Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Republicans do not pay their debts.

The next time the wall wtreet journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

The revolution will be supervised.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

We still have time to mess this up!

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Jailhouse Death?

Go view this videotape of 11 Sheriff’s deputies tasing a man five times on the chest while taunting him, and tell me if they should have been cleared of any wrong-doing.

Yes, the man was wrong for his violent behavior, but it appears this was pretty clearly excessive force. At the least, tasering someone five times in the chest is negligent.

Did I mention the man was handcuffed?

    If he was handcuffed, why did they need to use any force at all?

    This is sickening. These guys were probably cruel to animals when they were kids (maybe still are).

    While I have little sympathy for someone who is so stupid as to fight against so many even while he is restrained, I think the cops could have just left him in a holding cell until he calmed down, but then, cops do like to hurt people. Why else would anyone want that crap job?

    Watch Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. Totally making fun of predominant racial memes while not being condescending. They’re just like these guys, you know?
