Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

How stupid are these people?

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

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Come on, man.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

At the Shariah court of appeals here this morning, the chief judge presiding over the case of Amina Lawal, the peasant woman sentenced to death by stoning for having slept with a man who was not her husband, refused to comment on the guilt or innocence of the defendant before him.

It is “sub juris”

    Hi Balloon Juice,

    The religion of peace is indeed a fresh bunch of roses.

    Eagerly I look to see if there is a core of decency at the center of the whole thing but all I find is darkness and evil.

    I don’t know what they are thinking. Such a tragedy.
