Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

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

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

    That’s hysterical. “If your love for America were like an ice cream, what ice cream would it be?”

    And I’m with one of the other commenters there. Where it was live, wouldn’t it have been lovely if Obama had just come out and said, “You know, I really think the American people would rather hear about healthcare and the war in Iraq, rather than lapel pins and Reverend Wright. So can we just grow the hell up and focus on the issues instead of this idiocy?”

    TPM is reporting that now Clinton is now bashing Obama for bashing this debate abomination.

    I’m seriously really, really beginning to hate this Clinton beeyotch.

    We were both asked some pretty tough questions. That’s part of what happens in a debate and a campaign. And I know he spent all day yesterday complaining about the hard questions he was asked.

    This is why people are getting pissed off at Hillary. The utter, shameless dishonesty.

    Obama was not complaining about “tough” questions or “hard” questions. He was pointing out that the questions were inane, not tough. He was pointing out that the questions had absolutely NOTHING to do with any of the very real issues that are affecting your country.

    If only the questions HAD been tough. Instead, they were utterly retarded and pointless.

    WaPo “Journalism” defined: in paragraph 23 of 25 we discover:

    The debate also touched on Iraq, Iran, the Middle East, taxes, the economy, guns and affirmative action.

    Also, the McCardle has turned out another embarrassment, speculating that Obama is too skinny to be presidential material. Her commenters remind her that not only is he thin, but that he stays fit by playing basketball, which is, you know, urban, and that’s just not something the American people are ready for. And this gets published by the fucking Atlantic.

    Can someone tell me where we’re going and what we’re doing in this handbasket?

    A modest proposal:

    How about the national media cover my local high school’s class president election, and the local high school paper kids get to cover the Presidential election. The national election coverage will improve, and the national journalists will get to cover all the gossip and inane popularity factors they enjoy so much. Sounds like win-win to me.

    Obama missed one when he was asked about the flag lapel pin?
    He should have looked at the two questioners and asked why they weren’t wearing one.

    Obama missed one when he was asked about the flag lapel pin?
    He should have looked at the two questioners and asked why they weren’t wearing one. said “why yes, as a matter of fact I would like to say something about the nation’s transportation infrastructure, why it’s a matter of vital national interest, and what I intend to do to make sure that bridges get repaired before they collapse and kill people.”

    I just do not understand why any Democratic politician in this day and age dignifies that kind of crap with a response. The network media in this country shows what they think of people who aren’t in the “political class” when they announce that we really care about flag pins and not health care. We’re apparently so dumb that we don’t think New Orleans being in ruins and bridges falling down and 4000 killed after the end of Major Combat Operations and civilian wiretapping and civil rights protesters on no-fly lists and rising median temperatures and listeria in the water supply and rising gas prices and Wall Street run amok and the fact that practices we’ve condemned as war-crimes are now official government policy is nearly as important as whether our political candidates wear their patriotism on their sleeves. Sleeves now being the same as lapels, and easy, shallow words and gestures now being the same as actual patriotism.

    Where’s Madame fucking Dufarge when you need her? There’s a very long scarf somewhere that needs Gibson and Stephanopoulis’ names knitted into it.

    She’s right. Lincoln was a farking abomination in office.
