@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio After Harry Reid opened the door by invoking the Nuclear Option. The point being that we shouldn’t tolerate bad behavior by either side because it enables bad behavior by the other side and leaves us in the descending spiral into tyranny we are in.

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio Republicans nuked the filibuster for Supreme Court justices.

Zach Abraham@KYRRadio·2d

WA just passed a constitutionally illegal income tax and my opposition is meaningless unless I “call out Trump”. Mind you, Trump has nothing to do with the tax. Susie, here’s an idea. How bout we hold ALL politicians accountable? You can hate this tax AND hate Trump. Just sayin

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77

@KYRRadio Nobody is going to pay attention to you until you call out Trump's off the charts criminality and corruption. After last No Kings Trump tore down the East Wing in a fit of rage. What's he going to do this time? 🤔

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio You should look up who nuked the filibuster

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio Lmao. Republicans had to nuke the filibuster to get their extreme nominations through.

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio It is the same for laws they review prior to the next election and with less accountability since federal Supreme Court justices are given a hearing and Senate vote. You should call out tyrannical moves here too unless you are just a hypocrite.

English

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio Until the next election. Not the same.

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio Ferguson is appointing 3 this year. Same same

English

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio I do. They are elected by the people and have 6-year terms unlike the SC with its lifetime appointments and 3 justices packed by Trump.

English

Alan Greenback@AlanGreenback·1d

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio The SC voted against him, which proves they aren’t corrupt. Something I can’t say for the WA State SC

English

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio Thanks for proving that Trump is an authoritarian and the Supreme Court is corrupt. The SC dragged their heels for MONTHS before they overturned his illegal tariffs. When did Congress vote on tariffs, HMMMMM?

English

Alan Greenback@AlanGreenback·1d

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio Nothing Trump tries to do will be implemented if the courts stop him. You see how it’s the same?

English

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio That's a stupid assumption. WA's tax law wouldn't be implemented if a lawsuit succeeds.

English

Alan Greenback@AlanGreenback·1d

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio Oh so you do want tyranny then

English

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio Yes, Trump mostly does whatever he wants. The SC mostly ignores judicial precedent when it comes to right-wing policy.

English

Alan Greenback@AlanGreenback·1d

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio By that logic can Trump do whatever he wants until courts rule against his specific action or should we use the law as it’s been interpreted by judicial precedent?

English

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@KYRRadio @AlanGreenback When did they rule about this bill that isn't even law yet? 🙄

English

Alan Greenback@AlanGreenback·1d

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio The WA State Supreme Court has said it’s illegal many many times

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@KYRRadio @AlanGreenback I see a bunch of MAGAs (and not the rule of law) say the tax is illegal. Sorry, but that's not convincing. I also see MAGAs wanting to take away my vote as a US-born woman because I don't vote the way they want. So my original point stands.

English

Alan Greenback@AlanGreenback·1d

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio Correct. The constitution is the law. The state income tax is illegal in WA as per the constitution. If you don’t want tyranny you should support the income tax only by amending the constitution or not support it at all.

English

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·1d

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio Usurping the rule of law is what leads to tyranny even if you agree with the action.

@AlanGreenback @KYRRadio Raising tax revenue isn't tyranny.

English

Alan Greenback@AlanGreenback·2d

@SZBishop77 @KYRRadio The state and federal constitutions exist to prevent the tyranny of the majority and protect individual rights, not just do what you or Trump supporters want. You can call both the federal and state governments for trampling on their constitutions.

Susie Bishop@SZBishop77·2d

@KYRRadio Oh, did I trigger you, Zach? I support raising taxes on the wealthiest. The tax was passed by our elected representatives. When have you called out Trump? When did you acknowledge that DOGE was just a scam? You had a podcast called "DOGE Watch." Talk about being a Trump chump.

had a blast of a time welcoming more transit to Seattle today!

Congratulations to Seattle's Sound Transit, America's fastest-growing train network, which is opening an 7-mile, 3-station extension across Lake Washington today! This is the system's 5th new segment opened in 2 years, continually pushing ridership up to new record highs!

@BrianTownley @AdamSinger @Wake_upWA Property can’t move and is explicitly defended by the state

English

Brian Townley@BrianTownley·21 Mar

@AdamSinger @Wake_upWA Property taxes are a tax on unrealized gains.

Adam Singer@AdamSinger·21 Mar

Anyone proposing taxing of *unrealized gains* - and it doesn't matter on whom - is profoundly stupid. One of the worst ideas we've seen in modern times. Vote against anyone considering this, and if you have to leave the state before it's too late. Economically illiterate clowns

As a reformed municipal bond guy two stories have fascinated me the last couple weeks and they are of course very related. Washington state implementing an income tax and the downgrade of New York City

@aviel lol. He’s going to sign

English

aviel@aviel·18 Mar

ROFL this is why I don't think he is gonna sign, advisors are getting to him. Either sign and look like a fool or don't and say this like a fool.

Gregory Kennedy@gregorykennedy

I didn’t believe it until I saw the video. The governor of NY is begging rich people to move back to fund her social programs. So, like, I guess there are consequences to over taxation after all?

Richard Hanania@RichardHanania

Washington state enacted a major capital gains tax in 2021. It didn't solve their budget woes, because high earners began fleeing the state. Now they're going to enact an income tax on those earning over $1 million a year, and hope that works better.

greggm@greggmaykish·16 Mar

The WA state constitution bars an income tax and voters have repeatedly rejected it, but what’s a little parchment and democratic consent when there are political interests? wsj.com/opinion/washin… via @WSJopinion

I am deeply concerned for the future of Washington state. I cannot stop thinking that things are going to get very bad. A good majority of people I know have left or are planning to leave. It’s real.

@dmesg @Duderichy The price level in the UK was essentially the same from 1600-1900. 0 inflation.

English

Leg Before Teebo@dmesg·15 Mar

@AlanGreenback @Duderichy Not to mention that on a gold standard the entire monetary system is based on the government fixing the price of gold, and government price fixing simply never works.

English

the Rich@Duderichy·15 Mar

people kind've just assume inflation has always been 2% which is incredible.
