Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Come on, man.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

The revolution will be supervised.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Goss Is The Man

More proof that Porter Gossis the right man for the CIA:

Former Vice President Al Gore charged Thursday that President Bush’s nomination of Republican Rep. Porter Goss to lead the CIA continues the president’s pattern of using the Sept. 11 tragedy for political benefit.

Gore, in a speech to the Music Row Democrats, said that with the selection of Goss, an eight-term congressman from Florida, Bush “just thumbed his nose” at the bipartisan commission established to investigate the attacks.

This type of crazy Al endorsement is good enough for me.

    Yep.

    I suspect the Goss confirmation hearing will look like the one Justice David Souter had in 1990: a few interest groups will show up and insist that he’s evil incarnate, Captain Teddy and the rest of the Senate Moonbat Caucus will take their shots at him, after which Goss will be confirmed 90-10. A bit of red meat for the fringe voters without doing anything that might make the Ticket of the Lesser Johns look bad.

    He did say himself, in March, he was unqualified for the job, far from it.

    Goss also aided with Bush in suppressing the 9/11 commission.

    Oh yeah where were was that information huh, that was secret, that just couldn’t be let out, so the commission could be held off?

    No, Justin.

    He said in March that he was unqualified to be a CIA field officer. Not that the didn’t understand the intelligence business. Not that he was never qualified to be a field officer. Just that he is long past the days when he could be a field officer.

    Does this mean that he can’t do the ID job? No. It takes a different set of skills, skills who many people, including Nancy Pelosi up until recently, believe he has in spades.

    Seriously, how many generals do you think would claim to be qualified to perform a modern Infantry or Special Forces job? Should Bobby Cox or Joe Torre get up off the bench and take a turn in the batting rotation? Should Gates be required to actually write all of Microsoft’s code?
