Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

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

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Not all heroes wear capes.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

He really is that stupid.

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

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

So many bastards, so little time.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

People are weird.

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

    Oh yeah… they dusted off the profile ‘white-male 30’s-40’s right wing christian’ from the last sniper killings committed by Islamics…

    Does Hitlary Clinton do these profiles for the F**k-me-in-the-assBureauofIncompetence?

    Are you sure the sniper isn’t Kinsey Milhone? She bops around in a VW Beetle. If she *is* fictional, so what? Makes at least as much sense to look for her as to automatically assume it is the angry while male Christian doing it.

    As a white male military veteran gun owner, mid-30s, I am usually pretty freaked out every time some crime involving guns and an unknown assailant happens in the area where I live (DC/VA/MD area). The profile almost always describes… well, me and about half my drinking buddies. I used to live near where the first of the D.C. sniper attacks occurred, and was waiting to get the door kicked in – sure, I was at work when the first attacks happened, but the police forces in the D.C. area don’t have a stellar record at getting their facts straight in homicide cases. They tend to kick in the door, ask questions later.

    On the positive side of the coin, I’m going to have a good, bitterly ironic belly laugh if the W. Va. assailant turns out to be a Moslem nutcase.
