Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

    Victoria’s Secret. Sweatshop labor.

    Wolf Blitzer.

    Yeah. Just stay where I can see you, Bubba.

    You know your a pervert when you set the TV alarm for the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader documentry, and your wife discovers it, for the second time.

    You must have *amazing* email if there’s any notion in your mind that you shouldn’t look at the stock footage of lingerie-clad models.
    But you might be a pervert if it’s Wolf Blitzer that you’re turning to see.

    You have changed. Now if you were still Republican, or at least the typical one, you would have gotten whiplash if Wolf had said “Is Abercrombie and Fitch involved…”

    Victoria has no clothes! She’s been disrobed and exposed!

    Can’t ya see the headlines now?

    And no John, you are far from a pervert on that one.

    I have it on good authority John skull fucks kittens for spite (not even gonna tell you what he does for fun).

    In other perverted news, seems the prez candidates can all just go home now. All but one. God and Jesus thanks them all for coming, but they’ve chosen Huckabee.

    An excited Falwell does the reporting from Liberty U. Not only did Huckabee wow him with identifying the threat to America from “fanatic religious zealotry” (no, not the threat from our SoCon zealots), Huck dropped the news of the Big Guy in his corner…

    Mr. Huckabee also said that Divine providence was responsible for his recent surge in the polls in Iowa

    So to the rest of you, thanks for playing. God and Chuck Norris have chosen.

    Via Sullivan, the doughy pantload drops another bomb:

    Speaking for myself, there is no policy that I think a Mormon would pursue that I find objectionable. I will not vote for a Mormon because they claim to be Christian, when they are not Christians. Electing, or even nominating, a Mormon continues to send the message to Americans that Mormons are fine and dandy, Christians like everyone else.
    […]
    I don’t think I’m a bigot.

    Wow – basically Jonah’s saying both that it’s not ok to elect (even nominate) non-Christians, Christianity don’t include Mormonism and that Mormons are bad people.

    With these people “supporting” the Republican party, who even needs opposition research?

    Via digby, in the Sunday Times:

    AMERICA has told Britain that it can “kidnap” British citizens if they are wanted for crimes in the United States.

    A senior lawyer for the American government has told the Court of Appeal in London that kidnapping foreign citizens is permissible under American law because the US Supreme Court has sanctioned it.

    . . .

    The American government has for the first time made it clear in a British court that the law applies to anyone, British or otherwise, suspected of a crime by Washington.

    WTF? This is American exceptionalism taken too far, because no one can seriously believe that this is a reciprocal agreement.

    A pervert would have eagerly clicked on the link that accompanied this quote.

    An excited Falwell

    And speaking of perversions:

    A senior lawyer for the American government has told the Court of Appeal in London that kidnapping foreign citizens is permissible under American law because the US Supreme Court has sanctioned it.

    So if another country’s highest court sanctions blowing up US embassies because they harbor trouble makers that will be just fine.

    Got it.

    No chance of that because, who knows, the Brits might get the silly notion that Bush and Cheney et al committed war crimes.

    I’ve got to agree.

    And I’d like to add, you know you’re too into politics when the first thought that crosses your mind is “is it one of those sweatshops in the Marianas Islands that Abramoff and DeLay kept open?”

    Wow, turns out the whole “statistics are a liberal plot to destroy conservatism” meme is spreading

    Yes, that’s right, Donald Luskin, contributing editor to NRO Financial, doesn’t believe in the validity of statistical sampling.

    (emphasis added). Note that the study Luskin refers to sampled 8,000 familes (well over the minimum threshold for statistical validity, which is something like 1,000 or so).

    “When you are reading your email, and in the background you hear Wolf Blitzer say “Is Victoria’s Secret involved in sweatshop labor” and your head snaps to the television.”

    Only if it’s because you’re in the process of guiltily slipping into some frilly underthings from VS, and you’re a guy.

    No chance of that because, who knows, the Brits might get the silly notion that Bush and Cheney et al committed war crimes.

    Or, for another random example, the Germans might accuse Donald Rumsfeld of war crimes. Hmm. . .

    As pointed out, awfully amusin’ considering that the 1812 war got started because the US got pissed off at the British Navy impressing Americans.

    And thanks for giving me another reason to not buy Victoria’s Secret bras (aside from the fact that they don’t fit well, are made of extremely polyester material, and have the sex appeal of a dead cow)….Is there any clothing out there that I don’t run up on my own sewing machine that hasn’t been made by sweatshop labor?!

    I deleted that link and “cleaned up” some of the comments. Please don’t post that garbage. Even I have limits.

    Now I’m wildly curious…

    Go search BoingBoing if you want to know more. But you don’t. You don’t.

    Being attracted to gorgeous women in skimpy outfits does NOT make you pervert (were you raised Catholic?). However I would give you the sidelong glance of suspicion if your thoughts at that moment were “Mmmmm, Wolf Blitzer and lacy silk thongs, TASTY!”
