Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

He really is that stupid.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

T R E 4 5 O N

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Reason #3 To Watch the Olympics

And this time it is character, and not eye candy.

Russian gymnast Alexei Nemov- A total CLASS ACT:

r509383962.jpg

Russian gymnast Alexei Nemov tries to calm spectators booing during the men’s horizontal bar final at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games gymnastics competition, August 23, 2004. Russian gymnast Alexei Nemov’s score was booed by spectators for 10 minutes bringing the competition to a standstill until the gymnast appealed for the crowd to calm down. Nemov finished 5th.

Nemov should win a gold for Sportsmanship.

But just in case you needed some eye candy, there is always this reason to watch the Olympics:

    Oh my god.

    Having watched the mens gymnastics final, I was going to make some noises agreeing with you. Then I scrolled down.

    Oh my god.

    That is the single nicest ass I have ever seen. It is the perfect ass. Pefect.

    I commented to my wife last night about the huge contrast between Nemov’s behavior and that of Korkhina. I might have made a none too veiled reference to the current Whiny Scream Team masquerading as the US men’s basketball team.

    I disagree. The Russian gymnast is EYE candy. Not all your readers are men, you know.

    Mr. Nemov is certainly easy to look at. In fact he looks like a blond version of my oldest son ;)

    The Brazilian ladies are certainly handsome too, but those thongs look awfully uncomfortable.
