What happens when the dumbest slackers in class become government lawyers …

The current Klickitat County sheriff is 81. Also, he is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

WA secretary of state says don’t trust USPS. Use a ballot drop box.

And who wouldn’t want to buy stock in this? “Sufficiently advanced AI systems could, if not developed, deployed, and operated with appropriate safeguards, oversight, and security measures, pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.”

TL;DR: If the Dems take Capitol Hill, there's only so much they will be able to do for two years. Bold reform will be vetoed. But performative legislating will be an important roadmap for the next White House occupant. And it will be reassurance for voters that Dems mean what they say.

Not clear if they're trying to cut 60,000 or if that's merely the number they are offering the buyout — with the expectation that a fraction will take the offer. An earlier buyout offer to 8,700 had an acceptance rate of 1/3.

OMG Seahawks.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

Inasmuch as we all vote by mail in WA, I guess they would watch the tabulation in Renton?

One of the last affordable corners of north Seattle, where the median income is a mere $99,000.

I know you are, but what am I?

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

My uncle _un-invented_ radar! Can you believe it?

Nothing is a more convincing admission that you know your entire administration is corrupt than giving criminal pardons to EVERYONE.

The Hanford Nuclear Reservation in WA is so toxic people can’t clean it up without getting sick.

People at SpaceX need to start blowing the whistle.

Um ...

Print this on an index card, stick it in your pocket, and take it to the polls with you when you vote. 18 US Code §592: Troops at Polls, prohibited by law. [You can copy the text in the Alt-txt box directly.]

Wow, New America is rocking the rich and powerful and pedo in the courts.

More of this, please.

We have to think about collapsing Trump poll numbers and Rs turning on him the same way we'd think about finally being able to corner a rabid raccoon in your garage. Good news: he's out of options. Bad news: he's a rabid raccoon.

Apparently, re-traumatizing a child sexual abuse victim with a statewide TV ad is now a campaign tactic. Stay classy, Republicans!

"Any effort to undermine the election will eventually resolve itself, whether through political compromise, contentious rulings from courts, the use of force or all three. But the economic impact will outlast any immediate political crisis."

I'm concerned about the rising price of bribes for pardons. I mean, $50 million? That's crazy. First diesel, now this. Another sign that inflation is out of control.

And of course we are not surprised.

I can hardly wait to see pot-ass in a bathing suit.

This is getting increasingly crazy: "The numbers are staggering. So are the assumptions about future wealth, billionaire follow-through and the public's willingness to trust its benefactors."

Seattle cops are prohibited by city ordinance from using drones for surveillance. Not so the King County Sheriff's Office.

US set to announce certification of Boeing 737 MAX 10 Tuesday, sources say reut.rs/3WkBWO9

“I’m not mocking or trivializing mental illness. People who are unwell need empathy and treatment. But they don’t need to be president.”

Ill save you some time: This is a really long treatise that is essentially a great big *shrug*. Nate has no idea.

Interesting that "Jeopardy!" host Ken Jennings is able to do an anti-Initiative 645 ad and name-check the show. He must have gotten the green light from the folks in Hollywood. (I-645 would repeal a millionaires tax in WA, and Jennings lives in WA.)

I'm embarrassed to say I was oblivious to the fact WA has no parole system. Meanwhile, why doesn't our governor fill vacancies on panels like the Washington State Clemency and Pardons Board?

Maureen Dowd, and a photographer, at their best: "The president is leaning in to talk to the two Ivanka knockoffs, who look like sorority-sister clones, four eyes glued on the man they adore, two fervent smiles glazed with pink lip gloss."

Ohio State, Indiana — you're neighbors! You share a common border! Violence is not the answer! How wonderful it would be to see both teams holding hands and singing "Kumbaya."

Not exactly subtle, is he? What a fucking traitor.

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

It's all about the money, of course. And apparently the nation's No. 13 media market is too small, or too low-profile, for the NBA.

Some British dude, appearing on MSNOW, just called what's going on in DC a "Caligula orgy of corruption."

This is a jaw-dropping litany of corruption and incompetence among the multitude of unserious federal officials of the Trump “administration.” God help us all.

Done. I'll be using a drop box.

The US government should seize control of Starlink and SpaceX for the good of humanity. Elon Musk cannot be trusted.

After the mid-terms, Trump "will retain immense capacity to inflict destruction on America, not to mention America’s allies."

"It was a wake-up call for everyone": Add this to the list of scenarios in which humans, or maybe even AI, could extinguish humanity — by disrupting the "internet of things."

Poll respondents seem to think "commonism," as I like to call it, ain't such a bad thing.
