Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

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

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

    I grew up in Massachusetts and watched the legends on TV or listened to the game on the radio. http://www.Boston.com has a lenghty article on Red Auerbach which is well worth the read. It will definitely take your mind off politics for awhile.

    The Celtics haven’t been the same since he left. I can’t even remember the last time I cared about their basketball season (and this from someone who’s still a Sox, Patriots & Bruins fan).

    Sad day.

    Being this a sports thread….

    Uh…Cowher? William? Worthlessberger has thrown FOUR picks. Just handed the Raiders the game. Perhaps you’ll use Batch next time?

    Seriously, what is it with Pitty’s infatuation with an average QB?

    Roethlisbergenheimersmith – He has a long name. It’s sounds like someone who would being an Iron Worker, or with whom you could drink Iron City beer while eating a meatball sub. That’s all I got.

    I actually think the NFL is great, actually. The whole “parity” that’s created with revenue sharing means that dynasties only exist because of talent and every team has a chance.

    Contrast this to MLB which means that it’s barely worth watching unless you’re a Red Sox or Yankee fan.

    I think this is BS received wisdom (and I say this as a diehard member of RSN) – with the exception of say the Royals the Pirates and D-Rays, most teams are in fact worth watching – Since 2001, there have been 11 different WS contestants (out of a possible 12), 16 different LCS teams and 19 different LDS teams…just saying.

    Though Red Auerbackh accomplished many great feats, he was a bit too egotistical even near the very end. I never liked the fact that he couldn’t graciously give it up to Phil Jackson as Phil was approaching or surpassing some of Red’s records. He would constantly dis Phil’s achievements making himself sound small and petty in the process.
