Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Bark louder, little dog.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

In after Baud. Damn.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Truth? You Can’t Handle the Truth!

Sure, we all say we want honest politicians. But this might be a touch too honest:

Assemblyman Willis Stephens learned the hard way this week that there’s a big difference between hitting the “reply” and “forward” buttons when you subscribe to an e-mail discussion list.

Stephens inadvertently sent an e-mail Monday morning to nearly 300 subscribers of a discussion group, or “listserv,” that focuses on the community of Brewster, in Putnam County. Stephens, a Republican, represents an area that includes a handful of towns in Putnam and Westchester counties and the Town of Pawling in Dutchess County.

In his message, he said he subscribes to the list to monitor what is going on in Brewster but doesn’t post messages.

“Just watching the idiots pontificate,” Stephens wrote.

He had thought the message was going to Beth Coursen, an aide in his Assembly district office, Coursen said. But instead of forwarding an earlier e-mail from the discussion group to Coursen

    No doubt he will now ‘suddenly’ develop an immense interest in regulating the internet.

    “Just watching the idiots pontificate,”

    That sounds familiar.

    We’re sure he wasn’t talking about the NYS Assembly?
