What do you mean "Hmm"? Keeping the police chief to maintain a semblance of continuity in a transition is a good thing. And as you wrote, he was cleared of wrong doing. So why did you even mention it Yip?

Trump whining about no Europeans moving here is basically applying incel logic to immigration. Why aren't any wife material immigrants attracted to Nice Guy USA?

I was in North Bend yesterday and it is flooooooooded. There was also a landslide right after we left.

@1 Catalina Vel-DuRay: My beloved Love Beetle tucked away safely in hibernation and I are fine where we are, but yes---everyone stay warm, dry, and safe. It really is crazy out there.

@2 kristofarian: Hopefully the usual trolling idiots actually surprise us all and heed your warning.
(One sorry exception being Sillyputty knife @5).

@4 kristofarian: I would SO love to see Felon Mu$k's Mein Trumpf and its KKKrooked KKKrime SyndiKKKate sink under its own raw sewage, never to be seen or heard from again. Their own Hell awaits them. When the Earth becomes increasingly uninhabitable because of MAGA greed, they'll suffer the most by being the last to go.
And the Fall of the MAGA Moron Empire won't be pretty, either.

@5: Wow, Sillyputty knife---for so long-winded a novel you as usual have nothing to say. I knew to scroll down. Bored much? Basement flooding? Bummer, dude. I hope you have good home insurance.

@7~Excellent point!

if you point your AK-47 at 'em)

@4 kristofarian: To clarify, what I meant is that I don't want to live long enough to see the cruel end of the Earth, but witness instead what the Felon Mu$k's Mein Trumpf KKKorporate Empire richly deserve.
Before I die may economic, democratic, environmental, and reproductive justice be truly served upon this worst administration ever in the history of this benighted KKKountry.

@11: My goodness, thanks for that caveat and clarification! We would have been very worried otherwise!

"It costs immigrants and their employers $1 million each."

Sounds like uber-progressive Quebec, or European Union Member Austria.

Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs are not that uncommon.

I am ambivalent about them. Of course Trump's CBI will probably benefit him directly in some fashion. Fuck that.

@12: KKKoolie dear, go eat your kerfuffle paste like an obedient little MAGA bot.
Just remember when the wastewater rises to get yourself out of your mom's basement ASAP.
We wouldn't want you to drown like a gurgling sewer rat.

@12: Oh, never mind. I keep forgetting that that's exactly what trolling idiots like you actually want.

@5 Wait... are you saying that "White antifa" chased this black kid down and killed him? Once again. I don't think you understand what antifa means.

Also, why do you think the Stranger would intentionally skipping an article about how shitty the police are? That's pretty on brand for them.

@13, there's nothing in Trump's Gold Card visa scam that requires any kind of investment. It's simply another import tax that goes straight into Miscellaneous Receipts at Treasury. It will likely prove popular with Russian oligarchs (and their bodyguards) once Trump drops them off the sanctions roster.

@15: Na, it's your endearing naiveté beneath your Madam Defarge crustiness that is irresistible to your admirers not to showcase.

@18, Precisely. $200,000 going to the U.S. government would get spent somewhere, so it's not nothing; however, its not the direct investment that would be most beneficial. Also, if you can pay $200,000 in free cash to get in, it likely means much more net worth, which now that your in, has to be invested somewhere, so it probably winds up invested in the U.S., which is the safest risk adjusted return environment on the planet.

That's too many "ifs" and "maybes" for my taste.

It's just Trump being a racist ass; however, just because Trump is misusing a CBI, does not invalidate the concept.

Loud and proud, card-carrying ANTIFA right here, only the wokest fonts please.

Why the fuck would I be profa when my grandpa fought the fascists in WW2? What kind of red blooded American would aid and abet the enemy's evil ideology if they honor the troops and the Constitution? A bunch of sellout shitbags who have no love for America, only money. Cowards and weaklings sell out this proud nation for empower the lowest of the low. I have seen enough of this scum running America off a cliff. Just say no to these fuckers. Just say no to fascists.

@23. So our World War 2 solidiers were terrorists and the Nazis were the good guys? Sure says a lot about you.

I'm confused. I thought Drizzle was a fascist; loves central planning and politicized economies, hates Israel, belongs to and supports violent political street gangs, enjoys political assasinations. I could go on. Perhaps she is a self loathing fascist. Fascinating!

@25. That's just the dementia talking. You'll get used to it while sorting through the newspaper carvings of your glory days.

@25 "I'm confused."

You could have just stopped there you didn't need to go on and prove it

Criminals are as criminals do. What is a crime must adapt to uphold civil society through the honest witness of truth and justice. If we do not hold the most powerful accountable, we will become enslaved. To man, machine, or money. Only faith in freedom can set us free. That is progress. That is America. And I am advocating for our rights that my blood fought and died for on this soil for generations, and a republic and a democracy are what makes us connected to every society in the past that fucked it up. If we lie we lose our experience and delete our security. The time has come to say no. Enough. Take the toys away from these fools. It is incumbent on our honor as Americans of all races who fought and died and gave blood and treasure innumerable to uphold in the flag. I will be a monkey's uncle sooner than see your bitchass dumbass punk shitbag ass pollute that legacy with your truly foreign word salad cess pool drain slime made posts and badnouth my country you conniving fuckbag.

