  2. It made $265 million on opening weekend and has gotten excellent reviews.

    How is that a bomb?

  3. @2 The majority of that was overseas. Domestic box office was $124.5 million, according to Variety.

  6. Tankers through the Strait of Hormuz in the last 24 hours:

    0

    Unleaded $4.11/gal
    +$.12 one week
    +$0.95 year ago, Maine +$1.01

    Bessent: “Gas prices are coming down”

  7. 1, 2, 3:

    What the film shows is Hollywood hasn’t had an original idea in 50 years. The movie business keeps re-doing what it has done, over and over again!

    Come up with some new ideas, Hollywood!

  8. $200m as of Thursday domestic.

    Almost $400m worldwide.

    On a budget of $250m

    Was that sarcasm or do you not know what a bomb is?

  9. Moana came out the same time as Odyssey.

    Same budget, $250m

    It’s gotten $95m worldwide

    Now THATS a bomb!

    I bet YLShe went and saw it tho…..

  10. @ 7

    Come up with some new ideas, Hollywood!

    Yeah, Hollywood. Blame everything on the Jews like Pars Dominae Foetidae does.

  12. @10 – Jews aren’t the problem. Zionism is the problem, and those folks can be Jewish, Christian or whatever.

  13. Erm……Moana would the wokier of the two movies.

    Btw, woke is dead….has been for a few years. Just another fad…..

    Pool feels great btw. You should get one….

    Jealousy is so unbecoming, YLB.

    Maybe there’s a public pool near Northgate you could go to?

  15. @13 LMAO… A black Helen of Troy? A trans actor opening the movie?

    Elmo had a meltdown over Lupita Nyong’o.

    Casting Elliot Page makes that piece of shit Musk go all “woke mind virus”.

    You trolls worship that racist freak!

    I don’t give a flying shit about your kiddie pool assiwipe. Babble all you want about your kiddie pool, your garage whose doormat you trip over and your shitty liddle hot wheels shop. Every place you go you still fart, get blotto and pop off like a junior high puke. But babble all ya want about your shit.. I’ll laugh at you just the same. Your behavior here is a fucking joke. Has been for 17 years.

  16. Ellen Page will spend the rest of her career Dinklageing.

    She’ll be this century’s Billy Barty.

  18. Federal Judge has ordered DOJ to provide full unredacted Epstein files for review on:

    Is there Nat.Sec information that prevents release as ordered by law, a claim made by DOJ.

    Did DOJ violate the law by redacting adult perpetrators of abuse as alleged by victims.

    “There’s nothing left to see” is not a legal argument. Discovery is a thing.

    Signals ready to move to a contempt charge if they are not produced.

  19. The escalating war with Iran is threatening to depress Republican turnout ahead of the midterms, as new polling shows President Trump’s MAGA base increasingly turned off by the conflict.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5989245-trump-iran-war-midterm-turnout/

    Looks like Trump is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea: He has to choose between escalating the war or the midterms. Meanwhile, people who understand Iran way better than he does think escalation will get him nothing.

    https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5989841-experts-skeptical-intensified-air-strikes-iran/

    In sum, this is what political incompetence looks like.

  20. @9 Say, how is “Melania” doing at the box office? Last I heard, revenue is almost $17 million.

  21. @12 Don’t expect a dumbfuck to understand the distinctions between Jews, Jewish state, and Zionism.

  22. @18 In other legal news, a federal appeals court has left in place an injunction blocking Trump’s mail voting EO, which the lower court called “unconstitutional.”

    The essence of the EO is that DHS would compile a list of who’s eligible to vote, and investigate state election officials who mailed to ballots to anyone not on the DHS list.

  23. Watching YLShe rage-post is hilarious.

    You can literally picture the steam coming out of its ears. .

    Please say a prayer for his poor keyboard getting finger-punched.

    Pro-tip: YLB, use those fingers to satisfy your wife, not to pound the shit out your keyboard.

  24. 22)Should be headed towards the Supreme Court, don’t we have conflicting decisions now?

  25. @19

    Trump has done the exact opposite of what he said he was going to do, on the campaign trail in 2024. In November, he will get the response he does not want from the MAGA crowd: they aren’t going to vote.

  26. @25 That’s fine with me, and with Democrats everywhere.

    If Democrats win majorities in Congress, the next two years could be very entertaining.

  27. The thing about American politics is that no party has a monopoly on governing for very long. It goes back and forth. This makes consistent policymaking difficult, but it also acts as a check on bad policies (and bad leadership).

  29. On the subject of Aurora Avenue, I think the city policy of looking the other way at prostitution is a bust, and it’s time to run off the prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, and people shooting at each other. The business owners and neighbors are fed up, and you can’t even drive into the Lowes parking lot without being propositioned. I realize that’s not very liberal of me, but whole fucking area is blighted now.

