Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Everybody saw this coming.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

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

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

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

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Republicans do not trust women.

How stupid are these people?

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

According to CBS, since I got an e-mail promising to dramatically increase the length and girth of my penis, “the truth of the e-mails were absolutely irrelevant,” and what matters is that “it’s an issue that people are talking about.”

Will someone please ask Dan Rather why everyone is talking about my penis?

    Heh. There are TONS of bloggers whom one could say the same thing about regarding Waffles. It appears to be what Oliver has for breakfast.

    And John, it is now See BS, or DNCBS. Get with the program. ;-)

    Dude, no-one’s emailing anyone, nor talking to anyone about your penis. Thanks for letting us know about its apparently pathetic mass just to score political points of God-knows what kind. Obviously, it’s only way you can score.

    I have the same question. And I don’t even have a penis.

    Sorry to hear about your penis problems.

    Maybe try dating smaller women?

    Just trying to help out.

    After all, it’s the internet; we’re all here to help each other out.
