Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

We still have time to mess this up!

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Everybody saw this coming.

No one could have predicted…

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

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

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

    Oh, looks like Murdoch’s been forced by his shareholders to split up News Corp. How’re you?

    @Baud: Wow. That’s a bummer. Funny lady.

    Drinks with friends from Denver at a Venetian tapas place (cicchetti in Italian), then Chicago style thuggery deep-dish pizza down the street. I think they got the picture.

    Sorry… SF Giants.

    I’m an A’s fan.. and I won’t lower the standards of commenting on this blog by saying what the Giants made my A’s over the weekend.

    Oh and I hate the SCOTUS too! Well I really dislike 5 of the current justices.

    Almost forgot. EPA’s greenhouse gas rules were completely upheld today by the D.C. Circuit. The industry and wingnut states will probably take it to the Supremes, and then who knows? But that won’t be until after the election.

    Read this article from Politico. “’Many have been struck by the chilling parallels between the novel and the current state of the world, and of America in particular,’ states an email to journalists from The Atlas Summit organizers.” Somebody tell me how this rhetoric differs from that in the Biblical Prophecy/End Times movement.
