Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

The lights are all blinking red.

Consistently wrong since 2002

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Not all heroes wear capes.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The End of the Kerry Campaign

This the end, beautiful friend, the end:

Sen. Kerry (Mass.) used the undeleted expletive to express his frustration and anger over how the Iraq issue has hurt him because he voted for the war resolution while Democratic front-runner Howard Dean has soared by opposing it.

“I voted for what I thought was best for the country. Did I expect Howard Dean to go off to the left and say, ‘I’m against everything’? Sure. Did I expect George Bush to f – – – it up as badly as he did? I don’t think anybody did,” Kerry told the youth-oriented magazine.

Brookings Institution presidential scholar Stephen Hess said he can’t recall another candidate attacking a president with X-rated language in a public interview.

But can he say it in French?

They Did It Again

Those bastards did it again! Another poll-driven PR stunt at the expense of the taxpayers! This time the Secretary of Defense, instead of the Commander in Chief, went and visited the troops in an unannounced visit. Have they no shame! How dare they visit the troops! Will they do anything to get elected? Will they do anything for a photo-op!?!?

Be the first to find the following idiotic statements from the lunatic fringe:

1.) Some variation of ‘This just show the situation is so bad that Rumsfeld had to go unannounced.’

2.) Some variation of ‘This just shows what a coward Bush is, since Rumsfeld stayed so much longer.’

3.) Rumsfeld just went to upstage Hillary Clinton’s remarks.

4.) Sure, he will go to Iraq, but will Rumsfeld go to any funerals?

5.) He is just there to get his pal Chalabi in line.

6.) This is a sign of desperation- our policy and lack of plan is failing so bad that these stunts are just being done to distract from the miserable failure.

7.) This is just an attempt to distract people about our failure in Afghanistan.

I am sure there will be more. Who knows how these twisted minds work.

Michael Jackson is not being investigated because he is Michael Jackson.

O.J. was not prosecuted because he was O.J.

Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were not prosecuted because of who they are (although it probably would not have bothered me in this case).

Mike Tyson was not prosecuted because he is Mike Tyson (although there probably should be a law on the books about that one).

And so forth:

Earlier Friday, Limbaugh’s attorney, Roy Black, accused the Palm Beach state attorney of investigating Limbaugh only for political reasons. Black said Limbaugh was not a target of State Attorney Barry Krischer’s investigation until October when the National Enquirer quoted Limbaugh’s maid as saying she had unlawfully sold Limbaugh such medications.

“Suddenly an elected public official could not ignore the name Rush Limbaugh,” Black said on NBC’s “Today” show. Black is also a paid NBC commentator. “They are looking to publicly embarrass him and affect his radio program….Why is Rush Limbaugh the only person treated like this in America?”

Dear Rush,

If they prosecute you, I am rather confident it is not because you are Rush Limbaugh.
