African warlord/witch doctor, all the tropes live in his head.

Right? I was reading an article about it to my Mama (who lived there for years) when it first started and she just kept giggling and calling it "the most Seattle thing" she'd ever seen.

He is a Koch whore and a fellow at the Cato institute think tank also a member in good standing of the loathsome Heritage foundation.

From a review of Jane Mayer's book Dark Money:

The Daily Caller was founded by financial investor Foster Friess, a major Koch donor who has attended many of the Kochs' annual summits and donated at least $1 million to conservative causes that the Kochs support. Friess provided $3 million in seed funding to The Daily Caller, a conservative website which, according to Mayer, has “functioned more as an outlet for opposition research paid for by the donor class.” Charles Koch's foundation would later back the website, and the Daily Caller News Foundation is currently listed as a “partner organization” of the Charles Koch Institute. Tucker Carlson, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Daily Caller, also has other ties to the Kochs: He joined the Cato Institute in 2009, which the Koch brothers co-founded, and he is currently listed as a senior fellow there. The Cato Institute has received millions of dollars from the Koch family, and David Koch currently sits on Cato's board of directors. Mayer notes that The Daily Caller was “the chosen receptacle” for the Kochs' retaliatory attacks on her after The New Yorker published an exposé she wrote on the Kochs in 2010.

I'm hoping this doesn't turn into another Zuccotti Park.....in that it attracts radicals from all over the US, many of whom just want to be part of the experience and have nothing to add to the conversation, other than perhaps adding "demands" to the general police reform agenda, demands that Seattle and the state of Washington cannot possibly meet, so the thing gets bigger and messier and uglier until the police HAVE to move in for basic public health reasons....

Knowing Seattle, in a couple of months it'll quietly get negotiated peacefully.

Like Freemont? Alright, nothing to worry about then.

I have not heard of a single naked bicycle rider yet in CHAZ.

My math tells me 1000-5000 could end up dying from that fucking rally.

Funny how Faux wound up using the exact same photo of the exact same armed & masked protestor(?) in the exact same pose, as the top layer on two different photoshop scare jobs. Probably figured their viewers would all be too busy soiling themselves in fear that the AnTEEfa have taken over Washington State if not the whole pacific northwest and are mere days away from rolling into Podunk Ioway to set up mandatory tofu huts and lesbian Wiccan vegan-run re-education camps to notice.

The closest thing to a nekkid bicyclist that I’ve ever seen was a Halloween participant who was dressed in a bicycle crank and shoes. This was many years ago in Madison.

That's because 'how little the Radical Left takeover of Seattle is being discussed in the Fake News Media'. I'm sure the place is secretly rife with them.

Can one run for governor while in prison?
