Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

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

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

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

    the legality of something is relevant only to the extent that the law is enforced.

    someone like Leahy writing another stern letter ? meh. that’s not really enforcement.

    Ah, the modern GOP doctrine of law-and-order. You aren’t guilty until you are convicted by an all-Republican Jury with a Republican-appointed Judge through a Republican DA. And you retroactively become not-guilty when the President pardons you.

    If the Republicans say you are innocent, legally speaking, who’s to argue? I’m surprised they even let Democrats practice law, what with them legally being wrong all the time. Can’t we just let the Decider make the decisions on this sort of thing?

    “I do not have a recollection of the amounts that you describe as having been contributed by Lanny Young or his associates to my campaign,” Pryor wrote in an e-mail to TIME.

    I used to think Reagan was unlucky when he got Alzys. Now, it’s clear. Just being a Republican period leads to severe memory loss, and ultimately, I’m guessing, Alzheimer’s…

    Unfortunately, my response at this point is “so what?” The Democratic leadership is going to ask for documents relating to this case, the Justice Department will refuse to turn them over, and nothing will ultimately come of it because Lindsay Lohan will get out of rehab right around the time this stuff starts peaking.

    Yeah, the appalling part is that nothing will come of it. There are no Republican office holders with any principle or Democratic officeholders with any balls. This is the kind of corruption that used to be associated with third world kleptocracies like Zaire.

    I think there are more Democrats with balls than there are Republicans with principles but those Democrats with cajones are still to few and not in leadership positions. While those Republicans with principles are quiting to go write books and reminisce about the good-ole-days.

    That’s not quite true guys. Requesting documents pertaining to illegal activity is one thing, but when that illegal activity puts someone behind bars, that’s quite another. Regardless of whether Congressional Democrats want documents are not, a forum will remain for the case as long as Siegelman continues to appeal his conviction. The publicity is different.
