Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In after Baud. Damn.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

The words do not have to be perfect.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Republicans in disarray!

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Oliver- The Last Man Defending Berger

This kills me– Sandy Berger is caught red-handed pilfering documents in a sting, and Oliver is pissed that someone leaked information about the investigation.

My bad- Terry McAwful is still defending Berger. You just know Michael Moore can’t be far behind.

    Maybe Michael Moore and Linda Ronstadt could serenade Sandy Berger with a rendition of, ‘Desperado’. This whole Sandy thing sounds pretty desperate to me.

    Willis made his decision to lie down with any dog, as long as the GOP loses.

    That’s his decision.

    However, it’s no different than any DU loon.

    Perhaps Oliver should let us know in advance when he considers it a good time for news fo this type to leak….

    Haw sad. He cares more about some precieved political angle to the leak than the actual theft and destruction of classifie documents.

    And they wonder why America doesn’t trust Democrats with matters of national security.

    Oliver, when you start caring more about the country as opposed to your own party, give us a call.

    In the meantime, there were some leaks that damaged Bush earlier this year, so Oliver, to use your own words: “we’re just giving as good as we got”

    Like it or lump it chump.

    Let’s put Oliver aside for a second, simply because he’s a partisan hack who’s not to be taken seriously.

    However, as this whole Berger things plays out, there’s one thing that’s not making sense to me.

    OK, it SEEMS that Berger may have swiped a document that was critical of the way the Clinton administration handled all the millenium threats, and that this document was written by Richard Clarke.

    Wasn’t Clarke the guy that was practically hollering from the rooftops that foiling the Millenium bombing was proof that Clinton’s administration was completely focused on terrorism (even though it was stopped by an alert customs agent who thought the guy had drugs, not a bomb)?

    All this stuff, seems to me, is gonna make Richard Clarke look almost as bad as Berger.
