Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

How stupid are these people?

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

So many bastards, so little time.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

When we show up, we win.

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

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

You Have to be Shitting Me

I just learned that the entire debate audience is made up of undecided voters. We’re basically now going to have to listen to 80 of the stupidest fucking people on the planet ask uninformed questions. It’ll be like being taught Physics by a random sample of spring breakers at Daytona Beach.

Just let the fucking Chinese take over already.

    Undecided my ass.

    During the VP debate, the CNN focus group, we were told, was made up of “undecided voters.” That CNN focus group was the only group to give Paul Ryan the “win” in the debate. We know damn well they were Republicans who claimed to be undecided.

    Like I said, undecided my ass.

    And Romney leads off with lying about his position on Pell grants. Just in case anyone thought his strategy in this debate was going to be any different.

    Well, there’s this bit of good news:

    In states that allow voters to cast ballots before election day, early voting and extended voting hours are thought to benefit Democratic candidates because lower-income people, who tend to vote for them, are more likely to work odd hours. According to a Reuters/Ipsos national survey, about 10 percent of likely voters have already cast ballots. And of those who have voted, Obama holds a sizable lead over Romney – 56 percent to 35 percent. The poll has a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of plus or minus about five percentage points. That contrasts with a much closer race according to polls of likely voters. There, the president holds just a slight edge of 46 percent to 43 percent in Tuesday’s Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll.
