Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

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

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

The words do not have to be perfect.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

    Gotta disagree with you there — life is AWESOME right now.

    And now I’m off to get some Superbowl Championship apparel.

    If by “better” you mean “Tunch is not angry and planning to take it out on my neck and arms” then yes, mo bettah when Stillers win.

    But yesterday’s handegg outcome is that favored by Real America(tm) and besides, the Chico Kid was MVP. Double-win.

    Funny thing.

    I’m still pissed off that my Colts lost last years game.

    I think a Peyton Manning/Ben Rothlisberger AFC Championship game would be awesome next season. At Indianapolis.

    We owe you one.

    @trollhattan: That arugula and broccoli have taken on the symbolic value of “oppressions” for the right, and for people like Beck especially, is perfectly symptomatic.

    Teenagers/children who don’t want to do what they are told, don’t want to do what is difficult, rebelling against maturity so that they can eat candy 24/7.

    It’s the Land of Cockaigne.

    I have to say that I reject your premise. My favorite part of the Super Bowl win by GB so far has been congratulating obnoxious Bear fans on the their NFC North division title. They enjoyed rubbing in that title win, so fair is fair.

    @Omnes Omnibus: OK, truce. Just bring some New Glarus down and we’ll call it even.

    I’m sure you’ve heard Tibetan culture and its excellent fish curries are thriving in our fair city.

    I hear that Nancy Pelosi went ahead in time, saw the Steelers lose and decided to throw the 2010 midterms because of it. So, yeah, everything is worse.

    Instead of going Galt in reaction to tax increases, why wouldn’t “the most productive members of society” simply work harder to make as much money? Just wondering …

    There but for the grace of Aaron Rodgers go I.

    I remember that feeling when Denver got past the Pack on ’98. Holmgren decided to let Denver score and that was that.

    John, I understand your pain but think how you would feel if your team went 4 times in a row to the big game and came home losers.
    At least the Steelers did win Super Bowls.

    HRA must be a Vikings fan.We are all depressed today. The Packers win their fourth Super Bowl and we are stuck with our dysfunctional franchse…

    There have been few flies on the Steelers for nigh on 40 years (unlike the 49ers extended Halley’s comet-like run*). If yesterday’s game was played again next Sunday, who knows what might happen. Not me, or any other NFL fan.
