Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Jacques Chirac has clearly taken leave of his senses:

French President Jacques Chirac said Friday that France would not go along with a new United Nations resolution allowing the United States and Britain to administer postwar Iraq.

The French president said at a European Union summit he would “not accept” a resolution that “would legitimize the military intervention [and] would give the belligerents the powers to administer Iraq.”

“That would justify the war after the event,” Chirac told reporters.

He probably wants Mugabe or TotalFinaElf to administer Iraq.

    This is the perfect opportunity for Pres. Bush to tell the french that we didn’t intend to ask, so no big deal. Why the hell would we legitimize the UN bs by going back to them now?

    What I’d really like to know is exactly HOW Chirac thinks he’s going to get his way…it’s not like the US and UK really give a rat’s ass what he thinks anymore.

    Breaking My Promise

    I know, I know, I promised, but at least I get to tie it to something pop-culture-y. This story, in which blustery old Jacques Chirac is going around setting all kinds of terms and conditions for a post-war Iraq, reminds…
