Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

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

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

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

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

The Left Coast

Here is the entire list of candidates for the run-off election in California. What a bloody mess.

It appears that a Willie Brown, Jr. is running. Is that Willie Brown’s son (you know which Willie Brown I mean- clearly, every Willie Brown, Jr. is the son of some Willie Brown).

(via Tacitus)

*** Update ***

Andrew Lazarus points out that I am illiterate fool, and that Willie Brown, Jr. is running for the state Senate.

    You misread the list. Willie Brown Jr has taken out papers for the 3rd State Senate District. Several offices are in the one table.

    This list is not complete. The deadline is the 9th, I believe, and not all of the people listed will necessarily file.

    The governor part of things is a “recall election.” There’s only about 90 names with “governor” next to them. I don’t know whether being on that list mean they already paid the $3500 or not, but I’d doubt it.

    The one name definitely on the list for Governor is Gary Coleman of small angry black child actor fame. One wonders if his campaign slogan will be “Whatchu Talkin’ Bout, Davis?” I’d vote for him.

    I understand the number of persons who have taken out papers is about 400 now. (Not all will submit them.)
