Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

The words do not have to be perfect.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

How stupid are these people?

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Freedom From Criticism

Mean Mr. Mustard explains a thing or two to Susan Sarandon:

Once again, all together now, so all of Hollywood can hear: Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from criticism. You can talk all you want to Susan, but keep in mind, your continued offering of pathetic little platitudes that equate the deliberate killing of thousands of innocents with the careful efforts to hunt down and destroy their killers will likely mean getting branded with words a lot worse than “anti-American.”

“Brain-dead twit,” comes to mind, for example.

Go read the whole thing.

Democrat Attitudes

You know those dour, serious looks Democrats are always giving? You know the ones- like when Daschle asking about ‘fundamental fairness’ and raising ‘serious questions.’ Or how about Nancy Pelosi rolling her eyes and smirking during the SOTU address? It was the kind of thing that makes you want to retch. Or Hillary, incapable of smiling and making it through an entire speech without swearing or chit-chatting with Lieberman. At any rate, these obnoxious attitudes, the incessant whining, and the general pessimism and negativity do not sell well. They think they are being more aggressive, but this is how the nation at large is starting to view them:

Abortion Politics

This post is in: 

Generally, I am pro-choice- my choice is that I will never support it- but I also choose to let others make their own decision and to live with themselves. However, it is illustrative that the ‘party of choice’ really isn’t:

Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., promised to bring up the abortion issue if he finds himself debating President Bush next year.

“I’ll tell him, ‘There’s a fundamental difference between he and I (sic; it’s been a long time since Kerry’s prep school grammar classes): I trust women to make their own decisions. You don’t,” Kerry said. Fine words. But it looks like the only decision John Kerry trusts women to make is the decision to have or not have an abortion.

He doesn’t trust a woman to make the decision to invest her Social Security taxes in private accounts that would provide her a more comfortable retirement. He doesn’t trust a woman to own a gun. He doesn’t trust a woman to make her own decision on where her children will go to school.

The truth hurts. I’d vote for this party:

Too many people these days think “choice” only refers to abortion. I’d like to hear a presidential candidate say, “I believe in a woman’s right to choose. I believe in a woman’s right to choose whether to have a child. I believe in a woman’s right to choose any job someone will hire her for. I believe in a woman’s right to choose to own a gun. I believe in a woman’s right to choose the school she thinks is best for her child, public or private. I believe in a woman’s right to choose what kinds of art she will spend her money on, even if she prefers Madonna or Randy Travis and Congress wants to give her money to Robert Mapplethorpe or Luciano Pavarotti. I believe in a woman’s right to choose to drive a cab, even if she doesn’t have a license. I believe in a woman’s right to choose the employees she wants for her business, even if they don’t fit some government quota. I believe in a woman’s right to choose the drugs she prefers for recreation, whether she chooses Coors or cocaine. I believe in a woman’s right to choose how to spend all of her hard-earned money, without giving half of it to the government.”

Whether or not you support the right to choose abortion, surely that is a more difficult issue, involving more lives and more complexities than the right to choose a school for your child, to use marijuana, or to own a gun. And yet many of the supporters of “a woman’s right to choose” don’t support a woman’s right to make those choices.
