Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

We still have time to mess this up!

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Bark louder, little dog.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

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

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

    We’re not up for “some pet pictures”. We’re up for some Tunch, Lily, and Rosie pictures. Max wouldn’t hurt, either. We demand that every front pager with pets produce pictures, now!

    Had a German Shepherd years ago. Got her as a puppy and she needed a bed. Neighbor gave us a cast off soft-sided suitcase. Cut out the side, put an old blanket in it — instant dog bed. As a fully grown, 90+ pound adult she still slept in that suitcase. Half of her hanging out, but she would not sleep anywhere else.

    NateDogg is cool.

    Oh and Orange Julius names a woman to be the head of the House “cleaning up and taking out the trash committee”, brilliant move Julius. Have you any fucking idea how the optics look on that one? You give the only woman a house chair position that is basically the “housekeeping” spot. Brilliant move. Don’t forget to put “having dinner on the table and my slippers and a cocktail ready” in the list of her responsibilities. What an asshole.

    That’s okay, Nate-Dogg, we know how exhausting it must be hunting down your own noms. You take that well deserved snooze. Then tomorrow you can look for your breakfast in bed without that awful commute to the doggy bowl. #smartNateDogg

    It’s an open thread, so I’ll ask: is Freddie deBoer still posting here? I know he got knocked around a few weeks ago, and I haven’t seen anything from him since.

    Oh, and cute dog!

    Charlotte is the most short-haired of our cats, so this is the time of year when she starts to demand that I put a throw over the couch to create a little tent for her to nap in. Or, if I’m sitting on the couch or the easy chair with a throw over my lap, she will crawl under the edge and hang out by my feet where it’s nice and warm.

    What would you think if the Dems proposed a “war repayment tax”?

    While the details of the tax would be open for debate, it would be a surtax that ends once enough revenue is collected to pay the Afghan and Iraq wars.

    There sits the Lord Mayor,
    There sit his men.
    There sits the cockle-do,
    There sits the hen.
    There sit the chickies,
    And there they run in –
    Chin chopper, chin chopper, chin chopper, chin!

    I love his beard! I have had 2 dogs with white under their chinchopper, and they were the deep thinkers.

    I am still a little worried about Cole’s chili dogs, however.

    Also, too, I’m going to Disneyland tomorrow with my best friend’s family. It’s supposed to rain (it’s already been raining all day today) but fortunately they’re a “neither ice nor snow nor bitter cold will prevent us from having fun” group, so I think we’ll have a good time anyway. The last time I went with this group, one of the kids had a really nasty cold that turned out to be walking pneumonia (!) but claimed all day to feel much better than he actually did because he really loves Disneyland.

    Cute doggie! :)

    I have to say that I haz a sad with Erick, Son of Erick, announcing today at Redstate that he will not be challenging Saxby Chambliss for his Georgia seat in the Senate. The reason? Erick sez:

    Were I to run for the Senate, it would be a terribly nasty campaign. It’d actually be really awesome, but it’d be really nasty.

    I think he meant awesome for us spectators on the left and not himself. ;)

    Erick finishes the statement quoted above with:

    I have a seven year old, a soon to be four year old, and a wife who does not like being anywhere near a stage. I’m not putting my family through that when the best outcome would mean a sizable pay cut and being away from my kids and wife all the time huddled in a pit of vipers often surrounded by too many who viewed me as a useful instrument to their own advancement.

    Erick thinks others would view him as a useful tool for themselves? I have always thought that consensus on Erick was that he is a useless tool. I had to lol at his stating that one of the reasons for his not running is that if he ran and won the Senate seat then he would be taking, at best, a “sizable pay cut”.

    Spoken like the true Conservative of today; My bank account is more important than honorable service to the people of my state and country.

    Now if there was more money to be made… the answer would still be no. Erick knows that he would get his ass stomped into the ground. He is the problem with the Republican party and the “establishment Republicans” would do everything they could to bury him in the primary.

    Erick is right about one thing though… it would be awesome to watch!

    Awww…look at Nate Dogg and that bow! He looks a little embarrassed by it. “Mom! Don’t take my picture. I hate this stupid sweater dress shirt tie bow you’re making me wear.”

    @MikeJ:

    Bush the younger decided that cutting taxes while two wars were going on was a good idea, he turned a surplus into a deficit while putting the wars onto the invisible credit card (ie off the books), he managed to convince the American people that there was a surplus in the budget while in fact there were huge deficits thanks to the wars. It was quite a PR stunt when you think about it.

    @efgoldman: I understand Republicans suck with women. The English translation would have been: “John Boehner named Candice Miller chair of the House Administration Committee.”

    A rant on how this is an unimportant committee and how this is a token appointment could have nicely followed. “Arglebargle lucifer sezs make me a sammich!” doesn’t really get any of that across. I like to know what I’m supposed to be outraged about.

    @Yutsano:
    I generally go to sleep at 10pm, the puppy wakes me at 2am, (to take her out to potty) the husband then wakes me at 4am (when his alarm goes off) so I get a very fragmented sleep during the night. I just want 8 hours, without interruption, please.

    @CA Doc:

    Pfft — we ARE locals. It’s sounding more like it’s going to be locals-only, actually — at least a couple of my coworkers are going as well to avoid blackout dates on their passes.
