Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

He really is that stupid.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The revolution will be supervised.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

The Misery Continues

And the California ‘compromise’ budget fails:

A compromise budget intended to cover the state government’s record deficit and break a bitter political stalemate fell nine votes short early Tuesday on the Assembly floor.

The failure to pass the nearly $100 billion budget is at least a temporary setback for party leaders in both houses who had backed the budget plan that used a combination of spending cuts, borrowing and a variety of higher fees.

Is the Democrat stategery going to work?