  32. In today’s legal news, Venezuelan men deported by DHS to a notorious El Salvador prison are suing the airlines that transported them for violating their civil rights, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence “and other violations,” for their role in flying them to El Salvador.

    Maybe they can’t sue DHS, but they sure as shit can sue private contractors who are complicit in human rights violations. Non-governmental actors don’t have governmental immunity.

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/26/lawsuit-csi-aviation-globalx-cecot-deportation

  33. Jon Ossoff, at first glance, would make a terrific President:

    http://archive.today/Z1q2a

    LMAO… has yours truly inoculated myself against kreepfuck’s lame “the jew” attacks?

    What a fucking dork. Who would pay that moldering dumbass to troll here?

    Ossoff is a talent but I’d first have to see his Israel policy. I won’t support those who support genocide.

  34. @ 25

    Trump has done the exact opposite of what he said he was going to do, on the campaign trail in 2024.

    Illegals beg to differ.

    Now don’t tell anybody what I wanna do
    If they find out, you know that they’ll never let me through”

  35. Amb. Mike Waltz going on Meet the Press and saying both US Arms are not depleted no matter what the Nee York Times prints AND that US Arms were depleted by Joe Biden giving outdated arms to Ukraine is quite a thing to see.

    Also the war won’t end by 2027.

  36. @ 33

    Jon Ossoff, at first glance, would make a terrific President

    10 months ago unserious twits like YLB were fangirling for a different potential DNC nominee:

    Go to DemocraticSocialism
    r/DemocraticSocialism
    •
    10mo ago
    One-Patient-3417

    Why stop at the Senate… is Graham Platner a strong 2028 dark house presidential progressive candidate?
    Hopefully this doesn’t break any rules, but I’ve been noticing so much energy and excitement around Graham Platner’s Maine Senate campaign, specifically in his unapologetic support for medicare for all, fighting racism, calling out the billionaire class and corruption within both parties, and Palestine.

    His style, military/oyster fisherman background, and speaking skills gives me some hope in bringing a Bernie-style progressive to the Senate who might also be able to speak to other members of the working class who might rightly feel neither party is fighting for them.

    While it’s incredibly aware for a Senator serving their first term to win a presidential election, do you think a new voice like him could actually drum up enough support to beat out centrist liberals in 2028?

    I’ll assume the silly twit meant to write “incredibly rare for a Senator serving their first term to win a presidential election”. It clearly was silly to write this less than a decade after a guy who did it completed his second term in office.

    Ossoff, you’re no Barack Obama.

  37. Ossoff, you’re no Barack Obama.

    How anti-semitic of you!

    LMAO… yes, teh kreepfuck is now “fan girling” that “unpopular President”

    How times change..

    Sorry your “the jew” schtick is a complete fayle now that I’ve praised both Josh Stein and Jon Ossoff – shit I’ll take Shapiro any day over your other felatee:

    jerkoff dickbrane BOWMAN.

  38. @36 I can think of someone who won the presidency without any political experience whatsoever. Who’s a far, far worse human being than Graham Platner. And it shows.

  39. You can literally picture the steam coming out of its ears. .

    Please say a prayer for his poor keyboard getting finger-punched.

    Literally sounds like you take it up the ass.

  40. Speaking from experience?

    Does your wife let you pick which strap-on she’s gonna use on you?

  41. In today’s Republican Gun Culture news, a mass shooting at Seattle Center’s Bite of Seattle event Sunday evening left 2 people dead and a 2-year-old boy among the 5 perforated victims trundled off to Harborview’s gunshot wound ward.

    https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16007053/Shooting-Seattle-Center.html

    Meanwhile, a Kent man was gunned down Sunday morning at a family graduation party.

    https://www.king5.com/article/news/crime/man-killed-shooting-kent-graduation-party-suspect-arrested/281-37c7e5ea-172f-40ce-9830-83a7b407aa0c

    Republicans think everybody, and I do mean anybody, should have access to military-grade guns with no strings attached. That’s one of the stupidest fucking things I’ve ever heard of.

  43. Local news media say a third person has died, and Seattle police believe the incident was 2 people shooting at each other.

  44. @42 Yes, it’s Republicans’ fault that gangbangers can get guns. Who else’s fault would it be? Are you living under a rock?

    How do you know the shooters are “leftists” or “Seattleites”? Do you know them? Are you one of them?

    That seems at least possible, as at last reports, one of the shooters (it’s believed there were two of them) are still at large.

    Think that’s far-fetched? Well, so are you, and I can play that game, too.

  45. Does your wife let you pick which strap-on she’s gonna use on you?

    Sounds like you are very familiar with that. But in your case I didn’t think a woman was involved, I thought that some type of animal was involved with you.

  48. 45

    “sounds like”

    “I didn’t think”

    “I thought”

    Wow, all that in two sentences….and the frosting was using “I didnt think” and “I thought” both in one sentence!

    awesome! Keep it up!

