Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

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

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

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

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

Guess what is missing from the D-Day memorial at Normandy?

*** Update ***

I have no idea what the hell to make of this.

*** Update #2 ***

The Frogmen clears everything up– we were blaspheming the French wrongly here. Not that I like the French, now, or anything.

    “Photoshop.”

    He claims otherwise. Got any proof (history of similar behavior by the writer in question might do, for a start), or is your trick knee just acting up again?

    PS You did read the article, right? I ask only because one-word replies, while pithy, are notoriously free of nuance. :)

    And nuance, to some on the Left who shall remain unnamed, is so much more vital than substance.

    “Alternative explanation”

    Now -this- is something that I could believe, and it doesn’t even require active malice on -somebody’s- part…

    The alternative explanation seems to track–from what I’ve been able to piece together, DF didn’t get useful answers from the people he talked to and jumped to conclusions. The responses from certain anti-American dimwits who also assumed that the museum authorities had removed the American flags and who used the occasion to deliver yet another lecture on the horrors of “freedom fries” and whatnot were quite enlightening, and they are owed no apology for the abuse they received in response–though the museum operators certainly are.
