Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

In after Baud. Damn.

A consequence of cucumbers

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Let me file that under fuck it.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Not Jessica or Ashlee, or even OJ, but one of the most interesting Republicans in recent memory, Alan Simpson:

Singer: A number of Senators have talked about the fact that this started around the time when you first became a Senator, when the Democrats starting to block some of Reagan

    “The sane Republicans aren’t all dead. Yet.”

    Just, aside from 7, no longer in the Senate? (And no larger percentage extant in the House?) Very comforting. (And which would now join the Administration, given that if they do, find problems, and leave and don’t keep omerta, they are vilified and destroyed, a la Paul O’Neill, Christie Whitman, Richard Clarke, etc., etc.?)

    That’s former Senator Alan Simpson. He’s not dead yet, but he doesn’t really count now, does he?

    No, and he’s not completely sane, either.

    Cordially…

    “He’s not dead yet, but he doesn’t really count now, does he?”

    No, as a former Senator, he doesn’t count anymore. Just like you and me.

    The whole Senate, not just Republicans, could use Simpson right now.

    it’s a shame he retired, although maybe he saw the direction this whole mess was going in.
