Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

You know he’s going to shit a cat.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

When we show up, we win.

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I guess it is nice to know that certain members of the Indiana state Republican party aren’t completely and totally batshit insane:

A controversial proposed bill to prohibit gays, lesbians and single people from using medical procedures to become pregnant has been dropped by its legislative sponsor.

State Sen. Patricia Miller, R-Indianapolis, issued a one-sentence statement this afternoon saying: “The issue has become more complex than anticipated and will be withdrawn from consideration by the Health Finance Commission.”

Miller had asked that committee — a panel of lawmakers who meet when the Indiana General Assembly is not in session to discuss possible legislation — to recommend the bill to the full legislature when it meets in January.

Under her proposal, couples who need assistance to become pregnant — such as through intrauterine insemination; the use of donor eggs, embryos and sperm; in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer or other medical means — would have to be married to each other. In addition, married couples who needed donor sperm and eggs to become pregnant would be required to go through the same rigorous assessment process of their fitness to be parents as do people who adopt a child.

Miller had earlier acknowledged that the legislation would be “enormously controversial.” It had already drawn fire from the Indiana Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood of Indiana.

We got a live one here, I think, and I hope Patricia Miller turns out to be as endlessly entertaining as Utah’s Chris Buttars.

    For my part, I wonder who had what on Miller to get her to reverse herself on this. She’d obviously been playing to the Indiana right, and those people don’t like to be teased.

    “The issue has become more complex than anticipated and will be withdrawn from consideration by the Health Finance Commission.”

    WTF?

    Didn’t The Onion have a story about a week ago—“Bill introduced as joke signed into law” or words to that effect? Maybe a similar story here.

    Here’s hoping, at least.
