Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

This blog will pay for itself.

Justin Raimondo climbs out of

Justin Raimondo climbs out of his hole (no link love from me, anti-war boy) long enough to declare that neocons are trying to drive us into war with anyone/everyone.

If you are unfamiliar with what a jackass Raimondo is, he spends the first half of his essay quoting Chris Matthews and Dana Milbank, who were widely ridiculed by me and many others (Ruffini, Domenench, the Vodkapundit) for their particularly sloppy work and ridiculous insinuationas and ruminations regarding this issue. And they are the basis of Raimondo’s hysterical ramblings.

Chris Matthews is right that this administration is led by a bunch of “oil patch veterans” who have a “sense of entitlement” to the oil reserves of the Persian Gulf. He is also wise to the fact that a war on Iraq can only benefit Israel, and that the neocons are more than ready to sell American interests down the river if that is what Israel requires. It scares him that a cabal of ideologues who revel in the idea of waging World War IV has worked its way into the White House, and is being given the run of the place. As well it should.

The rest of the piece is an Eric Altermanesque attack on Jonah Goldberg, and of course, his mother, Lucianne. Apparently punk Raimondo, when not sneering over his cigarette, has nothing better to do than to hassle people on Lucianne’s message board.

Yawn. I think he is merely hit-whoring again, and I hope Jonah does not take the bait.

    Fuck ultra leftists such as Justin Raimondo and Alexander Cockburn. They’re so hateful and biased that they dangerously approach–dare I say it–anti-Semitism. Yet these two actual anti-Semites try to hide their hatred by charging that that the evil American Jewish community throw that term around to hush up criticism of Israel, whom the lefties see as a racist occupying country. What horseshit! Even if the term “anti-Semite” may be thrown around a little loosely at times, it is almost always by guys who don’t really think of what they’re saying before they speak. But lefties love to use this to demonize the pro-Israel lobby.

    Justin is no leftist by any stretch. Yes, he is anti-war and a Bush critic, however he was just as vocal against Clinton and his Bosnian forays, which leftists supported. Justin is also a staunch supporter of private property rights and the Second Ammendment. He may be a lot of things, but a leftist he is not.
