Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

This blog will pay for itself.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Everybody saw this coming.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

The lights are all blinking red.

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

Cross-Cultural… Misinterpretations

I don’t know why Erick Erickson hasn’t already announced a fund-raising drive to bring this… unusual… artwork celebrating President Obama’s visit to China back to a venue where it can really be appreciated…

Perhaps the Red State Strike Farce simply can’t decide who’ll get custody. Or possibly $15k is some $14,913 $14,999,913 more than Red Erick’s Army can scrape together?

(I really liked the YouTube video “Obama Marketing Hits China“, but Reuters has chosen to disable video embedding.)

    I dunno, maybe I’m just sick and twisted like that, but I think it’s kinda neat. And the fact that no matter what happens Obama never burns prolly rankles Erick et al to no end.

    So on their own, they could only raise negative fifteen million dollars? Man, I have a bridge I’d like to sell those guys.

    It’s too bad there wasn’t an equally inappropriate artwork presented in Japan. It would have been fun hearing Cokie try to explain the panties and tentacles.

    Just in time, just like the last time Republicans lost the Preznitzy, the anti-government militia movement is back.

    Some members of local veterans groups who attended an “Every Day is Veterans Day” ceremony Nov. 8 in Berwick, Maine, said they were surprised to find it was a kickoff for a new Maine affiliate of the national Oath Keepers organization, which has been described as part of a rebirth of the nation’s right-wing militia movement… Watts urged attendees to be wary of politicians, calling them “bullies.” He told the audience the country is at war on the domestic front with its government and described America’s leaders as being no better than Somali warlords. He said he wasn’t urging the audience to act violently against public officials, but asked them to get involved in politics so the Constitution is defended. He also talked about “revolution.” “A ballot is a bullet … we need to take this country back,” he said.

    And they’ll play the same word games being careful to make sure their followers just off the stage get the right message.

    Anyone who thinks jackasses like these give a flying shit about the Constitution outside their version of the 2nd Amendment, there is an important update from The Onion.

    That’s Obama? Looks more like Jor-El.

    I was thinking more the Human Torch, but I’d better not say anything or the wingnuts will start trying to prove that Obama was actually made in a lab. That being said, after reading Roy Edroso’s round-up of Bowgate, I wouldn’t be surprised if a solid chunk of them already think that.

    Personally, my favorite thing at the moment is the way the wingnuts are all obsessed about Presidential and diplomatic etiquette. Where were they when Bush Jr. was sexually harassing the German Chancellor?

    Jake Tapper has that covered:

    Obama’s handshake/forward lurch was so jarring and inappropriate it recalls Bush’s back-rub of Merkel.

    So it’s just the same as Bush’s inappropriate touching, see?

    God, “take this country back”. Can’t they get it through their thick skulls that THEY LOST. WE WON.
    Get over it.

    They didn’t bite at this statue; they are waiting for Dick Armey to commission the flaming statue of Barney Frank to get really excited.

    @Liberty60:

    A flaming Barney?

    I can hear a laughing Rep. Frank all the way out here on the West Coast.

    (Though the thought of Dick Armey getting aroused should disturb any right thinking human.)
