Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The problem people have with Biden’s age is the color of the VPs skin.

Fuck that bum, let’s go Joe!

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Cole, when it comes to calico cats, restraint is overrated.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

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

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

It could be worse. Vance could have said “post-menopausal sows.” Waiting for that audiotape to surface.

Elections aren’t won by handwringing, cowering, and/or bashing your own candidates.

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

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

    It’s “Abrams,” not “Abrahams.”

    Been watching a little too much of Dubya lately?

    Gaah! My eyes!

    I still haven’t recovered from the first time I saw that video. Such delicious camp.

    I love that video. 8 trillion youtube videos and I don’t think any of the retards with webcams have outdone it.

    Cant believe this or hasn’t drawn any attention in the media.

    It really is “executive privilege” for everything here on out. Even when it clearly doesn’t apply. And yet people want to put another Republican in office to fully solidify this as Executive branch precedent.

    Incroyable.

    According to an article in WSJ (No linkee the body of the article is behind a pay wall) the US is starting the process of releasing approximately half of the 23,000 Iraqis it is holding in captivity. The article goes on to explain that the move is being made in part to dampen Iraqi anger over the large numbers that the US is holding captive.

    This begs the question: why were those about-to-be-released Iraqis incarcerated in the first place? I am sure though, that those who were arrested by mistake as well as those who were arrested for trivial matters will have nothing but the warmest feelings for America going forward.

    We often hear there are over 4000 American soldiers dead fighting in Iraq. The Washington Post reports there are 300,000 suffering from post-traumatic-stress-syndrome, and 300,000 a probable traumatic brain injury, from Iraq and Afghanistan.

    I read the article that you linked. So, 620,000 troops – roughly 38% of our Iraq and Afghanistan vets – may be walking wounded. And then there’s this (From the article):

    Providing such care will require an effort that goes beyond the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to other parts of the U.S. health-care system, where veterans are also seeking care in part due to concerns of being stigmatized if they seek care from military facilities, it concludes.

    Stigmatized. Clearly the “support the troops” message hasn’t filtered down to some of these facilities. Or maybe the reality of the Bush administration’s support for the troops actually has.

    It wouldn’t be nearly enough, but stripping every dime from Bush, Cheney and all the other neocon rabble responsible for this would be a start toward providing the care these guys are going to need.

    Tough to say what’s more perturbing, this or Shatner’s more infamous pop renditions. A mouse could starve on the difference.

    Open thread eh?

    Posted this after Armando’s latest rant (you’ll be shocked to learn he’s actually quite alright with Hillary Clinton going out of her way to insult half her party), but it’s probably already deleted and I wanted to preserve it:

    As the length of the primary season increases, the that a Big Tent Democrat post will consist exclusively in a string of epithets approaches one.

    “Creative Class”! “Progressive Blogs”! “Scare Quotes”! “Selective quotation”! “Willful omission of Clinton’s rubbishing of the entire ‘activist base’ of her party”! “Risible failure to grasp what a metonym is”!

    Yes, the ability to construct compelling arguments like those, and on the fly no less, not only entitle but oblige him to launch malicious insults at anybody who disagrees with him.

    Since I last checked in at Talk”Left”, was “Obama cultists” honorably discharged to make room for a new class of self-parodic attempts at wit? Or was it merely placed on reserve, ready to be called back into action, for the sake of party unity, the next time somebody, somewhere on the internet criticizes Hillary Clinton?

    Speaking for me only, because that’s a necessary disclaimer to prevent confusion, and not a token of delusional self-importance.