  49. 44

    Yes rabbit, and I am sure the shooters involved dont have lengthy criminal records(most likely preventing them from obtaining firearms legally). sarc.

    I would also venture to guess that along with their lengthy criminal history, there is a pattern of slap-on-the-wrist punishments (in the name if “equity”, of course) all brought to you by left leaning local officials and lawmakers.

    But sure, blame republicans(who do not have any power whatsoever in Seattle, King County, or the state) because a couple of thuggies decided to shoot up Seattle Center.

    Your ilk decided to go soft on criminals, and then you desire to blame the other team when those criminals repeatedly do violent shit.

    nice try tho…..

  50. “Gang bangers” exist due to Lyndon Johnson’s “Great” Society disaster over 60 years ago. Also, the so-called black “leadership” over the past 60 years has contributed to the absolute destruction of black families in America.

  51. Man uses his 2nd Amendment protections to protect his family with firearms in the home.

    Husband killed his wife, six kids before taking his own life in Grand Haven Township: police

  53. With the release of Fauci’s private diary Rand Paul has made it very clear why the people running Biden’s White House were forced to auto-pen Fauci a pardon.

  54. @ 53

    And with the impending release of the 2016-2017 Biden interview tapes

    Jeff Clark
    @JeffClarkUS

    The Oversight Project is going to get the Biden tapes imminently.

    The injunction pending appeal by the DC Circuit has been dissolved.

    Stand by. Get ready.

    3:12 PM · Jul 27, 2026

    it will be very clear why a small cabal of criminal White House insiders took it upon themselves to do Biden’s job for him, via the autopen.

  55. @52

    With the release of the Fauci diaries we see that lab leak was an early discussion, which we knew, it was discussed at length, later evidence showed it was not likely, which we knew and they moved on, which we knew.

    It also showed Fauci believed the death toll would be much lower as he recommended social distancing and masking which entire states refused to do, so….the numbers were higher. STURGIS WILL GO ON FRREEEEEEEDDOM!

    Going back to 2020 won’t change that only the select few can afford gas, groceries and getting sick in 2026

  56. @52

    The Current President thinks Japan is Islamic, that schools are providing trans surgery, Bibi is honest and posts AI slop art of the glorious war that’s made gas 30% more expensive for Americans.

    Go for it. Congress should have hearings from now to November.

  57. That the 2020 Biden administration was a shitshow, and that the current 2024 Trump administration is also a shitshow.

    You can’t trust either party to do the right thing or have intelligent honest people in charge.

    Welcome to America.

  58. WTF is a 15-year-old kid doing with a gun at a crowded food festival? Oh, that’s right: Republican gun policies, aided and abetted by a rogue Supreme Court.

  59. @49 This poster wants us to believe the 15-year-old suspect “has a lengthy criminal record” and Republican gun policies haven’t found their way into Supreme Court rulings and/or those rulings don’t apply in Seattle.

  60. @49 Your ilk decided to go soft on criminals, and then you desire to blame the other team when those criminals repeatedly do violent shit.

    My ilk didn’t pardon hundreds of violent rioters who tried to overthrow our duly elected government or try to hand out taxpayer money to them.

    My ilk didn’t give Ashli Babbitt’s family $5 million from taxpayer funds as compensation for her death resulting from criminal activity.

    But I will concede that my ilk sometimes gravitates toward rehabilitating irredeemable sociopaths when society’s emphasis should be on confinement; and many among my ilk oppose the death penalty in all circumstances, whereas I think some of those fuckers have it coming.

    You must be new here, because you apparently don’t realize this particular rabbit is a hardass toward criminals.

    What I blame your ilk for is failing to realize that totally deregulating guns guarantees they’ll end up in the hands of criminals, crazies, and children; and encouraging people to carry guns turns arguments into gunfights and normal social frictions into assaults and killings.

    Guns are necessary for self-protection in rural areas where law enforcement is thinly spread and far away. Urban areas require different rules. Cities should be allowed to place reasonable restrictions on guns. One size does not fit all.

  61. I see in today’s news that Bryan Kohberger wants to withdraw his guilty plea and go to trial. Living in maximum security must not agree with him. Probably the food sucks, too.

    This is unlikely to go anywhere. He had effective assistance of counsel. He wasn’t coerced into pleading guilty. There’s no reason to believe he’s innocent or the court proceedings were a miscarriage of justice.

    And if he does go to trial, he’s likely committing suicide. The jailers can save the legal system the time, expense, and trouble by handing him a bedsheet and looking the other way while he twists it into a rope.

  62. 58

    Rabbit seems to think Republican gun policies allowed a 15 year old to legally obtain a firearm(dunno what kind yet) so he could shoot up the food court.

    Of course the other suspects have yet to be caught -but all this points to more gang related violence.

