CPB in Spokane acting scuzzy has caught up with them. I hope that Mr. Elshieky gets all of the money and that there are real reforms. Also, even if the fuckery were justified (it’s not) the bus ride from Spokane to Portland isn’t exactly the hot route for international smugglers.

Matt Shea is such a garbage person. At a certain point, there have to be the barest of consequences for all of the fuckery. I would hope that there is enough decency in the Republican Party to show him some serious consequences. But the truth is that the rot is the party. They have become the party that redefined the Second Amendment and elevated Donald Trump. Of course they don’t care about genocide manifestos or targeting professors and protesters.

Important Thunderpussy news!

Now that I have your attention, it’s trademark news. It seems like a different category than FUCT to me, but I am no trademark staffer or attorney.

And kudos to KUOW for actually saying Thunderpussy on my morning radio.

I appreciate that a police tower may be necessary in some cases, seeing the picture is a lot. I mean how do you insure that you are just intimidating criminals and not the public more broadly, especially in communities of color? That said the article says that the towers go to sports stadiums, so I have presumably seen them in the wild and not noticed them.
