacob Marley.

    The full Twat makes clear that even now he hasn’t the dimmest concept of what a tariff is and who pays it.

    The recent Decision of the United States Supreme Court concerning TARIFFS could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been “ripping off” the United States of America for many years to come, and now, according to this Decision, could actually continue to do so, at an even increased level. I am sure that the Supreme Court did not have this in mind! It doesn’t make sense that Countries and Companies that took advantage of us for decades, receiving Billions and Billions of Dollars that they should not have been allowed to receive, would now be entitled to an undeserved “windfall,” the likes of which the World has never seen before, as a result of this highly disappointing, to say the least, ruling. Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible??? PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

    The all too funee “May December” revelation will come tomorrow.

    So in the meantime, there’s the liddle matter of the “miracle on ice”:

    40-year anniversary on Saturday.

    ‘Miracle on Ice’ 40 years later

    I watched the game with dorm-mates my freshman year. My drink then was Seagram’s, peppermint schnapps, and 7-Up. My beer was wide-mouth Mickey’s.

    The MOI was 2/22/80. So the poor incel entered the academy the previous Sept in ’79..

    And voted for Carter, Nov 1980.

    I actually voted for Jimmy Carter in my first presidential election. I was 18, had just signed up at the post office with the Selective Service that summer, and my liberal parents convinced me that Ronnie Raygun was going to get me sent off to fight the Soviets and get me killed.

    But then it joined a frat:

    I was forced to strip nude, eat peanuts off the floor of the senior hall bathroom, and then drink Billy Beer from the toilet.

    A cautionary tale that haunts me still.

    Whether a sock puppet posted that or not, prolly not far from the truth. Hell week made it teh kreepee dumbfuck it is today. Why? To get “20 minutes of action” one day. No?

    Btw, added “Serial ConservativeKlownservaturd” to the list of handles. Hey there’s yet another great tag!

    Ya know.. Underage drinking is kinda illegal.. kreepfuck turned 18 in December of ’79 but…

    Some states allowed purchase and consumption of both beer and spirits in 1979 and 80:

    States Allowing All Alcohol (Liquor, Wine, and Beer) at 18

    These states maintained a universal minimum age of 18 for all types of alcoholic beverages throughout 1980:

    Connecticut

    Georgia (Though the age was raised to 19 shortly after, in late 1980)

    Hawaii

    Louisiana

    New Jersey

    New York

    Rhode Island (Raised to 19 in July 1980)

    Texas

    Vermont

    West Virginia

    Wisconsin

    But then there was the matter of “blood borders” – incels crossing state lines for brewski and booze.

    An incel cannot be separated for long from strong drink and getting blotto.

    Did that change with joining a bonzo buttlicking frat? heh.. Fuck no. “Liquid courage” highly needed for successful attainment of “20 minutes of action”.

    SCORE!
