Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Giving up is unforgivable.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Fight them, without becoming them!

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

    It’s rare that one can find a blog with an unpredictable viewpoint on politics. John’s site is that unpredictable (a very good thing), unlike, say LGF, which has a reliable position on things political. Unfortunately, most sites fall into the predictable category, and are becoming, for me, increasingly boring as reading material and a forum for discussion. The commenters tend to take knee-jerk right-or-left stances and never cede ground, allowing their viewpoints to devolve into grade school, juvenile epithets. This tends to be most common, though, on Leftist sites, where the behavior seems to be encouraged (i.e. Kos/C&L/MyDD/DU,etc.). It’s hardly a shining example of democracy and discourse, so I can’t blame the guy for throwing in the towel.

    This is because it’s good politics. Look at the way the President responds to critics. He dismisses them and calls them names. This shows his “moral clarity” because he never backs down.

    The same is true of bloggers, radio hosts, everybody. Well for a short time period, then they jump into a fabricated complaint about BitchPhd and totally ridicule themselves. But that’s another story…

    LOL! Ok. I thought you were being serious.

    Now I realize it was just another excuse for a rightwing hack attack.