    Meanwhile, Seattle’s Hug-A-Thug policies have no bearing on this situation – after all, its not “equitable” to have people be responsible for their own actions, now is it?

    I hope your hat is tasty, Roger. Because when this is over, you are going to be eating it.

  63. 61

    A .45 to the back of the head and a shallow grave in the middle of nowhere is about appropriate for Kohberger.

  64. Idaho’s death penalty law changed on July 1, 2026. Now its primary execution method is firing squad. In response, an anti-death penalty group put up a billboard in Boise that says, “Idaho – Don’t shoot Tom Creech!”

    https://idahonews.com/news/local/new-anti-firing-squad-billboard-goes-up-in-boise

    Shooting Tom Creech is okay by me, if that’s what Idaho wants to do. He’s no loss to society (details here).

    Don’t get me wrong. There is a difference between me and Trump, Doctor Dumbfuck, and their ilk. I don’t rush to judgment. Trump still wanted to execute five innocent black kids even after they were exonerated. The dumbfuck troll habitually pronounces people guilty without trial.

    There have been literally dozens or hundreds of death row exonerations, pointing to very serious problems in our criminal justice system, especially in shitholes like Oklahoma (think Richard Glossip). I think lying cops who frame innocent suspects should go to prison and lose their pensions. And I have a huge problem with REPUBLICANS who want to execute women for having abortions.

    (Remember when Republicans promised they wouldn’t go after women if abortion was outlawed? They lied.)

    I don’t agree with my ilk on everything. I support sparing use of the death penalty for monstrous crimes where there’s no doubt of guilt after a fair trial with full due process. Ted Bundy, John Gacy, Nazi war criminals: Good riddance. Here in Washington: Charles Campbell, good riddance.

    There are truly repulsive sociopaths who deserve to be put down, and it’s a perfectly normal human response to feel satisfaction at their elimination.

    Washington doesn’t have the death penalty anymore. Our legislature wouldn’t abolish it, but the state supreme court did, finding it was tainted by racial bias (but left the door open to reinstating a reformed death penalty), and later the legislature did abolish it.

    The death penalty, as administered in the U.S., has been substantially discredited by racism, a deeply flawed criminal justice system that convicts innocent people, botched executions, and so on. These are compelling reasons to get ratchet way back on executions. And if society can’t do it right, it shouldn’t be done at all.

    But there’s no indication that Tom Creech’s death sentence is afflicted with any of these failings. He isn’t innocent, wasn’t railroaded, and has no value to society. If Idaho wants to shoot him, he got it coming to him; and if the families of his many victims take solace from his execution, more power to them.

  65. @62 How fucking stupid can you be? Republican gun policies have saturated our country with guns and made them easy to get.

    Canada, England, Scandinavia don’t have our gun violence. There are models to look to for guidance on a better way of doing things.

    We don’t have to ban or confiscate guns. Reasonable regulation won’t eliminate gun violence, but can help reduce it. We require a license to drive a car, so why shouldn’t we require a license to carry a gun in public?

  66. @63 You admire the Soviet Union’s practices, eh? Except I think they used 9mm Makarov pistols in a windowless basement room with a drain for washing away the blood. I don’t know what they did with the bodies.

  67. @50 And two centuries of racism had nothing to do with it?

    What, exactly, was LBJ’s Great Society?

    Job Corps
    Volunteers in Service to America
    National Endowment for the Arts
    Medicare and Medicaid
    Food stamp program
    Federal aid to schools with low income students
    Federal housing program
    Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts
    Immigration reform

    Many of the Great Society projects were opposed by Republicans, who objected to what they considered “government handouts”.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Society

    The “I’ve got mine, pull up the ladder” crowd.

  68. @53 What was Fauci’s crime? Making Republican assholes wear masks to keep them from spreading their deadly germs to innocent people?

    Fauci served as one of the most visible faces of the government’s response to the pandemic. He earned praise from supporters for steady leadership and guidance in response to an unprecedented public health threat, but some Republicans blasted him for mask mandates and his more vocal critics suggested he should be prosecuted.

    https://www.chiefhealthcareexecutive.com/view/why-president-biden-pardoned-anthony-fauci

    Fauci wouldn’t need a preemptive pardon if the leader of the Republican Party didn’t weaponize the DOJ and persecute people.

  69. @57 Democracy is messy, always has been, always will be. Would you rather live under the thumb of some self-selected overlord who thinks he knows what’s best for you and yours, and gives you no choice about following his diktats?

    Only one of our parties is trying to abolish democracy and institute what amounts to a monarchy. Is that the party you vote for?

  70. Bryan Kohberger got to the “find out“ part and didn’t like it.

    The death penalty would have been the appropriate punishment, but at least he’s where he needs to be today.

  71. @57: “You can’t trust either party to do the right thing or have intelligent honest people in charge.”

