Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Let me file that under fuck it.

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

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

And, like every other American, he should have this right:

Congressman Barney Frank’s office has confirmed that the retiring 71-year-old Representative is marrying his longtime partner, Jim Ready, in a Massachusetts ceremony. A date has not been set.

It simply perplexes me how many straight people value their commitment to their significant other so little that the notion of two other people loving one and another somehow gets in the way of their relationship. Maybe it is because I am a lifelong bachelor, but I sorta only fucking worry about who is in my bed. I’ve got enough other bullshit to deal with to worry about what the rest of you dysfunctional sick bastards are up to.

    Good for Barney. Man’s got no more bullshit bad press to put up with anymore and doesn’t have to pretend otherwise. I’d love to see him end up as a bit of a talking head on the tee-vee. I think he’d improve the quality of the discourse a bit. Imagine him making pundits cry on CNN. Delicious. Barney Frank vs. Erick Erickson. It’d be like one of those old Tyson fights from the mid 80s.

    Good for Barney.

    We are going to miss him; he is one of the good guys.

    Barney should send a RSVP to santorums, just to fuck with them.

    True.

    Why does Romney only pay 13.9% in taxes? Because he can.

    Why do Republicans lie constantly to the press’ face? Because they can.

    Anything else?

    It is because, for those people, marriage is not about the love two people feel for each other. It is about the exchange of a woman between two men. *That’s* traditional, patriarchical marriage and gay marriage indeed does threaten it because it is about love, not exchange. Even though many of us have moved beyond Purity ball-walk down the aisle–give her away–slap a new name on her marriage, many, many have not and these things are not symbolic, they are real. Gay marriage threatens that.

    Thank the FSM. Bring it on, I say.

    I have four criteria that someone’s sex partner(s) need to meet:

    Competent
    Consenting
    Human
    Not my husband

    I figure as long as though 4 criteria are met, it’s none of my business.

    But if teh gheys can marry, it means less trade to pick up using a wide stance in Midwest airport toilets. That’s why the closet cases in the GOP oppose it.

    My husband says now that Barney has found happiness, we will have to divorce. I guess it’s a zero sum game.

    Sigh

    We will go through hell dividing up the cats.

    With so much gay marriage going on, how much longer can the Santorums stay married?We already know what all the undermining did to Newt’s first two sacred unions.

    Really, there must be a bunch (well, a few) of his GOP House-mates that Barney can invite to the festivities, just to tweak them. Or maybe just because he’d like them to be there. How many would show up? None, I guess, even those (assuming there are any) with whom he was on good terms. Cowards.

    Just so you know, I plan to borrow this shamelessly.
