Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

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

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

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

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Republicans do not trust women.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

In after Baud. Damn.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

    Sayeth the Red Stater:

    My Gosh, what has the world come to when we have to look to Harry Reid as someone who is not only right on principle but a voice for common sense.

    That would be a world where most Republicans have abandoned common sense and principles in favor of using 9/11 as a cudgel.

    Leave it to the Republicans to yank the Dims nuts out of the fire by clouding a simple case of congressional bribery by turning it into a case of separartion of powers. Idiots.

    Usually that’s a job for the Democrats.

    That had to be a tough pill for them to swallow. It made for a fun read.

    I am not going to make any judgements about right or wrong here since I do not know constitutional law.

    Yeah, even the stupidest damned collection of morons to inhabit the planet can be right once in a while.

    But don’t worry, Red State has another thread debunking global warming based on evidence from corporate think tanks.

    That’s not stopping the rest of us.

    The comments thread there takes an interesting turn. It’s postulated that the Republicans are protesting in a naive but honest way (being such unaccomplished opportunists), whereas Harry Reid is showing himself for the cold, calculating, nihilistic thief that he is… with his press statement. Is that commenter a spoof? I can’t decide. Does anyone here have anything to say for themselves? ;)

    I was especially entertained by the comments explaining that the reason why a disproportionate number of Republicans were getting busted was because the Dems were just so much better at stealing and not getting caught. I love it!

    This just in, the embattled congressman, Jefferson, he has ‘declined’ Pelosi’s plea for him to step down from his committee post, even with all the evidence regarding his corrupt practices while in office. Selfish bastard. By refusing to symbolically fall on his sword, he prevents the Democrats from presenting their party as potential reformers this election cycle. The rightwingnuts can keep spouting the distortion that corruption is ‘bipartisan’ rather than wholly Republican (when in truth the corruption is severely tilted to the right: with Jefferson in the mix, it’s like 100 Republicans per 1 Democrat).
    If I were Pelosi, I’d just kick him out of the party, right now. He ain’t worth it.

    Otto Man Says:

    Red State praising Harry Reid? Isn’t that one of the biblical signs of Armageddon?

    The way things are now with all the Bush screwups, we’re up to 12 Signs of the Apocalypse, 19 broken Seals, and 193 Whores of Babylon hanging out with Foggo at the Watergate. Sheesh.

    Yep. Cunningham was brazen because he was so unaccomplished. He (and all the other indicted Reps) just aren’t GOOD at corruption.

    How fucking heartwarming.

    Finally some bipartisanship. Hastert and Pelosi come together for the righteous cause of protecting your constitutional right to stuff bribe money in your freezer without the risk of pesky FBI agents coming to search your office. I think I’m gonna cry.

    Pelosi has the power to yank his committee asignments. Schumer has the power to yank his party support. Every other Dem has the power to give him a swift kick in the ass. It’s past time they do it.

    Not really. Dems won’t support him, and he’ll be out there twisting in the wind. Won’t affect Dems much at all.
