Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

In my day, never was longer.

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

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

No one could have predicted…

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

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

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Hot air and ill-informed banter

    Last week, at my SO’s office someone drilled into their Intertubes.

    Perhaps you should go make sure no one is standing on the them? Someone get Ted Stevens outta jail!

    Oh, not in jail yet? Justice is slow.

    I used to do comcast customer service for your area. Comcast treats the former adelphia service area like a garbage dump.

    Huh. I work for CA state, and ours was down for about an hour. Verrrrrry interrrresting.

    ComCrap and TimeoutWarning switched turfs, so we went from crappy-ass Roadrunner access to crappy-ass other guy stuff. Horray!

    The only difference in service is that ComCrap specifically fucks you for using bitTorrent. So don’t worry. Even if its not ComCrap, blame them anyway. They probably deserve it for something.

    Could be their DNS servers are hosed up. (You can resolve some internet domain names, but not others.) Happens sometimes. If they’re aware of the problem, they may have switched to other DNS servers. You may need to restart your cable modem, followed by any router you might have and then your computer for the change to take effect. But they may not know there’s a problem, in which case you’re screwed.

    ‘Net neutrality’ means, apparently, charging you the same monthly fee when your intertubes work, as when they don’t work….

    They’re probably busy reading some other customer’s e-mails or forwarding their traffic info to the NSA. As soon as someone’s free, they’ll be happy to follow you around.

    Come to the Dark Side, John. Switch to FIOS. Tell your boss that FIOS will save money while increasing productivity. (Hopefully that will work.)

    This is a bit off-topic, but I can’t resist, since both John and Michael D. have posted recently about getting in shape. . . In my neck of the woods there’s a new sports event:

    An annual running race in the spring is held next to the campus of North Carolina State University, called the Krispy Kreme Challenge. The race consists of a two mile run from the NC State Bell Tower to the downtown Raleigh Krispy Kreme store, eating a dozen donuts, and then a two mile run back for a total of a 4 mile run and 12 doughnuts eaten. The “challenge” dictates that the event be completed within an hour, but participants without intention of eating the donuts can also participate.

    Ah, traditions. . .

    Comcast has chronic DNS problems. If you know how, tell your router/firewall/PC to use a different DNS server. If you don’t know how, you’ll need to use the intertubes to look it up.

    Since you decided to endorse Obama the Clintons have had you banned from the “white” parts of the internet.

    You should have chosen wisely.

    If you’re having a bad time getting your alphanumeric domains converted to IPs, then its your service’s DNS servers acting up (which is a common occurrence).

    If that’s the case, try replacing your DNS servers with this for a bit.

    Using Verizon DSL. Had Adelphia cable modem before but, just as we were moving across town, Comcast bought Adelphia. I’d already heard from friends that Comcast reeked so I decided to try DSL instead. Thee Megs down, 720K up every time. Much more reliable than the cable setup under Adelphia. To be honest, just about any high speed connection is faster than 90% of servers’ ability to push down data so it’s reliability that decides me.

    Yeah, does sound like a DNS problem. One alternate big nameserver I use is 4.2.2.2 Easy to remember.

    I’d tell you where to put it, but if I remember correctly you’re using that sucky Apple stuff.

    Man, the geek in here is so thick you could cut it with a spork

    The sad fact is: the spork would make the geek bleed, cry out in pain.

    Not sure if it’s Comcastrophe or not, but my MSN e-mail server says it’s down so I can’t access hotmail and I haven’t been able to access Crooks & Liars all day. I thought the Crooks & Liars problem was that Comcast decided C&L was bad for me. But–no problem visiting Balloon Juice, so that can’t be it!

    Thirding OpenDNS — it’s a good service. I’m lucky in that I can get RCN for cable internet instead of Comcrap. Shitty Customer Service, but once it’s running, no mystery throttling and it generally stays up.

    I’m so going to hell for laughing at this.

    Two words: Verizon FIOS

    As soon as that’s available to me I will probably try it but until then I am happy with my Comcast service. I do get intermittent outages but I think the other services have these as well. What keeps me from trying DSl right now is the great customer service here. I know I know you’re probably laughing but I’ve never had better utility service of any kind in my life than Comcast here in Sacramento.

    We’ve had construction next door for the past year that has twice cut our cable line and both times they had technicians here the same day. So yeah, I am modestly content with my current internet provider.
