Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Second rate reporter says what?

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Everybody saw this coming.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

We will not go back.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

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

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

I blame Sullivan.

Here is another open thread.

ETA: You should all be here at Cole’s house. It’s going off. Fortunately, I was in the kitchen getting a beer and a cheeky line with Cole’s mom when the photo was taken, so my anonymity remains in place.

It’s probably time to admit that this is what we front pagers do every Friday night – hit Cole’s place, get tanked and work out ways to troll you lot. All of the people in the photo are actors we paid for out of the “send Cole to the DNC” fund, to cover up for the fact that Levenson’s out in the back yard getting stoned with Kay and Sooner, DougJ is doing his Brooks impression for Lily’s amusement in the living room and Cole hasn’t been seen for about an hour since he got hepped up on cough syrup and ran around the entire town wearing only his jocks and a Peruvian belt.

EATA: Blame Comrade Mary for this one. I also forgot who pointed me to the top video. Belated thanks to wag.

    But if Cole’s not wearing a cute bunny hat with his jocks and the Peruvian belt and screaming, “You can’t catch me fat man!” then there still room for improvement. Somebody hide the mops and has anyone seen Yutsano’s fez? I want to borrow it.

    the disappearance of true, weird and eclectic top 40 radio.

    I don’t know what era you’re from, but in my era – back in the 70s and 80s, when I listened to radio sometimes, the words “true, weird and eclectic” would have been nowhere near a sentence including “top 40 radio.” Granted, that was out in flyover country and not a big city. ymmv.
