Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The US Supreme Court is on the ballot in november.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Republicans in disarray!

“They not like us!” (that’s for sure!)

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

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

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

So many bastards, so little time.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Fuck that bum, let’s go Joe!

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

The problem people have with Biden’s age is the color of the VPs skin.

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Let there be snark.

The Iron Dog snowmachine competition

by | 47 Comments

This post is in: ,

John’s PUMA doppleganger is up to his old tricks:

In an unusual attempt to forge an alliance between two of the most prominent families in American politics, John Coale, a Washington-area Democratic donor and onetime adviser to Sarah Palin, urged the conservative Alaska governor to use her political action committee to help retire the presidential campaign debt of Hillary Clinton.

[….]

An outspoken Clinton supporter during the Democratic primary who switched his allegiance to the GOP ticket for the general election, Coale made his case to Palin at the Iron Dog snowmachine competition in Fairbanks, where Todd Palin was competing over Valentine’s Day weekend. His broader aim, say Palin camp insiders, was to help Palin develop a relationship with the former first family that he thought could bolster the polarizing governor’s standing with Democrats and independents.

I think it may be time to start thinking about a single name for the whole Palin-Coale-Van Sustern industrial complex. Something like Bennifer or Tomkat. I realize it’s complicated by the fact that there are four people and three last names involved, but I think it’s doable.

    Palin-Van Susteren-Coale = PVC, but that isn’t quite catchy enough, is it?

    Van Palin? But that doesn’t address the doppleganger. Although you could them do a parody of the old the VH song and call it “Hot for Governor”. It’s still early so all the synapses aren’t firing in unison.

    Man – I’m envisioning the heads spinning on Palin donors when informed that their money had gone into the pockets of the Clintons. Strap some magnets on them, put them in a generator, and we’ll have a whole new power source!

    Vancoalin almost sounds reasonable.

    Suspalin also has a ring to it, but like Van Palin leaves out Coale. Suspalinoale?

    You’ll never get a permit for it. Too unstable.

    Sounds like an 80s hair band that wrote songs dedicated to their love of proctology.

    Hmm, I’d say the PVC Illuminati is an excellent name for that gaggle of loons, but PVC tubing can be, you know, actually *useful*….

    BTW, how in hell did a perfectly good term, “snowmobile,” get replaced by “snow machine?” A snowblower is a snow machine, isn’t it? The tricked-out bar stools that those magnificent people in Drummond, WI race on are snow machines too, of the highest order if you ask me (and IMO have the much more banal snowmobile beat all to heck). Hell, my son’s salad-tong-like snowball maker is a snow machine, for crap’s sake.

    Is this just part of Governor Palin’s education program, replacing useful and accurate words with pieces of slushy shit that can mean just about anything you want them to?

    I don’t know what’s more amazing: that there’s a man alive who’d want to see Greta Van Sustern naked or … okay, that’s the most amazing thing.

    Van Poale? You lose most of Palin’s name, but I can’t imagine that getting hit with a Van Poale would be very pleasant.

    Also:

    “between two of the most prominent families in American politics”

    Yeah, the Snowbillies are right up there with the Clintons, Kennedys, Rockefellers, etc.

    Teh stoopid. It burns.

    I’m sorry. What am I not getting here. “two of the most prominent families in American politics.”

    Are the Palins a prominent family in American politics?

    I know the GOP is delusional, but please — could we have at least a smidgen, just a touch, an iota, a picosecond’s worth, if you will, of reality. Please.

    The Palins are a bad dream, best forgotten. Even the GOPers are ashamed.

    Sarah Palin got some bad advice and she rejected it.

    Why is this news?

    BTW – What person in their right mind would take advice from someone named John Coale anyway?

    Best I’ve got so far, but you see Palin worked twice into that. And also the word “colon,” at least phonetically. (Perhaps its only advantage over Vancoalin, which is also great. But both this and that drop the P, which is regrettable.)

    Will keep stewing on this. Some of y’all’s ideas are at least as good or better than mine. ROFLMAO at Andre #3 above.

    Doesn’t really have to be based on names does it? I mean, that would leave out stuff like Brain Damage Clusterfuck.

    Or, as I like to refer to any of their ilk individually when they show up on the TeeVee…

    “Oh SHUT UP!”
