Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

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

“They all knew.”

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

“Alexa, change the president.”

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

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

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

How do you get conservative NY politicians to rush to the defense of public housing denizens? Easy:

Thousands of New Yorkers living in public housing could soon be banned from smoking in their apartments.
Brooklyn Democratic Assemblyman Felix Ortiz said his legislation would immediately require public housing complexes to make 50 percent of their apartments smoke-free.

By 2010, smoking in the projects would be outlawed completely, Ortiz said.

    I hate Illinois Nazis, but I’m beginning to think the NYC Gau is worse.

    Cordially…

    Busybodies on the left are almost as bad as the religous busybodies on the right. Judging someone because they smoke in the privacy of their home is no different than judging someone because of what they may do sexually with another consenting adult. I’m ready for the MYOFB (Mind your own F—ing Business) political party.

    Ortiz is a moron and a hack. I’m spared the embarassment of being represented by him, but Jeebus, this dope feeds every caricature of liberals known to man.

    As a semi-regular on the Balloon-Juice message boards, and a New Yorker (from Queens), I want to make clear that I have no idea who this guy is and, to the best of my knowledge, am in no way related to him. Thank you. That is all.
