Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

You know he’s going to shit a cat.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.
