Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Forged Documents

A reader wrote in with a very interesting question:

“Why would anyone forge the documents?”

Why, indeed? Whowould forge them is just as good a question. That, to me, rather than whether or not the President and his staff relied on British intelligence for a line in the SOTU address, seems to be the reall issue.

    Motive? Who paid for them? Why were they paying for them? What did the intend to accomplish? Etc.

    I am sure money was involved.

    Slate has a rundown; it looks like someone assumed (probably correctly) that a second-string intelligence agency would pay cash money for them.

    I’m Sorry I Missed This

    Chris Matthews, obviously channeling his inner Tim Russert (with a splash of Bill O’Reilly?), eviscerated Dennis Kucinich the other night….
