www.seattletimes.com/nation-world... Are we at war? Are we obliterating the same stuff we destroyed earlier? Bummer that a previous president destroyed the peace deal we had with Iran.

Some folks were talking about things we noticed as children. In my world if you talked about Speedracer you had cable TV. The rest of us had 2 channels to choose from. I knew that they weren't all rich, but it was a demarcation. I bet you had different ones.

My favorite restaurant in Chongqing. Maybe all of China.

There used to be a time in America when r_ping children was frowned upon and it was hard to get elected if you were even rumored to be a pedophile. In MAGA America it seems more like a requirement.

In MAGA math a 2.2% growth in GDP is higher/better than 2.8% because a) the dear leader says so, and/or b) Biden was president during the 2.8% More MAGA winning, the under staffed and funded national parks have to remove climate change and references to first nations.

www.seattletimes.com/opinion/neta... I'm not shocked that a foreign leader has played Trump.

Maybe it's just me, but a) communism and socialism are not <> equal/same, b) there are 2 types of government, fascism and democracy with many flavors, 3) single party governments are fascist and 4) a balance between capitalism and socialism is vital 4 long-term success. Please vote.

If Iran and Iraq are in the "middle east" and China and Japan are in the Far East... just were is the Near East? Where is India? That looks like the middle to me and Isreal is the near east. Sorry, but this stupid stuff bugs me.

www.seattletimes.com/news/us-futu... MAGA is making Asia great! Companies around the world continue to find trade partners outside the US. MAGA winning?

Earlier in a conversation the Magna Carta came up. I was pretty sure I knew what the point was but decided to double check. I saw something I liked in what I found. Core Principle: It established the Rule of Law, meaning the sovereign is not above the law.

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... MAGA doesn't want you to vote. They only want rich white men to have power. Vote for democracy America.

www.seattletimes.com/business/jpm... A lot of others should be doing the same. Do you want to support the man who ends our democracy?

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... MAGA winning! Canadian money staying in Canada.

www.seattletimes.com/nation-world... Mitchell should pay IF he is guilty, but what surprises me is that he is getting attacked when Trump is the STAR of the Epstein files. If guilty they should all pay. Take their names off buildings and a lot more.

www.seattletimes.com/business/wha... You aren't getting a rebate check, Congress won't act to stop him, and a small number of people will get richer as a result. Not the millions who paid higher prices and have less money today, but some of the wealthiest 0.5%.

Remember when Trump lied over 30,000 times during his first 4 years? Anything change? More lies?

www.seattletimes.com/opinion/84-y... FDR was a good leader and president but this is unforgivable. If you think we've had perfect leaders in the past dig a little deeper. Vote. Please vote America. Vote for democracy.

www.seattletimes.com/opinion/edit... She won't resign and MAGA doesn't care what she does. Will Congress? Seems highly unlikely. MAGA, making America more like 1726 daily.

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... I don't plan on watching him lie, attack people and/or sow dissent

I doubt most Americans need to be told this, but many Americans and others compete for other countries in the Olympics, World Cup, baseball and more. Sometimes it's because they have strong family ties or maybe they have a better chance of getting to the championship with the other nation. Freedom!

Happy New Year

Trump Said He’d End the War in Ukraine in a Day. It’s Harder Than He Thought. - The New York Times share.google/jXqu1A5mIWhH... Remember when Trump said he would end the war in just 1 day? More lies or is the war over and we just don't know it?

www.seattletimes.com/nation-world... More MAGA transparency. Winning? Is this the democracy Jefferson envisioned?

My VPN will only connect well enough for streaming from Hong Kong, Tokyo and Melbourne. TUBI is just about all I can get to work from these markets. Any suggestions for TUBI Australia?

Didn't it used to be illegal for the president to tell military members how to vote? Or am I just picturing a world in which a president would avoid politics when speaking to the troops?

Seahawk quarterbacks like Darnold, Zorn, Krieg, Kitna, Hasselbeck, Wilson and Smith. Not a lot of college superstars and 1st round draft picks. Some were clear nobodies, career backups, etc.

I've encouraged my son not to break the law. As I understand it this is the right thing to do. For MAGA, if we encourage our military members to do the same and NOT follow ILLEGAL orders, policies, etc this is somehow unpatriotic. Color me confused. Only a cult member could follow the logic.

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.

MAGA is rooted in hatred and fear. Members of the cult want a strong leader to tell them what to do, what to wear, and most importantly that it is acceptable to hate. Many of us were encouraged to listen to the "better angel." These folks want permission to listen to their little devil.

When you love free speech just not like that

Enjoyed the Super Bowl from China. #GoHawks Walker, Witherspoon, Meyers and Dickinson MVP Twelves around the world are happy.

Marist made a well deserved special graphic for Jason Myers.

Jason Myers now holds the RECORD for most field goals in a Super Bowl as well as most points scored in a single season + postseason 🤯 #SBLX

Almost time for the rave green Gatorade #GoHawks

Meyers is winded. #GoHawks

Patriots kicker is fresh. Only 2 kicks. Seahawks getting every penny for Meyers. Seahawks 22. #GoHawks

Turnover baby! ##GoHawks

Touchdown Seahawks! #GoHawks

Turnover baby! #GoSeahawks

Watching the Super bowl in China is a great early Monday morning thing. Go Seahawks. #GoHawks

www.seattletimes.com/business/vot... MAGA sees an opportunity for profit regardless of how the American people feel and goes for greed. Greed is a MAGA Christian value.

WA state tax plan, replace the sales tax with an income and an estate tax. No statewide corp tax. Income, the 1st $60K is deducted. 9.9% at $399K. Estate tax, deduct the 1st $600K, up to 11.1% at $3M. Put more money into the hands of consumers. Create jobs through spending.

America First! Except if you are a country run by a leader who is willing to kiss the dear leaders booty, then you get $40B. I see we are sending $6M to Cuba. Cutting off their VZ oil has had a significant impact on their economy but Trump doesn't care and MAGA is about America First!

Watched a film about divorce, something I have had too much experience with, but it left me missing mom and dad for some reason. If you still have parents around say hello.

RFK and MAGA claim another victory and victim as a child dies due to raw milk. "The most likely source of the infection was unpasteurized milk." Raw milk can contain several disease causing germs, including listeria. Pasteurization was created due to the illness and death from drinking raw milk.

Leaving out exactly where this is, I am in China now and across from me has what appears to be a Ukrainian flag or at least the colors in a window. Maybe a bold political statement in this nation.

Siloed information distribution system. The truth is out there. Is there a chance at reason and compromise?

I see that Kim has executed children for watching Squid Game. Has Trump expressed either envy or outrage? I'm leaning towards envy for him. Watching SG and listening to BTS shouldn't be illegal let alone worthy of the death penalty, but in a fascist state you are at the whim of the dictator.

As a young teen I had a wide range of music to listen to. My older brother had turned me onto The Doors, Cream, CCR, and more. I found Karen Carpenter and 3 Dog Night. I loved to sing along with Chuck and the boys. Sorry to see that Mr. Negron has passed. One. Thank you sir.

Gosh darn Democrats... Amazon, T-MOBILE and more announcing layoffs. Can't be a MAGA issue. Winning?
