Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Let me file that under fuck it.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

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

We will not go back.

In case you had the sense not to watch last night’s debate, you can read my Chirpstory of the live-tweeting snarkathon on my blog.

(I can’t post the script here because FYWP that’s why.)

    @Violet: “What’s a “Chirpstory”?”

    A way of collecting and organizing a series of tweets.

    Same as the over/under on the number of ABL posts you make douchey comments on…I suppose.
