Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

No one could have predicted…

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

People are complicated. Love is not.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Please don’t feed the bears.

The problem people have with Biden’s age is the color of the VPs skin.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

The “How To” Guide to Getting Ripped A New One All Day

This post is in: 

When we debuted our “Asshole of the Day” segment on TWiB Radio I didn’ think I’d end up using it so often.  In 7 days we’ve already had to crown 3 assholes–1 of which got double crowned. But the latest guy we gave the title to not only owns his title but it seems like he’s trying to get upgraded to asshole of the month. Perhaps the YEAR. Don’t believe me? This is the tweet that got him to his lofty position…

Yeah.

On Today’s TWiB Radio, before we had to deal with Kincannon,  everybody’s favorite Angry Black Lady™ Imani Gandy swings by for her weekly segment “All Up In Your Uterus w/ Imani Gandy” to talk about the uproar over the Obama administrations actions with dealing with birth control and the hissy fit some folks are having about women possibly having access to birth control through work-supplied insurance.

And on TWiB in the Morning  you get to hear when Kincannon first gets crowned, the leaked Obama White Papers, and a conversation with Feminista Jones, founder of #SexyShred about becoming healthier, using social media to move a cause and more.

As per usual we will be all up in the comments.  And thanks so much for the support folks. If you’ve been enjoying the shows I’ve been posting It’d be amazing if you’d consider taking 30 seconds (each) to fill out an audience survey on the shows we’ve been posting here. That’s TWiB Radio, TWiB in the Morning and On Blackness. It’s really super quick–like SUPER quick– and it’ll help us keep doing what we do.

    I saw this Monday & recognize the guy as a local Republican Big Wig. I assume he was doing minority outreach.

    I think asshole of the century could be his if he applied for it.
    He’s probably asshole enough to do so—thinks his remark was cute, I’m sure.
    a deeply sick dude.

    I doubt it. Look at the top candidates for asshole of last century and think about how hard it would be to break into that group.

    This guy is trash. Glad he’s showing everyone exactly who he is and what kinds of people represent the Republican party. Did he take down the tweet after pressure or is it still there?

    one more Republican victim of Barack Obama’s refusal to invite Republicans over for skittles and beer.

    I googled this asshole’s name to see if there was any more direct connection to Graham, Demint, Haley or other South Carolina stalwarts. Nothing jumped out, but I did come across this rather confusing response from Alexandra Petri, a WaPo writer who, as near as I can tell, is Dana Milbank’s sidekick and fancies herself a humorist, though she’s all sober-sided, let-us-rise-above-and-ignore-the-brute Broderism on this. This is from the Petri column

    But if you read Kincannon’s feed, it is clear that he wants to be the Daily Show. “Yep. I ain’t dumb. RT @ JimmyPrinceton @ ToddKincannon Jon Stewart is more effective than CNN or MSNBC,” he notes. […]
    “.@ dkirkland I’m not stupid,” he tweets. “I see where this is going. “‘Politainment’ is the way of the future. And the Right better understand that [excrement].”

    So… apparently jackass wants Jon Stewart to pick on him so huddled hood-wearing masses can rally ’round?

    Not good enough. I say strip him naked, stake him in the middle of the street in that famous underpass in Austin, and cover him with some sort of food substance that bats find irresistible. The fear of being bitten by a rabid bat should fuck him up good and proper.

    I will say this again.

    Large numbers of conservative Republican men think about and talk about and fantasize about gay sex more than most gay men I know.

    Speaking of assholes, Fox has dropped Dick Morris. I’m sure he’ll get picked up by The Daily Caller.

    Really? What was the rush? It only took over two years of him being dead wrong on everything.

    Well, you gotta feel for the guy a little bit. After all, Todd dreams of getting assfucked by a KKK member every night but if he wants to whack off to it he’s gotta get out the tweezers, so he can get that little rigatoni noodle of his out far enough that he doesn’t jizz over his own taint. Then he calls his dad and asks him if he’s doing it right, because, you know, guys like Todd whose first sexual experience was getting plowed in 6th grade by a pedophile custodian might be a little lacking on details. Anyway, Dad says you gotta taste it to know if you’re doing it right, so Todd gets out the old shot glass and aims painstakingly until there’s enough to swallow. Time-consuming, to be sure, but it does pleasure him in a way that he hasn’t felt since he gave cunnilingus to a pig at his uncle’s farm. An in attempt to recapture that magical feeling he attends furry conventions wearing an assless pig suit and dry humps every teenager he sees, but no matter how often he tries his nights always seem to end him crying into the piss-soaked pig suit in a bathroom stall with a bottle of the cheapest high-proof whiskey he can buy. Poor guy.

