Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

    TPM is en fuego right now…check out this link:

    Maine’s new gov thinks that if 35 states join a lawsuit (not win it, just join it), it nullifies the law automatically. Just as insane….the reporter doesn’t even bother to correct or question him.

    And I’ll bet $500 that when someone finally does question this dumbassery, he’s going to blame the “librul media” for “taking it out of context”, natch.

    Wow, does that tune ever suck complete ass. You’d think at some point the producer would’ve told the guy “why don’t you at laest wait until your voice finishes changing beforeyou try to sing. Although, since you are almost invariably flat, you should probably work more on playing guitar or piano.”

    That was fucking horrible.

    Reading Douthat’s latest, I’m still amazed that every one of his columns can be summarized thusly:

    “Based on [anecdote/one poll/some trifling observation] and my reductionist understanding of politics and history, I will now use reasonable-sounding language to lament the fall of a mythical happy past where everyone just did what the Church told them.”

    Reactionary politics with a village vineer and observations that range from banal to staggeringly wrong: for this, Douthat gets space at the Times?

    So I’m scanning Memeorandum, and I see a group of posts around one titled, “Lefties Hate Israel.” I figure, ok, same old fauxtrage from usual band of Likudniks. Somewhat curious which “lefties” they are talking about, I click the link to discover “A leading leftist website is urging liberals not to donate to Israeal’s fire relief fund.” Ok, so what “leading leftist website” is this? Oh, it’s The Atlantic. And who is the dirty anti-semite who hates Israel and wants to see it burn? That would be Jeffrey “Look at Israel Funny and You’re a Nazi” Goldberg. Yes, the Likudniks and their ally-in-hoping-you-all-go-to-hell-so-I-can-get-raptured Catholic dipshit extraordinaire Jim Hoft have decided Jeffrey Goldberg is a “lefty” who hates Israel.

    You can’t parody these people. They do a better job themselves.
