Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

He really is that stupid.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

I really should read my own blog.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

    Tunchers!

    We have an orange tabby, Butters, of similar size (he’s big boned!). If those two got together, they could be a Steelers draft choice.

    Is it suppertime? He looks a bit peckish.
    Welcome home, we missed you and we did behave which means we all need to go for a check up. No tearing down the place.

    @HumboldtBlue: Many years ago I had a shar pei and a golden retriever. The golden was good at tearing and chewing and the shar pei not so much. The shar pei could jump up on furniture and toss down the pillows from the sofa onto the floor. At that point, the golden could shred it and the shar pei could play with the leftovers. Good times. One time upon arriving home, I discovered there were a few chunks out of the edge of an oriental. After staring in disbelief and knowing the now ex was on his way home, I moved the rug and hid the edge under the furniture. The ex is long gone but i still have the rug and the edge is still under the furniture. lol

    @lamh34: UHOH.. Roger Ailes still thinks she is hot so I guess her job is secure. Greta is jealous because she is trying to justify his comments as meaning popular. I guess Roger never called her hot.

    re: greatest grifter ever, i was a bit surprised to read in an interview with one of the advisors on the mccain/palin shitshow campaign:

    “There certainly were discussions — not for long because of the arc the campaign took — but certainly there were discussions about whether, if they were to win, it would be appropriate for her to be sworn in.”

    Joe McGuiness won. This is an American Tragedy.

    well i guess praying doesn’t help because we are doomed now.

    No one will care who she supports. She has destroyed her career, she was a threat as President not another boob on the tube. We could work delegates, have them revolt at the convention, nominate her there. But people don’t trust her anymore

    Who is the first presidential candidate that will ask Sarah to campaign side by side with him?

    Well, Tunch looks in charge — as usual…

    Buddy is sitting right here as I type. He has no idea that in ten days he will be in a caryall on his way east…

    When Alan and I moved out here, we drove with Buddy and Bill in the “extendacab” part of the truck. Buddy was cool but Bill bitched the whole damned way cross country…

    I tried some of that “Cat Be Calm” stuff for their water, but I don’t think it did much. Will try the new pheromone spray this time, though I am hoping Buddy will tolerate travel like he did the last time.

    John, how does Tunch travel? How about other people’s experience with “travelin” cats?

    @trollhattan: Another good one:

    First and foremost, blessings to SP and her family in the years ahead. However, having said that, I can help but be angry and feel used about the last minute $$ push by SARAHPAC when Crawford wrote that we needed to really give to help Sarah decide. Didn’t like the last FB post of hers pushing the undefeated CD,Has this been a money ride all along? Did she decide months ago not to run, and just hung on through the end of the quarter to encourage donations to SARAHPAC?Shaken.

    @pragmatism: Perry has nothing to lose so he might go for broke. I can see that. He could promise her Secretary of State but personally, I would be afraid she’d bomb GA. (the state not the country since she does get confused sometimes.)

    @pragmatism:
    Ah, but her BOOK, which trades on the great poison she helped foist into our national public life, will make her COIN. She helped to toss an enormous turd into the punch bowl and now hopes to charge people to read about it. Wallace should have sounded the alarm at the time she and others were discussing whether or not it was “appropriate” for Palin to be sworn in. Nicole Wallace is an avaricious, cowardly toad (with appologies to actual toads).

    @MikeJ:

    “Ya think?” seems too all-purpose for this lot, but like longtime coma patients that occasionally come to, I suppose there might be the oddball Sarah(tm) fans who’re not completely lost to the rest of humanity.

    Okay, maybe one.

    It pains me to say it but since Sarah wants to spend more time with family, is it possible that another grandchild on the way? What’s Willow been up to lately? It would be so wrong not to speculate.

    Rusty Smith 22 minutes ago………………………..
    I’m about to throw up, I’m so disappointed, was at the Walmart to buy 5 DVDs to send out when the building was evacuated due to fire…glad it did now….think the last chance for this country just went down the drain…can understand her reasons, but she had it all, just like Reagan…sooooooo disappointed and fell like I been kicked in the gut….I will not, even if Obama goes back in vote for Mitt I’m sorry, but I’m having a hard time feeling any good thoughts toward Sarah right now, I’d put my total trust in her and at this moment am literally about to heave…..Our country needed her leadership

    According to his Facebook site, his favorite movie is SAW..

    Or you spent the day cow Tunch tipping
