Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

The revolution will be supervised.

You cannot shame the shameless.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Everybody saw this coming.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Bark louder, little dog.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

    Who care if Prescott Bush had Nazi ties? I’m worried about his grandson’s standing membership in the Nazi party.

    And just to spare everyone the grief, that’s a reference to Godwin’s law.

    I have no reason whatsoever to believe that any member of the Bush family is now, or ever was, a Nazi sympathizer, much less a member of the party. I would be shocked and appalled to find anyone who seriously made such an allegation about any of the Bushes.

    Prescott Bush was the director of a bank seized by the government for its role in bankrolling Hitler’s rise to power. That bank was seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act.

    But for the assets seized in that action, Hitler would have successfully crushed Stalin and the Commies only to, in turn, be crushed by the good old U.S. of A. That would’ve been a twofer, crush the Nazis, but only after they crushed the Reds.

    Without the Commies, we’d have God in the classrooms and Darwin in the dustbin of history. No evolution = no abortions and no homosexualities. Uproot all of that crap, and all the women’s lib hooha never gets going. Nip that in the bud and Hillary never becomes an uppity bitch. Instead, she knows her proper place in society, how to gracefully submit to her husband, and most of all that she is expected to be seen and not heard. Once she realizes that her proper role is substantially visual, she spends less time with her fancy book learning and more time keeping herself appealing to her husband so that she will be sexually attractive to him — but only for the purposes of procreating.

    The reason Hillary Clinton has fat ankles is because Prescott Bush had Nazi ties…

    Who could argue with that.

    The other white meat, I mean the other J Cole, provides yet more evidence as to who really comes out a winner from the Iraq war…

    Al-Hayat reports that Iraqi Minister of Defense Saadoun Dulaimi is now in Iran for consultations with his opposite number, in preparation for the visit next week of Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari to Tehran. Sources close to Jaafari told al-Hayat that Jaafari and Dulaimi will be offering Iran a pledge that Iraqi soil will not be used as a base for any American attack on Iran. They will affirm that Baghdad “is not a part of any American enmity toward Tehran.” The sources said that Dulaimi’s consultations concern in part better Iranian policing of the border so as to prevent the infiltration of militants into Iraq. He will also discuss the Iranian role in training Iraqi armed forces.

    I repeat: Dulaimi is discussing with the Iranians their training of Iraqi troops! The Iranian Revolutionary Guards did train the Badr Corps paramilitary, the main militia of the Iraqi Shiite community. But surely the Americans cannot want such strong Iranian influence in the new Iraqi military.

    Iran sez: thanks, suckers!

    …and those Bush-Nazis performed fois gras expirements on humans that went terribly awry.

    Here is a meticulously researched and thorough account of the pro-Nazi era of Prescott Bush and his Liberal Eastern Establisment capitalist cronys. Of additional interest is how the same group who so handsomely profited from their financing of the Thrid Reich also handsomely profited from being appointed to ‘dismantle’ the Nazi machine after the war. Can you say, “Corrupt, more corrupt, coverup?”

    Had this historical content received strong national exposure before 41 or 43 had a chance to lead this country down the primrose path to wars and more wars, I have no doubt that our nation would be a better place, as well as being less subject to the current Bush cabal et. al. As much as I dislike the fact that JP Kennedy was a rum running gangster who became the father of a president I find it utterly detestible that the Bush family profited from their association with Hitler and directly encouraged the Nazi monsters in their bid for world domination. Makes me wonder who actually won WWII. Seems to me the Bush ‘family’ played both sides and won. Continues to win. In an atmosphere of secrecy, lies, and total deceit. Think about the way they have engineered the personal attacks on true patriots using their blood money to confuse and divide the American people.

    Again, where was John when he noticed Hillary had fat ankles? I’ve seen her on television, I never noticed the fat ankles. And, this is a Clinton we’re talking about, right? So, where was John to get such a good perspective of her ankles?

    Yo’re giving us Larouche’s researcher as a solid source on the Subject; quote Loftus, who’s good even even though he
    grandstanded on the subject during the Florida recount. Of
    course, one of the major partners in that bank was Roland
    Harriman; the brother to US Ambassador to the UK, Russia;
    NY Gov. and Kennedy arms control adviser

    For anyone interested, go find George Seldes’ FACTS AND FASCISM, published in 1943. The Bush family isn’t named, but there are plenty of other names, the the Bush family was right there with the rest. Then find Curt Reiss’ THE NAZIS GO UNDERGROUND, which talks about where the Nazis would look for allies after the military defeat. Then find out about how Reinhard Gehlen’s Eastern Front intelligence unit for the Nazis was imported wholesale into the fledgling CIA. Then hunt down some things written about GHW Bush by Anthony Kimery. There are plenty of sources for information about Prescott Bush and the Union Bank.

    Hey, if you cut out the public roundups of Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals, the current corporate Republican party would fit in just fine with the 30s Fascists in Italy, if not with the Nazis.
