Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Former Congressman Bob Barr (R, GA) may be doing more to defend yourcivil liberties than anyone currently in Congress. Check out this op-ed on Minority Report and the Virginia Temperance Nazi’s Police:

In last year’s mega-hit movie “Minority Report,” starring Tom Cruise in a mid-21st-century sci-fi thriller, D.C. police identify persons who have not yet committed a crime, but who, based on premonition evidence are going to commit a crime, and then swoop in and arrest these pre-criminals before they can carry out their dastardly deeds.
A fine movie; I saw it and liked it. Well, it isn’t even 2054 (the year in which the movie is set), and already, Washington-area police
