@choeshow @MayorofSeattle My Whidbey Island rock band is definitely adding this to our set list!

@TheFP Easy answer—the parents outsourced parenting to public school teachers (and their unions) who are almost uniformly leftist. Pride flags, anti- anything traditional and conservative. The only differences are degree, not direction

@nicksortor Incitement is the charge that should be leveled at everyone "exercising their 1A right" this way. Gently walk up the street with your sign, fine. Yell and incite the crowd? Straight to jail.

@jasonrantz Why are so many commenters assuming this person is left wing? I too have a marketing consultancy, and believe me we are NOT! Finally someone is calling out the grift that is the B&O tax. Instead of moving, I just chose to bank my gains and retire. F-'em.

@RapidResponse47 No!--DST is a fraud, it always has been! Why mess with god's plan? at noon, the sun is highest in the sky. Why do people think they can improve on that? Really? Admittedly, I live in the PNW so I am biased 😆

[Darrell West @darrellwest]

Except the dude I was “chatting with” is a left-wing activist or a bot.

His information is totally wrong, so wrong that either he is a fraud (bot), a democrat operative (bot) or has never pair B&O tax.

I show the receipts.

Why do I even engage with stupid bots. I was trying to be civil. Time for counter revolution

@GuyInSeattle1 @future42org @jesseproudman After my post, I did dig in to see what they have in the bill. You are correct, they adjusted the exempt level--it has been about $50k/qtr; the info I found via Grok is now that is $300k/yr, then a vague reference to lowering the amount to $600k. By 2029 it will surely increase

[Darrell West @darrellwest]

@GuyInSeattle1 @future42org @jesseproudman You may want to check that 😐
There is a small business credit that currently taps out at $50k for my other business where I file quarterly, but I am on https://t.co/lSSJT0hXqc right now and this is the filing screenshot: (services category)

[Darrell West @darrellwest]

@GuyInSeattle1 @future42org @jesseproudman Actually it's much lower than that. Exempt up to $300k, partially exempt between that and $600k. Full boat (1.75% of gross rev) if your previous year exceeds that level (source: Millionaires Tax FAQ - Washington Senate Democrats).

@freak_ramen @future42org @jesseproudman For contrast, check out the new interview with Ron Desantis where he outlines his approach to governance--the exact OPPOSITE of WA. No wonder they are attracting businesses and people, while WA repels them https://t.co/CVZ29xtzdG

[Hoover Institution @HooverInst]

At Florida's Governor's Mansion, @RonDeSantis joins Uncommon Knowledge with @P_M_Robinson to argue that Florida's rise—from swing state to conservative stronghold—was driven by competent governance and clear policy choices.

He points to rapid growth, rising revenues without an income tax, debt reduction, and political realignment as proof of the model. The conversation covers Florida's COVID response, education reform, school choice, and DeSantis's battles with corporations and universities. It also touches on identity politics, the Republican Party's future, and the staying power of America's founding principles.

@Lily4Liberty @JDVance @nickshirleyy Time for broken windows policing—stop the gateway fraud, and we will head off massive fraud

@gregoftheweb @FuckYouShoresy3 @saustin_moco @BigginsLIII @thehoffather For the comment string calling Seattle girls ugly--you know we have historically been a scandanavian landing point, right? So the problem has ALWAYS been the "imports". You racists!! All people can be beautiful, if not for their ugly TDS (ask @BrandiKruse-she fessed up🤣)

[Darrell West @darrellwest]

@FightWithMemes Now do guitars 🤣

[Darrell West @darrellwest]

@BigginsLIII @thehoffather It is both--I've lived around Seattle most my life; I now am on an island surrounded by a mote (Whidbey). And I have retards all around me still. But it is paradise except for the stupid people. I have to keep quiet because I play in a rock band. Oops! thats my audience 🙃

@TheLieKeeper @MaasMaridyth @komonews I was born here in 1960 and it is home. But not politically! We used to complain about Californication in the 1980s.

You leftist democrats are on notice—there are more of us than you; we will extinguish mail in voting

[Darrell West @darrellwest]

I have a commercial property in Langley. It has an elevator. I had to get a recertification; it’s administrative. No one checks out if it works or is dangerous.

The grift used to be $75 two years ago; today it was $185.

For a stupid worthless sticker—this state is out of control.

Don’t start me on the property tax that went from $11k to $17k from 2021 to 2026.

DEMOCRAT one party rule is Killing Washington state!
