Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

The jury literally has a bell they can ring to force Trump to show up on command. Greatest thing ever!

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

“They not like us!” (that’s for sure!)

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Let’s finish the job.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

In Soviet Union, corporation dissolve you

This post is in: ,

I’m still getting used to our new banana republic status:

Michael Isikoff finds an even more extreme case today: A Delaware corporation that formed itself gave $1 million to a pro-Mitt Romney super PAC and then dissolved. The PAC says it’s fulfilled its disclosure requirements — with the FEC, not the much toothier IRS. And that seems to be that.

This is more or less how money moves around Russian politics. For all we know, the Delaware corporation is owned by another corporation, registered in the Cayman Islands, with its directors another set of anonymous lawyers. Its money could come from, say, the government of Pakistan, which has recently shown an interest in illegal contributions to American pols.

    The total lack of any governmental controls over business that prevailed in post Soviet Russia is precisely what our Galtian Overlords want. The ability to exploit without any restraints, legal, moral, or otherwise, on their rapacious greed.

    I look forward to McMegan using this example when a PAC does something similar for a Democrat 24 years from now.

    @Villago Delenda Est: I’ve thought that what they want is China, where there is one party who claims to be for the workers, but who’ll decide who gets to be a billionaire and crush anyone who says otherwise.

    it could be Al Queda giving Mittens money…and we wouldn’t know.

    Now friends, in an era of globalization why should Americans be the only ones who can buy American politicians? I’d say take it to SCOTUS but this court would decide 5-4 that cash, no matter what its source, has an inalienable right to find its way to politicians pockets.

    I love the idea of a corporation that wills itself into existence and then selflessly dissolves back into oblivion for the love of Mittens and, presumably, the greater good.

    I thought AQ saved their donations for successful terrorists… like Eric Cantor.

    i don’t know what you wankers are so upset about, this just means that a couple of hedge fundy/lawyer types are too embarrassed to have their names attached to the ol’ mittster.

    feel the mormentum!

    In Soviet America, collapse coming soon.

    When the corruption gets this deep, the political system is no longer viable.

    Same shit that happened in Soviet Union, where the system was corrupt and useless and nobody had any respect for it anymore, then it was over.

    We have become a Mafia state.

    Someone should ask Mitt Romney about the $1 million donation his SuperPAC received from Pakistani nationals.

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    I wonder what the purpose of this corporation was listed as in its charter.

    It is a Delaware corporation. Is it even possible to look that up?

    Edit – nevermind. Del apparently does not even ask for anything beyond meaningless boilerplate. Gad I hate Delaware.

    Now that the race to the bottom is complete, sure, Delaware has a lot of company.

    Did you say somewhere you were opening a new business?

    @burnspbesq: Good luck!

    I was going to mention that a big biglaw here in Luxembourg is quietly but desperately trying to hire in your specialty, and you might want to think about being paid in Euros. But it sounds like you are getting what you want where you are.
