Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When we show up, we win.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

Fight them, without becoming them!

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Please don’t feed the bears.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

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

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

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.

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

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

No Wonder!

No wonder the military is strapped for troops. A tour of duty is only two weeks, apparently.

    That’s two weeks more than Bush and Cheney combined have ever spent in a combat zone.

    That’s two weeks more than Bush and Cheney combined have ever spent in a combat zone.

    But only half the time of a Presidential Vacation.

    Clearing brush is hard work.

    I wonder if going hunting with Cheney qualifies as being in a combat zone.

    Only if you’re not Cheney.

    Why did Lindsay go all the way to Iraq? Didn’t he know that he could just use the Minneapolis airport bathrooms?

    Dude, please.

    I wish my only beef with the media was cutesy headlines. Get a damn grip.

    As a resident of SC I am wondering why in the hell they couldn’t keep him for at least a year. Lindsey is going to face opposition this time not for his war stance but rather for his support of bushes immigration policy. the resident rednecks here dont mind the war but they are frothing at the mouth over the immigrants

    It has to do with race. I’m sad to say, but I’m just amazed at how these are such big issues in the south, but up north here we just don’t care that much.

    We’re more concerned that immigrants coming here are getting paid fairly, so the wage market isn’t being driven downwards.

    TOS – Nobody talks about Asians and others crossing in from Canada. With Canada’s “Liberal” immigration and refuge laws the chances of al-Qaeda being in the US are greater from the Northern border than the Rio Grande. For decades the Mexicans picked cherries and apples in Michigan, why the problem now?
