A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

    It’s clear from the bottom photo that those trucks are Destructos. Which means he certainly has granite countertops and a rookie Pete Rose card. Also, shut up.

    We could use some awesome today. Does Karl Rove being purged from the GOP for the crime of insufficient loyalty also count as awesome?

    @MobiusKlein: Someone sneaking up on Glenn Beck and swiping his microphone would also be pretty funny. A movement of brave skateboarders might be just what this country needs.

    That really is awesome, isn’t it? Serious popcorn time. I know there’s plenty of work to be done, but the sheet level of batshit crazy that is coming from the other side is almost beyond belief. It’s not just Peak Wingnut. It’s like Wingnut Mt. Everest Base Camp. There’s still more wingnut to go.

    @beltane: For Glenn Beck, I was more thinking of switching the locale on his website to Spanish. But that’s a more advanced form of hacking.

    Man, I’m putting you down as a troll. You are the worst of firebaggers as far as I can tell.

    As I said yesterday, until the most awesome and fabulous Nancy Pelosi comes out and says what is going on, I refuse to even listen to Steny and his ilk and, most definitely, you and your ilk.

    @geg6: I actually looked through the comment section on some wingnut site that was trashing Rove. My favorite was the suspicion that he was secretly working for the other side.

    I know it shouldn’t at this point, but it still amazes me that the wingnut definition of “liberal” is “anyone who disagrees with anything I believe, no matter how small.”

    @Bob Loblaw: LOL, that all you got, Hoyer saying nothing one way or another. Jeebus dude, we already knew that, like with about all your brainfarts.

    Hoyer declined to draw a bright line on the issue

    And a word about TPM and some very sloppy reporting lately on several issues, and continuing to state that the House is going to vote on “permanent” tax cuts for the mc, where I have seen no direct quotes from House leaders recently confirming that. If Pelosi or Hoyer have stated recently they plan to make permanent the mc tax cuts, past what they have been describing as extending them, then I would like to see it.

    I could a missed it, no doubt.

    @geg6:

    Which means you’re actually agreeing with me. Isn’t that such a bummer?

    It’s my contention that Hoyer doesn’t matter one lick. Stuck is adamant that he’s the key to everything.

    From my perspective, Isom comes close to, but doesn’t quite arrive at, beating out “Kenny the Carpenter” for Internet Celebrity of the year.

    “Dude, you HAVE no Koran!” just doesn’t quite capture the 2010 Gestalt like “What the fuck are you yellin’ at me for? All ya’ll dumb motherfuckers don’t even know my opinion on shit.”

    TL;DR version of thread:

    Draft lexicon entry:

    Dude, You Have No Koran: Refers to an event on September 11, 2010, when hero skateboarder Jacob Isom brazenly swiped a Koran from racist preacher Davis Grisham, who was about to burn the book in a Amarillo, TX park. Isom said to Grisham “Dude, you have no Koran!” and fled on his skateboard, preventing the book burning event. The phrase is now used to mark when a wingnut is foiled in their attempt to do or say something bigoted and vile.

    Just wandered over to Red State to see what they were saying. From a post on the front page (I’m not going to link):

    There is no “I” in team. The primaries are done…some of us like how things turned out, some of us don’t. In the end, we’re here for one thing; to WIN.
    __
    We’re allowed to fight it out during the playoffs, bet for or against depending on our individual proclivities…but the Super Bowl has been set now, and it’s time to get in line behind the rogue’s gallery we’ve assembled. Gimme your hand and we’ll give you a leg up – it’s time to line up. If you don’t, we’ll be unhappy.
    __
    Any questions?

    Heh. Wonder how that’s going to work out for them?

    And “rogue’s gallery”? I wonder to which rogue this gallery belongs? Sarah Palin? Glenn Beck?

    @General Stuck:

    Tell you what, superstar. We’ll wager on it.

    The bill won’t have any built-in sunsets on the tax cuts for 98%. It will make them effectively permanent, thus requiring additional legislation to raise taxes somewhere down the line.

    When this bill passes, you leave this blog forever. If the 98% cuts are only temporarily extended (thus having a concrete end-date attached to them as the MWP payroll tax cut did), I’ll leave. Since I don’t actually give a shit about a blog comments section, whereas you’re psychologically dependent on it, this isn’t the most balanced bet in the world. But fuck it, you run your mouth so much you’ve probably had it coming for a long time.

    The 2% cuts are not in any way related to this bet. Enforcement would obviously be on the honor system. So sack up or shut up, General.

    Gawd, way to prove my point about you, dude. No better than Paul L or Brick Oven Bill.

    Edited to add: And the funniest thing about it is that Stuck and I rarely agree about anything. So you even brought us to a kumbaya moment.

    @Bob Loblaw:

    When this bill passes, you leave this blog forever

    But then there wouldn’t be anyone to spank your bottom proper. If the Bush tax cuts for the middle class are made permanent and signed into law before the election, then I promise to limit my wedgies on you to one a day, ah hell, let’s make it no wedgies for a year. If they aren’t made permanent, we go on like we have been. You can only win, or stay even. Pretty fair deal if you ask me.

    @General Stuck:

    It’s hard to look tough when you act like such a pussy. You couldn’t handle the stakes of a silly message board bet that wouldn’t be enforced anyway. Way to boost that e-cred, you are just so hardcore.

    It’s probably for the best though. I wouldn’t want you to break your widdle heart by losing the blog that means so very much to you.

    I don’t really care what you say to Stuck or anybody, but man, you sure are one scary internet tough guy. I mean, this is a comments section, so is someone commenting often a problem?

    Maybe you’ve heard about this thing known as discourse? Sheesh, take a xanax.

    One of the TPM links is titled, “Rove, O’Donnell & Palin Get Into Heated 3-Way”

    I saw that. Screen-capped it before TPM changed it. Laughed my ass off.

    And you know, if you substituted Rove with some better-looking dude, I might almost pay to see that porno.
