Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Republicans do not trust women.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

    I just examined all the pages in that tumblr and I now need to down the whole bottle of tequila I was saving for my 5 de Mayo celebration.

    I am never forgiving you DougJ!

    I’m sure it’s real. It’s the type of “humor” I see a lot of around here.

    Is this thing related to some kind of noodling?

    @beltane: I confess, like a lot of things here, if there is a particular joke or point to it, it goes right over my head. If there is something to ‘get’, I don’t.

    But if it makes Ryan look goofy, that’s enough for me.

    I didn’t know what ‘teabagger’ meant when I first heard it.

    Wish I had known when I saw some Congressman waving two teabags on either side of his head on some morning show, yelling about teabagging the WH.

    The wingnuts were the cause of my loss of innocence. Shame on them.

    @beltane: This is not funny, why does anybody think Ryan is good looking, he has that smug look of a teacher’s pet, just makes you want to punch him or something. Not attractive. At all.

    BTW I just spoke to husband kitteh in India. The funeral rites of the 10th day are about to begin, there are elebenty billion rites to be performed between this morning and the 13th day that is Tuesday. My MIL is like the Tamil Brahmin version of the church lady. So glad I am here.

    Sullivan would fuck it.

    Me, I’d fuck the one with some empathy. The dead deer seems like the lesser of two evils.

    Yeah, there was a tiny sliver missing, but I figured it was good enough for blog work (the real moon, not your picture).

    @schrodinger’s cat: Dude, there were crazy people who thought Bush was attractive. With Ryan, even though he does nothing whatever for me and even if he did his personality would destroy it, I can at least sorta kinda see how some jerks would think he was handsome.

    But Bush? I mean…no. I’d sooner fill my vagina with honey and let the red ants loose than have that piece of crap anywhere near my ladyparts.

    @Raven: Sorry! I didn’t click it, but I did read your comment about how you thought that this would lead to a civil war. This has been a crazy week for me. I had to run after checking BJ for a little bit, this morning. Things are slowly beginning to come back to normal around here.

    @Alison: Is not a dude but get your point. He just looks like an overgrown school boy to me.
    Any way the punditubbies are not a good barometer to what women find attractive, remember when they thought that Fred Thompson was the hawt.

    @Steeplejack:

    I went back and watched that slide show with “Ohio” and found myself getting really emotional. It surprised me a little. That was 42 years ago. I was a freshman in college, and it was real. Even at my bland Midwestern public university there were massive protests, and everything seemed to be teetering on the edge. I think about those poor kids and the lives they would have had if they hadn’t been killed.

    @Steeplejack: I’d been home since the previous September. The day after I watched the guard unass their duece-and-a-half’s on the University of Illinois campus and wondered what the fuck was going on. I sat in the barracks on the way to Nam watching the convention and came home to that. People have no fucking idea what it was like then unless they were in it. All this shit about how bad things are today. . .bullshit.

    @Raven: I had a garrulous Irish Catholic professor who was a Vietnam Vet he was an enlisted man in the navy. He liked to talk about any and everything under the sun except for Vietnam, it was one thing he never liked to talk about.

    @schrodinger’s cat: Brown water navy proly, they ran the rivers down where I drove a truck. People handle it in different way. I came home and screamed my fucking ass off trying to stop it.

    Here’s a pic of Professor Michale Parenti and the Illinois State cops that did the three-minute motherfucker on his face that day.

    @Raven: This was during the early days of the Iraq war, we were discussing the crazy rush to war and the talk came to Vietnam, his entire demeanor changed and he said that’s something he did not wish to discuss.

    @Raven: May be he just didn’t want to discuss it with us, I mean what do we know about being in a war, compared to someone who has actually been in it.

    @Steeplejack: I was a sophomore at a college not far from Kent State at the time (we played them in a loser football league). We all went on strike. But Kent State was really the culmination not the beginning, which began much earlier, actually in the Free Speech Movement in 1964.

    It took the Republican Gov. Jim Rhodes to precipitate it and then cover it up. A long-standing pattern of the Goopers. Rockefeller had Attica. Still both would be considered leftists to today’s GOP.

    I believe the modern GOP’s long term goal is to create a dictatorship. It won’t actually work but that’s what they dream of being since they are ultra-authoritarians.

    I knew about the Kent State Shootings, I had not heard the song, Ohio. why are you surprised? I was not even born when the shootings took place.

    @schrodinger’s cat: My grandfather never talked about WWII with either of his sons, but after I once I went into the army he had a number of long talks with me about his experiences and also about how, as an officer I should deal with NCOs and enlisted men (he had been a sergeant). His advice was very good. And his stories, for the most part, I have kept to myself.

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    I dated a girl in the ’70s whose father and uncle had both been in World War II. Her father, an incredibly charismatic and well-read guy with whom I exchanged books and had a lot of great conversations, would never discuss his wartime experiences. His brother, my girlfriend’s uncle, was very retiring and a compulsive hand-washer (definitely a case of what we would now call PTSD). I can remember being at family dinners where everyone would make conversation and graciously cover the fact that Uncle John was taking forever to come to the table.

    @schrodinger’s cat: I was in the student lounge (as they called it in those days) when I heard the news at my college. Was stunned. I felt that “those guys are coming after us!” A very ill sense. Then, 10 days l later, Jackson State. Never forget either campus.

    My dad was in Patton’s army during WWII. He would only talk about it when he’d had a lot to drink, inluding his experience as one of the first Americans to get to the concentration camps after the Germans fled. When I was older, and realized what a historical treasure his memories were, I tried to get him to tell me, but he never would. He’d stopped drinking by then.