    Are you JUST NOW starting to figure that out?

  72. Don’t worry Pinot, after you lose your license to practice you’ll always have a home on Fox.

    The only witness that Jeanine Pirro produced before the DC grand jury admitted that the feds’ case against an Olympic canoeist was bogus because the damage he is charged with was there before he arrived on the scene. But Pirro secured her indictment just the same.

  73. PDF,
    What part in my post says “just now”??

    Keep up little buttercup…

  74. 69

    And now we see that the Rabbit has outed himself as a party stooge. Not that most people didnt already know.

    I dont vote for ” a party” you clown.

    Good to know you are all comfy with the inept criminals running this nation into the ground….you only seem to get butthurt when they dont have a D behind their name.

    People like you are part of the problem. Easier to look for an R or a D instead of using your brain….what a tool you are.

  75. I told you last week that Seattle would get back to business as usual now that the world cup is gone.

    Anybody up for a walk about around the Seattle Center? lol

    maybe the little gangbangers just need some hugz….

  76. @73: “You can’t trust either party to do the right thing or have intelligent honest people in charge.”

    You should figured that out DECADES ago, dumbass! @57 shows us you just now started to realize the Democrats and Republicans are different sides of the same fucked-up political coin.

    Try to keep up, buttercup!

  79. RFK Jr, and probably Fox News since they haven’t issued a correction, have bought themselves a defamation suit

    RFK Jr: “Because of Dr Fauci’s leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world

    We had the 16th highest mortality rate (knowingly false statement with the intent of causing financial or repetitional harm) and it was LITERALLY because the yahoo states ‘I WILL NOT COMPLY’ decided keeping their neighbors alive was communism.

  80. @74 And now we see that the Rabbit has outed himself as a party stooge. Not that most people didnt already know.

    I beat you to it. For years I’ve been posting that I’m a liberal propagandist and Democratic party hack.

    You must be new to this blog.

  81. @76 Democrats and Republicans are different sides of the same fucked-up political coin

    Well, at least this time you didn’t try to say they’re the same.

  82. Poor little YLShe rage-posting again….hahhahahah

    I’m gonna pass on your offer to fuck tho, I’m not into ugly chicks.

  84. Violent crime per year in Sedona: 30. Mostly lower level assaults

    Violent crime rate in Seattle: 5400. Guess we should add 3 more murders from last weekend

    I suppose pimp shootouts could be pretty entertaining tho…..

    Oof….

    Sedona tracks in the middle for small towns, while seattle is rated top 5 of large cities for crime.

    Own it.

    Pool time…..

    And no, I stil don’t want to fuck you, YLShe.

  85. Do people in Seattle proper even admit to Northgate being in Seattle?

    I wouldn’t, but that’s just me.

  88. @84

    My guy, with no due respect,

    Sedona has a population under 10k.

    A mid-sized city by US census standards is 100-300k. Seattle is 750k Seattle’s violent crime rate per 100k (which is the way cops and world governments rank crime, not in pure numbers) is 775 which puts it 46th nationwide.

    Seattle is 750k (rounded)

    Now if you want to play with cities less than 1m but more than 700k, Seattle is 8 of 11, 12 if you want to round Nashville’s 698k into the group.

    That puts it behind such 100-300k mid sized cities like:
    Akron, OH
    Lakewood, CO
    Winstoon-Salem, NC
    Lubbock, TX
    Chattanooga, TN
    Lancaster, CA
    Salt Lake City, UT
    Springfield, MA
    San Bernardino, CA
    Grand Rapids, MI
    And
    1, 2, 3, 4….13 other ‘mid-sized’ cities.

    This is where you admit you pulled your statistics out of your small intestine, past the colon and out your ass.
    It’s the 19th biggest city in the country and you want to compare it to Sedona, AZ? Bitch please.

  90. Not content to get a small portion of 61% of all card and electronic purchases worldwide, Visa announces layoff of 7% of their workforce so the CEO can make the stock go up a little more than the 5% YTD.

    Visa’s net in Q2 2026 was $11.2B beating estimates by 17% so they really gotta trim those sails to compete.

  91. The DNC hates homosexuals like Mayor Pete.

    InteractivePolls
    @IAPolls2022

    The Democratic National Committee has selected South Carolina as the first Southern state on the 2028 presidential primary calendar, choosing it over Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia

    4:12 PM · Jul 24, 2026

    Why else would the DNC put him at such a disadvantage right out of the gate?

    Unless it’s because the DNC plans on spending $3 billion on Boxcheck Momala this time around.

  92. @ 91

    In addition to blowing billions on a a silly, incompetent black candidate, the DNC plans to blow tens of millions to prop up a white guy because black voters are being told by the black woman who lost in the primary to him that the Texas DNC is racist.

