Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

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

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Everybody saw this coming.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

How stupid are these people?

Jeralynn points to this piece listing who of prominent Democrats, Republicans, and journalists has military service, and then urges us to view this ‘astute analysis’ from Markos “Screw ’em” Moulitsas:

Look at the military records of prominent Democrat politicans and their Republican counterparts. It’s not even close. In fact, the entire Republican leadership has either not served, or went AWOL playing pool volleyball with ambitious secretaries. It’s no accident that Lindsey Graham of SC (who did serve) was one of the harshest Republican critics of the Abu Ghraib scandal…

Finally, yet another publication gets my last name wrong (it’s Moulitsas — always address a Latino by the first surname, not the second). But I don’t mind a reminder to the world that I’ve actually served my country and wore combat boots. Unlike the vast majority of the chickenshit war-cheerleading wingers.

Astute, indeed- if you think Michael Moore is a deep thinker.

My question- If Florida had not been so disputed in the last election, would Democrats be this bitter and obnoxious?

*** Update ***

Regarding Kos and those who ‘served’:

Look, I would rather talk about the war. The current one, I mean

    Did he read the same list?

    Clinton entire foreign policy team – no military service

    Bush’s foreign policy team – 50% had military service

    Same here Marble,

    Former Marine, 0331 as a matter of fact. I’ve worn combat boots lugging a M60E3 machine gun all over, but I guess that just makes me a ckickenhawk.

    Personally, I’ll cut kos some slack….when I was his size (back when I was 11) I had a smart mouth, as well.

    However, I can’t wait to watch those folks begin spinning Hillary on the first Wednesday in November.

    When a mere child, I distinctly recall another child being ecstatic that someone with whom he didn’t agree had been the victim of an assassination attempt. Said other child was a “liberal.” So, there’s always been that element. At the same time, I wouldn’t attempt to claim that Daily “aljazeerah.info is the al Jazeera” Kos reflects more than, oh, 50 or 60% of Democrats.
