Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Motown is Joe-Town!

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

    This is like when they had a Congressional Committee of some sort on Second Life. You want to know why no one showed up for that (except a naked guy, a space alien, and two furries making out a corner)? Because NO ONE USES YOUR CRAPWARE! Twitter sucks. Second Life sucks. Please use apps that don’t suck. Thank you. That is all.

    I think it’s about time that Batman had a new arch villain to knock heads with.

    The Twitterer — Twitter me this, Twitter me that. Make Dick Cheney the first to act the part in the next film, and wingnut’s will love themselves once again.

    Are you going to give us the address for your Twitter feed, DougJ?

    I don’t even really understand what Twitter is.

    That’s why I could never run the NRCC.

    I follow some Rs that I oppose. It’s interesting to see what they’re up to. I’m not sure it’s safe to assume all of those followers are supporters.

    BTW, I think the Rs are really trying to work Twitter. First they were tweeting in the dark on the House floor.

    Also, it wasn’t long ago that Hoekstra was tweeting live updates regarding his Iraq trip even though apparently the military would prefer to keep such things on the DL for security reasons.

    And, some Rs have noticed that I follow other Rs, so they have started following me; which I must believe is an attempt to get me to reciprocate by following them.

    Speaking of sad, the House passed the stim pack today. In a shocking development, all the the Republicans voted no. Again.

    Country First, indeed.

    Twitter is so important to the NRCC that their web page is literally that: one page. They’re on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube, but they can’t build a web site.

    @DougJ:

    I don’t even really understand what Twitter is.

    It’s fast becoming a breeding ground for neocon misinformation to propagate. Like talk radio. It needs more liberals.

    Regardless of their interon base, the current minority party has been more effective in the last month than Democrats have been in the last eight years.

    I’m pretty sure Wil Wheaton has a larger Twitter following that the NRCC… I know Stephen Fry does.

    My Hero Ted Dziuba’s take on Twitter:

    Twitter, which is widely accepted as the drum major of the Web 2.0 failure parade, released an open source project called Starling in January of this year. Starling is the Ruby-based messaging system that runs Twitter’s backend. Yes, Twitter, the nonprofit web service known widely for its downtime, dropped its disaster-producing shitpile on the world. Why? Maybe they thought more competent developers would fix their problems. The more likely scenario is that they wanted to get a quickie beatoff from the fake tech media to make themselves look more important. I am guessing this is why no code has been released for Starling since it was open sourced. Oops.

    Ted’s sort of the Matt Taibbi of the tech media.

    Boy, Zifnab, you just keep pissing on two of my favorite time-wasters, K? Apparently, I’m running low on schadenfreude, and seeing people get that pissy about things that don’t hurt them personally just gives me warm squishies inside.
