Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

The willow is too close to the house.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

This May Shock Some

But Jesse makes sense (to a degree- before he starts hurling grenades again) on this one.

I personally do not care what the new Miss USA thinks about Iraq, anymore than I care what Barbra Streisand or Alec Baldwin think about Iraq. In fact, after watching the Q&A portion of the contest, I would make a firm argument that conservatives and pro-war partisans could find a better spokesman for why the War in Iraq is a good thing.

    As an Oklahoman, I had the misfortune of stopping down for a few minutes of Miss USA and heard Miss Oklahoma say that of all the people in the world she could have dinner with, in a giggly voice, it would be Justin Timberlake.

    Please accept my apology on behalf of all the non-giggly Oklahomans.

    I thought Miss Oklahoma was beautiful- and I don’t hold her to her remarks- she is just a kid.

    Miss Tennessee was one of the most beautiful women that I’ve ever seen (Mrs. West tops the list of course). :)
