Where would we be without Elijah to share with us the important failings of the Trump administration, like misgendering some of the dead by including them with their fallen brethren?

Apparently we have $500m to keep Spirit Airlines in the sky.
Barack spent far more than that to keep the UAW workers at Chrysler and GM employed.
Would you rather have Spirit gone while United and American complete a merger?
From what I read Spirit was about to emerge from bankruptcy with concessions in-hand from bondholders and unions when the war started and fuel prices spiked. I don’t see a bridge financing as a problem, in that circumstance.
Spirit to me is nothing more than a cheap flight to Vegas. Alaska Airlines treats me well enough that I don’t want a cheaper flight by a lesser carrier.

A similar study in children was reported a few months ago, and discussed here on HA. Basically in that study the vaccine was shown to reduce hospital visits and hospitalizations for about six months after either the initial vaccine series or the booster.
There were some serious problems with that study, including the fact that ER visitis and hospitalizations were counted if the children were seen for some problem other than COVID-19 infection. If they tested positive for COVID-19 and for influenza and/or RSV they were included. The study ended up describing the visits/hospitalizations as “COVID-19 associated” rather than caused by COVID-19. For a kid, influenza and RSV are far more likely to cause serious illness than is COVID-19.
Here is the summary of limitations of that study:
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/wr/mm7440a1.htm#:~:text=During%20August%2029%2C%202024%E2%80%93September,with%20no%202024%E2%80%932025%20vaccination.
I see no problem with analyzing the data by different methodology. You should see no problem with the reality that the current study is getting far more air play now that it’s being held back than if it had been published in the MMWR communication.

Don’t overgeneralize Washington state’s taxation decisions. That goes double for last week’s clown who posted about the $20 Subway footlong double meat in the 425 area code. Even at the CVG airport the Subway was selling them for far less than that.
Fast food dining prices are where they are because Washington’s Democrat legislators want kids 16 and older to be paid $17.13/hr to assemble Subway sandwiches. In Seattle those kids are paid $21.30.

I used to pay $2.69 for gas 6 months before the 2024 election, as I have previously mentioned here.
And then the gas went back to $2.85 for a while prior to the EXCURSION. But now I currently pay $3.95, after it peaked at $4.15.
But it’s only gas and IT’S STILL AVAIALBLE.
Please do a study of the Peak of Biden and how long it stayed there versus what we are up against today.
In the end, unless you have a vehicle that gets 20 miles to the gallon and you drive a lot (my vehicle gets 35 mpg, and I drive 30,000 per year) then the cost of the gas is truly miniscule compared to other purchases. But that didn’t stop they whiny fucking Hetero Neanderthal Class from crying to make political gains.
Bob always has a silver lining somewhere unless he needs to exploit the issue like a good frog.
@ 18
And you didn’t address the point that had Pete Buttigieg been the Transportation Secretary and done that …
That’s because had it been done in the Democrat administration, it would have been done by the Biden White House, just as the Intel investment was done by the DJT47 White House. You didn’t see Lutnick taking credit for it. Well, not while standing in front of a microphone, anyway.
I left alone your silly analogy the first time but you had to push it.

@ 20
Please do a study of the Peak of Biden and how long it stayed there versus what we are up against today.
Biden’s peak 8.9% inflation will stay forever. Just as did GWB43’s, Barack’s, and DJT45’s. Because the rate of inflation waxes and wanes, but it does not drop below zero, unless we’re all seriously fucked. So far Biden’s peak 8.9% inflation has hamstrung consumers for 46 month. And counting.
The Peak of Biden will never go away. It’s like your HIV positivity that way.
This current Administration hasn’t done shit but create controversy and world disorder.
And, cheap things don’t stay cheap forever, but average out over time, as well as a Pandemic caused crisis. Partly responsible by Republicans.
Why does Dumpy want lower interest rates. When interest rates were lower, real low, Conservative cried about stagflation.
Face it, Heterosexual Neanderthals are partisan hacks.
And your credibility goes to complete shit when you have to make false statements.
But we all know you suck on the horses’ cocks.
Do gas.
20)My dad had a 1982 GMC Suburban that with a 40 gallon tank. Sold it when he was in need of an accessible van, and that was when Diesel ws still in the $1-2 per gallon range(early 2000s). Went by on LINK one of the stations in the Rainier Valley we filled up at, at the time (last month) $6 per gallon. Would have been a $240 fill up. On the highway, that 40 gallon tank did go far.
The Peak of Biden will never go away.
Highest inflation was post WWI but the next highest was in 1980 at bit over 14 percent..
Of course, after kreepfuck voted for bonzo in ’84 (what happened to ’80? heh heh)..
Inflation “went away”..
I had a good comeback for kreepuck gloating over Swalwell and then I forgot it..
Finally remembered:
#meetoo was a “bad idea” until kreepfuck needed another excuse to masturbate while trolling HA..
just as the Intel investment was done by the DJT47 White House.
aka “ownership” of the means of production.. where’s little maxiwipe when you need a silly tool to hang the “marxists”?
I’ll answer that – stinking up Sedona or wherever it hangs to tie one on and pop off racist shit about the locals.
Been looking for Diesel price impacts on Transit. Haven’t seen too much about Metro as they procure it in advance by contract, and Public Transit providers have been exempt from WA Fuel Taxes since 1957.
TriMet has seen a bump in Diesel prices, as well as electricity prices, but TriMet uses R99, which is a blend that only uses 1%Petroleum Diesel. Metro mainly uses ULSD and what buses they havr that burn diesel are now hybrids, and the most recent purchase have start/stop capability. Now would be a good time for Metro to rethink their policy on trolleybus battery use. No more weekend dieselization for minor construction impacts.

