Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

All hail the time of the bunny!

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

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

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans in disarray!

Tick tock motherfuckers!

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

    Tennessee is facing a similar action, the legislature wants to deny teachers the right to collectively bargain. There’s a rally in Nashville to support teachers on March 5 from noon to 3.

    In other news, a conservative blogger went to Madison and recorded these pictures of left-wing “hate speech.” It’s kinda funny. Makes you wonder …. apparently “don’t f— with Wisconsin” is hate speech.

    Poor dears. The comments are pretty funny too … seems even the bloggers’ readers don’t see anything wrong with the signs.

    To whoever linked to tsundere in EE Kain’s thread, this TV Tropes site has eaten two hours at least of my life and I hate you. But Rand and Elayne under Strangled by the Red String was genius.

    of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world…

    i was sitting in keefer’s, a chicago steakhouse, with a bunch of friends celebrating my wife’s birthday last night, and who should sit down at the table next to us?

    andrew breitbart! fresh from madison. he was greeted by the serious young conservatives at that table as a conquering hero.

    we had a good time anyway.

    I remember when you self-proclaimed geniuses thought that someone supporting a cause that works against their own interests was a sign of mental illness or gross stupidity.

    As you swell in support of failshit public employees striking against YOU (and The Children!) so you’ll pay money you don’t have for their corruptly-bargained benefits… well, how’s that irony taste?

    eric…
    his “celebrity” status probably couldn’t get him automatic entrance into gibson’s.
    btw, he seems like one of those extremely self-important people who strut even when they’re sitting down.

    The Internationale? Are you trying to chase Kain away again? And those aren’t even the original words.

    “Don’t cling so hard to your possessions”?? Billy Bragg should be shot for what he did to the Internationale. Granted, the English version of the Internationale is a little dated, but the American version is solid. No need for this moralistic trash! :-)

    @Bender: When you idiots succeed in getting government pay restricted to only minimum wage, not only will our govt not function, but the private sector will be more than happy to lower the rest of our wages since there will be that much less competition for labor. So yeah, paying a tiny bit extra in taxes is well worth it, dunce.

    NYT:

    “Television replays appeared to show that Hardy, who led St. John’s with 19 points, stepped out of bounds before making his underhanded shot.”
