Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

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

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

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

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Republicans in disarray!

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

In my day, never was longer.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Finally

Someone is finally standing up to the Ernst Hollings (D-Disney) and his gang of RIAA thugs:

The recording industry’s wave of subpoenas that target individual computer users has drawn the critical attention of at least one influential lawmaker on Capitol Hill.

Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., who chairs the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, sent a letter to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on Thursday that criticized its recent spate of subpoenas and asked for detailed information on how the process is working. Coleman said the RIAA may be going too far.

“The industry has legitimate concerns about copyright infringement,” Coleman said in a statement. “Yet, the industry seems to have adopted a ‘shotgun’ approach that could potentially cause injury and harm to innocent people who may have simply been victims of circumstance, or possessing a lack of knowledge of the rules related to digital sharing of files.”

Atta boy Norm. Another good reason to have sent Mondale packing last year.

    Guess he was done shitting on Wellstone’s grave.

    Hey Norm, you might want to check out the Disney/Trent Lott connection.

    Hey Barney, if Mondale had won, would he be fighting the RIAA or would he defer to his old Ernest Hollings and go in the tank for them?

    Hey Matt,

    “there’s a Republican senator from Minnesota?
    Good lord, the end times are near.”

    You are forgetting Rudy Boschwitz, republican senator from MN in the 1980s.

    oh Rudy, the guy who said Paul Wellstone wasn’t a real Jew, because he married a non-Jew…yeah, he wasn’t a Republican, he was just an ass.
