Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Be a wild strawberry.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

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

When we show up, we win.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

The National Guard is not Batman.

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

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Matt Welch is too nice to Gray Davis, and Radley Balko is too nice to Fritz Holling. A hearty boot in the ass to both of them.

    I’m assuming you’re being tongue in cheek here, John, since I’m not sure what Matt could have done to be more harsh to ol’ Monochrome without having him offically designated as a demon so we could legally sic Buffy on his ass. . .

    As for the parade of dimwits urging an immediate recall-recall, a slight paraphrase of another actor/politician who topped out at mayor:

    “Go ahead–make our day.”
