Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

No one could have predicted…

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Come on, man.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

    Which explains why my brilliant, funny comment yesterday was flagged as spam. For no fucking reason that I could discern.

    I feel better about it now, though.

    Akismet sounds Muslim. Are we at the mercy of a Muslim comment filter? FSM help us!

    I know that it’s been dominating the news for the last ten days so your probably sick of hearing about it, but I just heard Thom Hartmann talking about Osama Hussein Muhamad, the leader of the Islamic terrorist cell who’s still on the loose in Montana after a shootout with sheriff’s deputies 10 days ago. They apparently have food and weapons caches all over the state, and plotted to assassinate local officials, go to war with the National Guard and overthrow the federal government. I hope they catch him soon so I can watch TV without the constant news updates about these dangerous Muslims!

    It’s been barfing on us at The Rumpus for a couple of weeks now, though we moderate everything so it’s (oddly enough) a little bit less of a problem than it is for you, I’m guessing.

    FWIW, the full story of what happened to a couple of hijab–wearing women at NN and how the flashmob came to be is here.

    And Gaius Publius has his final thoughts on NN here. Gotta say I overwhelmingly agree with his points.

    I had to Google Akismet. If only there was an easy way to invest money in defense against unwanted online content.
    I smell a profit, but alas no clear winner at this point.

    Bleg update: Windows Explorer was crashing because of a bad shortcut on my desktop. (This explains why other logins were OK.) Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. Tip: if something similar happens to you, turn off desktop icons.

    Gotta say I overwhelmingly agree with his points.

    I’m very much afraid that you’re right, which means that the left has learned absolutely nothing from its 40 year long abandonment of electoral politics and decided that the best idea is to double down on what hasn’t worked since they gave up on the Democrats in 1968.

    I’m going to go bash my head against a wall for a while.

    Of course, JCole could have more undressed mopping adventures
    and invite us to bare with him.

    This is probably old news, but, first time I saw it:

    The following is ‘biggest TV pundits’, based on an algorithm of media appearances, etc.

    Truly puts the lie to the idea of ‘liberal media’, is all I’m saying.

    At the time I’m writing this comment, rankings are:

    1. Newt Gingrich
    2. Sarah Palin
    3. Karl Rove
    4. Tom Brokaw
    5. Ann Coulter
    6. Juan Williams
    7. Dan Abrams
    8. Andrew Sullivan
    9. Mike Murphy
    10. John Oliver

    Two ‘objective’ reporter, 6 Republican operatives/politicians, whatever Andrew Sullivan is, and the comedian, John Oliver.

    Liberal media, my a$$.

    I’m a little puzzled as to those out there in the blogsphere (Sully & others) who now have multiple posts up pointing out that ‘some say’ Jon Stewart was dishonest when he said Fox News viewers were the most misinformed audience.

    That can be parsed (as politifact did) so that it’s meaningless but the data is pretty significant and Sully, Politifact et al are lying whores on this one.

    Why is that so hard to just say & let the lying whores piss, whine & moan about being called out for being lying assholes.

    This makes sense I guess

    At 51-39 approval, Tester most popular sen. we’ve ever tested who trails for re-elect; lags Rehberg 47-45 despite Rehberg’s 44-45 approval
