Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

You cannot shame the shameless.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Let there be snark.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

“Alexa, change the president.”

It appears that J.C. Watts

It appears that J.C. Watts is stepping down and not running again. I always enjoyed him, but it seemed to me he was becoming increasingly strident in recent years.

One amusing note- CNN was not content to believe Watts when he said he was leaving to spend more time with his family. They reported that he was leaving for three reasons:

1.) Upset about not being able to advance in the leadership.

Which is patently absurd, since he was the number four man after eight years.

2.) Upset about the Crusader artilery program being cancelled.

And yes- CNN misspelled artillery on the teleprompter- later on they called him a “conservtive.” Not to mention the assertion is absurd. Idiots.

3.) Wants to spend more time with his family.

I guess after 8 years of Clinton, we just can not take anyone at their word. New possible motto for CNN: “The Conjecture Now Network.”
