Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

I was promised a recession.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Bark louder, little dog.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

This fight is for everything.

Second rate reporter says what?

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Video Parody: ‘Dannon Yogurt With Birth Control on the Bottom’

Check out this video parody from Yahoo Sketchy starring Retta (and some other people who don’t warrant as much mention as RETTA), which mocks television ads geared towards ladies, to hilarious effect:

(I don’t know how to turn off auto-play, so a “more tag” will have to suffice)

It could only be better if they also discussed tampons while twirling in a meadow wearing white pants.

    Uh oh. An autoplay video when I’m at work. I guess I’ll have to return tomorrow.

    tampons while twirling in a meadow wearing white pants.

    I think tampons goes with rollerblading in the park with your poodle. Twirling in a meadow is douche ads, and white pants are for maxipad ads.

    Ok, this is awesome:

    The state Senate is split 20-20 between Republicans and Democrats. On Monday, while state Sen. Henry Marsh (D) — a 79-year-old civil rights veteran — was reportedly in Washington to attend President Obama’s second inaugural, GOP senators forced through a mid-term redistricting plan that Democrats say will make it easier for Republicans to gain a majority.

    Just when you thought the GOP couldn’t go any lower, they find a way. Celebrating civil rights and the the inauguration of the president by fucking over the voters! Dying in a fire is too good for these bastards.

    I’m going away now and I will never reload this page again. Frikkin’ autoplay.

    i have a solution to autoplay and walmart ads at work: no sound. I mute the sound at home too, who knows when one of those porn sites might pop up something embarrassing

    @Eric U.:

    who knows when one of those porn sites might pop up something embarrassing

    Isn’t the whole point of porn sites to pop up something embarrassing?

    @Napoleon: I posted this vid on FB with the intro, “Welcome to Obama’s America, already in progress.”

    Bam!–instant relevance.

    I’m also, too, all about keeping the sound off at work. One never knows what some Flash or pop-up ad is going to start screaming about when taking a surfing break.

    I like this commercial. It’s post-everything. Everything, do you hear me? Kind of how I feel. I don’t even know what autoplay is, BTW.

    This seems like something a right wing site would post to mock those silly, politically correct females with their silly female concerns.

    Why is it posted here?

    It’s not women being mocked, it’s modern marketing/advertising that’s the target.

    Also, too, having to explain the joke to someone who’s handle appears to be a nod to one of the 20th century’s great purveyors of irreverent wit is a tad – – odd.

    It would have been moderately funny if it had been 30-60 seconds long, I suppose. Did anyone actually watch and enjoy the whole 3 minutes of it? In that amount of time, my namesake would have gone through 2 skits and a couple dozen ad libs.

    And, mocking companies for their appealing to liberal women by making those liberal women seem like upper-class twits seems a tad counter-productive.

    I don’t know. Just seems weird to me.

    A bit long, I agree, brevity being the soul of wit, as some guy said. ;o )

    To me the tell is one of the actresses saying something fluffy about the group and appending it with, “according to TV.”

    What I like about our side is we can generally laugh at a few send-ups if any happen by (“Maude” is one of my fave ’70s telly series).

    I don’t want to make more of my objection than it is. I’ve seen plenty of jokes on or about liberals that I enjoy. But, mocking women’s desire for easy access to birth control just seems off-putting.

    Studly is right, it’s not mocking the women at all. It’s hanging a lampshade on a marketing ploy by advertisers that transparently try to be hip and relevant by carefully casting their commercials with women of each race who proceed to have inane conversations about yoghurt and birth control. It’s not particularly subtle or its humor (the opposite really), but it mocks something that is moderately mockable… so hey.
