Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Bark louder, little dog.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

He really is that stupid.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

After reading this piece, I am re-thinking my position on abortion.

What a disgusting human being.

    WOW. I don’t mean to be vague but I’m just stunned, head shaking stunned.

    I’m beginning to think that prior to reading this woman’s account, pro-choice bloggers must have thought that all abortions were for the “right” reasons, or that all women who had abortions were nice people.

    This woman is disgusting. People who murder doctors and bomb clinics are disgusting. Neither fringe defines pro-choice or pro-life.

    This perosn is absolutley disgusting. Turns out she is an abortion activist. I can only hope that at some point, her son learns that she conveniently reduced his two siblings.

    The really disturbing part of this controversy is hearing the hard-core advocates of both the pro-life and pro-choice positions saying basically the same thing: “What did you think ‘pro-choice’ meant?”, with the pro-choice people sneering at people who would dare to object to this sort of thing, and the pro-lifers saying “It’s all part of the same evil–why are you making more of a fuss over this manifestation of it?” Personally, I wouldn’t want to be treated–or see anyone I cared about treated–by any doctor who would perform such a procedure except in a case of dire medical need, and if the pro-choice activists think that this sort of thing doesn’t hurt them in the realm of public opinion, they’re nuts–and I say this as someone who is pro-choice.

    Gotta agree with Scott- and how often does that happen?

    People like that do not help the pro-choice cause.

    Thanks for bringing this article to my attention. It only confirms what I’ve long suspected to be the motivation behind most abortions: Personal conveniance. On the other hand, I don’t find this woman as despicable as it seems do some of your other commenters. Rather, I applaud her candor!

    What she did was wrong, but it was her own body.

    Sarah:

    Just out of curiosity, do you think bars should restrict the number of drinks a pregnant woman can purchase? Why, if it’s the woman’s body?
