Fuck off

Huh. I would have thought that Tim Eyman would be an Alex Tsimerman voter.

In 1999 I was living in a studio apartment and riding a 1974 Triumph motorcycle. Your $30 tab initiative raised the cost of my tabs $12, asswipe.

Tim, please move to Idaho or Arkansas or really anywhere else.

Is this real life?

Why are you giving this waste of oxygen editorial space?

And she's right: you ARE the village idiot. In fact, I'd go so far as to say you're the KING of village idiots.

As @1 said: fuck off, Tim. Nobody gives a shit what you think about anything, especially about a mayoral election in a city where you're not even a resident.

I thought you were in jail.

Is there a journalistic value to giving this guy the stage? It seems the point is to generate outrage. Isn't this one of the problems with the Stranger that Ijeoma Oluo identified when she explained why she's no longer going to freelance for the Stranger?

John Stuart Mill made a strong argument for freedom of opinion in "On Liberty". It's worth a google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Liberty

Tim Eyman is an entitled, self-serving piece of shit, grifting off the initiative system for more than a decade. He's lazy and does not care if any of his initiatives passes or not. Doesn't matter if they pass, don't pass, or are later found unconstitutional; he makes money either way. If he ever stopped pimping initiatives for cash, he'd be homeless.

Tim Eyman is a parasitic shitstain on democracy, and represents the worst impulses of craven greed. He is the TV scamvangelist of politics, and not even a very good one.

I can only hope that some day one of his initiative scams will land him in jail and give us all a respite for a while.

Why the hell should people who don't live in the ST catchment area have a vote on how we tax ourselves? It's ridiculous. You want to run the initiative in King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties, that might (might) make sense. But why should some yob in Ferry County have a say? Oh, Tim bleats, it's TOO HARD to just let the taxed masses vote - let's let all the people east of the Cascades, who hate Seattle, who don't pay the tax, tell us we can't tax ourselves to pay for stuff we want.

But it's nice to see you getting use to the jailhouse orange, bud. Hold that thought.

So bloody wonderful Tim Eyman is dropping sorties into the Stranger. I thought Tim Eyman had signatures to gather, not places to place his mug shot on.

Serves Jenny Durkan right to have to wear the love of a Trump voter. You all DO know Durkan represented in court another politician whom many believe had an election stolen on this politician's behalf right?

Mary "Marummy" Lane Strow must just be having a cold, thick milkshake enjoying the sweet TLC of her husband Chris right now under the Seattle political fireworks show on her front lawn... I'm sure Marummy, Jr and Chris, Jr are just loving the bright colors going off.

Moving on, Sound Transit fans are going to let off some of our own rhetorical fireworks next Thursday at 1 PM on the steps of Sound Transit headquarters: https://www.facebook.com/events/25843241… . Wanna bet Timmy shows up offering free hugs to hot mainstream media babes with big manes and bigger TV cameras? Perhaps wearing a New England Deflatriots or Santa Clara Fourty Whiners cap?

In the meantime, we got a Sound Transit Offense to defend. A Karen Kitsis needing time and space to throw the ST3 ball. A Jessyn Farrell needing a jersey and a Sound Transit Board seat. We got work to do. Pete Carroll would say, "It's about us getting ready to play. It's not about the other team. We'll beat ourselves before they beat us. That's always our approach."

It better be ours.

Brilliant move, Tim Keck, getting Tim Eyman to write what might as well be your Jenny Durkan hit piece for you. One self-serving asshole helping out another!

This is so juvenile. Giving this jackass a platform solely because you want to use his association to tarnish Durkan.

I don't want her to win, either, but this tactic just makes you look incredibly petty.

No @david jw, this is just showing Tim Eyman's true colors...

Didn't read the op-ed and skipped straight to the comments? Let me quickly summarize it for you:

"TIIIMMMMMAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!"

Also Tim what's your net worth? Nothing to less than that I'll bet. And you must be what, 55 or 60 years old? It's so weird that guys like you can get so much juice flowing toward goofy political bullshit but can't scratch a couple of nickels together. All the skills you display - organizing, motivating, writing, selling, persistence, elbow grease. And at the end of the day you don't have fucking shit to show for it. At your core you must be a really sorry sort of mentally broken asshole, because everyone I know who's got your skill set is gonna retire rich and happy.

Just when I thought The Stranger could not sink any lower. . .

Tim Dear, you should hear what the rest of us call you.

Mr Eyman, you've been running this scam for longer than most of us have been alive. Shouldn't you go get, like, A JOB?

What kompromat does Eyman have on the Stranger that they'd take this 5th grade self-congratulatory essay and publish it? Isn't that the Seattle Times' go to?

Hah! Good joke, Stranger.

Tim Eyman hates democracy. He believes people who vote to tax themselves need to be nannied from Olympia because they're too stupid to know what they're doing. Week, he believes that so long as he can scam a living from it.
