Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everybody saw this coming.

No one could have predicted…

You cannot shame the shameless.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

“But what about the lurkers?”

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Let there be snark.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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?