That pesky Constitution again, ruing liberal wet dreams.
The linked piece documents rapid, unexplained changes and very large deletions in the DOD official system for reporting service related deaths and injuries.
It’s called Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS). Fat Hitler’s delusional ravings have nothing to do with it.
The lying troll never tires of coming here to lie to protect his failing cult of pedophiles. But lying about DCIPS is another way of stealing valor.
These are volunteer service members put into the path of death by a draft dodging pedophile who won’t even bother to honor their sacrifice by showing up when their broken bodies are returned home. He won’t even take of his fucking stupid hat.
And now MAGA Republicans like our lying troll want to rob them of the honor their sacrifice has earned by lying about it.
@5 The GOP-controlled Congress spends its on trivialities, so why can’t Elijah do the same?
@6 Bullshit. A lame stab at creative lying. Heather Heyer was killed by one of Trump’s “fine people” who drove a car into a crowd intending to cause a mass casualty event. Until you show SPLC was paying James Alex Fields Jr., nothing links SPLC to him and that incident.
@8 The SPLC is vastly more honorable than Bob will ever be.
@16 Last weekend I paid $3.47 in Cincinnati to refill the rental car tank. Diesel at the same location was $4.99. Oh, and those McD’s breakfast burritos that are 2 for $3.99 here? They were 2 for $2.99 in Middle America.
If you like it so much in the Midwest, why don’t you stay? Your meager options trading income will go farther there. Whidbey Island doesn’t need you.
P.S., one reason for cheaper gas in Ohio is lower gas taxes, but Ohio has toll roads. There are different ways of paying for roads and bridges; we do it with gas taxes, back east they do it with tolls.
@19 Thank God for Democrats’ continued embrace of representation by octagenarians.
Yeah, your party only has a barely sentient 79-year-old running a war, so you’ve got us there. That’s a real gotcha.

@26 Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the carefully assembled and maintained rules-based global order and retrograding to the archaic every-nation-for-itself system that led to endless wars.
The difference this time is that some of those nations have civilization-ending weapons. Another world war won’t necessarily be the last one, but as Einstein said, if there’s a World War 4 it will be fought with sticks and stones.
@36 Pretty much a no-brainer that states can’t tell the feds what to do. Just like dismissing Kash’s defamation lawsuits, throwing out Trump’s birthright EO, and acquitting the sandwich-throwing guy of felony charges are no-brainers.
The Supremacy Clause forbids the State from enforcing such legislation.
Which is why the repukes will attempt to use budget reconciliation to fully fund armed, masked thugs killing American citizens in the cities.
And HA’s “domestic embarrassment” toll from widbee will make its keyboard sticky – again.
38,
There is absolutely nothing trivial about statistically denying the deaths and injuries given in service to our country by those few who are willing to volunteer.
You should really be at least a little ashamed for accepting the lying troll’s completely false framing.
It’s a lie, of course. Because he is a liar.
But it’s a particularly disgraceful kind of lie, as you should well know. These are mostly young people who have been robbed of at least some part of their future by their willing service. It’s not possible to make a joke out of that. And we are all obligated to look at it directly and honestly, even when armchair Generals like the lying troll choose to lie about it.
These aren’t clerical mistakes. These are real service members lives unalterably damaged or destroyed by their service to the rest of us. Lying about that is unforgivable. I trust you know better.

When Virginia is redistricting was put on the ballot a republican appointed rural judge issued an injunction saying that a vote could not happen because it violated the various rules, blah blah blah.

That very same rural Republican judge today issued a ruling that yesterday‘s vote cannot be certified at his null and void.
Good luck with that.
Hearing Monday.
Just pause for a moment and consider where we are with the whaddaboutism.
Republicans are ordering the public street execution of nurses for protesting “the wrong way” and firing cabinet members for refusing to order violations of the international humanitarian conventions.
And the raving MAGA cult liar wants to compare that to the unforgivable error of “overstimulating” the economy after an historically unprecedented global shutdown.
We really need to stop responding to these provocations this way. The MAGA GOP are committing major global war crimes supporting genocidal threats to global security. Oh, and occasionally committing murder. Their complaints about marginal domestic economic policy are entirely irrelevant. And they need to be treated as such.

Here’s two words that make Republicans melt into their shitty shoe magnets:
Voter.
Approved.
So far every Democratic mid decade redistricting has been 100% voter approved.
Texans can’t say that.
Tennesseeans can’t say that
North Carolinians can’t say that.
Missourians can’t say that.
Republicans can not say that.
This is another example of the whaddaboutism that really needs to be addressed very differently. STOP ACCEPTING THEIR FALSE FRAMING. Stop pretending according to their premises that these things can be compared.
They can’t.
Because they are categorically dissimilar things. Stop agreeing to play according to the rules established by fucking child rapists.

As Forrest Gump would say, “Stupid is, as stupid does.”
I still believe Trump will be removed from office by the first quarter of 2027. It will probably occur in the late February or mid-March.
J.D. Vance will then take the office, but his term will end in January of 2029. The Republicans will not have a successful bid for the presidency until possibly in 2036, but, given their inability to see the obvious, it may not be until 2040.

There are a lot of Democrats running for Congress this year who are reluctant to plainly declare that they support impeaching the Insane Failing Cult Leader. There’s a generation of professional campaign consultants advising Democratic candidates to go after “moderate” Trump voters by either avoiding any mention of him, or by leaning into MAGA talking points. Poll data like this should help persuade campaigns that this is bad strategy.
