Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

So very ready.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

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

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

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

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

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

On Hardball, while discussing new gun laws to help fight terrorism (stop giggling), Chris Matthews and Frank Lautenberg had this exchange (paraphrased- I will correct when the transcript is up):

Matthews: “What do you do when these gun laws to stop terrorists from getting guns might keep a guy who just wants to hunt from getting a rifle?”

Lautenberg: “That is just a chance we have to take.”

Aye carumba.

    Didn’t Christopher Hedges just condemn the use of war to make people think too much of the collective? To just go along, and to give up their freedoms and their rights?

    Perhaps Mr. Hedges should have a chat w/ Mr. Matthews and Mr. Lautenberg?

    I don’t have cable, so I didn’t see the broadcast. Did the conversation have anything to do with the sunsetting assault rifles ban?
