Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

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

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

In after Baud. Damn.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

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

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

People are complicated. Love is not.

You don’t see this every day- you commenters are getting featured in Slate for coments made here:

In a response to a post that supports the decision on moderate blog Balloon Juice, commenter SomeCallMeTim snarks: “We were always going to declare victory and go home, regardless of the facts on the ground. The only question was whether we’d leave Iraq in the midst of a civil war or under the thumb of a Saddam-lite. I admit that I hadn’t considered that we make it a client state of Iran.”

Pretty funny, actually.

    I have to say (modestly) that the comments on this site are consistently diverse & excellent. No offense John, but I hope your traffic stays at around this level

    A good comment indeed. But probably not one that will increase John’s blogosphere reputation… hell, I see that Slate is only calling it a “moderate” blog now. All that fire and brimstone against Kerry, for nothing.. it seems like such a waste now..

    I always felt we were being watched. I wonder if any of us with our less than loving posts about Bush will find it harder to get loans or anything like that.

    Nah. You’ll just open your front door some morning and find the secret service and a SWAT team in your front yard.

    The comment cudda been a contenda, but blew it with the limited and, well, plain un-nuanced “only question” bit.

    Some of us have much higher expectations, are those are being gratified.

    Cordially…
