Seattle has done it we have elected a mayor who is a college dropout, has a awful resume and publicly stated she is in still getting money from her parents for living expenses.

How can this city sink so low to accept anyone without a proven record of success.
Careful you might be called a sexist and misogynist

No evidence that Trump is one and no evidence that Biden is one as the right like to make that point with his creepy weird behaviour around kids and I will call them out on it.



Need to start having civil debates instead of insults. Both sides.

I can respect that and thanks for not calling me a pedophile or a trump whatever, you got control not like that other poster lol.
We have seen dumb-ass social democratic politicians win when enough people feel fed up with recent regressive gov’t decisions or arrogance. EG: taking away free transit options or upping rates for low income residents in Seattle. So it is easy at times of electorate outrage for nitwit socialists like Katie to sneak in with free everything promises, pandering to the lowest social denominator, and tax the employer mantra. Same happens when the socialists eventually fuck things up and the electorate swings back to more extreme macro-economic policy promoters.

Happens at the federal level too. Hating Trump has become an unhealthy addiction, and all the flagrant memes won’t fix stupid in either party. The Rep’s will need to start looking at re-balancing and leadership renewal post-Trump, even though they can’t signal it just yet. And moreso, the Dem’s need a complete fucking party overhaul and smarter, more moderate leaders to raise up. Right now, they have no real leadership or vision, just vitriol. At least the word salad of woke policy priorities has toned down, and we are seeing the rhetoric get back to social imperatives like healthcare and wages.

For me, the most disturbing thing about the new Seattle Mayor is not how ridiculous the person or the outcome is, but rather it is another example of the continuing large political pendulum swings toward unbalanced extreme positions that represent emotional salvation, but offer false/unsustainable solutions and further social polarization.

Diplomacy is Dead. The inmates are running the asylum, and we the people put them there.

The Darkest Hours Are Before The Dawn

California stops sending tax revenue to Washington—why fund a government that hates you? New York follows suit. Illinois, Oregon, Washington state—they all realize they’re subsidizing their own oppression. The federal government, broke from lost wars and fleeing dollars, can’t enforce compliance.

Not violent collapse but exhausted dissolution....federal government, like Gorbachev’s Kremlin, simply becomes irrelevant. States stop listening, regions form their own arrangements...
The empire doesn’t fall—it evaporates.

Not the first time anyone said centralized authority breeds corruption. No more empires.

...investigation revealed several findings, including Chinese communist regime subsidizes state mining companies with tens of billions of dollars...

Beijing also established a legal framework governing mineral price reporting, giving the ability to raise and lower prices to favor China national security interests...

...selling products significantly below existing market prices to put competition out of business.

So it would seem that the "files" are being released.
However:
Epstein Files: The "Caveat" Explained
The term "caveat" in the context of the Epstein files refers to important limitations or warnings about how the documents should be interpreted. Key caveats include:

  1. Mentions ≠ Guilt: Being named in flight logs, contact lists, or depositions does not prove involvement in Epstein’s crimes. It only confirms association or contact.
  2. Privacy Protections: Documents are redacted to protect victims’ identities and uncharged individuals from reputational harm, as required by law.
  3. "Phony Stuff" Claim: Former President Trump, when discussing releasing the files, added a caveat that he wouldn’t want to harm people if the information was false, implying some allegations may be unverified.
  4. Legal Constraints: Courts have ruled that releasing grand jury materials won’t serve transparency if they don’t reveal new criminal information, limiting what can be disclosed.

That being said, I predict that very little of substance will be "released".

Wedding & Paradkar

Coquitlam BC 2002 ex-Olympic snowboarder Ryan James Wedding believed hiding in Mexico and remains on Federal Bureau of Investigation Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, with the State Department increasing its reward to up to $15 million for information leading to Ryan Wedding’s arrest.

…describes Wedding as “an extremely violent criminal believed to be responsible for the murder of numerous people abroad, including U.S. citizens,” who “continues to direct drug trafficking, murder, and other serious criminal activities” from Mexico while on the run. The sanctions designation outlines a trans-Atlantic laundering system that moves proceeds through cryptocurrency, high-end cars and motorcycles, and front companies on three continents.

Wedding’s lawyer, 62-year-old Thornhill, Ont., resident Deepak Balwant Paradkar, is listed among those in custody. The dual Indian-Canadian citizen’s co-accused include:

Edgar Aaron Vázquez Alvarado, a former Mexican law-enforcement officer known as “the General,” who allegedly uses sources within Mexican police agencies to locate targets for Wedding and owns fuel-sector companies in Mexico;
Miryam Andrea Castillo Moreno, Wedding’s wife, accused of laundering his drug proceeds and assisting in acts of violence;
Carmen Yelinet Valoyes Florez, a Colombian running a high-end prostitution ring in Mexico who allegedly assisted with the murder of a federal witness;
Daniela Alejandra Acuña Macias, a Colombian national described as Wedding’s girlfriend, accused of collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars from him and helping obtain intelligence on rivals;
Deepak Balwant Paradkar, the Canadian attorney who Treasury says provided “illegal services” beyond a normal lawyer-client relationship, including introducing Wedding to key traffickers, helping with bribery and murder, and allowing Wedding to eavesdrop on privileged calls with other clients he allegedly wanted to kill;
Rolan Sokolovski, a Toronto jeweler who Treasury alleges laundered millions through his “Diamond Tsar” business and cryptocurrency transfers; and
Gianluca Tiepolo, an Italian former special-forces member who allegedly helped Wedding park his money in exotic vehicles and ran tactical training camps for hitmen.

…a senior U.S. source insisted there has been a troubling lack of RCMP collaboration in probing Wedding’s networks. Not only did the RCMP allegedly stonewall Drug Enforcement Administration requests six years ago to crack down on Canadian trucking routes tied to Wedding’s shipments through the United States, the source said, but there was also a lack of cooperation in targeting his violent cells inside Canada…
