Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

You can’t love your country only when you win.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Every day Vance writes another chapter in the book called “Worst VP Pick Ever”.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Everybody saw this coming.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

“But what about the lurkers?”

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

The jury literally has a bell they can ring to force Trump to show up on command. Greatest thing ever!

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Dave Neiwert is right– this is idiotic:

Unfounded Accusations Against Presidents Should Be A Felony

There needs to be a law passed where any person who disrespects the “Office of the Presidency” by making false accusations and spreading deliberate rumors about the president, should be charged with a felony or at the very least a high misdemeanor.

Dave snarks- “Damn, if this had been the law in 1998, every Freeper on the planet — and about half of Congress — would have been behind bars.” Maybe, but we know which half of Congress would currently be heading for a term in the hoosegow if this law were in place.

    So it would be a crime to lie about the President. While it would still be legal for him to lie about his challengers, detractors, and anyone else he and his saw fit?

    Not very “fair and balanced”.

    I agree, it’s a terrible road to ever start to go down. And we shouldn’t. After all, if we do, there will only be 3 Dems. left that wouldn’t be jailed for their despicable remarks ;)

    Besides, I thought we already DID have laws covering libel, slander and defamation.

    Seems to me that if those laws are good enough for the citizens, they oughta be good enough for the President as well.

    Emporer Misha is right. We already have laws that cover libel, slander, and defamation. Passing a law that makes it a crime to disrespect the President is ludicrous. This blog, and a thousand others just like it on both the right and left, would effectively be put out of business. What would the Op-Ed pages print? What would political cartoonists do? An idea like this smacks of totalitarianism and seriously hinders First Amendment rights.

    Consider this quote from Theodore Roosevelt:

    Granting that this is a stupid idea, I suspect that a lot of the folks sniping about it were yelling at the Supreme Court for letting the Paula Jones case go ahead a few years back.
