Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

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

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

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

In my day, never was longer.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Let’s finish the job.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

How are Republicans going to find someone with more charisma and personal charm than Jim Jordan?

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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.
