Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Not all heroes wear capes.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

And Lanny Davis has signed on with another tyrant:

Embattled Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo has hired a prominent American lawyer to determine ways to peacefully resolve the postelection crisis in that West African country.

Lanny Davis says his first advice was to recommend full transparency regarding the Constitutional Council’s Dec. 3 determination that Gbagbo won re-election over opposition leader Alassane Ouattara.

Maybe his next piece of advice will be to shut down the death squads.

I know the Clinton/Obama wars of 2008 were painful for everyone involved, but to this day, I am glad Lanny Davis and the rest of those creeps are nowhere to be seen.

And has anyone compiled the complete list of scum that Lanny has represented. He’s such a putrid bottom-feeder.

    No one has commented yet. You are supposed to be on vacation.

    Go eat a rumball and kick back with the pets.

    That makes no sense on several levels. If you have post-election unrest, how would some high-priced fancy US political consultant help you?

    And even if you were in the business of giving advice, why would you take this problem on? You stand of good chance of not walking away clean. I know about a fool and his money, but there are some fools you should leave alone.

    And as we may remember, Melanie Sloan, Lanny’s new partner has started working for the little prick even as she still runs CREW. No wonder Greenwald left their Board.

    Perhaps Lanny will give Melanie the Ivory Coast account…

    Wow, that’s breathtaking, even for Lanny the Rat. Is he being paid in blood diamonds? Or hot cocoa?

    Wow.

    Lanny is a natural at being slimy and that is what attracts the slime that he likes to sell his ‘talents’ to.

    Ok, maybe slimy isn’t appropriate. How about slimy shit.

    Aaaand – Cole clocks in at less than 3 hours “vacation”.

    Do regale us with your mopping tales from the dark side, John.

    Melanie Sloan and Peter Orszag. There’s a New Yorker article about selling out in there somewhere. Too bad my daddy wasn’t rich enough for me to be a journalist

    It keeps any embarrassing stories about massacres and death squads out of the papers in the US, because the Villagers cover for each other and Davis is absolutely one of them.

    It’s to control the coverage of the story in the US, not anything to do with soothing the people of the Ivory Coast.

    Please, send Mr Davis this piece of the Ivory Coast elections law, which states the following:
    —
    Article 64:
    If the Constitutional Counsel notes irregularities serious enough to affect the sincerity of the ballot and the overall result, it announces the cancellation of the elections. The date of the new ballot is set up by decree at the latest forty five days after the decision of the Constitutional Counsel.
    —
    Then, ask Mr Lanny Davis to explain (to America) how in the world the Constitutional Counsel managed not to cancel the elections (as the law indicates), but cancel only the numbers from areas where Mr Ouattara won by a large margin, and declare Mr Gbagbo winner ???

    As ban Ki Moon said, this is a parody of Democracy.

    Gbagbo must leave, and it is a shame that some american lawyers will be billing this poor country for a few more $ before this dictator is forced to leave.

    A friend of the Ivory Coast.

    @IvoryCoastSoccerFan:

    Are you sure you know the ivorian constitution? there is no such article in the ivorian constitution. this is what the art 64 says:”Art. 64 Le compte rendu intégral des débats de l’Assemblée nationale est publié au Journal
    officiel des débats. L’Assemblée Nationale peut siéger en comité à huis­clos à la demande du Président de la
    République ou du tiers des députés.” As you can see nothing close to what you stated in your post assuming you speak French. Next time do your homework.

    Thanks

    Lanny J. Davis is actually doing an honorable thing to work for a peaceful resolution of the election crisis in the Ivory Coast. When did the concept of the infinite power of diplomacy and litigation become subordinated to preference of war and death for an entire population of about 22 million people?

    Lanny, I say, please help stop the blood shed and return peace and stability to that poor African country.
