Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

When we show up, we win.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

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

Their shamelessness is their super power.

    No check until you seek out a terrorist and provide him aid and comfort.

    I thought he was doing that just by being a Democrat and/or gay?

    A Riehl World Smackdown

    Dan Riehl puts a superficial, sanctimonious twit in his place on his party’s sick outing campaign.

    I’d tell you to be offended but since the child has 0 comments on most of his posts I’m not sure why you should be offended. Same with Riehl. The guy’s blog has been collapsing into obscurity for quite some time now. Bit of these guys probably have stiffies because you are sending them readers.

    If someone berates you in the middle of the forest and no one reads it, is it still an insult?

    George doesn’t send the check until you provide photographic proof that you’ve gotten the official “I Heart Cindy Sheehan!” tattoo.

    I hear next year’s membership packet will include cuttings (suitable for planting!) from the Sheehan Uterus Bush.

    This is the face of the GOP.

    To: Friends of Family Research Council
    From: Family Research Council President Tony Perkins
    October 9, 2006 – Monday

    “This raises yet another plausible question for values voters: has the social agenda of the GOP been stalled by homosexual members and or staffers?”

    And this:
    “The GOP will have to decide whether it wants to be the party that defends the traditional moral and family values that our nation was built upon and directed by for two centuries. Put another way, does the party want to represent values voters or Mark Foley and friends?”

    Where the hell is my check from George Soros?

    No check moonbat. Buy your own Michael Moore XXXL t-shirt on e-bay.

    A couple of friends who took the short busses to the other side of the aisle when it went to the right loony edge of the planet once gave me a Michael Moore t-shirt. Had to repay the kindness. I had t-shirts printed up for them with this image.

    I believe when Dan Riehl uses the term C*** S******, it is simply a way for an insult to be diffused by redefining it as something positive.

    I am certain that someone as sensitive as he is to the matter, could never mean it in a derogatory connotation.

    This all appears to be nothing more than a simple misunderstanding.

    I’m sure he used to call his brother a C*** S****** too. In a loving way of course.

    Judging the tenor of that post on his brother I doubt he has had any love for his brother in many a year. I’ve said nicer things about people I hate after they passed away.

    I wouldn’t recommend visiting Jesusland. The restaurants are all overpriced and the Crucifixion Coaster ride wasn’t much fun at all.

    So Rove and the rest of the Coq Sequres at Repub Central have thought long and hard about what to put into their big money home stretch TV advertising push.

    Want to take a guess who it is they’re trotting out for yet another round?

    You got it. Osama ‘Yo Mama’ bin Laden.

    Remember him? The guy they never caught?

    Currently as we speak, Soros is skinning a christian baby, stretching and drying it’s hide, and having checks printed up on the hide. Check should be in the mail anytime now.

    Just came from watching the documentary “Peace Patriots”, listening to Ben Lee sing “We are all in this together,” and now I find out that John Cole might not be the boogey man….

    Actually, now that you are gay, I’mm sure the check is in the male.

    Sorry.

    The C**** aren’t going to S*** themselves.

    That reminds me of perhaps my favorite Onion picture and caption of all time. The picture was of a stern-looking 50-something man, in a snazzy suit sitting behind a huge desk in a ritzy office. The caption?

    “Boss’s Dick Isn’t Going To Suck Itself”

    Awesome.

    There’s still one thing he has to do before becoming a full-fledged member: recreational abortion.

    Yeah, really believable. I bet it won’t make the papers too much either.

    Ok, maybe it’s *too* believable?

    Pb,

    Ah! *that’s* why I couldn’t get to TPM; they’re being Slashdotted.

    John Cole,

    Just S****** C*** isn’t enough. You need to get an A******* to prove your mala fides before Soros sends that check.

    Or Kossed, as it were. Although I did like it back in the day when sites would occasionally get Kuroded.

    From the You can’t make this shit up department.

    OKLAHOMA CITY –A candidate for state superintendent of schools said Thursday he wants thick used textbooks placed under every student’s desk so they can use them for self-defense during school shootings.

    “People might think it’s kind of weird, crazy,” said Republican Bill Crozier of Union City, a teacher and former Air Force security officer. “It is a practical thing; it’s something you can do. It might be a way to deflect those bullets until police go there.”

    See, I always knew there was a reason why I took Calc and Physics in high school… to protect myself from all the bullets!

    It’s been a very long time since Kuro5hin has brought a site down.

    That piece about Rep. Jerry Lewis firing all those Congressional-corruption investigators is just another example of liberal/Defeatocrat bias towards Republicans! Typical, typical! After all, isn’t one of the Liberal MSM’s main complaints about the current GOP leadership that they aren’t doing enough to curb government spending? And here a leading Congressman takes steps to reduce a bloated offcial payroll, and all you libs do is complain!
    Sheesh, there’s just no pleasing you people…..

    Dan Riehl couldn’t put the last piece of a jigsaw in its place. From but then, he believes all gays die of AIDS, so I’d better stay on his good side…

    All that candidate had to do was watch an episode of Mythbusters to find out that books aren’t good bullet sheilds. It’s good to know that students will finally have enough books in classrooms as long as they’re considered weapons instead of educational devices.
