Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s finish the job.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I was promised a recession.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Bark louder, little dog.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

    Dear God,

    More smiting please.

    Grover. The liar and grifter, not the Muppet.

    Thanks.

    The ultimate “entitlement” is to inherit a fortune.

    Why that particular “entitlement” isn’t a concern, but Social Security subsistence is, really does not elude me that much. The former entitlement is for a select few, the latter for the vile masses.

    Oh Grover….What are we going to do with you?

    Tar, feathers and nice long rest in some hellhole prison would be a nice start.

    OT, a little interesting fallout from the Casey Anthony case:

    According to a software designer who created the computer program used by police and prosecutors to allege that Casey Anthony had conducted a Google search of the word “chloroform” 84 times, the prosecution erred in their assertion regarding the computer search and knew they might be doing so prior to the conclusion of the Anthony trial.
    __
    Bradley says that upon discovering the mistake, he immediately emailed and phoned prosecutor, Linda Drane Burdick, and Sgt. Kevin Stenger of the sheriff’s office to disclose his findings, expecting that this new piece of information would be provided to the defense.
    __
    It was not.

    The prosecution cannot withhold exculpatory evidence. This may have guaranteed a new trial had the jury not come in with a not guilty verdict.

    The prosecution cannot withhold exculpatory evidence.

    The prosecution was operating under the assumption that they were covered by the Nancy Grace rules of jurisprudence.

    I love this language from the Heritage Foundation flack

    I believe capital gains taxation is a uniquely powerful tool for good or evil in terms of economic growth…

    So recessions are evil? Does that make Bush the anti-Christ of economics?

    JimPortlandOR

    He’s not only a liar, he is a truly evil power muncher. He’s been at this ‘shrink the government until it is small enough to drown in the bathtub’ for years and years. Why does he do it? “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of man”.

    “Someday”, we may be privileged (like the Shadow) to learn what awful things he has done in pursuit of this James Bond-like classic evil goal.

    It’s like Murdock and Nixon. He looks clean because everyone if afraid to probe deeply into what he’s done.

    More OT — So the story broke about Michelle Bachmann’s headaches, and her security manhandling ABC’s Brian Ross who tried to ask her about it. I just looked at the Swampland post on it and saw Michelle’s “prepared statement” about her migraines. It contained this:

    But I’d like to be abundantly clear: My ability to function effectively will not affect my ability to serve as commander in chief.

    What does this even mean? If she functions effectively she can’t be commander in chief? If she doesn’t function she can still be CIC? She can be CIC no matter how ineffectively she functions? Huh?

    Grover Norquist is a liar.

    True.

    Now consider these statements…

    + “Social Security is the cornerstone of the social compact in this country.”
    + “The underlying system is sound. The actual problem is a projected cash shortfall that can be readily solved.”
    + “On issues as fundamental as how to protect Social Security, a candidate for president owes it to the American people to tell us where they stand,” because you’re not ready to lead if you can’t tell us where you’re going.”
    + “I do not believe that we need to cut benefits or raise the retirement age.”
    + “The best option, in my view, is to ask the highest income Americans to contribute a little bit more by raising the ceiling on what is currently paid on the amount of earnings subject to the social security tax.”
    + “We need to stop borrowing millions from the Social Security trust fund” in the federal budget.

    @Violet:

    She can be CIC no matter how ineffectively she functions?

    I think that’s exactly it. It’s not the job she wants, it’s the title. If she were president, she’d do like St. Ronnie did and appoint a bunch of people to do all her work for her. Then she’d focus on all the stuff a president really does, like posing for photos and inviting all kinds of important people to the White House.

    Norquist would definitely want to see the pictures. Then he’d swipe them and keep them in a secret hiding place.

    Yep. Whatever one feels about the verdict, this stuff on the part of the prosecution, if true, also perverts the cause of justice.

    Are you saying she gets migraines because she’s done something to deserve it? That’s kind of unfair to people who suffer from migraines. A lot of nice people have problems with migraines too. Are you saying they did something to deserve them?

    More OT but only cause I’m so in love with Bachmann’s effectivenss not being a bar to here being CIC

    Yates first wrote: “I am coming over to see the PM at 12.30 today regarding [redacted: national security] matters. I am very happy to have a conversation in the margins around the other matters that have caught my attention this week if you thought it would be useful.”
    __
    On the same day, Llewellyn responded: “On the other matters that have caught your attention this week, assuming we are thinking of the same thing, I am sure you will understand that we will want to be able to be entirely clear, for your sake and ours, that we have not been in contact with you about this subject.
    __
    “So I don’t think it would really be appropriate for the PM, or anyone else at No 10, to discuss this issue with you, and would be grateful if it were not raised, please.
    __
    “But the PM looks forward to seeing you, with Peter Ricketts and Jonathan Evans, purely on [redacted: national security] matters at 12.30.”

    Why, Yes Minister!

    Dear Grover,

    Since its apparent that you don’t like taxes and can’t seem to find any reason that would justify the paying of taxes, please take thee hither to Somalia, where there are no taxes and feel free to spend your money without the interference of any government entity.

    The rest of us would like to live in a society where schools are funded, roads are paved, food is checked, the environment is safe and the courts are staffed with ethical folks who understand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, plus having a few police officers around to take care of the drunks on the weekends.

    Sincerely,

    The rest of the U.S.A.

    @Dennis SGMM:
    I’m sorry you had to suffer from migraines, and that your wife does now. They really suck and I have sympathy for those that suffer with them, even if the people who suffer are not very nice or good people.

    One of my good friends suffers from migraines. She’s one of the very highest achieving people I know, with multiple advanced degrees, a very challenging job that takes her all over the world, a busy family life and a bunch of hobbies to fill those spare moments. Oh, and pets. She’s a dynamo. But when she gets a migraine and doesn’t start the medication soon enough, she pretty much has to hide in bed until it passes. It really sucks for her.

    Half of our population can barely balance their checkbooks. Disproving trickle down/voodoo economics to the masses after 25 years of shilling by the likes of Grover will take a large economic recession. Oh, I see what you did there…

    No, I took it to mean something like “Grover Norquist deserves a case of rampant running sores and screaming shits – though, don’t get me wrong, many wonderful people are also afflicted with running sores and screaming shits. It’s just that Grover Norquist DESERVES running sores and screaming shits. There is no justice in this universe.”

    Did I read you correctly, Dennis?

    She means that while the migraines might affect her ability to function, she can still launch that CIC football when she wants to.

    Americans for Tax Reform is a misnomer. It should be called Americans for Tax Rescission.

    The ultimate “entitlement” is to inherit a fortune.

    Fun BJ Fact: Grover’s daddy was a Polaroid VP. My grandmother used to clean his office.

    Warren (unlike Dr. Land, who was good to his staff) was apparently an asshole. Google “Grover Norquist ice cream cone” for an example.

    Grover himself (like so many of these sociopaths) has never had a non-political job.

    The migraines are easily explained.. it’s probably her gaydar going off every time her husband comes around and she can’t accept what her gaydar is telling her.

    Also, once she becomes president, she will embrace and put Koch on her tongue.
