Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

So many bastards, so little time.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Republicans do not trust women.

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

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

    And this was unexpected in which way, now?

    If this were the worst that they did, I’d be happy. Sadly — as we can see from the next FP post — it’s not.

    My only quibble: I was under the impression the phrase “too clever by half” means that whatever plan/action turns out to be 1.5X more clever than anticipated is one that bites the plannner/enactor in the @$$. Hence, I was waiting for the NRSC’s comeuppance in ABL’s post. Alas, there was none.

    But, yeah, the fake Conryn tweets are da shitz. Instead of being offered as something to envision on a blog, someone should actually tweet those.

    I’m not sure what the Repubs hope to achieve with this twitter nonsense. Or even the blank page nonsense.

    Most of the Twitterati are probably younger than most Republicans. Are they trying to impress the youngsters [younger than 50 years old] with their cool, savvy ways?

    And the wingnut base will believe every word. Reminds me of the old commercial with 3 kids and some food product, “Let”s give it to Mikey. He’ll eat anything”.

    I realize I’m exposing my age here, but you have it backwards: it’s a Life Cereal commercial and the point is that Mikey doesn’t like anything, so therefore it’s amazing that he’s actually eating the cereal.

    And, yes, YouTube has the original commercial.

    I would give them more points (bringing them up to -999,998) if the page returned a “404 Error: Budget not found.”

    Of course, that’s too technical for them.

    I’m not sure what the Repubs hope to achieve with this twitter nonsense.

    they’re out there, scrapping it up, fightin the good fight, takin shots where they can. and that keeps the base happy. and a happy base is a base that supports their team, votes for their team, and donates for their team.

    anyone here get the feeling that the DNC gives a fuck about the base? the only thing i hear from them is begging for cash.

    I think for the GOP, a “youngster” is someone who was in high school before Thriller came out.

    The scary thing is that I also remember commercials that were on when I was two years old.

    Oh yeah, now it’s coming back to me.
    Not quite a good fit then but the wingnut blogs, radio, tv can feed any bs to their fans and they will believe anything.
