Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

The revolution will be supervised.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

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

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

This rather embarassing to admit, but however fascinating an invisibility cloak might be, the only activities I can imagine myself engaging in with one range from the indecent to the illegal.

    Reminds me of the “This American Life” segment, Flight or Invisibility.

    If you could choose from the two, which would you choose….the power of flight or invisibility?
