The WHCA and the rollover by the Dems is part and parcel of the same thing. Everyone forgot these are prestige gigs because they come with responsibility and even some danger. Instead we have a lazy collective of vapid twits who think they are just owed prestige gigs, cause "Harvard" or whatever.

The word is “raped”. Stop muddying the waters.

When you are in the majority @jayapal.house.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov it is time to: 1. Investigate his citizenship status, given his admission of illegal entry. Toss him if proven. 2. Nationalize Space X and integrate it to NASA. 3. Break up X.

Soooo @jayapal.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov what are you doing about this?

Anything @jayapal.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov ?! Crickets?

Aka, Trump wants to secure as much for Putin as possible before losing control of the legislature in November.

@jayapal.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov What are you doing about Trump's de facto alliance of the US with Russia against Ukraine and the EU? Your silence here is deafening. Especially for @jayapal.house.gov who previously wrote the "surrender to Russia for peace" letter.

Brilliant.

absolutely not the thing that drove me away from leftism but definitely the part where in the past decade the people who are “on the left” have shifted drastically to incorporate more people who not only haven’t read theory but also don’t agree with any foundational ideas of leftism sure is notable

Full-EV Surge! Fifteen countries had full-electric vehicles (BEV) at 30% or higher of auto sales for period of 6-months ending in August 2026! Another 10 were at 20% BEV or higher! Those numbers do NOT include Plug-in Hybrids (PHEV). ember-energy.org/latest-insig... #energysky

@straczynski.bsky.social Looks like an interesting situation for someone who can get the correct gang together, no? (Hint, Hint) gizmodo.com/doctor-who-i...

Aaron McGruder should do a rewrite of “Return of the King” for us pasty caucasians. In this version some of the founders like Adams, etc… come back and finally lose it insulting a bunch of “ignorant ass racist losers, we regret the Revolution” at a MAGA rally before moving back to England

Ah Seattle, where the scarce police and traffic can of course be concentrated to enforce parking restrictions for UW Sportball season! Go sportball!

"If you dare in any way get in the way of our unprovoked invasion that's war. Let us enslave the Ukrainians and it' peace!" Orwell, 2026.

This article is the single best analysis of the SPS continuing disaster, and why we gave up on them. www.educationprogress.org/p/the-decade...

IOW, just accept your status as groveling near slaves and there will be peace.

One wonders if there should be an exclusive sortie for a week of Ukrainian drones all flying at Moscow and St Petersburg, loaded with HE.

This is just your occasional reminder that Code Pink, and all the rest of the "Gaza!!!!" idiots continue to not storm capitol hill, disrupt pentagon related events, etc... No campus protest villages. But don't worry kids they'll rediscover their convictions 5 minutes after the Dems win an election!

If Trump was captain of the Titanic he not only would’ve taken the first lifeboat but he also would have announced to the passengers that everything was fine right before leaving.

Time to break it back up into smaller subordinate components of agencies, eliminate homeland security as same. Fire em all and make them reapply for gigs in the smaller components.

Between 2016 and today, the US has spent almost $9 trillion on defense. It then ran dangerously low in many advanced munitions fighting a country with no air force and navy--after about two months of combat operations. This is an extraordinary scandal.

And now, class, we're going to study "salience," which is the thing that means,for example, that 95 percent of the country supports tougher gun laws, but not enough to vote on them.

Boy, I bet a lot of people who cheered the Stranger for getting rid of its vile comments section really, really wish they had it back.

Nice to see King county really kicking butt with getting results out. Wait. Oh, that’s everybody else. King still radio silence? Never mind.

Dear god, I hope we haven’t just given up on Ron Davis unproven campaign sign allegations!!!!

Again, the sure sign of a crashing campaign is pissy negative ads and allegations, as they lower your own favorables as well. Basically, a suicide run for a flagging campaign that bites target and targeter in the general. Note the "can't confirm" on all of this.

Truth

Agreed

I wonder how much longer the Seattle hard left can go before declaring the Seattle Center shooters to be the real victims here, due to their Twagic Twama coming from evil late-stage capitalism and centrist neglect. Few more days?

Taps the sign. If the Govt can't provide a quality universal service, those with means will privatize. Festivals will charge for entry and run their own security and rules, or will move to a private venue like Lumen that will do it. Every...single...time. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Or…call me crazy…Iran could stop arming scum Putin. Just a thought.

Truth

Nice to see the Stranger returning to its traditional Russian apologist role. Because imperial aggression is progressive!

Wow, Ron Davis and his surrogates have really gone for the sleazy negative campaigning. Their internal numbers must be in the tank. A fun thing about negative campaigning: it backfires in the general election every time. Poli Sci 101. Which is why only folks in the tank start it.

Anyone remember when good old @jayapal.house.gov demanded Ukraine surrender..."for peace", and then cowardly threw staffers under the bus when it blew up in her face?

It's funny watching desperate Seattle campaigns, and their proxies go to negative campaigning. A sure sign the election is going south for them. Of course, this will come back and bite the left channel in the ass, as it drives up negative for both the attacker and the attacked in the general.

So much for the sportball fans demand of unlimited free money for stadiums because "It's the hometown team!!!".

The scumbag “elites” always get an apology tour bail out from their fellow “elites”. Every…single…time.

I feel like we need a permanent "tap the sign" for the wacktivsts. 1. Targeted public benefits = "welfare", unpopular and at risk. 2. Universal pubic benefits = popular, hard to get rid of. The right figured this out years ago and modelled their messaging accordingly.

What nobody wants to hear is that Democrats would have done a lot more progressive shit under Biden if there had just been more of them.

I know nothing matters anymore, but it is truly insane that VSPs agree AI is the most important technology in history, it’s going to transform humanity, Change Everything, and we are leaving its design and development up to a handful of deranged, brain-poisoned tech bros in Silicon Valley.

Looks like the Seattle left is experiencing the same fun the DC center-left did for years. Vote splitting! With the Stranger going one way and the other left lists going another, this should be an utter CF.

If Israel is your most important issue in this election, you're not really all that worried about American democracy.

It must be so cool to live in a functional republic.

May places like @thestranger.com that pay columnists who cheered on the "teach the Dems a lesson, end foreign wars!" choke on this. Of course, no one will take ownership, just like they memory-holed pissy Rich and gang saying SPS wouldn't close schools in that election. apnews.com/article/trum...

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

I'll take, "An example of willful naivete combined with journalistic malpractice" for $500, Alex.
