Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The revolution will be supervised.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Mitt Romney, the Blunt Amendment, and Your Employer’s Tiny Mental Jesus

by Imani Gandy (ABL)|  October 11, 201212:28 pm| 10 Comments

This post is in: Republican Venality, Vote Like Your Country Depends On It, World's Best Healthcare (If You Can Afford It), Romney of the Uncanny Valley

Last year, Roy Blunt introduced an amendment to the Affordable Care Act which would allow employers to deny any preventive health services under the guise of religious freedom.

Mitt Romney unequivocally supports the Blunt Amendment.

Now, hold on to your hats, ladies and germs, and click through to read the ridiculously long list of all the healthcare services that Roy Blunt (and Mitt Romney) would allow your employer to deny you just because their tiny mental Jesus tells them to.

    One thing I do like about this election season; they are just coming right out and saying what they want to do.

    It’s so refreshing.

    Well – I don’t care if it rains or freezes
    Long as I got my mental Jeezuz
    Ridin’ on the dashboard of my car

    So I can slip and I can slide
    Logic escapes my useless hide
    With my mental Jeezuz I’ll go far…

    Some of those health procedures impact men. Interesting, since I thought the Blunt Amendment was strictly anti-women.

    Blood pressure screening? The thing they do every single time I go to the doctor regardless of what I’m there for? What the fuck does that have to do with Jesus?

    @Patricia Kayden: This isn’t so much anti-women as it is insisting that we continue the idiocy of an employer-provided insurance system while allowing the greedy fucks to not actually cover anything. It’s about the bottom-line, not the ladies. Fucking them over is just a bonus for the fundies.

    Kay posted this list months ago. It’s shocking.

    Of course if employees use their own wages to pay for the exact same things, that’s no problem at all for some reason.

    Hey, if a few men have to suffer so women can be punished for having ladyparts, that’s just how the world works.

    How long before some employer starts claiming that they shouldn’t have to pay for vaccinations?
