Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are weird.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The revolution will be supervised.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

No one could have predicted…

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

I saw Ray last night, and from the moment he appeared in the film Jamie Foxx was Ray Charles.

I have never seen a movie about a real person where the actor played the part so realistically that I felt I was actually watching the real personk.

Simply amazing.

    I thought Val Kilmer did such a job when he played Jim Morrison in The Doors.

    He looked like him, and sang like him. I forgot I was watching Kilmer in short order.

    I agree with you about jamie Foxx. He’s come a long way since the days of playing ugly Wanda on “In Living Color”.

    It was amazing how he just blended into being Ray Charles.

    One of the biggest gripes i had with the movie “Ali” was that it just seemed so unnatural. It was clearly Will Smith trying (not very successfully) to be Ali.

    Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman was “I keep forgetting I’m looking at Carrey”-level realistic, to me.

    It almost worked completely and then the director threw in that dream sequence where Ray’s sunglasses are off and not for a moment in that scene did I think it wasn’t Foxx… the sunglasses were half the acting unfortunately. Nonetheless he still had one of the better performances of the year and deserves the Oscar. The movie, on the other hand, should have been cut down to two hours (or less) and the blatant historical inaccuracy about Georgia “banning” him is nothing short of infuriating.
