Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

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

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

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

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

No one could have predicted…

I have started about 5 different posts about this thorough conflict of interest here in West Virginia that caught the eye of the NY Times, but WV Blue has a piece up and some comments, so just go there and check it out.

Truly appalling behavior. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the fact that WV is pretty much run by Coal interests, this will be an eye opener.

    Spent many weeks in Huntington, WV on business back in 2000. Loved it.

    Run by coal interests? Shit, screwed, blued and tattooed by coal interests. Look up “mountain topping” for example. Not only can the coal companies clip the tops off of mountains to recover the coal there, they can dump whatever they don’t want down the side of the mountain, choking and polluting streams and rendering the bottom land uninhabitable.

    Although a lot of the people I got to know down there opposed mountain topping I can’t find anything that says it was ever stopped. Another consequence of America allowing the mineral rights to a piece of land to be sold separately from the land itself and then standing foursquare for the ability of the owner of the mineral rights to fuck up whatever’s above ground to get at whatever minerals may or may not be there.

    It reminds me of that hunting trip that Scalia and Cheney took right around the time Scalia was ruling on something to do with Cheney. I think it was about having to disclose who was on the very secret energy committee.

    I’m sorry, but having your Supreme Court Justices elected is just ripe for abuse. One of the other Justices that ruled in favor of Masey just happened to have received over $3 million in his election campaign from Masey interests to unseat another justice. Of course this isn’t a high enough amount to warrant recusing oneself from ruling on the case.

    Jeebus!!

    Punchy

    At least dirty-ass coal, and strip mining, and blowing up mountain tops for coal, and letting all the debris fall into creeks and rivers, and all the corruption that befalls it is SO MUCH BETTER than the acres of corn, soybeans, and the occasional pig farm in Iowa. Nothing quite as disgusting, repulsive, and detremental to a state than a bushel of corn, as compared to blacklung, environmental catastrophies, and government failure to regulate.

    Yeah, I am picking this fight again.
