Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

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

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

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

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

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Come on, man.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The willow is too close to the house.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

You are here: Home / Politics / Republican Stupidity / Reagan died for somebody’s sins but not mine

    I have nothing to say but Green Balloons. My favorite category (or is that a tag?) ever, so glad to see it used. :)

    @lamh35: ha ha ha. Gotta love that. I actually think this means it will be a squeaker per the last PPP poll. Maybe even a Barret win?

    PPP: Black Metrosexual Hitler beating Magic Underwear Anchor Baby 50-46 in florida.

    Poll was taken after the jobs reports. so there. Florida economy has a significant focus on tourism, so their unemployment rate is higher than average, and yet, Mitty’s approval rating is still 14 pts underwater (39-43).

    There are 11 swing states (from east to west): New Hamsphire, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada.

    Obama leads in all 11 states. He leads 8 of those states by at least 7 pts. He leads Florida and NC by 4 pts and Mizzou by 1.

    Panic!

    Happy Cinco Goodbye-O!

    Turnout’s been extremely high in Madison and much of Milwaukee — beyond ’08 presidential records in some places. There have been so many new registrations that the Madison county clerk is predicting turnout beyond 100% (I guess turnout is measured according to numbers of registered voters at the beginning of the day, so new registrants can send the turnout over 100%). I’m sure the turnout is high in Waukesha and other red areas, too, but high turnout in Madison and Milwaukee is a really, really good sign.

    Punchy

    Walker faces a crushing defeat tonite until they “discover” 4 million uncounted votes in Waukesha County, 3.9 million of them for David Koch. Wisky Supreme Court, by a party line vote, rules that “David Koch” ballots can count for Walker. Walker wins by 7 votes. Recounts declared unconstitutional by Wisky SSC.

    If you ever get married I will send (or bring you, if you invite me) a case of the yummiest Prosseco ever. :)

    I know Campari is an acquired taste. I have always loved it but I went to the really old school orgincal Campari Bar off the Duomo in Milan. It really is a must, they sell a whole lot of other Amaros (bitter liquers, like Cynar which I also love, I won’t tell you what it is made of) and it’s like stepping into a chic but dated club from the 50s or 60s. So cool. /see I am still pining for my italy trip

    I remember the day Reagan died. We were sitting in my living room watching the undercard for the Belmont, and bitching that if Smarty Jones won the Triple Crown that day, it would get lost in all the media coverage of Reagan.

    I’m not exactly proud of that, but, well.

    So is Greyhound Bus now on the Right’s enemies list?

    @Enhanced Voting Techniques: Public transportation has been for decades. It lowers property values by allowing Negroes to come into decent neighborhoods and buy iced tea and Skittles, apparently.

    @redshirt:

    I think I was fair. Here’s a line from it:

    A vote to keep Walker won’t be an antiunion vote. It will be a vote against any special interest that seeks to preserve exorbitant middle-class benefits at the expense of the public good.

    @TooManyJens: Apart from his belief that pop + Jolly Ranchers + cough syrup is EXACTLY LIKE iced tea + Skittles + no cough syrup in its strong suggestion of drug use, my favorite part is where he urges everyone to “invest a couple of hours” in reading the freaky comments to the linked post.

    Actually, the few comments I skimmed are remarkably sad. All those people referring to this dead kid as “St. Skittles.” These are damaged, damaged humans.

    Yes, I see conspiracies everywhere but I think the PIC (people in charge) pulled the plug on St. Ronnie or put a pillow over his face so that his death could be remembered in the same time frame as D-Day. I remember Bush the lesser ads with no sound showing D-Day, heroic warriors, flags, Reagan,victory over Soviet union,, more flags, more warriors, then Shrubya to establish that he was Reich Wing warrior worthy of the Reagan mantle himself.

    @Anoniminous:

    I’m guessing the conspiracy theorists can’t find Detroit on a map if they think that claim makes a lick of sense.

    That’s like claiming hippies are trying to throw an election in Orange County by bussing people in from San Francisco.

    ETA: Or maybe they’re half-remembering a crappy Mel Gibson movie called “Bird on a Wire” where they somehow manage to take a ferry from Detroit to Chicago despite, you know, the land mass between the two cities.
