Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Books are my comfort food!

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

    That actually sounds like it came from my libertarian sister-in-law. No brother-in-law gets respect…

    The Dynamite vest of Diversity has me crying I am laughing so hard.

    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.
