Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

“They all knew.”

Petty moves from a petty man.

Bark louder, little dog.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

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

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

No one could have predicted…

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

    Weekend went by mighty fast. Looks like we’re going to have to keep an eye peeled for Hurricane Irene in these parts by the end of the week. Sure hope it just turns out to be a good soaking rain.

    @JPL:

    I agree. Wish one of these pop-up storms would at least cool things off. Well, looking at the projected path of Irene, if it doesn’t veer off or fizzle out, we may get some of the rain on the leading edge. But that’s probably close to a week away.

    How about those Braves!?

    It looks like prosecutors may drop the the charges in the Strauss-Kahn case. Link.

    ETA: Doesn’t mean he didn’t do it. Doesn’t mean he did do it and a political fix is in. Probably just means that prosecutors really don’t think that they will be able to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

    @SiubhanDuinne: We’re about 60-70 miles from the SC coast, so likely not so much in the direct path. We are on the evacuation route though, and if the coast is evacuated we’ll have to look at possible school closures due to sheltering, etc. So I get to be on call to alert the media*. Thanks for the good thoughts.

    *Yes, I do hear John Geilgud in my head whenever I say/type that.

    @Phylllis:

    LOL, I constantly use the “I’ll alert the media” line, probably to the point where my colleagues have forgotten where it came from!

    Thanks for that vid (I think LOL). I sooooo miss living in Japan (I had a condo 150M from the Harajuku train station for five years, and then moved to Shinshibashi in Osaka). Other places I’ve lived in, even Hong Kong, Singapore and now Bangkok, suck totally lifestyle-wise in comparison to Japan…

    Yes, this is a non-political post. The whole US political thing depresses me, even tho’ I have not lived in the US for decades, since I really do care about my country and still pay taxes to it. I wish I could see a positive outcome of all this. But it is hard….

    Oh, sorry. Don’t want to be depressing.
