Other than opening day, I still have not taken the 2 Line on the Eastside. But, now it’s connected. You can catch a train in Downtown Seattle and get North, South, and East out of the city without transferring. New stations opening. Less car dependence for everyone.
The future looks pretty great for the region. For connectivity. For ditching the stress of driving. It has come a long way since I was a suburban kid who had to take a winding bus to get Downtown. I can only imagine what 10, 20, 30 years hence looks like if we have the political will to keep up the momentum.

Not content to let the shit economy, the war in Iraq, soybean farmers going broke AND a pedophile leading the party define the 2026 election, Missouri GrandOldPedophiles are making a run at overturning the legalization of abortion that was passed by voters in 2024 with another ballot measure.
In 2024 Yes on abortion got 600K more votes statewide than Kamala Harris.
I have big missile for my dear friend Donald Trump. He wrote me a love letter you know.

American laives are next.
They will cheat and lie – it’s the Repuke way.
Fear politics and cheating is their only hope. Do they seem worried? Not at all, they plan to cheat and lie… like the fucking POS Troll here.
Trump will be removed from office in a little over a year. The Republicans will have a bit less than 2 years to attempt to rebuild their image with potential Republican voters, but it’s a very long shot for them to be successful.
Trump did it to them by being the Zionists’ lackey.
President Angry Grandpa was pimping the DOW again this morning, claiming that he’s about to TACO in Iran to get a 400 point bounce by noon EST today. By close the bounce was gone and the index was back into
negativecorrection territory.Go back and see who bought long calls before the opening. It’ll be the family.
Crude is now more than halfway towards the $200 apocalypse price where gas heads to $10 per gallon triggering an economic meltdown.

Crude is now more than halfway towards the $200 apocalypse price where gas heads to $10 per gallon triggering an economic meltdown.
Crude was $16 higher than this in early June, 2022. That’s more than60% of the way toward the “$200 apocalypse price”. At that time you seemed unconcerned. Of course, saying scary things about what would happen to the economy would have hurt Democrats in November that year.
Trump sues everyone for almost any reason or no reason.
Have you noticed that he still hasn’t sued anyone for calling him a pedophile or saying specifically that he raped kids?
And he’s still hiding the Epstein Files.

Yes, release ALL of the Epstein files!
So the lying troll’s working thesis is that early spring of 2026 is percisely the same as early summer of 2022.
2022: Following a year and a half of global production interruption caused by the pandemic, the introduction of highly effective vaccine caused a sudden restoration of demand coinciding with historically low stockpiles. Then Putler invaded Ukraine. Price shock was short lived because plenty of work arounds exist for Ukraine energy trans-shipment and production quickly resumed due to aforementioned highly effective vaccines.
Science! MAGA hates this one trick!
2026: President Angry Grandpa works for the Likud party and Miriam Addelson and follows orders. Strait of Hormuz is sealed shut with no reopening in sight, interrupting about 20% of total global liquid petroleum production from reaching markets for a completely undetermined, indefinite, and likely to be long term future.

@1 Don’t you understand
Republicansthe American Taliban are on a Mission From God™? Voters don’t matter where imposing religious doctrine on others is concerned. As the Afghan Taliban would say, “Democracy isn’t part of our system.”As a capitalist sitting in front of a computer screen flipping stocks, I don’t even notice the price of gas. If I need to go somewhere, I can hop. I do feel sorry for anyone who still thinks commuting to a wage-paying job with $6 or $10 or whatever gas is how to make a living in this country.
14,
Apparently their “God” approves of incinerating a couple of hundred little girls (of the incorrect “faith” of course) when it is adjacent to an otherwise “Holy Crusade”.
The holy men of the 4th Crusade saw it that way as well. As we all (ought to) know, that ended in the Latin Xtian crusaders running out of gas in Anatolia and then exterminating mostly Byzantine Orthodox Xtians and obliterating Constantinople. And that in turn cleared the way for the rise of the Muslim Sultinate and Ottoman Empire.
Dipshits like Whiskey Pete with crusader cross tattoos can’t read. So they wind up duped by the Hollywood lies about the crusades.
Wait, so when we seize a boatload of venezuelan oil and sell it we make a ton of money but when Russia delivered purchased oil there was no money involved.
Sure. Makes perfect sense Grandpa. Quick, someone take his ATM card before he pays that African Prince and picks up a weird trick the doctors don’t want you to know for a few million.
The command at the U.S. Army’s Fort Campbell has concluded that MAGA won’t be running the House or Senate next year:

