Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

    I like it! Although the info-graphic geek in me objects to replacing “yes” and “no” with “greedy bankers” and “me” around “Who crashed AIG”. For aesthetic and logical consistency reasons only.

    Ot – though in keeping with general stupidity tag

    CPAC starts tomorrow and the violent tendencies of conservatives will be on display.

    CPAC will feature a Pelosi piñata and Reid punching bag.

    Can’t wait to see what they come up with to vent their rage onto Obama.

    “We’re hoping to have the females whack the piñata and males try their hand at a Harry Reid punching bag,” Christopher said.

    Should be a crowd favorite, and political winner.

    @General Winfield Stuck: I’m sure a target from the pistol range will somehow be highlighted. And the Secret Service will have to avoid immediately arresting the people who put this abomination up with our President’s name on it because it would be seen as too biased to liberals.

    Or some total shit like that.

    @General Winfield Stuck: That, in a nutshell, demonstrates why wanting liberals to use tactics similar to Republicans’ will never ever work. We have our own tactics–disorganization, fratricide, uncontrollable weeping. Our base will never be rallied with pinatas or punching bags.

    You could use this chart to create a story line that is better than anything Rand could ever dream of writing. I’m going with an uncannily gifted graffiti artist with an angular face who goes to a McDonald’s and rapes a Big and Tasty while delivering a 60 page speech under the heat lamps. I suppose the protagonist of this story would have to go to jail.

    @General Winfield Stuck:

    Are you fuckin KIDDING me? After all the obscene attention the emmessemm lavished on the Teabagger Six Hundred, I gotta hear all that AGAIN??

    Is it here in DC? Please God, another blizzard…..please, BURY these motherfuckers for good and all……I’ll take one for the team……

    @General Winfield Stuck: Imagine the fun if liberals tried this with a Sarah Palin pinata? I’m sure it would all be taken with good humor.

    And why have you posted a comment that is an attack on all special needs children born since the beginning of time 6,000 years ago?

    The flowchart makes me suddenly imagine Ayn Rand in Blazing Saddles:

    “Credentials?”
    “Rape, objectivism, selfishness, and rape.”
    “You said rape twice.”
    “I like rape.”

    Wait, is whacking a piñata a girly thing? Oh, and have you ever seen those piñata-whacking funniest videos where dad always gets it in the ‘nads? That’s what I hope happens at CPAC.

    Well, at least I can reply ‘yes’ to one of them.
    Features unfortunately quite ‘angular.’

    I guess round rosy cheeks=stupid commie.

    remember that book. I’m glad I only read one of them.

    If you read one, well, you pretty much have the gist of all of them.

    The best part of Rand is imagining what her perfect society would do to some 10 cent philosopher that demanded an island so she could sit around all day writing essays on the virtues of selfishness. I don’t think there’s room among the self reliant for Philosophy majors. That’s one o them high falutin’ LIBERAL arts degrees after all. What do you produce for society, Ayn Rand? Bad fiction? Oh, we got that covered TYVM. We need people with actual skills.

    As in, “I’d totally hit that piñata” ? ‘Til the candy spills, bro!

    Segregating whack/punch activities by gender is sexist, see. Free to whack/punch, you and me.

    So I just googled Rand and rape to see what it was all about and learned a little bit about the Fountainhead.

    I was surprised to find the lead revolutionary character as an architect. It’s a particularly poor fit for the points she is trying to make. Rourke wants people to pay him money to make buildings nobody wants; when they don’t he throws a tantrum. He seems more like narcissistic spoiled artist than a angularly-faced revolutionary.

    @JK: The best part about that is reading what some conservatives really think differentiates them from progressives and liberals.

    Through the Constitution, the Founders created an enduring framework of limited government based on the rule of law. They sought to secure national independence, provide for economic opportunity, establish true religious liberty and maintain a flourishing society of republican self-government.

    Um, yes. Rule of law, economic opportunity, and religious liberty are good things. That is why Democrats are trying to provide those things for all Americans, and not just rich white Christian ones.

    Have all the conservatives in this country honestly never spoken with a Democrat before in their lives?

    Conservatives Unveil ‘Mount Vernon Statement’—Declare That America’s ‘Founding Ideas’ Are ‘Under Sustained Attack’
    http://www.themountvernonstatement.com

    Go figure. Who knew that the ‘Founding Ideas’ at least, as enumerated by the thugs who drafted the statement) consist of racism, incompetence, corruption, cronyism and reckless financial and environmental profligacy?

    And in other crazy news, a lawmaker in South Carolina wants to ban federal currency in the state.

    Maybe he can start doing those ‘buy gold’ commercials. Aren’t those the only ads left on Glenn Beck’s show?

    Conservatives See Yet Another Opportunity to Exploit Rubes, Unveil ‘Mount Vernon Statement’—Declare That America’s ‘Founding Ideas’ Are ‘Under Sustained Attack’

    CPAC’s gonna rake it in, you betcha. And by the time all the rubes are flat broke, the RW fat cats will either be dead or retired to their estates in Paraguay.

    I wonder if the long-term effects of that constitutional amendment requiring the use of minibottles will ever wear off, or is meth just picking up the slack?

    Failing to provide the services for which you have been commissioned usually leads to a market correction – you get fired. Using clients’ money to follow your bliss makes you a looter.

    Rand’s archetype of the Objectivist hero is a looter. And a rapist, also, too.
