Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

The revolution will be supervised.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

9/11 As An Excuse

Instapundit links to this tale of idiocy, where a man was arrested for paying a bill with $2 bills. That in itself is dumb enough, but this takes the cake:

Finally, Secret Service agent Leigh Turner arrived, examined the bills and said they were legitimate, adding, according to the police report, “Sometimes ink on money can smear.”

This will be important news to all concerned.

For Baltimore County police, said spokesman Bill Toohey, “It’s a sign that we’re all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world.”

Nervous about what? Legal Tender?

When did the deaths of of 3000 people become an excuse for any aberrant behavior by government officals? Toohey’s stupid ass should be fired just for being an idiot.

Sorry we shot your dog. You know- 9/11 and all.

Sorry we beat you nearly to death for speeding. We’re a bit nervous- 9/11 and all.

    Or, going by what was reported on “60 Minutes” tonight:

    Sorry we squandered $100,000 of your hard-earned money funding the purchase of bomb-proof Dumpsters for the unincorporated town of Whiz Pond, La. and blew another $25,000 buying red suspenders and bulletproof jockstraps for the volunteer firemen of Outhouse, N.M. It’s just that we’ve got to be ready for anything al Qaeda might throw at us.

    Maybe that’s where the 9 billion in “misplaced” funds from the CPA went in Iraq. I always find it funny (ironic) that this must be the only CPA (now that Arthur Anderson is defunct) who cannot balance their books.

    Yes, 9/11 changed everything, including how we defend our civil liberties. We have to let go some of the gray areas and be *more* vigilant about the rest. This is no gray area. Fry the city’s checkbook and fire the cop.

    If he would have just gotten a very professional pat-down and been kept in a room until he was verified as not passing funny money, there really isn’t a government problem. Non-judicial, instead-of-trial punishments like handcuffing someone to a pole are out of bounds. Baltimore should pay.