7)Sometimes I wonder if a system that allows a No Confidence vote would work here, but it would have to have safeguards to prevent abuse. Amazon algorithm sent me to a book called Parliamentary America, and figured since I was already ok with the author on his proposed amendment to fix the House (Double it, but keep. the 435 single seat districts, but the other 435 be top up seats based on proportional representation like Germany’s MMP, but no overhangs. Would probably be a good workaround to gerrymandering. The author sold it as a bribe to get it over the Constitutional hurdle, plus a practical one if ratified, especially mid decade. No need for redraw. The threshold would be set by the Senate, originally at 5%, but adjusted to avoid too many parties) The other two involved a no confidence procedure for the President, requiring 60% of the House, and it would only be for Maladministration. It would be linked to replacing the Electoral College with the House electing the President, and for No Confidence, one of the original coalition parties I can only see the House Amendment passing, and that is a longshot. Before reading it, was already for if the US went proportional, a states choice because of small states, of which system to use. Loved MMP, but was thinking of it only in the 435 House. Way it would work under the proposed system, small states with currently one seat, except Vermont, probably just go to the other of the two parties. Vermont, could see the second seat go to either a Republican or Progressive (state based third party).
Not every new submarine gets the survivor of the US Navy’s Original Six at its commissioning, but USS Massachusetts had USS Constitution at hers. Constitution may not just be the Navy’s oldest, but until this conflict, the last ship in service to sink an enemy vessel. Second oldest ship in commission has its distinction for diplomatic reasons.

President Angry Grandpa announced today that reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is not tied to TACOing the Holy Sport War he started with Iran. Iran can have it.
Same day, same time, Iran’s parliament passed a new law extending formal control over the Strait and setting up a fee system (to be paid in Iranian Rials) for transiting the channel.
This is like if the same day Nixon finally withdrew from South Vietnam, the North Vietnamese seized control of the Mississippi River.
Under Iran’s new Hormuz agreement signed off on by President Angry Grandpa, the U.S. and Israel will be banned from using the Strait.
“We don’t need it.”
That’s some good shit that you are smoking.

Captain Edward Smith had all sorts of “interesting” theories about the ice berg.
Israel, a country that didn’t have a death penalty, just enacted one, but it effectively only applies to Palestinians.

Arab states encouraging the US to continue attacking Iran until Iran is “minimized”.
The Fascist US Administration is asking all US embassies to go after “Propaganda”, censoring of the world’s negative news on the US atrocities an Drumpf’s actions,
Not a good combination.
Eventually hiding the atrocities that occurs here in this county.

Willie Horton’sDaniel Tocci’s. Attorneys are still appealing the conviction be tossed in his child pornography case because the over 100k images on his computer were only discovered as a result of his Jan 6th arrestWhich Trump Pardoned.
In addition to the massive amounts of child porn FBI found video of a live kitten being killed by being put in a blender, dogs being beaten to death, Beastiality and what is believed to be an actual murder by an unknown male shooting a female in the head at close range.
Tocci has been sentenced to a short four years for his prolific collection of child porn.

Always the whaddabout….
Like Biden before and Hillary before that, Governor Newsom will get absolutely none of my support in the primary. If he’s the nominee then that’s the way this shit goes.
Public high school and Santa Clara University is a real breeding ground for the elite levels of DC Power according to Dumbfucks. Moraga is JUST LIKE Rafael’s elite schooling.
@ 36
If he’s the nominee then that’s the way this shit goes.
I do not disagree, but here’s the thing: you need to take that perspective forward for another four or so months. To wit:
If Donald Trump is the president then that’s the way this shit goes.
If you continue to shrug your shoulders about #CrookedHillary’s purchase of the DNC in 2016, Clyburn’s embrace of Biden followed swiftly by embraces from every competing candidate in 2020, and the DNC’s very obvious lies about the health of Joe Biden in 2024 followed by the DNC’s effort to eliminate any primary challenge to Boxcheck Momala, because that’s the way this shit goes, you absolutely deserve what follows.
Particularly if that shit is Orange Man Bad.
Italy has announced that it will refuse permission the US never asked for nor needed to use its Sicily air base in order to wage war on Iran.
