pdonahue commented on The Theater of King Street Station.

As someone who was involved in the demolition of the old ceiling and electrical system, the moment I saw the old ceiling revealed I knew the place was going to be a public gathering marvel. Now if we can shut off the automated AMTRAK security video, the process can begin.

wow, I wish I had a clever fake name to post personal insults and keep me completely unaccountable for what I say, would you say these things in real life? #8 and #6 act as if the personal attitude of the resistors got them in jail, and that our judicial system is some kind of grade school detention room for load mouths and misfits, I don't even see this dumbing down of discourse on Reddit.

http://q13fox.com/2013/04/02/independent…. For all of the slog posters who keep thinking the people 'in charge' of law-n-order had a plan when they went after the grand jury resisters, or for that matter had a clue on May Day it self: read the above cited independent inquiry.
In particular, the scene commander who waded into a crowd of protestors unsupported by his tactical team in a show of bravado instead of maintaining communications between units. Makes Occupy Seattle general assembly decisions seem downright orderly. I hope your faith is restored in the foresight and planning of armed law enforcement and upholders of public safety like the 9th district prosecutors.

pdonahue commented on Another Republican US Senator Backs Marriage Equality.

Marriage is a conservative issue, of course the GOP is caving on same sex marriage, they are hearing from young people that its a new demographic that they can win to their side. Better to assimilate the LGBT conservative community than keep turning away new talent (and money) when they sorely need it.

http://www.changelabinfo.com/2013/03/25/… "The fundamentally conservative nature of the marriage contract is why, I think, younger conservatives are growing more supportive of same sex marriage" part of the message is that if conservative justices are interested in it, something is up. As an ex-husband I do not recommend anyone getting married, I mean.... log cabin republicans like Dan Savage could get married if they want to, what ever, but marriage, like joining the army, is not what they say it is.
I suppose LGBT people could turn it around, I doubt it, more likely they will be assimilated into the mold marriages are designed to create; a social contract that creates shared values. Good luck with that.

http://www.changelabinfo.com/2013/03/25/… "Marriage is a conservative issue" yeah, like Goldy wrote a while ago. Gay people are about to be introduced to the hell that straight people have experienced for years, oh yeah LGBT people, your troubles have just begun.....

pdonahue commented on Homeland Security Apparently Calls "No Givebacks!" on Seattle's Unwanted Police Drones.

Surplus drones shouldn't be a problem to move at the right price, I got my eye on the Tunnel Boring Machine they put in to the waterfront tunnel. Who's gonna want that when they finish?

pdonahue commented on Rethinking the US Economy: Part 2.

http://www.demos.org/heather-c-mcghee. Imna double down and say the reason why no substantive change in our economic system since the crash of '08 is the locking down of our legislative & judicial process by the plutocrats via campaign financing, Citizens United, ect. Looking down the barrel of another populist economic reform like after the LAST guilded age, economic studies have been infiltrated with junk science, politicians legally bribed, media managed to create the 'austerity crisis' that places stock market health over wage inequality.
Brace yourselves, the lid on the boiling crab pot only stays on for so long.......
