Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Second rate reporter says what?

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

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

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Seems someone agrees with Kofi Annan that Saddam should be tried in an ‘International Court:’

Saddam Hussein’s family wants the former leader to be tried by an international court instead of a special tribunal set up by the U.S.-installed Iraqi Governing Council, one of his daughters said Tuesday.

Raghad Saddam Hussein said her father appeared sedated in footage released Sunday by the U.S.-led occupation authority after his capture near his home town of Tikrit.

    Clark wanting to defend Saddam is no big surprise. If the US accuses anyone of crimes against humanity, you can bet Ramsey Clark will be knocking on his door to defend him.

    Verges is the international equivalent of F. Lee Bailey: I especially like “he must be presumed innocent”, which is not the way the Code Napoleon of his native France works.

    I am perfectly willing to have anybody who wants to defend Saddam. The only thing I ask the lawyers to do is defend him before an Iraqi tribunal and stand liable for any violations of Iraqi law or legal ethics during the trial. Clark and Verges are not lawyers, but propagandists. They have never been held liable for their violations of international law. Let there be a moonbat convention in Baghdad and let the Iraqis try the criminals among them.

    Hey, I have no problem with using international procedures here; namely, Turkish pre-trial detention facilities, North Korean interrogation techniques, and Chinese execution methods (including billing Saddam’s family for the bullet or rope).

    Never let it be said that we shouldn’t share. ]:-)
