Actually, Elon Musk tweeted a year ago: "If there’s ever a scandal about me, please call it Elongate"

Middleman strikes again!

God forbid the Democrats "spend" their political capital, as doing so might upset voters into switching parties! What the actual fuck are the establishment Dems smoking? Didn't they see that the other guys aren't playing by the rules and don't give a fuck about policy other than backsliding and partisan hackery and obstruction? Use the fucking tools you have or get the fuck out of the way for those that will. Stupid pieces of feckless shit.

@2: So let's have nasty extremist party on both sides. Cool.

I'm convinced the democrats are just abetting the republicans. Neither party is working for this country, it's just good cop bad cop on a national level.

@3 Have someone explain to you what extremist means, because clearly you don't know

extreme Healthcare for ALL
vs
womenfolk GOTTA have them Babies
and NO Healthcare atall
plus Fascism!

sounds Identical to me

@5: If anything, it's a word that people modulate on to make silly quips.

(oops)

@2, don't blame this shit on me. fucking democrats have no spine, meanwhile repubs are getting shit "done" for their idiot followers. one is in the game to win it, one "goes high when they go low".

pokemon go to hell.

If the high utilizers are committing multiple crimes then they damn well do belong in the criminal legal system.
And if they are so messed in the head that they are “too mentally ill to stand trial” then they are too mentally ill to ever be let out of a hospital.

We should do away with the ability for crazy people to escape the consequences of their actions by claiming they are too crazy to stand trial. If you commit the crime whether you are crazy or not should play no part in the decision to remove you from society.

I was specifically referring to the above, except replace Obama with Biden.

@12 Do you really believe we should not have voted for Joe Biden because he's "evil"? The result would have been Trump. Some folks need to grow up. When it gets to the general election, it will be either the Democrat or the Republican. And we can clearly see from the Supreme Court what the results of letting the Republicans win. We will have those consequences for years.

Will, Perhaps you should learn the difference between "disinterested" and "uninterested".

Ah, political polling. Because when you want to take the temperature of things in the modern society, there's no better way than to call some geezer who still has a land line and is sitting at home in the middle of the day, just waiting to yell their opinions into the void.

Anita Khandelwal can f' right off along with her "high utilizers" of the court system. I am so tired of the continued hand wringing over people who have continually shown they have zero regard for the rest of society. From Khandelwal's op-ed

"These actions will harm some of our community’s most vulnerable members — people who are unhoused, experiencing deep poverty, and struggling with unmet behavioral health needs."

You know what Anita? What about the other vulnerable members of our community like this woman who had the audacity to plant flowers in the city and for her effort got curbed stomped by some asshole: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/after-2-women-are-kicked-in-the-head-seattle-man-charged-with-assault/.

or maybe this woman who was just walking down the street until another of Anita's assholes hit her in the head with a bat: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/seattle-man-charged-with-assault-accused-of-hitting-a-woman-with-baseball-bat-in-belltown/

or maybe you don't care about woman at all Anita so how about this baby who did nothing and had hot coffee thrown in his face by someone who had been through restorative justice 70 times. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/man-accused-of-throwing-coffee-in-toddlers-face-days-after-release-from-jail-for-14th-assault-conviction

There are ZERO people in Seattle, including Ann Davison, who thinks a first or even fourth time offender should be put in jail but when we are talking 15, 20, 50 times at some point you have to realize its not working and that safety of the community takes precedence over someone who is incapable or unwilling to get better. It may be sad but you need to lock them away to protect the rest of us and even protect that person from themselves.

@15: Well, you're sitting at home in the middle of the day yelling stereotypes into the void.

I love the narrative that the far left has created in their heads. America did not want extremists. America was tire of Trump's shit so they got rid of him but didn't want the far left's defund the police and extreme woke nonsense. America wanted Joe Biden was supposed to be more like Manchin not AOC. Instead he embraced the far left and pretended he had an overwhelming mandate when he had a slim majority at best. When he didn't get his way he called people racists and started a Democratic version of the "Big Lie" about elections. Oh and they were surprised people didn't want to get vaccinated when the VP was questioning its effectiveness before the election.
Furthermore they have completely shit the bed with Afghanistan, inflation, supply-chain, fuel prices, and baby formula. And to complete this complete clusterfuck they are snatching defeat from the mouth of victory by pushing for abortion up to the point of birth which 18% (not a majority) supports. Most people support abortion in the 1st trimester and some 2nd trimester but restrictions on the rest.
Oh wait I forgot they created another time-bomb with ACA subsidies that they won't be able to renew because they spent all the money on other crap which helped spur inflation (soon to be stagflation) and shit on members from their own team living in States where Trump won with an overwhelming margin.

Jesus fuck Slog is a cesspool. not you, @13.

@19, not true I was at a park

@22 It truly is. The worst of the worst.

Joe BIden "embraced the far left?" What?

Here in this thread we have one MAGA dipshit screeching that Joe god damned Biden is a leftist now and another dipshit screeching that Biden and the democrats are just the same rightwing do nothings?

I mean it's like being in a room with Three Christs of Ypsilanti.

@25: They're just other points of view. I suggest magnanimousity.

@26
that's a $4 word
I'll give you a Quarter for it

final

@11 blip and @13 KEK55 for the fucking WIN, baybee!!!!

Uh, what happpened to the Slog PM from Friday? https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2022/05/20/73786913/slog-pm-city-council-looks-to-save-winter-eviction-ban-seattle-principal-demoted-and-capitol-hill-just-got-more-goth

Exactly who got polled in Joe Biden's "polling hits new low" statistic, Will? Cruelly misogynist, racist, gun-crazed MAGAs insanely gullible and dumb enough to ecstatically vote for the Orange Turd against their best interests TWICE, while violently threatening to overthrow the U.S. Government by claiming the 2020 election was "stolen"?
