...and stop turning people away with purity tests.

Sorry, wasn’t criticizing you, just pointing out that breaking up the camps isn’t the problem since the camps aren’t much of a solution.

What happened to Murray was a travesty. He was a shitty mayor, IMO, but he was unfairly smeared by right-wing, anti-LGBTQ powers.

I was back visiting a couple weeks ago. Yeah, it’s got actual businesses you can walk to instead of graffiti-laden drug squats.

McGinn is running? I’ll say on a personal note - fuck that guy. I shoulda punched him in the mouth the one time I had a chance.

Ha! Seattle is, has, and always be allergic to city planning. They didn’t even have an office for it until the 80s.

Exactly! I loved the Puget Sound, but boy did I hate Seattle. But, it is a city that is allergic to public planning and competent management.

Actually, the camps are the problem. They do nothing to break the cycle of homelessness, and conditions in the camps (drug use, theft, sexual assault) exacerbate it as well. The real solutions are hard, costly, and not politically convenient.

I tell everyone this - if you’re moving to Seattle, or even the area, try and buy.

And that Tukwila house is likely under the SeaTac flight path if it’s only 400k.

...but enough about the Trumps!

Just going to say - this comment made my otherwise terrible weekend.

I think that depends on the groups self-identification. I see a lot of self-segregation in the Asian communities, mostly based on country of origin, that is largely independent of white society’s reaction to Asians.

Sure, and those rational, sane people will find themselves arrested, deported, or worse when they inevitably protest, investigate, or vote Democratic.

Right, but this sort of pedantry has become common and tiresome (not to mention playing into 45’s likely version of events)

Travis Air Force base in lockdown; reports of an active shooter.

I agree, but would add “does something absolutely outrageous and obviously wrong” that the GOP can’t normalize (similar to particularly damning evidenced). If he fires Mueller, cracks down on leaks, the GOP will whatever; but if he starts arresting Democratic members of congress, or suspends liberties, I imagine…

If it stays a crisis, I’ll be fine. I expect, however, if he fires Mueller it will go badly, and he will use whatever ill/extra-legal means to hold on to power he can.

Breitbart is a tough gig for a bigot: Your writing can’t have too much racism, but it can’t have no racism either. You have to find the balance of racism that’s just  right - like the Goldilocks of racism.
