Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

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

“They all knew.”

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Not all heroes wear capes.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Who in the World are

Who in the World are Ted Glick and Liz Macron?

Engaging in politics with Democrats is a lot like playing Hide-N-Seek with little children. If you have ever played the game with a young child, one of the funny aspects of their immaturity and inborn self-centered thought processes is how they just do not get the game. They think if they do not see you, you can’t see them, and just like that they are hidden. I have seen little kids stand behind a pole, with a shoulder sticking out on each side, but because their eyes are blocked and they can not see me, they think they are hidden. Kinda cute, when you are dealing with wee ones. Maddening when you are dealing with adult Democrats.

To complete the analogy, they think if they can fool themselves into believing what they are doing is right and just, well, then, it just must be so. Who cares if it is legal- we have friends in the court and know a LOT of trial lawyers. The most recent line is that evil mean Republicans are trying to deny the voters a choice. I heard it on the radio earlier, and Sully now has the links up.

If it were not so annoying, it would be funny. Democrats nominate a crook, and then when it is clear he can not win, he withdraws. Because he has withdrawn so late, by law it is too late to put a new candidate on the ballot. Thus, evil mean Republicans are denying us a vote. Watch them say it with straight faces- just like the little kid in the game, they can’t see us, or the truth, so they think they are winning.

All of which brings me back to Ted Glick and Liz Macron, and why they are relevant. If you do not know who they are, click on the links and go meet them- they are Green Party and Libertarian Party Candidates for the U.S. Senate in the year 2002. In New Jersey, no less. I can not verify if they are on the ballot, as I could not find a sample ballot anywhere, but I called the numbers on the websites, and I got answering machines that announced they were indeed campaign HQ’s. Maybe they will be able to respond via email tomorrow.

So now the Democrats are lying about not having a choice for New Jersey voters, but voters do have a choice. It just is not the one Tom Daschle and Terry McAuliffe want. New Jersey voters can vote for the Democrat, Robert Toricelli and piss their vote away on a corrupt politico with a persecution complex, they can vote for Mr. Forrester, the Republican candidate, or they can vote for Mr. Glick or Ms. Macron.

That is four choices, which is about three more than I have every couple of years here in West Virginia when Senators Rockefeller and Byrd run generally unopposed. So what the Donks really want is for all three of the candidates who played by the rules to be punished by creative law making in the New Jersey Supreme Court, and you just know they will do anything to get their way. They still think they were cheated in 2000, so this is their payback. How long before they drag the ‘disenfranchisement’ mantra out of the closet and ram that down our throats again? How long before Rev. Jesse whips up the overt racism?

Although I want the rule of law to win, I am kinda hoping the Dems manage to manipulate this and the Hawaii scandal to a win. The backlash will be tremendous and so terribly delicious to witness.

Who knows what will happen. But voters in New Jersey do have a choice. It’s just that the Democrats don’t care- that is their seat, damnit, by hook or by crook.
