Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So many bastards, so little time.

White supremacy is terrorism.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

“They not like us!” (that’s for sure!)

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

    @NotMax: 2 weeks after moving down under I watched a huntsman car surf at 80km/h for 25 minutes. In the end the driver pulled over and used a stick to chivvy it off the window. impressive feat. also, ICK.

    BBC is showing Pat Robertson’s BFF testifying at Den Haag right now. Charles Taylor says that since he apologized to the Liberian people they should let bygones be bygones.

    really, is that all republicans can do is whine, cry, masturbate, complain and lie?

    to quote Patsy Stone. “Oh for God’s sake, just go ahead and die!”

    Just found out Tim Minchin is going to be playing Judas in the new London revival of Jesus Christ Superstar.

    @Yutsano: Shouldn’t you be surgerizing?

    Also too, venomous and duck-billed > ant-eating and toothless. Just saying.

    @the fugitive uterus:

    For one thing, we’d have one standard that would allow people to switch networks without changing hardware, much to the disgust of the CEOs of the various wireless services, as it would cut into their hookers and booze slush funds.

    For those who have old people they care about:

    I found a medical description of dementia.

    If you forget something, even if you have difficulty findings words, but remember it a few minutes later, you’re forgetful. Your brain failed to find the desired item on its first search.

    The brain of someone with dementia might also fail to find the target on the first try. But the demented brain doesn’t conduct repeated searches, doesn’t continue looking. It just drops the whole search and goes off to think about something else. Tra-la-la.

    You’re welcome.

    Your forgetful commenter. :-)

    @the fugitive uterus: I’d assume that the rules would be written such that only heterosexual phone calls would count as in-network and every call by an inner-city black youth would somehow be a roaming call.

    Oh my.

    “Dreams From My Real Father,” a 97-minute film narrated by an Obama impersonator, weaves the narrative that Obama’s grandfather wasn’t a furniture salesman but an undercover CIA agent who convinced Barack Obama Sr. to marry his teenage daughter to hide the fact that she was impregnated by a 55-year-old communist named Frank Marshall Davis.

    @dmsilev:

    “Dreams . . . ”

    That is just too funny.

    Aside from the sheer fantasy of it all, why do they care who his daddy was? Political opinions are not genetically encoded, are they?

    But of course you don’t care about genetics if you think that all science is suspect.

    Oh my, Krgthulu brutally shaves the Moustache in that post; thanks for the link! It’s so good as to be un-excerptable: each and every sentence is lethal.

    He seems to take an especial delight in defenestrating his fellow NYT op-ed columnists. Chunky BoBo must be grateful that he is simply beneath Krugman’s pitiless gaze.

    The wingnut hive has quickly infested the comments section there. General Stuck appears as well however to fight the good fight.

    As long as Krugman continues to write such pieces, he refutes Yeats’ in “The Second Coming” that “the best lack all conviction.” He battles valiantly against the “rough beast.”

    You can’t call them forgotten when they get a mention in the They Might be Giants song “Mammal”.

    I don’t remember seeing this about Sully when it happened in 2009. Nice to have friends in high places.

    I like how indignant the federal prosecutor got when the judge called out their corruption. The nerve of that judge to even mention equality before the law!

    @dmsilev:

    I’m not sure the birthers have thought this through since right now, the only halfway viable claim they have is that the problem with the president’s citizenship is that his father was not an American citizen. If they’re now saying that his real father was an American citizen, then he’s 100% American and they just wasted 4 years screaming about his birth certificate.
