Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

No Justins, No Peace

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I really should read my own blog.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Let there be snark.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

A Good Night For Democrats

Carpetbagger has a rundown. Kos has another.

More in sorrow than in anger, my advice to Republians is that if you want to start winning elections again then you’ve got to stop wearing pants.

***Update***

I should add that this post is a riff on the endless offerings of insipid more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger ‘free advice’ tossed out after the last two elections by pundits who wouldn’t care if Democrats never won another election. My point is just as valid, from a post hoc ergo propter hoc perspective, as any of the others.

    If the Republicans want to get back to their winning ways, then they must push for a Cabinet-level Department of Armageddon and the Coming Rapture. That’s the only way they will be able to win the hearts and minds of the country.

    Close, but if they want to start winning elections that have to start wearing pants.
    And grow a pair.

    The state of the Democrats today can be summed up by their excitement in keeping seats they already had.

    […] Reductio ad absurdum and slippery slope often go together; the first happens when you rephrase somebody’s argument in bad faith using the most extreme conceivable example and the second should speak for itself. Post hoc ergo propter hoc comes up when A happens followed by B and somebody inappropriately concludes that A causes B. There’s your illogic whenever you see somebody declare, “Democrats won’t start winning elections until they stop [X],” where [X] stands in for the writer’s pet peeve du jour. Click here for a good example. […]
