Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Let there be snark.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Here is your quote of the day:

First off, the fall of the Berlin wall and communism was not solely the product of Ronald Reagan. He helped push, but nothing would have happened if the people of Europe didn’t want it. At the same time, Reagan and the right were so blinded in their quest against anti-communism that they ended up funding the same people who grew up to become Al Qaeda.

Discuss.

    Ihate to say it but my cyber-buddy OW is putting up some posts that are below his normal standards, lately.

    Fry cooks, Oliver? That’s the best you can do?

    The meme-o-matic spews out the talking points again… Now for the facts:

    Bin Laden himself has repeatedly denied that he received any American support.

    “if the people of Europe didn’t want it”?

    These are the same people who staged the largest demonstrations up to that time, against Ronald Reagan, Pershing IIs and GLCMs, and for the nuclear freeze?

    These are the same people who believed that Ronald Reagan was the greatest threat to peace? Who were protesting a couple of blocks away when Reagan made his “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” speech?

    Wow.

    Next, we’ll be hearing about how academics and liberals of the time all actually supported Ronny’s defense build-up, felt he was somewhat soft on the Soviets, and not one bought the idea that Andropov was actually a reformer, or supported a nuclear freeze or opposed both P-II/GLCM deployment AND opposed “double zero”.

    Mr. Cole,

    Please don’t post anonymous nonsense, with a link to Willis. I hate to be propelled into that alternative universe. Must be the Kryptonite getting to me.

    That, or his photo. Whew!

    Cordially…

    Well shit! We should’ve had another 4 years of Jimmaah Cartah. After all, things were wonderful under him…

    I’m still confused about the “quest against anti-communism” remark. Can anyone explain to me how this doesn’t mean exactly the opposite of what Oliver ought to (given his history) have meant?

    Gee, so using Oliver’s logic, they liked the Berlin Wall just fine until sometime right before or right after Reagan told Gorbachev to tear it down.
