Wapo, helping Trump destroy America.
Retired corporate whore. Post about bicycling, photography, scale modeling, some politics. I live in Ashland, Oregon with a spouse, a daughter, and a rascally black lab named Oliver. Profile pic is November sunrise in the eastern Sierra.

Wapo, helping Trump destroy America.
But honoring someone who committed violence on J6 is OK.
At least you didn't take a leak.
Mostly, accessing a bank account or getting many services requires a mobile phone.
I'm liking the word "retribution" more and more.
More of this.
I’m growing weary of being lectured to by other Dems. Get the traitors out first then we can talk about YOUR issue. And maybe show up to vote this time, unh?
It's puzzling because it doesn't happen.
I often refer to it to others as the "dooring lane."

Literally everything he says here he pulled out of his ass.
WWII did not end with a negotiation. At least not with the enemy. But he knows that.
Just like the millions of Democrats who didn’t vote, the Senate Dems who voted for this fucking own it.
I did SPDs on both bikes for a while but my knees really like my Speedplays on my road bike. I think it's the different q factors between bikes. But regardless I'm back to clomping around when roading.
It's time for Democrats to commit to NOT snatching defeat from the jaws of victory . . . AGAIN.
Neurology canceled my referral after six months because they said I wasn't sick enough after reading my primary care's chart. At least I have primary care. Many around here can't get one.
Oh yeah . . .
Being a cyclist makes me hyper-aware as a driver, yet I still make stupid driving errors. Which in turn makes me more aware as a cyclist.
Agree this fight is getting boring. I used to commute in Lycra and change because it was more comfortable. And I don’t remember anyone judging motorists for not having a “practical” reason. Ffs.
I don't get the "distraction" stuff about Epstein. Trump isn't doing things to "distract" from Epstein. He doesn't give a shit about Epstein. If his name is in there 10 gazillion times, MAGA and the Repubs in Congress don't care. The Agenda proceeds, Epstein or not.
I think maybe you misspelled "didn't care whether" he was capable. 😜
Indeed!
As someone in the thread noted, none of these cities are on the West Coast.
Gawd Rubio’s asshole must hurt. Not that I feel sorry for him.

When resistance becomes retribution, I'll be here for it if I have to dig my way out of my fucking grave.
Hear! Hear! A thousand times Hear! Hear!
Probably Biden's fault. Or maybe Obama's. Hell, let's blame the late Jimmy Carter.
I'd be surprised if fewer than 90% of Mississippi teens know how to acquire and use a VPN.
I'm sure that will have her quaking in her boots.
There are proven approaches to addressing the homeless issue in American cities that result in lower overall costs than does arrest and incarceration.
Happy gay people really piss them off, too.
And nobody ever suggests that sidewalk users should PaY THeiR FaIR SHARe!
You'll love it.
We might consider, maybe, sometime, normalizing FUCKING VOTING.
Agree but also thanks 15 million Dems who didn't vote.
Love the mockery.
I commit to using codswallop more.
He knows better.
Even a hummingbird has to lighten the load sometimes. #birds
He knows he’s lying.
This is awesome.
You've heard that stupid saying "Don't wrestle a pig because you get dirty and the pig likes it?" Guess what? You better get your pig wrestling clothes on.
All the people screaming "BUT THAT'S ILLEGAL!" Tell me, how are you going to stop it? These people are changing the fundamental nature of our country using extra-legal means. We're going to have to use extra-legal means to get it back.
One of my fellow riders enjoys the view toward the end of a hot, tough 38 mile gravel ride near the mountain lakes in Southern Oregon Sunday. Climbing over deadfalls, gnarly downhills, and brush obstructed barely double track was interspersed with a little red dirt champagne gravel. Honest ride.
I think he looks at money like he looks at trade - as a zero sum game (although his view of trade is largely just incoherent and self serving). Whatever money YOU have is money I DON'T have.
And no mention in the article of the administration’s dismantling of the federal cybersecurity capabilities.
I remember that day well. As bad as that time seemed then, our institutions held. They are slipping away now.
Exactly
Came to say this. Congressional action? We don't need no stinking Congressional action.
And she'll play the victim and say it's a left-wing conspiracy if it fails.
Thanks Ken. The forecast is bleak with a continued chance of more bleak.
This X15 million
@jezcox.bsky.social, you and Matt are a great team. Really enjoying your coverage of Tour of Poland from here on the West Coast of the US.
People who don’t think this is true are hopelessly naive. It’s past time to choose sides.
In good news today we have A canned murder turned into justice when a Cape Buffalo charged, gored and killed a trophy hunter. He paid upwards of $50,000 to win a Darwin award. www.thedailybeast.com/millionaire-...
Good story. Thanks for sharing. A good argument against the "gadget haters."
Yes, I confess. I am, in fact, triggered by celebrating those who committed treason against the United States in support of slavery.
I live in one - Ashland, Oregon. No matter what is proposed, it’s opposed. But it’s not SOU’s retirees opposing, it’s the wealthy Californians who have driven up the prices here and want to shut the door. They also like the vacant land across the street but not enough to buy it.
People are awful. Wtf. #birds www.koin.com/local/oregon...
"That fueled speculation" is now an oft repeated phrase that is passive, lazy writing that minimizes the truth and avoid accountability. This bullshit "journalism" is now appearing more frequently in the traitorous American mainstream media.
Your family's story from the very beginning has been an inspiration.