    Amid criticism, Talarico increases outreach to Black voters in Texas with $25 million pledge

    And because the white guy looks and acts like Opey Taylor.

  93. Probably not in my lifetime, anyway.

    @elbh

    Fauci broke our societal trust in ways we will never regain. As confidence was lagging anyway, he caused the collapse.

    Science. Journalism. Government. Hollywood. Culture. Economics. Law Enforcement. Judicial System. Our fellow Americans.

    All of it.

    It will not return in our lifetime.

    Trust was broken the moment the CDC and its acolytes decided that protesting in large groups was more important than shielding oneself from The Wuhan by hiding indoors away from others.

  94. @90 – Capitalism is STILL better than socialism, communism and fascism. If you hate capitalism so much, you might be better served by moving to North Korea or Cuba.

  95. @94

    We don’t have capitalism in the USA.

    We’ve had Oligarchy/Corporatocracy since Reagan.

  96. Oh?

    Congressman Wesley Hunt (R-TX) slipped a rider into the NDAA before it passed the house for Sable Offshore Energy (Houston). The rider allows the Secretary of the Army to seize State Park land in California for energy production in the name of national security.

    Sable Offshore is fighting 21 Criminal Charges relating their spill near Santa Barbara in 2015 that fouled Refugio State Park beaches The spill was onshore, but the pipeline did not have the required safeguards so 100,000 gallons of crude spilled into the local solar system and out to the ocean.Sable repeatedly violated stop work orders by the state and they want to build a new part of the same pipeline through Gaviota State Park. Early this year California ordered Sable to remove the unpermitted four miles of construction in the park and filed the criminal charges.

    Now a single House Rep. wants to make it so the current Defense Department can seize the park
    for the benefit of a Texas based oil company with a history of spills and criminal activity.

  97. Over the weekend a Guatemalan Couple BOTH with active political. asylum claims, husband deported, wife voluntarily returned with child when she could not afford to stay in the US without his income, were found bound, gagged, evidence of torture and shot through the head on a roadside in Guatemala.

    Their dehydrated 14 month old was found with them alive.

  98. Foreign National without a valid visa or Hreen Card has thoughts.

    @Cobratate

    Of the 7 days I have been in Special Housing Unit I have been allowed my daily 1 hour exercise only twice.

    For 5 of the days I remain in my cell for 24 hours, ignored fully, never even seeing a guard.
    Isn’t this illegal?

    Isn’t my one hour of yard enforced by law?

    Where are my rights?

  99. @ 96

    Now a single House Rep. wants to make it…

    If it passed the House, a majority of the House members want to make it…

  100. @ 97

    … were found bound, gagged, evidence of torture and shot through the head on a roadside in Guatemala.

    And yet no evidence of a link. Go figure.

  101. Employers are bastards and there’s no limit to greed:

    The owner of a Capitol Hill restaurant … withheld payroll taxes from employee paychecks but kept the money instead of sending it to the Internal Revenue Service ….

    “While the restitution is owed to the IRS, those who are hurt by this conduct are the employees,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Floyd. “The failure to pay over the taxes means the employees may not be eligible for many federal benefits that they paid for and may have been counting on. Mr. McCormick needs to make this right.”

    https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/capitol-hill-restaurant-owner-pleads-guilty-withholding-14-million-employee-paychecks/281-9fc6037d-2e38-4795-a6e2-1411241e4ab0

    See #90 above for another, milder, example.

  102. @ 97, 100

    … wife voluntarily returned with child …

    Say, speaking of voluntary deportations:

    Why it matters: Launched last year alongside a multimillion-dollar ad campaign, the initiative is virtually the only carrot in an aggressive immigration crackdown that has been long on sticks.

    • Through July 16, the nearly $600 million program — dubbed Project Homecoming by the Department of Homeland Security — has helped about 132,000 people exit the U.S.
    • Roughly 70,000 more have signed up and are on track to leave, according to the data.
    • About half of the self-deportations have involved immigrants held in detention, under an effort that accelerated the departures and began when a DOGE staffer brought Project Homecoming into ICE facilities.

    The big picture: The self-deportation program is a key part of the administration’s push to remove 1 million unauthorized immigrants from the U.S. each year.

    And I can’t find my way back hooooommmmmmeeeeeee.

    “For the first time, someone walks in and goes, ‘Hey, who here just wants to go home?’ And everybody’s like, ‘I want to go home,'” one source said. “It’s an immediate jump” in detainees seeking deportation.
    • By the numbers: Each self-deportation is costing the government about $2,500, plus the stipend paid to the deportee, DHS says. Removing an immigrant who doesn’t volunteer for deportation costs about $18,245, the agency said.

    We’re glad to be of service.

  103. @91, 92 What really upsets you about Kamala, who’s far more intelligent, sophisticated, and personable than you’ll ever be, is that she’s black and a woman.

