Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Alternative history is always a weak argument. Always.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Democrats are back in array!

Bark louder, little dog.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Everybody saw this coming.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The choice is between normal and crazy.
