Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.
Petty moves from a petty man.
The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.
Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

The gop is a fucking disgrace.
Shut up, hissy kitty!
You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.
You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Stay strong, because they are weak.
The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.
Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.
The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.
They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

@SiubhanDuinne: Why is this surprising? He’s on the Sunday talkers every fucking week.
Apparently, being unable to fly military planes straight makes one an expert on international affairs.

@JPL:
I love the all-but-explicit statement that it’s up to “us” to decide what kind of democracy is best for Libya.
And oh yeah, it took us 100 years after the Civil War to get the kind of country we want. (Nothing about losing it in the last 30 years, of course.) just so wrong on so many levels.
Happy birthday, Cat Lady.

@arguingwithsignposts:
Not surprising, I guess, just depressing. “Even the liberal Grauniad” etc.

@SiubhanDuinne: Notice the qualifier – he’s known as an expert in America. They didn’t say he’s an expert.
