Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

He really is that stupid.

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

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

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

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Goodbye, Saddam

When the anti-war (at all costs) movement and Saddam have lost the entire WaPo editorial board, including Mary McGrory (“I’m Persuaded“), your time is limited.

When you have lost the NY Times editorial board, it is time for Hussein to start thinking about exile. Or, as Matt Yglesias puts it:

As America’s slow-motion rush to war appears to be reaching it’s final steps, the Times editorial board shows up, limping about one step behind.

    Exactly right. I actually still think Saddam has a window of opportunity before Blix’s next report, if he honestly just let it all open, admitted his lies and repented. If we can manage to get hell to freeze over as well, then perhaps war could be unnecessary…

    (In other news, how horrible is Bush’s Korea policy?)
