Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Let there be snark.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Come on, man.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

    So what? Charlie Crist has a beard. So does Marcus Bachmann. So does Mitch McConnell.

    Oh, that is funny! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!

    My good angel wants to defend poor Mr. Norquist because the accusation is illogical but my bad angel wants to sit in the corner and giggle.

    Guess which angel will win?

    I thought he was a non-secret Muslim because his wife is Muslim. Can’t believe the pass the wingnuts have given him on this for the last decade. I figured he’d be an early casualty of the anti-Muslim teabaggeriness.

    I love the little “oh!” from someone in the audience because he’s married to a muslim woman. These people really need to get out more.

    Who would have guessed that converting the U.S. to Islam could be as easy as taking over the razor blade and shaver industry?

    Hmmmm….so can women every be true Muslims…as they will rarely be able to grow beards?

    Also, too as every man knows having a beard is a permanent state that can never be reversed by scissors, a razor blade and shaving cream.

    “Grover Norquist is Trouble, with a capital ‘T'”. I half expected the music to come up and for her to go off on a diatribe against pool. In any event, I got the same vibe as Henry Hill put out.

    Everyone knows secret Muslims don’t have their faces but do shave their pubes. So Norquist is halfway to passing the secret Muslim test.

    Shaving the pubes.

    I didn’t know that.

    Does that mean that old humans, as they lose hair in all kinds of places, morph into Muslims? What if they were atheist when they were more hirsute?

    Grover Norquist is a secret Muslim because he has a beard.

    Of course he is. So was that secret liberal Abraham Lincoln, not to mention U.S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.

    And so does Lindsey Graham, aka Huckleberry Closetcase.

    From what I remember watching Batman on TV as a child, you can do the King Tut thing of a prosthetic paste-on beard.

    Or even the reverse, like Cesar Romero, with white make-up slathered on top of a mustache.

    Married to a Muslim; sporting a beard, and trying to derail our government by starving and obstructing to the point where the US government is just large enough to strangle in a bathtub.. Imagine the scrutiny if he were a Dem….

    The lack of male facial hair means you are a beard Muslim. At least a decade back the word ‘Moslem’ was used a lot. What happened? Is it now considered a poor transliteration? Or an insulting usage?

    @p.a.:

    Archaeic transliteration from an uncommon regional dialect, the same sort of thing that gave us “Peking” instead of “Beijing”.

    The Other Chuck

    @p.a.: FWYP wouldn’t take my edit: the Arabic pronunciation pronounces it “Moose-lim”, others make it a short U. They’re both correct seeing as how the proper spelling is in Arabic, but it’s just one of those things where different transliteration standards become dominant.

    At least we don’t have to deal with the dozen or so romanizations of Qadaffi anymore.

    They dislike Rove because he’s a loser who called it wrong and they see that as costing them power. Power is all they respect.

    Everyone in America from 1820-1888 was a Muslim. So many beards.

    Where do mutton chops fit on the theology scale? Too Amish?
