Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

A consequence of cucumbers

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

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

Karma

This post is in: Republican Stupidity

NYC plans to investigate whether Rudy Giuliani’s mismanagement of the emergency response system caused unnecessary deaths on 9/11. The investigation apparently follows a recent film publicizing the most credible allegations against him, but given the bitter taste that Giuliani’s administration left in New York (one among many, many examples) I doubt that too many will sweat the timing.

    What with the film/transcripts of some of his more egregious press conferences, the pictures of him in drag or with Bernie Kerik, clips of him espousing opinions that are anathema to “value voters” (e.g., about gay civil unions, abortion and the like) — how has this bozo gained any traction in the Republican party at all?

    I seriously don’t get it. Is it just because he’s from New York and isn’t Hillary Clinton?

    I don’t know if that’s “karma” so much as “responsible politics and administration of one of America’s largest cities”. Kinda like watching an axe murderer get the chair. I wouldn’t call that karma either.

    Several months ago somebody posted on the groupnewsblog that Rudy had made a lot of enemies on his way to Mayor of 9-11, and that many of those people were eagerly sharpening their knives, waiting for the right time to slip them in. Looks like he or she was right.

    Merely the entire state of NY who, despite the rest of the nations infatuation with “America’s mayor” still loathe the POS.

    What Dreggas said.
    Oh, and if you look beyond the NYPD you’ll see he generally had about as much smarts in hiring as the current fearless leader. Google “Raymond Harding” as a for instance. Eeeech.

    Cool. I signed a petition awhile back pushing for this investigation. I don’t know if such things have much effect, but for whatever reason it’s happening, I’m glad. I’m heartily sick of mythology trumping reality.