    I think that’s a generalization of people fantasizing more about sex when they aren’t getting it. These guys are so repressed they wind up fantasizing about gay sex all the damn time.

    OT – on an amusing note, it appears that the FBI used an evil drone in saving the kid in Alabama.

    @Omnes Omnibus: They certainly talk about it more than all the gay men I know do. It’s as if the GOP is the party of self hating gay men. Who want to scold everyone, straight or gay, about having too much fun because think of the CHILDREN.

    @SatanicPanic:

    That’s fine. I care about them, but not in a emo fashion. I don’t think a US President will ever be using drones to bomb citizens in the US, that’s a ridiculous slippery slope that a Greenwald or Sullivan will allude to but never actually articulate.

    I put the drone issue under the subhead of Congress’ long, slow abdication of war-making powers to the Executive. Al Qaeda needs to be fought, even when US citizens are part of Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda choose asymmetrical warfare fought across national boundaries and in many weak states. What is the US to do about it? Drones might be legitimate answer, but for the most part I don’t think that answer has been given a Constitutional vetting or proper oversight.

    I think it’s pretty obvious he’s trolling. I’m not sure why you would troll Twitter, I’m not plugged into the Twitter machine and I don’t know how things work there. But I’m sure he’s getting lots of street cred with the wingnuts for how mad he’s making the liberals. So OF COURSE he’s going to double down.

    since mocking dead children is his thing, who’s next?

    the kindergartener’s murdered at sandy hook?

    But not asshole of the century candidate. He’s not going to beat the people I won’t name.
    bad as his words are, the guy who shot young Mr. Martin is worse, and likewise for the events in Colorado, sandy hook, and the bunker-loving gun nut in Alabama who thought kidnapping a child was good idea, and it was better to pick a fight with the FBI hostage rescue team after murdering the guy who gave him chicken eggs and other stuff not a week before.

    I’ll go with and old Churchill quote “jaw jaw jaw is better than war war war” and this asshole is just jawing.

    that said, to steal a line from warrior soul, I do wish he’d “put his monry where his mouth is so I could shove it down his throt”

    Another demographic trend working against the Confederapublicans — increasing public acceptance of homosexuality means fewer self-hating closet cases compensating by becoming right-wing assholes.

    Why is this supposed to be so appalling?

    ABL writes shit like this about her enemies all the time and you Bots eat it up.

    Can’t take it, don’t dish it.

    ruemara

    @Ted & Hellen: Let me see if I get this right. Comment by a RW media wannabe about a dead teen, gunned down for being black in public, probably being a trick turning drug addict is synonymous with something moderately successful blogger has said about her personal enemies, ergo it’s no big deal.

    Sidestepping the obvious-as in, where have you ever heard ABL say anything about her “enemies” being cockgobbling addicts-you really don’t think there’s a bit of difference between smearing the dead, especially the dead under such tragic circumstances, and the usual internet flaming? Truly?

  105. 105.

    Patricia Kayden

    @Ted & Hellen: Provide a link to when ABL has made a comment anywhere as appalling as this RW troll. Just one.

    You’re a nasty person. Too bad BJ doesn’t mallet people.

    God, how I long for cosmic repercussions for people such as Kincannon. Instead, he’ll play the victim card and someone, somewhere will reward him with a column. I ventured onto AM radio for a couple minutes this morning and heard some wingnut joke about our “Muslim president from Kenya”. His sidekicks all chortled with glee, thinking they’d just said something terribly clever. No repercussions. The guy’s wife will kiss him hello when he returns home with a fat, undeserved paycheck. His kids will look up at him with respect. His church-going buddies will slap him on the back and wink with appreciation. And he’ll go on about how his rights are being threatened.

    Just goddamnit.
