Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Everybody saw this coming.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

We still have time to mess this up!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The willow is too close to the house.

Republicans in disarray!

This blog will pay for itself.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

No one could have predicted…

    Old animosities thrive in post-Kadafi Libya

    A Human Rights Watch report released in February said that “several thousand” detainees were being held illegally by private militias. Those armed groups include Ansar al Sharia, blamed for the attack in September that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans but now policing the city where he died, Benghazi.

    The government is paying millions of dollars a month to militias in attempts to appease them. A deadly battle between militias from Zintan and Zuwara last month at an energy complex temporarily suspended oil production and natural gas exports to Italy. The fight was predictable in its irony: It erupted when Zuwara tribesmen challenged Zintan fighters for the contract to protect the plant.

    Faced with rogue militias unwilling to lay down their weapons, is Libya on the verge of collapse?

    Post-Gaddafi Libya has been plagued by tribal fragmentation, attacks on government authorities, and ongoing human rights violations. The militias have targeted Christians, women, and former Gaddafi sympathizers. . .

    Militias in post-Qaddafi Libya have been operating freely in many cities and have been prone to vigilantism. This video depicts a man receiving a public lashing in the town of Sirte at the hands of militia members. . .

    There have been 70 attacks on sites belonging to Libya’s Sufi minority since the overthrow of Qaddafi. . . .

    Detained Journalist’s Wife Asks Why Publishing Articles Has ‘Become So Dangerous in Libya’

    The wife of a hunger-striking Libyan journalist has told Amnesty International of her disbelief that her husband has been imprisoned and denied bail for ‘offending’ the judiciary under an al-Gaddafi-era law.

    Amara al-Khattabi, the editor-in-chief of al-Umma newspaper, was arrested last December and has been on hunger strike since 28 February in protest at his detention. He was arrested a month after his newspaper published a list of 84 judges allegedly involved in corruption.

    @Amir Khalid: I’m not sure why that amuses me, but it does. Of course Finland kicked Russia’s ass before, so it’s not like Putin would do something stupid here.
