Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

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

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

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

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

Petty moves from a petty man.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

We still have time to mess this up!

Innocent people do not delay justice.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

    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.
