Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Let me file that under fuck it.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

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

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

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

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

    The article somewhat makes me wish I had stayed back home during this election. I’m from Pasco and I’ve been at events with Bunting before. Pasco is, incidentally, one of the few “southern” parts of central Florida and it’s not uncommon to run into yellow dog Dixiecrats during political discussions. The shift to Bush stems in part from the fact that the county is getting an overflow of middle class soccer moms and NASCAR dads who want to work in Pinellas and Hillsborough but find it too expensive to live there.

    I don’t think there’s anything revolutionary about the concept of going to locations where demographics are rapidly changing, but it’s good to see that Bush hit the lesser-known areas as well as the big enclaves. However, this is such common sense that I wonder why Democrats couldn’t muster a similar groundgame.

    The amazing thing about this New York Times article (via John Cole) about Bush’s effort in Florida is that there isn’t even any mention about how the Democrats outspent the Republicans in most states. I don’t have any numbers about…
