Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

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

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Every day Vance writes another chapter in the book called “Worst VP Pick Ever”.

Elections aren’t won by handwringing, cowering, and/or bashing your own candidates.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Sweet Sixteen

My beloved Mountaineers are heading to the Sweet 16 after defeating 2nd ranked Wake Forest in Double OT.

Huzzah!

Props also to Greg Jones, the greatest wrestler in WVU history, who won his third NCAA championship today. And when I say greates wrestler in school history, I am not exaggerating:

Over the past several seasons, the West Virginia coaching staff has engaged in a rather bizarre offseason ritual. Coach Craig Turnbull and assistant coach Zeke Jones sat in the wrestling office, poured over a list of tournaments and brainstormed a way to schedule a match that their 184-pound wrestler would lose.

Seriously.

It’s not easy. Not when the wrestler in question is senior Greg Jones, who enters tonight’s 184-pound final against Tyler Baier of Cornell at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship at Savvis Center with the following qualifications:

A 50-match winning streak.

Two previous NCAA titles.

A total of 10 takedowns scored against him. In four seasons.

And more than 400 takedowns scored.

“Our goal his whole college career is to find somebody to beat him,” Zeke Jones said.

There’s a method to the coaches’ madness – to relieve Jones of the heavy burden of an undefeated season.

The only thing keeping Greg Jones from being mentioned in the same breath as four-time NCAA champions Pat Smith and Cael Sanderson is his performance as a sophomore at the 2003 NCAA tournament. He entered the tournament with a 46-match winning streak, got upset in the first round and failed to earn All-America status.

    [Scott looks at his brackets and sees that, yes, he picked Wake Forest to make the Final Four–along with Oklahoma]

    Well, I won’t be winning *this* year.

    I got a chance to watch Beilein at the University of Richmond for a few years. He’s a decent guy and a helluva coach. I knew that he would turn the WV program around, I jsut didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

    What the…?

    WVU totally wrecked my already teetering bracket. I had Wake going all the way.

    Still, though, if Pitt isn’t in it, WVU becomes a team of choice for me. Go Mountineers!
