Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

We will not go back.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

This fight is for everything.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Wait, what?

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

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

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

How Do You Argue In Good Faith With These People?

Via the Impolitic, this:

During the trial, which was held in Panama City yesterday and today, Ponce de Leon High School’s principal David Davis admitted under oath that he had banned students from wearing any clothing or symbols supporting equal rights for gay people. Davis also testified that he believed rainbows were “sexually suggestive” and would make students unable to study because they’d be picturing gay sex acts in their mind. The principal went on to admit that while censoring rainbows and gay pride messages he allowed students to wear other symbols many find controversial, such as the Confederate flag.

Not to sound like a broken record, but WTF?


Do I make you horny, baby?

Seriously. How do you engage in legitimate debate with people who think that rainbows make people think of gay sex?

Excellent News From California

As goes California…

California’s top court has ruled that a state law banning marriage between same-sex couples is unconstitutional.

The state’s Supreme Court said the “right to form a family relationship” applied to all Californians regardless of sexuality.

The revolution is happening and, pretty soon, you will all be required to gay marry!

Update: Schwarzenegger:

“I respect the Court’s decision and as Governor, I will uphold its ruling. Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the constitution that would overturn this state Supreme Court ruling.”

Bad Republican! (via Sullivan)

What is So Special About 2013

McCain:

In a speech in the heart of Ohio, a major battleground state in the fall election, Mr. McCain set forth a sweeping, extraordinarily positive vision of what the world will look like 2013, when he says he will have been in the White House for four years.

“By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom,’’ Mr. McCain said at the Columbus Convention Center. “The Iraq War has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension. Violence still occurs, but it is spasmodic and much reduced.’’

McCain isn’t even President yet and he is dumping it off on another administration in 2013. That is all kinds of awesome.

These people will say anything.

The Soul Searching Continues

Karl Rove- The GOP Must Stand For Something:

Why is it tough sledding for Republicans? Public revulsion at GOP scandals was a large factor in the party’s 2006 congressional defeat. Some brand damage remains, as does the downward pull of the president’s approval ratings. But the principal elements are the Iraq war and a struggling economy.

That is just it, Uncle Karl- the GOP does in fact stand for things. It stands for the Iraq war, it stands for $126 dollar a barrel oil, it stands for $4 a gallon gasoline, it stands for bloated budgets and huge deficits and diddling pages and secret detention and opposition to stem cell research and hostility to homosexuality and torture and domestic surveillance and permanent war and the Bankruptcy Bill and Terri Schiavo and the Prescription Drug Plan and the failed response to Katrina and blocking SCHIP and the breakdown of the military and and Global Warming denial and Guantanamo Bay and torture and the AG scandal and, most of all, it stands for partisan name-calling while the country is flushed down the drain.

See- you all stand for lots of things.

Have fun in November (but don’t worry- you almost have the party whittled down to the “true” conservatives).

Barack Obama: Kinda Like a Nazi Appeaser

by | 148 Comments

President Bush – Asshole (redundant, I know):

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

“We have heard this foolish delusion before,” Bush said in remarks to the Israeli Knesset. “As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

What a fucking jerk. Nobody has ever sugested negotiating with terrorists – NOBODY. What Barack Obama has suggested, and what was made clear by the Obama campaign this morning, is that:

“Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power — including tough, principled, and direct diplomacy — to pressure countries like Iran and Syria. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”

We should have a January 20, 2009 countdown ticker at this blog, and I think we should have a national celebration when this criminal leaves office. I mean a truly national celebration, with fireworks, street parties, city proclamations, etc that would be televised all over the world. I want President Bush’s last day in office to be the most huniliating experience of his life – one where the American people show him how absolutely jubliant they are that he is no longer the leader of this country. We could call it “National Thank Fucking God Day” or something like that.

The moment of Zen at the end of the Daily Show was a clip of Chris Matthews talking to Bob Casey, and he stated that “Hillary Clinton is the Al Sharpton of white people.”

WTF does that mean? Does that make Al Sharpton the Hillary Clinton of black people? Seriously- wtf is he talking about?

** Update ***

Colbert just described the movie Recount as the Democrat’s version of the Titanic, only in this version the Supreme Court names the iceberg President. I lol’d.
