Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

We’re not going back!

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

The new temporary speaker of the house is a spiteful little shit.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

    I looked at my own calendar this morning up at Camp David as I was working on this speech. It showed exactly 1,361 days remaining in my term. I want these to be the best days in America’s history, because I love America. I deeply believe that America is the hope of the world. And I know that in the quality and wisdom of the leadership America gives lies the only hope for millions of people all over the world that they can live their lives in peace and freedom. We must be worthy of that hope, in every sense of the word. Tonight, I ask for your prayers to help me in everything that I do throughout the days of my Presidency to be worthy of their hopes and of yours.

    guess who said this on “This Day in History”?

    @Ben Cisco: Pretty funny huh? Oh Noe’s, Mornin Joes is shocked that Obama would talk about offing OBL and is now explaining that there is a code among military heroes that you don’t go to the VFW and wave your medal around!

    @Raven: Don’t forget the part where you discreetly stuff some socks in your flight suit, fly onto a carrier, and make a speech under a big banner the rank and file slappped together in five minutes.

    (This was sarcasm. The Bush WH made a big fuss in the most orchestrated way possible.)

    If the Bin Laden raid had failed, Rove, Morning Douches and the rest of the Republicans would have certainly made it ‘political’. Hell, they would have hammered Obama until he left office.

    @Hill Dweller: Bingo. What does this ratfucker know about anything for that matter ?

    I love it that Obama ignores the poutrage from these scum bastids and keeps on doing it his way.

    @amk: Did Scarborough whine when the Bush people crawled out from under their rocks after the Bin Laden raid to give their incompetent former boss credit? Has he complained about people like Rove and John Bolton still trying to deny Obama any credit for the OBL raid?

    @Raven: Mourning Joe is a spectacularly useless meatbag. There is no lie he won’t spread, no cognitive dissonance he won’t embrace, no 180 he won’t turn in order to disparage, demean, or undermine this President. His hero strapped on a flight suit and got chauffeured onto the deck of a godsdamned AIRCRAFT CARRIER to take a victory lap, and the job wasn’t even done yet. And he has the BALLZ to criticize President Obama?

    As for that “code”, how the hell would HE know? He’s just another Walter Mitty, living vicariously through people who he would not deign to join when he had the opportunity, another NeoConfederate chickenhawk. F*ck him.

    International Labor is beginning to come up with numbers of third world workers injured by lack of industrial safety standards. They are still exposing people to asbestos, for Jeebus sake. Of course, there is no interest in amassing statistics by the governments that are profiting from the exploitation of their people and environment.

    Asia Monitor Resource Center has released a report that suggests 2 million workers a year die from occupational hazards.

    @amk:

    Thanks. That in conjunction with (re)watching the WHCD routine combined to give this Monday a good start!

    Not a surprise that Morning Joe thought Stephen Colbert bombed at previous WHPC Dinner.

    @Linda Featheringill: egg.sack.lee. I love the way the ad took its shots at the thugs (yes, thugs) early on and the last few minutes are all positive messaging about his achievements and what he wants for america. A perfect ad in short.

    Can’t wait for mittbot’s “but he is not ‘murkin ” rebuttal ad.

    Don’t waste any of my time perusing the real mouth-breathing rightist sites, but surprised that haven’t yet heard even a whisper of a hint pustulating from those quarters that Obama is now denying/dismissing/disrespecting/reversing the outcome of WWII and apologizing/capitulating/surrendering to the Japanese.

    Friday’s announcement by the United States and Japan that 9,000 U.S. Marines will be transferred from a base on the Japanese island of Okinawa is being hailed as a major diplomatic accomplishment. But there are also concerns the actual transfer will be fraught with numerous complications.

    It calls for moving nearly half of the 19,000 U.S. Marines off Okinawa. Up to 5,000 are to be re-deployed to the Pacific island of Guam and 4,000 moved to either Hawaii or rotated in and out of Australia. Source

    My week probably won’t involve all the awesome of a WHCD, but it will involve editing video and trying to pack the rest of the house before I move.

    “http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/30/obesity-costs_n_1463764.html”>

    The nation’s rising rate of obesity has been well-chronicled. But businesses, governments and individuals are only now coming to grips with the costs of those extra pounds, many of which are even greater than believed only a few years ago: The additional medical spending due to obesity is double previous estimates and exceeds even those of smoking, a new study shows.

    I liked Kimmel’s comment on the “yahoos” that want to bomb Iran…and the Netanyahus.

    It may not be the winning margin, but it sure is obvious that Obama has more charisma in one incisor that Romney has in his whole controlled, coiffed, and nasty head.

    I laughed out loud at the “here’s what I’ll look like in 4 years” bit.

    And taking on the dog-eating with snark was excellent.