    Like most Republicans, you still have your shorts in tight knots over the fact ‘Murka elected a black person to the White House. And it strikes terror in your racist hearts that it could happen again.

  104. @93 Fauci’s pandemic advice was far, far better than your tribe’s pandemic advice. Rotting MAGA corpses prove it. End of story.

  105. @94 You’re confusing economic systems with political systems. The outstanding feature of North Korea and Cuba is their totalitarian governments, not their economic systems, which aren’t purely communist anyway.

    @95 We have patches of capitalism in the USA coexisting with corporatism, oligarchies, and kleptocracy.

  106. @98 Prisoner rights are aspirational. In Minnesota and other places, the rights of peaceful assembly, dissent, and free speech also are aspirational.

    Right now a lot of other things we thought we had in this country that used to make us an advanced civilized society have become aspirational, too; including, broadly, rule of law in general.

    Thanks to Republicans.

  107. @99 In other words, the entire lineup of House GOP clowns voted to let criminal special interests rape a state park in a state most of them don’t live in.

    Take it out in the Senate; and if Senate Republicans won’t take it out, defeat the entire bill and make them start over.

  108. So far we know that one of the main weapons used was:

    – stolen, which is illegal
    – was illegally modified into a fully automatic pistol
    – had a 40 round magazine, which is illegal
    – and we can probably assume the suspects had a criminal record, which made possession of firearms illegal.

    So perhaps the Rabbit can explain how Republicans(via gun laws) are responsible for this.

    Everything about the weapons was illegal already.

    Silly rabbit ran his suck before any facts came out.

    How’s that hat taste?

    More accurate to put some blame on the hug a thug policies of seattle…

  109. @102 The big picture: The self-deportation program is a key part of the administration’s push to remove 1 million unauthorized immigrants from the U.S. each year.

    And if you don’t leave voluntarily, we’ll yank you out of a vehicle, violently throw you to the ground, beat you senseless, then shackle you and throw you in a dungeon, starve you and deny you medical care, deprive you of sunlight, separate you from your children, load you on a cargo plane, and dump you in a sweltering jungle where you’ll be murdered on the roadside.

    Even if you have a valid asylum application pending, or a valid green card. And, in some cases, even if you’re a U.S. citizen.

    Nice work, pubbies.

  110. And to pay for this, you’re taking health care and basic nutrition away from the children of single moms and low-wage workers.

    And now you’re trying to rig the midterm elections because you’re afraid you might be unpopular.

  111. @108 So perhaps the Rabbit can explain how Republicans(via gun laws) are responsible for this.

    For the same reason that eliminating traffic laws and traffic cops would result in more accidents.

    If you regulate guns, you’ll have fewer guns falling into the wrong hands. By eliminating all regulation of guns, Republicans have contributed to the proliferation of guns in our society, and made their possession, modification, and use harder to control.

    By the way, where was the “good guy with a gun”* when this was happening? Not that I’m promoting that idea; the last thing we need at a crowded festival or in a mall is everybody carrying, and then shooting.

    *Tired Republican shibboleth

  112. Guns are regulated, dipshit. Hence why everything I listed was “illegal”

    Dense much?

    .wanna know what might have prevented this? Locking up the dead 19 year old gang banger for 30 years instead of revolving his ass in and out of jail with slaps on the hand for his prior crimes. But no, we can’t do that in the name of “equity”

    Enjoy the shootings…..more to come.

  113. Before Republicans sponsored a free-for-all in guns, we didn’t have kids engaging in shootouts at food fairs. You never saw this in the America I grew up in. Now it’s all too common.

  114. @112 Locking up the dead 19 year old gang banger for 30 years instead of revolving his ass in and out of jail with slaps on the hand for his prior crimes.

    You know what his criminal record is? Do tell. Please share.

    All I can find on him is police believe he was an “associate” of the 15-year-old, and the shooting was “gang-related.”

    I’m all for disarming teen gangs. You got a plan for that? Besides “lock ’em up and throw away the key” after they kill an innocent bystander?

  115. Mass deportations loom and makes HA troll keyboards sticky:

    Around Washington, Salvadoran-born crews have helped renovate, rebuild and maintain the Capitol, the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. In senior living facilities in Florida, Massachusetts and New York, Haitian caregivers assist aging Americans with daily activities.

    as the clock ticks toward the end of Temporary Protected Status, business organizations, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have mounted a campaign for action on Capitol Hill, joined by a growing number of state and local leaders from both parties.
    “Congress can, and should, exercise its plenary authority over immigration policy to prevent significant disruption to America’s work force and avoid an unnecessary humanitarian crisis,” the chamber wrote in a July 10 letter to Senate leadership.

    State and local leaders are echoing those concerns. Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio, a Republican, has called ending T.P.S. for Haitians a “mistake” and predicted a steep economic toll for his state. In South Florida, home to the largest Haitian population, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and Commissioner Marleine Bastien of Miami-Dade County, along with business leaders, gathered on Wednesday to address the potential fallout.

