Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans in disarray!

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

A consequence of cucumbers

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

This really is a full service blog.

    Thank God we’re not repeating the mistakes of Abraham Lincoln and FDR and holding debates in the middle of enormous wars. History clearly showed those guys were fuckheads.

    why do you do this to yourself, John? Of course you’re going to find mega-stupid at RS. It’s like attending a Flat Earth Society meeting.

    Apparently the Pres didn’t get a warm reception overseas :

    Peer Steinbrück, the German finance minister, countered in a speech in Berlin that the conditions that gave rise to the current turmoil in the markets were allowed to develop because of a reckless pursuit of short-term profit and huge bonuses in “Anglo-Saxon” financial centers — along with a lack of political backbone to stand up to what he characterized as bankers’ greed.

    “Investment bankers and politicians in New York, Washington and London were not willing to give these up,” he said. “The financial market crisis is above all an American problem”

    The long-term consequences, Steinbrück added, could be serious for the United States. “The U.S. will lose its status as the superpower of the world financial system,” he told the Bundestag. “The world financial system will become multipolar.”

    The Steinbruck comments should be understood within the context of Eurozone financial politics. Certain Eurozone economies have allowed lax, or directly subsidized lending practices so that house prices have been allowed to get very high: Spain, Netherlands, and to a lesser degree, France. Real estate prices are still reasonable in Germany, and mortgage underwriting standards have remained strict.

    By venting about English, Australian, and American craziness, Steinbruck can get an indirect message to Spain and France that they should not be looking to German bankers for much help in the years ahead. Don’t take it as lashing out at Americans. But the Germans are no doubt appalled at what Wall Street has done.

    Yeah, it’s been Comedy Central over at Red State lately, Conservapedia edition.

    Yesterday one of the front page posts about McCain suspending his campaign and the debate was from their resident homophobe detector cum misogyny detector since Palin arrived. He was armed in full Assrocket battle rattle firing out words like “genius” and “masterstroke” to characterize McCain’s “bold” move.

    Then he ended his post essentially saying he was certain it was brilliant, unless it turns out to be a fuckup. His prediction bases were covered. These guys crack me up. They don’t know which way to turn now.

    Speaking of crackups, RS lead short-bus driver Erick has a post up now about the bailout. He says if the Paulson plan doesn’t pass by end of business Friday, he’s certain economic Armageddon will come Monday morning. Wall Street will burn, paychecks may bounce. His advice to Republicans in Congress? Don’t vote for the bailout so the Dems can take the fall for an unpopular plan with the voters. Yep, gotta love that Country First attitude permeating RedState. They’re full of strategery.

    Arrogance is what many of us think you are unqualified to be a President, Barack

    I think they meant “WHY many of us…”.

    dumbasses.

    I have to say, when I heard Barack put it in that phrase, I thought some idiot would point to it as some major blunder.

    And Red State filled the position nicely.

    Geesh. I saw “lame duck” and thought this was a recipe thread.
    Anyway, the one’s that limp around on their little webbed feet taste EXACTLY like the ones that waddle around like usual.
    Now, the first thing is to catch ’em. Herabouts, there are a few nice parks that have ponds where the quacky critters reside. Sometimes you’ll see dad’s that have custody for the day there with their younguns, feeding leftover wonder bread to the excited quakers.
    Here’s whatcha do. Just about sundown, go to the pond that the humans have vacated. Bring some bread or old hotdog rolls and a long handled boat net (like you use when ya go fishin’ after the dynomite tied to the rock has done the underwater caboom).
    The Donalds and Daisies (and even Daffy) will come right over. Give a scoop, pin ’em down and give the little quacker’s neck a firm twist.
    Pluck ’em in melted parifin so the feathers come out better. Don’t know about you, but I don’t like to eat feathers.
    Gut ’em out but save the heart, and liver (for gravy).
    I like to smoke ’em over cherry wood for about ten hours and serve with wild rice and greens (watercress if your local pond has some).
    Enjoy! Quack, quack.
    Tomorrow I’ll give ya tips on how to make bar-b-qued wood chuck (or marmot for my left coast friends). Some folks don’t even stop their cars to pick ’em up after they clobber ’em. Good eats.

    Red State commentators and the Louisiana legislator who advocates sterilization should have never been conceived.
