Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Bark louder, little dog.

The willow is too close to the house.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Nothing worth doing is easy.

No one could have predicted…

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

This fight is for everything.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The revolution will be supervised.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

    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.
