Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.
Ah, the different things are different argument.
The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.
It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.
Technically true, but collectively nonsense
Second rate reporter says what?
He really is that stupid.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
We still have time to mess this up!
I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.
Accountability, motherfuckers.
Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.
Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.
A consequence of cucumbers
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
Optimism opens the door to great things.
Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

If you only knew how many times my wife and I have used that phrase (making each other bowl over in laughter) over the years….

I find the notion that Carter was a “foreign policy faliure” amusing: had the hostage rescue mission not ended badly, I suspect members of the left and right would have a much higher opinion of the man.
Last I checked, Jimmy Carter didn’t fly the aircraft that crashed in the desert.

“Last I checked, Jimmy Carter didn’t fly the aircraft that crashed in the desert.”
Straw.

Of course, if Carter had handled the Iranian Revolution more deftly, the resure mission wouldn’t have been necessary in the first place.
JKC
Agree with both of you, Slarti and Greg. Carter ain’t my favorite ex-prez, either, but inasmuch as some of the harshest criticism of the guy tends to center around the Iranian hostage crisis, I’ve wondered if people would have judged him differently had the rescue mission been a success.
My guess (and that’s all it is) is yes.

Did Reagan need a helicopter to rescue the hostages? Carter was a eunuch trying to do a man’s job.
JKC
Don’t go there, Ripper: Reagan didn’t “rescue” the hostages.
As for the eunuch comment, we in the medical field call that “projection.” Go look it up.
Ripper
Now you’re defending his manhood? I see your medical field and raise you a rabbit.
Reagan did rescue the hostages, he was then in command of the second most powerful miltary on the planet, as Carter was. The Mullahs knew this and folded right before his wrath would have come down. I’ll see if I can photoshop Kohomeni into a spiderhole if you’re too right-brained to understand these words.
