Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

People are complicated. Love is not.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

    I’m not going over there to read the stupid. But really, Obama reminds them of Nixon? WTF? What’s the connection?

    I know I don’t have to wear garlic around my neck to ward off the apparently oncoming Obama evil.

    And, that picture of Mr. Nattering Nabobs brings back some really bad memories.

    Wait, if Barack Obama reminds you of Richard Nixon, does that mean the wingnuts are conceding that he spent the 60s beating up the Commies in California? Does that make Joe Biden into Gerald Ford? Or George Bush into LBJ? If so, who is JKF? Does Dennis Prague become Janice Joplin?

    So let the record reflect: I am not saying that Timothy Geithner is as corrupt as Spiro Agnew proved to be or as unfit for the office to which he, Geithner, aims. It would be far too premature to make these claims.

    This is how he ends the post. What’s notable is that nowhere in the post does he say what he is saying. He starts off by saying, does Geithner remind you of Agnew? Then he spends the rest of the post saying why the comparison is unfair.

    I love when people do this. From what I heard, it pretty much what Goldberg did with the entirety of Liberal Fascism.

    Make a claim or comparison. Then go on to say that the comparison is not really fair or valid.

    But to the rabid wing-nuts, the message is clear: Obama is Nixon. Liberals are fascists.

    It’s the most underhanded, dishonest form of commentary out there.

    Obama is exactly like Nixon in two ways:
    1. There are five letters in his last name.
    2. He writes his own books.
    What more do you need?

    You would think that the PUMAs would be reminded of Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, but that would kill all their haet for an Obama appointee, so it’s understandable that their memories of the early 90s would be a bit….blank.

    How, exactly, does it help the GOP to compare who they consider questionable Dems to GOOPers who are widely considered to be questionable? Is "OMG they are almost as bad as us?" and an effective tactic?

    Wait. Obama is a Liberal. Does that mean that conservatives have proved Nixon was facist?

    It proves that liberals are conservatives from the 1960s, if that helps.

    3. He has a healthcare plan more progressive than anything that’s likely to get passed.

    I’ll vote for #2 just because the word ‘Sherlockness’ is so cool. I’d also vote to shorten TogerBeat to TogaBeat. It has a nice fratboy ring to it.

    Winston Churchill reminds me of Captain Kangaroo.
    Peter Pan reminds me of Calvin Coolidge.
    Peggy Noonan reminds me of Fred Flintstone.
    Betty Boop reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt.

    Well, not really.

    Did you see their new conspiracy theory yesterday WRT the interview done back in 1996 and just published by Le Monde? According to the wiley PUMA’s why would such a major newspaper be interviewing an unknown guy and his wife back in 1996 when he wasn’t even a senator yet?

    Exhibit A:

    "Except this interview was given in 1996. Why was Le Monde interested in the Obamas in 1996 when he wasn’t even a blip on the radar screen and hadn’t won anything yet? Let’s think about the implications. Le Monde would have had to have known he existed. He was just an obscure Chicago lawyer with no major accomplishments and no election victories under his belt. Who the f%^* would have cared? *I* had won more public offices by 1996 than Obama. Le Monde wasn’t beating my door down for an interview. So, the question is: who has been grooming him and for how long?"

    This is so full of fail it is pathetic (natch) mainly due to the fact that Le Monde never interviewed him, it was an author working on a book about American married couples who did (and who chose not to put him in the book cause he and Michelle were too "normal") Le Monde just recently found the transcript of the interview. Secondly I dunno maybe the fact that he was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review might have had something to do with it, ya know cause his fizzog had been on the front page of all the major newspapers in the US or something.

    The author, Heidi Li Feldman, is the most pretentious, irritating PUMAtard since Lady Lynn Forrester de Rothschild of "I say, Muffy, Obama is an elitist!" fame. Feldman used to sign her blog posts "Heidi Li Feldman, JD, PhD" — an absurd conceit that was too much even for the brain-dead morons who hang out at the PUMA boards to tolerate.

    Oh, and she reminds me of Aileen Wuornos. I’m not saying she’s a $10 prostitute. As far as I know, she hasn’t killed several men, dumped their bodies in wooded areas and stolen their wallets and cars. But hey, if Barack Obama reminds me of Peter the Great, obviously Feldman is analogous to Wuornos.

    Quick SAT verbal question:
    (many red-staters would fail fwiw)

    Barack Obama is to Richard M Nixon as George W Bush is to

    1. Richard M Nixon
    2. Millard Fillmore
    3. Thomas Jefferson
    4. Dick Cheney

    You can make a pretty convincing argument that Nixon was the last liberal president. Look at his environmental policies, for example.

    "You can make a pretty convincing argument that G.W. Bush was the last liberal president. Look at his AIDS in Africa policies, for example."

    The answer to both propositions is "Yeah, if you ignore EVERYTHING else they did and only focus on one or two cherry-picked items, and then view those items in the most favorable light possible, then you might be able to convince an absolute moron with that argument. Maybe."

    @Shygetz: It’s not just the environment. Look at his drug policies (focused primarily on drug treatment, rather than putting people in prison), normalizing relations with China, ballistic missiles, signed lots of civil rights laws, etc.
