Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

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

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

I really should read my own blog.

Fight them, without becoming them!

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

The words do not have to be perfect.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

“They all knew.”

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Giving up is unforgivable.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

    Watching Richard Clarke during the televised hearings, I came away with the opinion that he is one arrogant, egotistical self-serving individual, and now one whose credibility is seriously in question. I agree, he “sexes up” events to serve his purpose, which looks to me like an attempt to bring down George Bush and those under him that didn’t recognize what Clarke sees in himself as “talent,” that he was overlooked for possible higher levels of responsibility and was left out of the loop that he’d have preferred to operate in.

    In his previous years with the Clinton administration, what did he accomplish? So now, after a few months with Bush, it’s payback time… write a book, stretch the facts, mouth words as truth that aren’t backed necessarily up by facts. It seems anymore, “facts” are merely words that are the most comfortable for the user, regardless of veracity.

    I may be wrong, but I’m not a wet-behind-the-ears child. I’ve witnessed a lot of people in action over my three-score plus years on this planet and he comes off to me as one big fuckin’ phoney with an agenda. John Dean he ain’t.

    Didn’t Clarke, under testimony, reveal all we need to know when he admitted to being a spinner? Doesn’t anyone with a logical mind then question what he’s spinning now (and for whom)?

    Is Clarke’s 15 minutes over, yet? Anyone with one neuron firing knows that 60 minutes is ideological bovine excrement.

    Election year politcs. I think in the long run Clarke will “outed” for what he is: political hack.

    If Senate majority leader Frist gets his way, Clarke, the “last great white hope” of the Democrats, may get his his just-dues… publishing lies in a book v. actually telling them in front of a Senate Committee are two different things.

    The ego is such a wonderful thing to watch in action.
