Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

White supremacy is terrorism.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Republicans don’t trust women.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

T R E 4 5 O N

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Possible SCOTUS Nominees

Maybe this is why Rehnquist is waiting to resign- he is waiting for grass roots support for Roy Moore to build:

My friends, this is a crucial moment in the history of the American republic. The character and the undaunted courage of one faithful man seated on the U.S. Supreme Court could bring about a turning point in our jurisprudence and in our culture, back to Biblical morality and forward to a restoration of the Constitutional design and system of liberty set forth by American’s founding fathers.

I speak of that great patriot, that exemplary jurist, God’s man for these times, the Honorable Roy Moore.

Roy Moore sacrificed his position as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court rather than submit to an unconstitutional demand by Federal judges to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building…

I have been encouraged by the enthusiasm of the many thousands of freedom-loving, God-fearing Americans who have rallied behind this great man and his righteous cause.

More and more God-fearing, freedom-loving Americans correctly see Roy Moore as a man of principle standing up for faith, freedom, and the rule of law, as America’s Founding Fathers understood it.

Already more than 85,000 have signed Petitions urging President Bush to appoint him to the U.S. Supreme Court.

What a great victory for God, family, and country it would be if Roy Moore were nominated and confirmed as a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court!

As a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Judge Moore would strictly interpret the law according to the U.S. Constitution.

I can’t come up with anything snarky enough to top the actual press release, although the idea of sharing a condo in Paris with Alec Baldwin and Barbra Streisand does sound more appealing than it used to. We could listen to the Dixie Chicks and eat freedom fries.

Phew- still got some snark left.

    Heh, I wouldn’t worry. Guy would probably resign the first time he was part of the minority opinion. Ya know, on principle and all that.

    This is from Alan Keyes’ organization. Not much more needs to be said than that.

    Sure, hanging with Barbara is all fun and games until she decides to go all mecha on you. When that happens you better hope you have the phone number of Robert Smith.

    I just thought all the ‘god-fearing’ stuff was funny- I really don;t think Moore is going to get nominated…

    Just trying to be funny.

    OK, i know this isn’t a funny subject or anything, but, kind of like the need to look at a car wreck, I clicked on the homepage of the link you provided, and I laughed out loud when i saw that they have a link that enables you to “hear Terri (as in Schiavo) laugh”.

    There is something so ungodly morbid, yet at the same time sort of funny, about that.

    Cool, I’ve always wanted a Supreme Court Justice who thought the First Amdendment to the Constitution was:

    I am the LORD, your god. You shall have no other gods before me.

    Certainly the lack of a prohibition on “ass coveting” in the Constitution is highly troubling too.

    Jeff: Did you watch the video? Holy fucking hell, god damn, these people are insane. Some sort of “specialist” is shining christmas lights in Terri Schiavo’s face then declares “She has a lazy eye, I don’t know if you’re aware of that.” Yeah, I’m guessing loss of eye coordination might be a side effect of being in a PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE.

    Terri then makes some guffawing noise, which is where they should have cut the video, but they let it run as the “laughter” degrades into a long, low, moan. It’s just sad.

    I think what did it was the talk of appointing O’Connor to Chief Justice.

    “I’ll be damned if I’m going to let some woman take my place! She’ll get my fany robe over my dead body!”

    I mean, he worked to keep minorities from voting when he was young. Why not block a woman from CJ?

    I’m just glad we on the right have Alan Keyes’ group. Otherwise, there’d be nobody to balance out the metaphysical loony-ness of Barbra Streisand, and come to think of it, the entire H-bomb except for Greg Gutfeld. An imbalance like that would be like crossing the streams – the universe might explode.

    Hee.
