To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Be a wild strawberry.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Republicans in disarray!

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Usually wrong but never in doubt

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

    but every time I see mimes I want to punch them in the neck

    The ones on stilts always skeer me.

    I’m pretty sure the tags are wrong – I can see the clowns, but it’s all shot waist-and-above, not a clown shoe in sight.

    Huh. I wouldn’t have thought there’d be that many to be found in West Virginia. Do they have a mime program at your college or something? A halfway house for recovering mimes?

    DCCC didn’t waste any time reaching out to the historic donor base. I got a call tonight from a guy with a wicked Bahstan accent. I told both DCCC and DSCC that my checkbook was closed until there was a health care bill ready for the President’s signature. There is, so I gave.

    Are you kidding? You haven’t heard of the gypsy mimes of West Virginia? Traveling bands of mimes that accost travelers and pretend to pick their pockets, feign armed robberies and practice other acts of general thievery?

    JC has every right to be on his toes about this silent threat!

    I can’t stand clowns. Ever since I read It, I keep waiting for them to get all evil with pointy teeth.

    Pennywise was some scary shit.

    They were also assaulted by the bodyguards of this guy, who got them in headlocks (women too) then complained that they got makeup on them (the bodyguards) while they stabbed ballons with knives.

    The SWAT team sent the Beck (!) people away, but one bodyguard was reportedly arrested for assault. Yeah, haha mimes so amusing. It got nasty.

    Rachel just did an amazing difference between Reps and Dems bit it was over at :54 after the hour. Please front page it soon, so it can reach more people.

    Yeah….obviously I’m not really for a group like NumbersUSA (though to be honest I don’t really have a dog in this immigration fight at all) but just as importantly I really don’t go for that sort of aggressive, caustic activism. It’s just tacky and begins a process of escalation that just really never seems to conclude in any sort of responsible way. Not that I am totally against violent protest. I guess what I am against is mixed signals.

    Damn damn damn. F*ck the t-baggers. F*ck all the republicans members of Congress who cheer those advocating violence. Just on Rachel — not only was Slaughter’s office vandalized, but Giffords (AZ-8, my congresswoman) Tucson office was hit. The glass window/door (not sure; perhaps both but the picture wasn’t clear) was shattered, perhaps with a pellet gun, they’re not sure.

    Cowards did this in the dead of night but on the plus side no one was hurt (although her staffers stay late, so this was lucky). F*ck them. And way to go, anonymous f*ckwits; way to get me to volunteer even more than I already was. Thanks for including her on your Act Blue list.

    I’m a fan of Lord Vetinari’s solution to the mime problem: Throw them in a scorpion pit.

    @Callope Jane: remember all those left-wing acts of vigilantism after the Supreme Court awarded the presidency to Bush in 2000?

    Yeah, me neither. Just think what they’d have done, had it gone the other way.

    I know this is wrong, but every time I see mimes I want to punch them in the neck.

    The fuck? Everyone feels that way. Shoosh, Opus whacked a mime.

    @r€nato: “I’m terribly concerned about all this mime-ism against Mime-Americans.”

    Oh what, you want to give them “special rights”? Special “no neck-punching” rights?

    @Jon H: It’s unnatural. If God had wanted us to mime, he wouldn’t have given us vocal chords.

    Sort of like if God had wanted us to play soccer, he wouldn’t have given us hands.

    At least it wasn’t the Bread and Puppets folks. And yeah, those whistles are freaking obnoxious.

    But there ain’t no need to punch anyone in the neck.

    And seriously, putting mimes in headlocks while stabbing their balloons? Next time maybe they should send the ninja mimes.

    I wouldn’t have thought there’d be that many to be found in West Virginia.

    Come on, West Virginia is well known for its coal mimes.

    And this guy’s complaint: “Help, the mimes are trying to silence me!” Oy vey.

    Eh, I’m not that into the white face mime stuff, but it’s always been fashionable to hate on mimes – even by actors who use mime techniques and should know better. Ever see Marcel Marceau’s weird zombie film Shanks?

    Over and over and over again, the “reporter” flogs the idea that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from citizens. This is a hugely popular myth among nativist morons in spite of the fact that there’s no statistical correlation between unemployment rate and size of illegal populations. There probably are arguments to be made about immigration, but anyone who cites jobs as their reason is simply lying. Like this idiot in the video – over, and over and over again.

    Want a balloon?

    BEEP BEEP Richie! They ALL float down here. When you’re down here with us, you’ll float too!

    The only thing more frightening than pennywise the clown is a grinning Dick Cheney

    And, you know, the thing about Dick… he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’.

    I can still hear those freaking whistles.

    I also love how there was “no free speech” happening… at a rally. People’s inability to understand that right is pretty amazing.
