Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

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

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Via Matt Yglesias, we see that the Congo might be receiving what Matt calls a ‘modest peacekeeping force:’

France has introduced a resolution seeking United Nations authorisation to deploy an international force to lawless north-eastern Congo.

    Congo Again

    Gary Farber says I’m wrong to call the looming 1,200 peacekeeper deployment to the Congo “good news” because the numbers are desperately inadequate. I say it’s all relative — something is better than nothing, especially in Africa where nothing is…
