Being aware of something doesn't equate to recalling it at 6am + a baby + a 6 year old that needs to get ready for school :coffee:

There's something amusing to me about the Trump thread rather than USPOL being the thread talking aggressively about a human blobs sexual interests.

DeBlasio is ahead by double-digits in all the primary polls. His approval has tanked, though. He's still in the positive, but it is close to 50/50 instead of the 70/30 he used to be at.

Sal (his primary challenger) is literally running on a campaign of "I will do everything that DeBlasio does, but I will manage it better and be nicer to cops."

I missed this when it came out of committee in July, but NYMag has my back with a post today... a nice reminder of :siren:gently caress PAUL RYAN:siren:

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/09/the-gop-wants-the-irs-to-crack-down-on-the-working-poor.html

The GOP proposes to improve the deficit by decreasing "improper" EITC payouts by requiring verification of all income before benefits go out. To accomplish 28m miniaudits, the understaffed IRS would pretty well have to cut back on rich people's enforcement (most figures say that $1 in enforcement on that top end brings $6 in recovered revenues). Overpayment on the EITC on the other hand, averages a couple hundred per erroneous report.

gently caress with the poor so that the rich can get a free pass and the government is drained of revenues. Sounds about right.

It's not that they have a record of getting thrown out or anything but Michael McGinn only lasted one term, which isn't indicative of anything. They're just very lukewarm and I have to wonder if the Seattle Times doesn't play a part in that.

Short answer: The first four happened at the same time, he said he wasn't going to run for re-election as a result and suddenly the cases were dropped. Then the primaries happened and we get a woman mayor or a woman mayor and this one popped up.

From what I understand there was a chorus of he only has a few months anyway and it'll cripple the city if there's no mayor in the interim, which I am skeptical of.

Ed Murray is gay, which adds another dimension to it. None of these allegations were known when he ran for mayor. Also, most people thought the first 4 accusers were lying because they have criminal records, either (which is hosed up, but entirely expected considering how the US treats any African American victim of a police shooting).
