Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Just a Hint

Groan:

Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was about to give the invocation at a Republican Governors Assn. fundraising event Monday night when his cellphone rang. Huckabee answered and began a mock conversation with God.

After mentioning that the president was at the event, Huckabee looked at Schwarzenegger, standing on the stage with the other GOP governors, and said: “Yes, he’s here, too.

“You say you need an autograph?”

Just a note to elected GOP officals- it is a little tough to deflect charges that all Rpeublicans are right-wing theocrats when you pretend to have phone calls with God during your press conferences, particularly on the same day that your party leader proposed amending the constitution to define marriage.

    John, it’s also a little difficult to claim that conservatives aren’t humorless gits when they complain about funny — and mildly blasphemous — phone call routines.

    Ayatollahs in America, mate, from the faith-based violations of the separation of church and state to the federal interference in citizens lives based on the theocratic demands of the religious police.

    Slippery slope…

    Then perhaps we should apply a religeous test to public service? If one is religeous one cannot perform public works? We already have senators denying judges a vote based on their faith.

    Even I’d give Huckabee a pass on this one, John. There was a similar dust-up on Tacitus’s blog yesterday over something similar done by Andy Rooney in a newspaper column. Some may find pretending to converse with the Almighty is blasphemous (or at least offensive), but it’s when people really are convinced that God is talking to them that the results can be tragic.
