Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

He really is that stupid.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Second rate reporter says what?

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

I was promised a recession.

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

    Heh. Funny & well done, but when the hell did Cracked become cool? Back when I was a kid, Cracked was the poorman(kid)’s Mad Magazine. The only cool thing about Cracked was John & Marie Severin’s awesome artwork…

    Thank you very fucking much for making me spit my elitist chai latte all over my computer screen.

    Yea, I can’t get it to play either. I guess this means that Cracked lives up to its reputation.

    Very poor behaviour, folks. John McCain was gracious in defeat, instead of feeding the hate. He did our Republic a service there, and made Obama’s job slightly easier. It was an attempt to patch and undo the damage he had done earlier; much better that than the unrepentant viciousness seen from some other conservatives.

    Mocking him for that graciousness is shameful.

    Our side won, and by a landslide. McCain showed a graciousness in defeat that we should match in victory (even though many on his side are not gracious and he certainly did some pretty sleazy stuff). Obama intends to be President for the whole nation, not just us. Let’s help him out, even if we’d rather he didn’t include the ‘other side’. This vicious partisanship has to end, for the health of our Republic.

    For those who think this is too much:

    Cry me a river.

    I literally have elderly relatives who are suffering from high blood pressure and bleeding ulcers because of the campaign of fear (robo-calls) that the Republican party conducted the last weeks of the campaign in South Florida. It was a shameless campaign by a shameless candidate who reached out to the very people who destroyed his chances in 2000. I have very little pity and less respect for him.

    I think the heckling yahoos in his audience were the best evidence of the campaign he wrought and the core of his support. As a friend put it, "It’s hard for him to make that speech after the kind of dirty campaign he oversaw."
    This clip is humorous and certainly doesn’t take anything away from what was a weak attempt to make up for the enormous evil the Republican Party kicked up.

    Are you kidding me? This is "tasteless"? Have you lived in this country in the last decade? Follow the campaign? If this mild ribbing actually upsets you then I suggest taking a breather and ask yourself if you have completely lost touch. Lighten the f-up as Joe Scar. would say…
