Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

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

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Battle won, war still ongoing.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Unspectering?

Head over to ObWings and do what Katherine says. I don’t know whether Specter is trying to weasel out of his shiny new verb but regardless this seems like a positive development.

Back when the awful Specter bill first came out I called his office in Pittsburgh and asked him to stop being such a tool. Mostly I did it because as a constituent it seemed like Specter has a right to know when he pisses me off, not because it would make any difference.

Looks like he listened to me, at least a little bit. Guess I should call more often.

***Update***

As long as I am exercising my authoritah, go do what Josh says also. Even if they black-marker every word other than if, and and but I want to see that NIE for myself.

    Man. Sometimes I wish we had audio commentary. My impression of Cartman’s “I am a cop, and you will respect mah authoritah!” is not to be missed.

    Oh well.

    Great of you to push this, Tim F. Everyone should be for releasing the NIE.

    The pressures that the conflict in Iraq is putting on the Army are apparent amid the towering pine trees of southeast Georgia, where the Third Infantry Division is preparing for the likelihood that it will go back to Iraq for a third tour.

    Col. Tom James, who commands the division’s Second Brigade, acknowledged that his unit’s equipment levels had fallen so low that it now had no tanks or other armored vehicles to use in training and that his soldiers were rated as largely untrained in attack and defense.

    For this alone the Republicans should be driven from power.

    Spend the next six weeks on issues like this rather than Guantanamo and we might just have the goods this time. Make them explain where the money went and why we aren’t ready for this war, or the one over the horizon.

    Making do

    Normally, armored units preparing for Iraq are sent to Fort Irwin, Calif., for such training, but transporting a brigade’s worth of equipment and soldiers there takes a month, which the schedule would not permit.

    So the trainers and Arabic-speaking role players, who will simulate conditions the unit is likely to encounter in Iraq, were brought here to conduct the three-week exercise in a Georgia pine forest, rather than in the California desert.

    My God, what a disgrace.

    Oh, yes, please release the NIE.

    I remember when they released the August Memo, too, and it said nothing like what the leak-based news articles had implied.

    Egad.

    It sounds like Mel Gibson is right. Human sacrifice is probably not the best way to describe this — might as well just call this murder.
