Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Second rate reporter says what?

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

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

The other day I compared

The other day I compared Farrakhan with Mugabe. Maybe I was not that far off. Look at this quote from Farrakhan from the Reparations Rally this past weekend:

The rally got its most energetic jolt just before 2 p.m. when Minister Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, gave a short speech on the need to use the money responsibly, if reparations are ever approved.

“We cannot settle for some little jive token,” he told the crowd. “We need millions of acres of land that black people can build.”

Louis Farrakhan. America’s Mugabe.

For more on the reparation nonsense, go check out the Politburo’s outstanding coverage and sound bites.
