Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

No one could have predicted…

Everybody saw this coming.

    Part of me wishes I could listen in real time, but I’m not giving up TWiB on ride in to work, and staying a day behind is the only way I can do that.