    “Ending T.P.S. doesn’t save American money,” Ms. Bastien said during a news conference. “Ending T.P.S. costs America money.”

  116. Let’s not confuse defunding police with defunding bad police. Some police departments (usually in small towns) are so dysfunctional it’s better to disband them and turn their functions over to county sheriffs or other law enforcement agencies. But in general, it has always been my position that we need police, and instead of fewer or no police, we should approach America’s policing crisis by reforming the recruiting, training, supervision, and discipline of police.

    By the way, under Seattle’s new *socialist* mayor, SPD is emerging from its staffing crisis with better retention, fewer officers leaving, more hires, and is heading toward full staffing.

    https://mynorthwest.com/gee-and-ursula/spd-police-officers-seattle/4246338

  117. Are there bad cops? Yes, if you believe the state of Florida, which executed James Duckett today for the murder of an 11-year-old girl.

    Duckett, a police officer at the time of the murder, always maintained he was innocent. But the state convinced a jury, and a succession of appeals courts, that he abducted the girl from a convenience store while on patrol.

    He was at least the fifth ex-cop to be executed for murder in the modern era, according to Wikipedia.

  118. @99

    Someone is unaware of how riders get included in to 1000 page bills.

  119. @100

    If you can’t use the Google to find New York Times, Reuters, Yahoo, St. Louis Dispatch where they were living, AP…

    In less time than it took to type up complaint you’d have a dozen sources.

  121. @102

    So Dumbfuck is proud of a criminal program. ‘Give a false confession and we’ll let you out.’

    Some DOGE guys need to hope Donnie doesn’t keel over before they get their pardon.

  122. @121 Pardoning those guys was never in the plan. Unless, of course, they line his pockets.

    By now, everyone should realize that Trump sees everything as a profit center, and does nothing for free.

    Loyalty has nothing to do with. With him, loyalty is a one-way street: Owed to him by everybody, by him to nobody.

    Everyone should realize that by now, too.

  123. Emerson,

    Independent voters are +23 to Democrats.

    The last time a spread was this big was 2018. Democrats picked up 41 house seats. It was +12 to democrats.

    1 in 5 REPUBLICANS now say the Big Bullshit Bill only benefits the already wealthy.

  125. It’s not like a 15-year-old can manufacture a gun in his basement.

    Ghost gun, machine gun, illegal gun — it still takes readily available guns and gun parts to make these things.

    Republicans have made guns and gun parts readily available to anyone who wants them, including teen gangbangers.

  127. This is an example of bad policing, a bad cop, and someone who either should not get through pre-employment screening, or should be better trained and supervised, or should be expelled from the force in disciplinary proceedings and barred from future police employment.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzRjvPRzRMY

    None of those things are happening under the current system. And this cop isn’t an outlier; lots of others like him are on the streets with badges, guns, and arrest authority. And taxpayers are paying for it, because cops who abuse their badges and authority don’t have to pay the legal judgments and settlements.

    As I write, the Tennessee State Patrol is grappling with the fallout from a major false DUI arrest scandal.

  128. If, by some twisted interpretation of the 22nd amendment, Trump can serve a third term, then … so can Obama. And any other Democrat.

  129. I really should be more complimentary of Fauci. The market crash he orchestrated by unnecessarily shutting down the country resulted in many hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock shares put to me pursuant to naked put options positions I had sold, and my margin account went moderately deep into debit mode.

    I stood pat and took it, sold additional naked puts and bought some really cheap calls while everything was still tanked, and when market and my shares rocketed back and after recovering the losses kept rocketing upward, I made money hand over fist.

    Standing pat according to predetermined plan is what a failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool describes as “gambling”.

    Thanks, Tony!

  130. @ 128

    If, by some twisted interpretation of the 22nd amendment, Trump can serve a third term, then … so can Obama. And any other Democrat.

    Even the Democrats not born in the US?

    How about the ones in their 90s? Surely Warren Buffet would make a great third-term president in 2036, no?

    How about Joe Biden? He’d have to serve a second term before running for his third, but YLB’s inside information says ol’ Joe’s totes up to the task.

    Three cheers for Roger Rabbit, HA’s Legal Eagle and resident expert on all things constitutional.

  131. YLB’s inside information says ol’ Joe’s totes up to the task.

    This reminds me of the times the repukes revived the corpse of

    “The One”

    every 4 years at the RNC… Once orangeman rapist gets through killing the repuke party, kreepfuck will hold a seance with its vip lounge buds to summon “The One” from the dead.

  132. unnecessarily shutting down the country

    Gaza: 40k dies, it’s “good with it”.. way more than that? even better..

    Covid: over 1 million dead.. what’s another million to be “bad with” about?

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
