Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

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

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Come on, man.

Republicans do not trust women.

Poor Underfunded Democrats

Those poor underfunded Democrats, now that they have led the charge in protecting incumbents and silencing critics with CFR, are now leading the charge in soliciting international funds to further their cause.

Frustrated with the lack of domestic support, left-leaning website MoveOn.org has apparently been reaching beyond American borders to generate cash revenue over the internet!

The provocative international fundraising strategy threatens to embroil the presidential candidacies of General Wesley Clark and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean.

Both men are named on international fundraising websites suggesting donations to MoveOn.org.

Meanwhile, MoveOn.org, which has been running ads critical of the Bush Administration, has named an “International Campaigns Director,” the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

It is not clear how much money has been raised — to date– from foreign sources, but political websites from London to Portugal to Montreal are directing their citizens to stop the American president George Bush by donating to MoveOn.org!

Wesley Clark’s official campaign website has been offering a link to “Canada For Clark”, which in turn advises Canadians: “Non-Americans can’t by law, give money to any particular candidate’s campaign. But we can support pro-democracy, progressive American organizations like MoveOn.org, which do their best to spread the ugly truth about Bush and publicize the Democratic message. Click here to donate to MoveOn.org.”

The top traffic referrer to CanadaForClark.com is Clark’s Official Campaign Website.

Cute. I guess with Clinton out of office, the Chinese money dried up. At any rate, it appears the Swedes are a non-player at this time.

    How about that Billion lost by Rev. Moon on the Washington Times?

    I know that isn’t a campiagn finance issue, but Republicans do get international $$$ also.

    John- not to pile on here, but is that the same Drudge who broke the scrupulously-researched “Hate Bush” party in Holywood?

    When MoveOn.org has burned as much money as Rev. Moon (a non-citizen) has lost on his conservative advocacy newspaper, the Washington Times, let me know.

    Non-issue.

    Andrew,

    Are you suggesting that foreigners should not be allowed to own newspapers in this country?

    Care to tell me exactly what law that’s based on?
