Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

The words do not have to be perfect.

Giving up is unforgivable.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The Cursed Seat

From NY:

The candidate endorsed by Republican leaders to run for a Congressional seat being vacated by Representative Vito J. Fossella died on Sunday morning at his home in Staten Island, party leaders said.

The candidate, Francis H. Powers, a board member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, was a retired Wall Street executive and an active contributor to Republican candidates. Mr. Powers, 67, died in his sleep of natural causes, family members said.

Sad for his family, and bad luck for the GOP.

    I know my hometown had its flaws…but this is just tsuris that Staten Island doesn’t need. My condolences to Mr. Powers’ family.

    I am not up on Nostradamus or the Book of Revelations, but the Republican Party sure looks like it is in an end of times meltdown. What next, locust eats one of their candidates, or a plague befalls Mitch McConnell?

    As Napoleon says, if one is a religious person, it really really looks like God is angry with the Staten Island’s Republican party. All the situation with this seat is getting just a bit on the bizarre side of things.

    It couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.

    Expected, but yet absolutely disgusting.

    If a comparable zealot on the left tried this against McCant, the media would bury them in negative press. Instead, excerpts of this will be quoted on every news show for months. I’m sure Obama will be asked 100+ times how it’s possible that he’s not Muslim, since the book says he is, and even says he drinks abortion milkshakes. So clearly he must answer to the discrepancy.