God bless America and you can go to hell, fascist hateful scumbags.

"Whenever libs & progs realize that DEI got us Trump."

Coolidge dear, I hope you did some stretches before you attempted that leap.

It wasn't DEI. It was good, old-fashioned American racism and sexism. Our original sins, as it were.

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

The crownless again shall be king.

@17 My reading comprehension is just fine. You literally don't know what the word antifa means if you think it means we're racist and want to go kill black people. You're the racist one that wants to kill black people, my dude. Also, whoops. You accidentally posted under both your accounts. Great job, fuckwad.

@38: Well, remember that POS Senator James E. Clyburn South Carolina told Biden in order to get his support to win the SC primary in 2020 that he had to have a black woman as his VP.

What was needed was an alpha male to go against Trump. America already elected a black man twice for president and a woman for president in 2016, so we've been in a post--racial society since 2008.

If you horrible democrats don't learn from this lesson we are definitely remain burdened by what has been.

@49...
Suuure, you did.

48, No, he promised biden his primary endorsement if he would agree to put a black woman on the supreme court, but that’s just a guy exchanging one back-scratch for another like any other day in DC. DEI is a set of policies to help workplaces maintain a healthy culture for everyone, but to conservatives it means giving an unfair advantage to unqualified minorities. Anyway Biden won that election so I don’t see how your tortured interpretation of DEI is the problem.

@52: No, it really was VP.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/07/politics/clyburn-biden-black-woman-running-mate-cnntv

His mentality is the same as DEI - a set of misguided polices regardless of how much you and your woke ilk praise its virtues.

"Anyway Biden won that election so I don’t see how your tortured interpretation of DEI is the problem."

Because a capable VP later running for president, even if was Bernie Sanders of all people, would have solidly beaten Donald Trump.

It was both — the scotus nomination was the primary endorsement deal and the vp selection was clyburn’s recommendation. But that’s neither here nor there because you’re just restating my point that DEI is just another way of saying you think black women are inherently unqualified.

The democrats’ biggest problem in 2024 was biden refusing to listen to voters and allow for a primary, but yes there are also lots of Americans like you who think women and minorities are not qualified to run the country. I personally don’t think any democrat was going to run away with the election given the lacking primary, but again this is beside the point because we’re just agreeing for like the 3rd or 4th time now that DEI is just a polite slur for you. I genuinely do not understand what you think you’re disproving by restating this over and over again.

@54: Stop with you putting words in my mouth, I never said that black women are inherently unqualified - inferred or otherwise. Just face it, you lose arguments so you resort to lies and insults.

You said harris was selected purely based on her demographics. You said democrats would have won if they ran an “alpha male” (lol) in 2024, oblivious to the unprecedented circumstances of biden dropping out 4 months ahead of the election. You said democrats will continue to lose if they don’t learn from their experience of nominating a “DEI” candidate.

I don’t know how else to interpret these statements besides your belief that white men are the only truly qualified candidates. At best i could say you are offering a sober assessment of the racism and sexism of the average american voter, except you aren’t presenting these facts as a critique or a problem to solve but a rational argument against nominating women and minorities in future elections.

There is nothing to lose here because this isn’t an argument. I am just reading back to you your own statements and telling you how it looks from my perspective and it’s not cute.

@56: Now you're backpedaling to "You said harris was selected purely based on her demographics" from "is just another way of saying you think black women are inherently unqualified".

You think you're safe and above board with the caveat "I don’t know how else to interpret" but it only reinforces your insufferable obnoxiousness, and it's not cute.

Not sure how you could read that entire comment and assume I’m backpedaling. I stand by my every word but i understand why you don’t have the guts to stand by yours. You want to be just racist enough to get your point across but leave yourself enough wiggle room to deny it.

@58: Oooooooh, I triggered you! This is fascinating. More popcorn please!

Not clear what you think triggered means or fascinating for that matter because I’m just telling you your racist comments are racist and it’s kind of boring actually

Like what? Provide an example.

If you haven’t figured it out by now explaining it a 5th time won’t do any good. Sadly one of the key features of being racist is being too dumb to understand what’s wrong with you.

Just what everyone expects from you. Obfuscations, language manipulations, typecasting are the only things you know. Not to mention having folks prove a negative.

By the way, are you a racist?

like arguing

2x4

@64: Tell me about it!

@19:....said the KKKool-Aid slurping MAGA fool who can't even keep the comments straight, and has to parrot the usual gang of trolling idiots.
I'm not among the naive forever buying Felon Mu$k's Mein Trumpf's Turd Reich level fascism. You are.
Get out while you still can. Find a new, less stressful line of work before you go over the side, too.

KKKoolie, KKKoolie, whatcha gonna do,
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

@64 kristofarian: Just like tensy, KKKoolie keeps getting hit with a 2x4 every time he comments.
Like Chip Diller in National Lampoon's Animal House, they're hot for Douglas C. Neidermeyer:
"Thank you, sir! May I have another?"
I guess it's supposed to help keep 'em in lockstep, however MAGA-blindsided.