@marcelias.bsky.social is a national treasure and hero. We should all be completely disgusted and outraged and grateful for all he does. He is one of the very few standing in the brink.
The Administration never wanted a settlement with UCLA or any other institution. It wants to totally destroy what it perceives as liberal power bases. Forever. They're just getting started.
Make traitors in support of slavery great again.
"Texans don't run from a fight" Yeah, that's why they are trying to Gerrymander their way out of one.
A Rufous dances on my fence. Other than celebrating a couple of pretty good poops, I'm not sure why. Maybe just a good stretch in the morning sun. #birds
A little sunset and mammatus cloud action from the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon last night. Taken from Roxy Ann looking southwest.
It's not just bad framing. It's bad reporting. It's bad analysis and it's complete and utter capitulation to Trumpist agitprop. Tariffs have never worked, do not work now, and will not ever work. We are abdicating our position in the world in real time. www.cnn.com/2025/07/31/b...
Does Emil Bove look like the kind of Netflix villain that would burn your eyes out with cigarettes because your sister (who is being held in his basement) is refusing to give Donald Trump a blowjob?
I was thinking of building a coal-fired power plant on the side of my house. Imagine how much trouble you've saved me!
They will not charge us a tariff, which they didn't before. Also, why is the POTUS choosing what investments get made? (I mean I know the answer, but . . . )
From a few days ago . . . this young lady Anna's hummingbird is the master of all she surveys, including my feeder. Lessers may test her, but this queen is having none of it. Violence will ensue. Canon R7 1/4000 shutter priority if anyone's wondering. #birds #hummingbirdsareassholes
Agenda for today in retirement: 1) Coffee with the Old Farts 2) Ride my bike 3) Bird watch 4) Nap 5) Spend an hour on social media 6) Buy bullets?
"Fuck Nature" is one of the major rallying cries of this administration.
He's this close to saying "When Musk gives us the list of all the Harris voters, we'll make sure they don't get the checks."
Yeah, fuck this high ground shit. Gerrymander? You ain't seen gerrymander.
Man that sucks. You can have a ride where 99% are courteous, some even helpful, and all it takes is that one bully to ruin your day and possibly make you (meaning me) reconsider a route.
So one of the largest fires in the country is in Utah. Where's the president's criticism of the way THAT state manages its forests?
A sick people tax.
The Washington Post needs to die a quick yet painful death.
This takes epic amounts of economic illiteracy from the bottom to the top of the Trump Administration as well as a Congress, most of whom know better, to go along.
Pfffft. Diplomacy. We just bomb the people we don't like.
This is my shocked face.
I wonder if Roglic’s ride and die approach today was a deliberate passing of the torch to Lipo. It forced the Yellow group to chase and gave Lipo a chance to nail down third and WJ.
I hope you're right, but I'm afraid he's just flooding the zone. After all, he's got away with 100% of everything so far. Even his felony convictions were meaningless.
Is she fucking still here?
How's that protest non-vote going for ya?
The people of Nashville obviously disagree with her assessment. We'll see how vociferously.
That pretty much nails it.
Hey, he earned those wings!
A typically deranged looking male Western Grebe at the Tule Lake Wildlife Refuge yesterday. Western and Eared Grebes are plentiful at Tule and Klamath throughout the summer. Some other birds were around but most big birds, even many raptors, have migrated to breeding grounds far to the north. #birds
I know several 55-64 year old able bodied Oregonians who chose to fucking retire.
Orange crowned warbler is judging me after I chased it around some dense foliage on the shore of Hyatt Lake in Oregon Wednesday evening. Finally perched long enough for me to get a decent shot. Amazingly noisy for such a small bird. Its friends had opinions, too. #Birds
Virtually every word Thune says there is incorrect.
SO. MUCH. THIS.
It better as fuck be "opt in"
I've been a Popehat fan since he was a lonely, brave soul trying to actually be reasonable on the hit and run board on reason.com. Ken is a fighter and true patriot. He deserves your attention and a follow. He is painfully right.
