“The only thing notable that ever came out of Olympia was a beer. And it wasn’t very good.”
Brewery was in Tumwater, not Olympia.
They made very good beer but you had to go to the brewery to get some.
Olympia Dark was very tasty!
But Oly sold in the store was not very good,
but it was cheap!

But, but, it’s our Constitutional right to chemically castrate children! /s

Wonderful. They should call it tge FAFO sanctuary. Let’s see what happens. Hopfully for them, Jesus doesn’t return in the meantime.

“The last time we segregated certain people in their own geographical area was in the pre-Civil Rights South.”

Not to put too fine a point on this but segregation and Jim Crow was not limited to the South by any means.

The well-known Brown vs Board of Education was about segregation in Topeka, Kansas.

Jack Robinson broke the color line playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers, a team up north.

Olympia, WA is not a large city, but it is the State Capital.

I used to live in Olympia, it was a long time ago but I imagine the queer community does OK there.

How special.

The ultimate snowflakes.

Easy virtue signaling without the negative consequences of being an illegal alien sanctuary.

It's not like the feds are rounding up sodomites, lesbians, and / or trannies.

They claim that's coming soon, but is it? { snicker }
