Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell reemerged today to announce a slate of Equitable Development Initiative grants including $183,000 to the Royal Esquire Club, the private men's club he chaired and where he held his election night party.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" is a criminally under-used question rn
And if they stay with it, don't let up.

"No, I don't think the political framing is the most important here. These were young girls raped by prominent men and traded around like they were things. Are you not outraged by that? If not, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

Two of my favorite facts: "snake oil" was real and worked (it was snake oil salesmen who sucked), and the whole saying is, "Jack of all trades, master of none, but in every way better than the master of one."

The next update will be on Monday. Stay tuned!
Wilson-mentum is real.

Hating myself for how much I still miss her. Stupid, right?

Hey @teenvogue.com it looks like your unsubscribe link is broken. Perhaps it broke from overuse after you fired all the women of color?

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

This motherfucker claims to not know a goddamn thing but says whatever the POS POTUS wants. Sure sounds like the definition of a puppet to me.
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

If you let someone cut in front if you in traffic and they don’t do the little hand wave as thanks, you should be legally allowed to ram their car.

There is one way out, and that is my way. Not even a highway option. Just do what I say.

Mike Johnson can fuck alllllllllll the way off.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

How much do you have to hate yourself to love that deeply shitty man?

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

If you suggest to someone who sees themselves as blameless that perhaps they share some blame, they will accuse you of putting 100% of the blame upon them

Are you actually fucking high right now? If so, on what, and can I have some?

The face of a badass that provides what little hope I gave for the future
Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Utterly untethered from reality.
Vance: "Political violence, it's just a statistical fact that it's a bigger problem on the left. If you had, god forbid, somebody on the left who was assassinated, I'm sure you could find one person who would maybe celebrate it, but the fact that it became mainstream to celebrate Charlie's death..."

Every time I hear someone call a Bari Weiss hater antisemitic, I think of this Nick Kroll/Ruxin line from The League: "And second, if I did look inward, which I won't, I think we would find that my Judaism is the least objectionable thing about me."

By "it" he means the First Amendment
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

Which means it is really a bank bailout.
I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.
