Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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