Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

In my day, never was longer.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

When we show up, we win.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

    I won’t donate to Obama.

    I want Romney to be able to appoint the next 4 justices so we can get more Citizen United decisions.

    I won’t apologize for putting the net worth of my multinational portfolio ahead your puny rights.

    OK, needs (a LOT of) work; I’m still fleshing (flushing?) out the “least interested man in the world” parody.

    @khead:
    I despise Glenn Greenwald. And I generally like Loomis a lot. But the whole thing was a dumb idea (“let’s take on a famously unhinged pedantic lawyer with lots of even more unhinged fanboys using unprovable allegations about his unexpressed opinions!”). Greenwald is Firebagger scum – indeed, is part of the original Firebagger idea. And Greenwald lies down with dogs not because he thinks he’s immune to getting up with fleas but because on the whole he agrees with those dogs. But Loomis’s chosen approach was completely misguided and 300+ comments of meaningless vituperation and circuitousness were the inevitable result.

    TPM via Bowser’s Clown Copter:

    Three of the biggest names in West Virginia Democratic politics in West Virginia will skip the Democratic National Convention this summer, once again highlighting President Obama’s rocky relationship with the state’s electorate.
    __
    But if Sen. Joe Manchin, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Rep. Nick Rahall — all Democrats — thought pulling out of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte this September would earn them the respect of Republicans, they’re wrong. …
    __
    A virtually unknown federal inmate earned more than 40 percent of the vote in the recent Democratic West Virginia primary …

    I think our history books are wrong. They all say West Virginia fought on the side of the Union, but, looking at the way their politicians act, that can’t be right. They must have been a Confederate state, right?

    I think ActBlue stole the idea from WaWa.

    Does WaWa sign you up for a SHIT TON OF SPAM every time you buy a sandwich?

    Pretty ironic that “WAH WAH” was the first song played at George Harrison’s (and friends) “Concert for Bangaladesh” in MSG on 8/1/71.

    Mittens would rather starve people. George was trying to save and feed people.

    Neither attribution nor direct quoting required (or advised!). I see you’ve been RT’d at least once so far :)

    I saw the new (to me, at least) Dos Equis commercial this afternoon where one of the lines was “Sasquatch took a photo of him”. Cracked me up; sadly, my writing skills lacks ability to make someone truly “uninterested” with the same pattern of writing as the DE commercials, so, please, run with it and improve it.

    My donations this month are tapped out – gave a fair amount to Tom Barrett – but I’m sure I’ll have a few spare bucks to give later this summer.

    JGabriel@JGabriel: I saw that too. Can’t wait till Cole gets on it.

    I was at the WV Dem Convention a couple of weeks ago. Manchin was there, gave a speech that didn’t mention Obama, and the Dem crowd was not pleased. But Manchin and Tomblin are playing to the lowest common denominator in the state and “putting the n…er in his place” will probably help them.

    Cold rage.

    and the Dem crowd was not pleased.

    I’m actually pleasantly surprised to hear this. I thought Manchin reflected the attitude of most West Virginia Democrats.

    Alright, had a great time in NOLA with the fam. Glad to be back home though. Missed the majority of the poltical news, but I’m glad. I feel a little more rejuvenated.

    Anyway, fudge Ann Romeny, FLOTUS is the best


    FLOTUS jumping double dutch

    Mrs. Obama also joined the Cary Family YMCA SuperSkippers of North Carolina for a round of Double-Dutch jump roping, and surprised the kids–boys and girls–with her prowess.

    @lamh35: No way does a girl from inner city Chicago not know how to double-dutch. No one should have been too surprised at this.

    (This post sounds more dog-whistly than I intend. But I can’t really think of a way to fix it.)

    Well, it may sound dog-whistly, but you’re absolutely correct.

    Mind you, she’s 38 and has two daughters. That’s an impressive display.

    Holy cow, that should be great. Those two battling wits might break my teevee. Also, too, I hope folks caught Colbert’s extended rip on Frau Willard’s Olympics(tm) horsie thing, last week. He was in fine form, even for him.

    I took Uncle Joe’s advice and set up a grassroots fundraising page, inviting only Known Liberals, of which I am friends/acquaintances with bazillions, to donate to Obama. I was just working myself into high dudgeon at my circle’s cheapassity when I discovered that many who are already on the OFA mailing list were automatically weeded out. Others kindly emailed to tell me they’d already given till it hurt. Hope so.

    @amk: Except for Hillary and Rosalynn, you mean? Bess Truman was quite independent, too, though she flew under the radar. Even Jackie, who presented a traditional face, did what she wanted as first lady and pretty much nothing she didn’t want to do.

    One day, you people will be ashamed about your weird obsession with Greenwald

    How many divisions does Greenwald have?

    GG’s actual influence on electoral outcomes = 0

    When Greenwald begins to offer and discuss policy solutions, maybe I’ll pay attention. Until then, whatever.
