Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

When I was faster i was always behind.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Consistently wrong since 2002

When we show up, we win.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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…
