Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are weird.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Consistently wrong since 2002

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

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

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Life is Like A Box of Chocolates

Stupid is as stupid does:

You saw it first on News 4! A man is behind bars after he survived a daring jump over the mighty Niagara Falls.

Witnesses watched in horror Monday as the man took the dangerous plunge. But he somehow got the the bottom alive and managed to crawl to safety.

Police are not releasing his name, only that he is a U.S. citizen. No word yet on what charges he’ll face.

Investigators are also questioning the man’s friend who videotaped the whole thing.

This is the first known instance that someone has survived a plunge over the falls with no safety devices.

Groan.

    What exactly is he going to be charged with? Tresspassing maybe?

    I believe going over the falls in any type of craft is illegal. However, since no craft was used, I don’t know if he found a loophole or not.

    But, reports are surfacing that the first words out of the guys mouth when picked up were, “Eat that Johnny Knoxville!”
