Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

This really is a full service blog.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Republicans in disarray!

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Bark louder, little dog.

    @Ash Can: He is not from NC, George Tierney, Jr. is from Greenville, SOUTH Carolina. The Other Chuck, the reason it’s notable is not the random assholeishness so much as the frantic attempts to scrub blogs talking about the random assholeishness via litigation threats. Entertaining in the same way Santorum publicly wonders why google can’t just remove that unseemly stuff from their “website.” And that is why the story of George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is interesting.

But George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina said horrible things in public on a public website. The fact that George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is now unhappy that the horrible things he said in public are now being talked about in public is really a case of tiny violins for him.

    Good stuff from TBogg’s comments:

    Commenter thedarkbackward saw the clear opportunity for a meme that would feature this gaping black hole where self-awareness might otherwise exist for George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina.

    It kinda works for GOP politics in general, but particularly for parochial ‘regionalists’ who tend to brag on southern hospitality. Bless their hearts.

    Note to George Tierney:
    You’re a golfer, so when you’ve hit a bad shot into a patch of thick, tall rough amid a tangled mess of briers, do you:
    a) prudently recognize that you’ve got an unplayable lie, take the penalty so you don’t make the situation worse with futile attempts to advance the ball; OR
    b) try to flail the ball out of trouble anyway, in a leap of hope against the weight of experience?;
    c) cheat and move the ball with your hand back out of the rough and play it as if you never hit it in there, and while you’re at it give yourself a good lie. HEY GEORGE: as a golfer, you know this only works when you’re only playing purely for fun with friends, and not if this is in any kind of broader competition. WHICH BTW IS WHAT POSTING ARGUMENTATIVE COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET IS ANALOGOUS TO, since it’s no longer purely bullshitting around with a few buds about the alleged sluttiness of certain women. Instead, it’s with the broader world which will hold you to account for what you say.
