Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

He really is that stupid.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

    You just made me make a weird gurgle/adorable noise at work, I don’t like you.

    Your dog however…

    I’m getting messages from that look. “You will give me treats” and “you will take me to the dog park.”

    It is just me?

    I know I’ve already told you this, Tim, but…

    I LOVE HIM! I LOVE HIM! I LOVE HIM!

    If I didn’t already have two doggies, I’d run up to Squirrel Hill one night and steal him from you.

    When can we expect him to roll out “Magnum”?

    Waiting…

    OT: Interesting article in the NY Times on the president of Cote d’Ivoire who is right now holed up, defiant, in a luxurious bunker in the presidential palace. He knows that if he’s killed, the 46% of people who voted for him will rise up against the election winner, so he’s sitting tight. But this is the part I found most interesting because there are some parallels:

    After last fall’s election, Mr. Gbagbo and his wife, Simone, refused to accept the results, in part because they had become evangelical Christians, and their pastors convinced them that God alone could remove them from power. Every day on state TV, fanatical clergymen called Mr. Gbagbo God’s representative on earth, and the winner of the election, Alassane Ouattara, the Devil’s. Many young Ivorians, poor, illiterate and easily brainwashed, believed this.

    @Culture of Truth: Um, their caving is at $38B, not $33B. The democrats still suck at these negotiations.

    Their problem, they care about the people it will affect.
    The GOP – terrorist hostage takers.

    Love that dog expression, seen it many times. I read it as either “I know I’m gorgeous and you adore me” or “What’s up, human? If we’re not going to do something fun, don’t look at me, I’m feeling really comfortable right where I am”.

    Is there going to be a open thread again soon for commenters to hawk their wares? I think it’s been awhile. I enjoy seeing the amazing things people create and do and hopefully throw a little business their way.

    “I call this look “blue steel”.”

    HAHAHAHA!!!

    (Needs a feather boa collar, though.)

    Okay, how have you disappointed him this time to engender that look?

    I remember hearing that Max is the most popular dog name in the USA.

    @asiangrrlMN: Bleah. I may extract some vengeance by calling in sick today. Since this will be the last time I can do so unless/until ink hits paper. And it won’t accrue during the shutdown. The fact that I feel like cwap is just icing on that cake. At least the drugs are working.

    Max is gorgeous. In this shot he also reminds me of Santa’s Little Helper. Guess it’s the upturn on the nose.

    One of my pack of rescued mongrels can sometimes have a look my son calls “eyes of iron” (coal-black and narrowed, with no white sclera visible). Much more threatening than this picture of Max’s “blue steel” look (I’m with Nikki on “blue coquette”).

    Mine’s an 8 year-old 50 lb. mostly black-furred mix of various things (the mutt, not my son), who can be incredibly sweet, but also incredibly “demonic” at times (well, “Tasmanian devil” anyway).

    I’ve had dogs of all kinds over the decades, and my dear Tru (Truman – we somehow got in the habit of naming our beasts after presidents, though never any modern Republicans) is the most untrainable I’ve ever had.

    He was rescued after spending his first year with several homeless guys (was at a homeless shelter just before he landed at our no-kill animal shelter). Maybe he came wired to be the way he is; maybe it was that first difficult year on the street (nature vs. nurture and all that). Who knows?

    He’s wonderful with his human family and our friends, and his various dog-brothers, too (he’s been around long enough to have had a number of them in his pack, and now he’s the eldest of the current three). Strange people and dogs away from home, not so much.

    As my wife says, we have to protect Tru from himself, and we’re always verrrry careful with him in his rare public forays (we walk him only at late at night when our desert suburban streets are most likely to be empty of people and dogs, though that’s also when the coyotes are typically out and about).

    @asiangrrlMN: A) I spiked the workday. So I haz three day weekend before indentured servitude on Monday.

    B) They are for my back, which may be improving on its own but just in case gonna get another drug series from the doc on Monday.

    Max is a beautiful dog, and he shares his home with a very gifted portraitist.

    I believe the technical term for Max’s expression is ‘melting’. The official British Kennel Club standard for papillons used to call for a “melting” expression (“Any dog lacking this must be considered plain, points to be deducted at the judge’s discretion.“) Obviously the trait is far from breed-specific!
