Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

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

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Some interesting developments. First this:

suburban Chicago man was arrested Wednesday on charges of secretly gathering information on Iraqi opposition figures as an unregistered agent of Saddam Hussein’s intelligence service.
Khaled Abdel-Latif Dumeisi, 60, was charged based on a dossier seized in a Baghdad safehouse allegedly run by Iraqi intelligence in April as U.S. troops moved in.

Federal officials also said unnamed informants identified Dumeisi as having contact with Iraqi intelligence agents attached to Saddam’s mission to the United Nations

    “…secretly gathering information on Iraqi opposition figures…”

    Dude, that’s not terrorism.

    “U.S. investigators have dismissed Czech accounts of an April 2001…”

    Dude, that’s not terrorism.

    “A little background: This alleged meeting, which was based on the claim of a single uncorroborated informant to Czech intelligence, was bartered about repeatedly in the media, with war supporters like William Safire calling it “an “undisputed fact,” and Vice President Cheney terming it “pretty well confirmed,” even after Czech President Havel informed President Bush that the meeting had almost certainly not taken place.”http://www.msnbc.com/news/752664.asp?0dm=O206O&cp1=1
