Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Come on, man.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

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

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

British Still Waiting For Reciprocity

This post is in: 

Tony Blair makes one last run at the football . Having whiffed every time so far, this may be the British PM’s last chance for even the tiniest American concession to justify his unwavering loyalty over Iraq. If and when he fails that poodle image will find itself indelibly etched on Blair’s gravestone.

For context, see my posts here and here.

    Reuters is reporting this morn that Bush will give Blair the finger one more time over this.

    We really are “led” by a petchulant 4th grader.

    Hell hath no fury like a well-bred poodle that gets an electric toothbrush rammed up… oops! I’m getting confused with the Scooter Libby and torture threads. Maybe Tony will bite back.

    Tony really is in LaLa Land. I can’t figure out if I should be embarrassed for the Brits or just hostile to them for their enablement.

    Perhaps GW is holding out for a Knighthood?

    Tony Blair will make a final appeal to George Bush to repay his loyal support over Iraq by signing up to a firm global target to cut carbon emissions at the G8 summit in Germany starting today.

    Boy Wonder must be thinking of some other George Bush. With this Bush the reward for loyalty is knowing you’ve been loyal even as the ship goes down and the flames rise up. And a shiny medal.

    Thank you for playing “Who wants to be a lap dog to an idiot?” Prime Minister. Please collect the few remaining scraps of your dignity on the way out.

    Yes, we really are. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

    QQ – you DID just say that?

    Yeah, just ask Scooter Libby!

    Well, I don’t understand all the commotion…Y’all are SUPPOSED to fall on your sword for the KING. In fact, I just checked, you’re also supposed to fall on HIS sword if that’s what he needs to keep his diapers fresh.

    It’s less taking a run at the football Charlie Brown style, and more battered wife syndrome.

    Not possible. Cheney went through his pockets before he was allowed to leave.

    Sorry, no can do. Tony Blair’s gravestone is going to have one single word on it:

    ARF!

    Bush’s Poodle just found out what the First Dog Barney did — that Dear Leader has no problem with dropping his dogs like rocks… and in Blair’s case, he doesn’t even get to look at cute softball chicks while being dropped. Poor poodle!

    Why does this mental image fill me with the urge to wash my hands?

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Tony Blair doesn’t deserve a shred of sympathy. He sold British foreign policy to the Bush Regime for the same reason that he sold peerages to his big money friends and crippled the Labour Party as a progressive force.

    Personal profit in the form of post-Premiership lecture tours and cushy directorships.

    That’s the beginning, middle and end of his story.

    That’s a GOOD sign, Jake. It means you couldn’t possibly work for this spoiled, petulant schmuck. Mr. “Bring ’em on”, who will fight this War to YOUR(or somebody like you – it really doesn’t matter if it’s actually you, ya’ know) last ounce of blood.

    The sooner EVERYONE washes their hands of this prick the better off the whole world will be.

    Tony Blair though, he’s gonna have to do some heavy duty scrubbing…probably on his tongue & lips, too

    Oh, and that “water” that Rush Limbaugh thought he was carrying for Dubyah? Uh-huh…you guessed it…
