Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

RIP Zandar. We are still here fighting the stupid, now in your honor.

Everybody saw this coming.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

If you are still in the GOP, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

    Thanks. I made it up because I didn’t want to click the link here at work. Overpaid and underappreciated is a dangerous combination for successful continued employment.

    I’m Sister Taser of Temperance. I will tase you, gently, 17 times while your back is broken because you fell off an overpass, or not at all. Your choice.

    Hate to burst the bubble, but a question – there is a story at Daily Kos:

    Obama is the Anti-Christ post

    It reminded me – I have a friend who I’ve had since high school, who’s political outlook is, shall we say – radically different from mine.

    He’s a person who’s never made a lot of money, and is a Hispanic who lives outside of Orlando. He is very active in a Protestant Hispanic church – there’s been a mini-boomlet of these, in the South recently.

    At any rate, recently, when talking about Obama – he’s been saying similar things – “where did this guy come from??” “who is he??” “you know the Bible talks about the anti-Christ coming like this”, etc.

    It is crazy stuff, but for this to filter down to this small, podunk, protestant church in Florida – where the sermon is given in Spanish – this MUST be more prevalent than I knew, right?

    Of course, all I told him is “he’s Christian, read his books, there is simply NO evidence to ground your fear”, and he listened to me (or pretended to at least.)

    Still – creepy, huh?

    Obama is the Anti-Christ post

    Just remind your friend about the first three and a half GOOD years of the coming tribulation. That’s three and a half more than godboy produced in the last seven years.

    What I find most amusing here is that these people think some human being is going to appear who can magickally make the world unite behind him. Last I looked we bombed the living shit out of one another just for getting a funny look.

    I think I’ll stick with Brother Molotov Cocktail of Discussion.

    Help me out here: if the Antichrist is supposed to be Jewish, then does that mean that Obama is now really a faux Christian / secret Muslim / super secret Jew? Sweet, collect all three.

    Funny enough, he DID vote for John Kerry – although voted for Bush the 1st time. Clinton in 96, and then G.W. Bush in 92.

    He is predisposed to vote for a Democrat – being Hispanic, he loathes the immigration fanatics – so he would have voted for Hillary – but this whole smear campaign has activated his religious paranoia reflex…

    Sounds like a couple minutes alone with Brother Brass Knuckles Of Convenant Eschatology could ease your friend’s concern.

    If I use my full name, including middle name, I’m:

    Brother ICBM of Mindful Non-Dualism.

    Brother Baseball Bat of Tranquility is now sobbing in the corner, in the knowledge that ICBM of [Anything] beats the crap out of Baseball Bat of [Anything].

    Mindful Non-Dualism? That’s the icing on the cake!

    George W Bush –> Brother Flaming Pistol of Reflection

    Then I realized it was a typo. I had typed Biush.

    In actuality,
    George W Bush –> Brother Cudgel of Undeclared Equanimity

    I like the first one a whole lot better. And I suspect most Americans would agree.

    See, many of Bush’s problems can be traced to the “Undeclared” thing. Some Reflection would do him good.
