Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

This really is a full service blog.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

    John, Obama has been president for going on five years. At what point does he become responsible for anything?

    Let me know.

    We’re stepping on the soccer thread to point that Hoft is still the DMOTI?

    I wonder how it feels knowing that everyone refers to you constantly as ‘The Dumbest Man On The Internet’, and that every time you hit ‘submit’ you’re going to give them all a reason to call you that again? For anyone that wasn’t the dumbest man on the internet it would be kind of draining.

    Off to a fresh Seig Heil Obama thread already of course.

    Cole keeping his Bot core commenters happy is, I suppose, necessary for page views, ad clicks, and the resultant grifting…

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist:

    BJ Bots are so very delicate and, well, just sort of tender in the makeup of their soft, crinkly, and tissue thin feelings.

    I suppose this is why Cole tosses out transparent Bot posts such as this one. To offer succor. To allow them to gently apply lotions and salves and ointments to their so very easily wounded membranes.

    still the dumbest man on the internet.

    That’s a bold statement; there are a lot of contenders for that title. And I don’t expect any of them to stand down any time soon.

    @Ted & Hellen:

    At what point does [Obama] become responsible for anything?

    When it is a program or policy that his administration initiated and that the congress enacted & funded.

    Compromises forced on the administration by Republicans don’t count. They own everything that they insist upon.

    @Ted & Hellen: Actually, You’re keeping the ‘Bots’ happy; You post, we point and laugh and laugh.

    In case you didn’t read the link, Hoft & company are whining about something that was created by an all-republican government before Obama became president. Why should this make ‘Bots’ happy, other than getting to point and laugh at Hoft’s knee-jerk reaction and your vociferous butthurt?

    @James E. Powell:

    When it is a program or policy that his administration initiated and that the congress enacted & funded.

    I would add the phrase “completely uncontroversial and obviously constitutional” to differentiate it from things like enhanced interrogation or electronic surveillance.

    For Ted & Hellen, I would also add that nobody was trying to absolve Obama of responsibility for this program since it is completely innocuous. Instead they were just trying to provide historical context to explain why Republican hyperventilating over this program was misplaced and laughable.

    @lamh36: That statement from Nadler’s spokesman doesn’t clear up much of anything

    James Owens, a spokesman for Nadler, provided a statement on Sunday morning, a day after this article was published, saying: “I am pleased that the administration has reiterated that, as I have always believed, the NSA cannot listen to the content of Americans’ phone calls without a specific warrant.” Owens said he couldn’t comment on what assurances from the Obama administration Nadler was referring to, and said Nadler was unavailable for an interview. (CNET had contacted Nadler for comment on Friday.)

    @Chris:
    Ficken Sie bitte sich if you siezen Ted & Hellen. Fickt bitte euch if you address’em as ihr, which is of course the plural of du.

  46. 46.

    Chris

    @Amir Khalid:

    Ahh, thank you for the correction.

    I get confused because in French, the formal way of addressing “you” is to call people by the plural form of “you,” whereas in German, they do it by calling saying “they.”

    @Ted & Hellen: How is this about Obama because of Obots? You brought him up. It’s like all you think about is Obama and how every thread is the life or death struggle of whether he’s good or evil. Jesus, talk about art or something. Be different for once.

  50. 50.

    Amir Khalid

    @Chris:
    Actually, this is not a difference; Sie, like vous, can be either singular or plural depending on the situation. German has this quirk of having three quite different pronouns — sie (she), sie (they), and Sie (you, formal, with initial cap) — that look alike.

    Randy P

    @Ted & Hellen: No matter how many years he is President, and even for the rest of eternity, 2006 will always be during the Bush years and not the Obama years.

    There will never be a point at which Obama is responsible for laws passed in 2006. K? Not even 2 million years from now.

    Bitte ein Bit. Saw this all over Berlin before I knew much German. I finally figured out this was an ad for Bitburger Pils.

    so I should not use the familiar case, or I should not use Arschloch.

    I think “Bitte Ficken Sie sich” is probably the best word order.

    @LAC: Yes. I’d much rather. Even if you don’t care for the artwork, sometimes the process is far more interesting than you’d think. The same old, same old is a bit sad, when artist’s mind needs to be innovative to keep creation from being stale. bqwhatvwer. It’s his life.

    Most of Hoft’s commenters are just as stupid and racist as Hoft, if not more. Read a comment section of his sometime. I did once, and clicked away shortly after somebody complained about “louder-than-normal-in-restaurants minorities” etc etc,

    @Ted & Hellen:

    Um, you DID read the link yes?

    I read the link. This is a law that was passed in 2006 when that other guy (what was his name again?) was still president. You do remember that there was a different guy who was president before Obama, right? Or has the ODS taken over your brain to the extent that you’re pissed off about Obama not paying sufficient attention to the “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US” memo in the summer of 2001?

    @steve:
    I scanned the comments on Hoft’s blog, and saw several of the “I just got off the phone with my cell carrier, and I told THEM, I said…”

    Suddenly I felt a rush of pity for the unforrtunate Indian call center operators, suddenly and inexplicably on the receiving end of the Cheetos-fueled wrath of Hoft’s commentariat about the dictator Obama and his daily messages.

    @KmCO:

    That poor Obama, always the victim of using and enforcing laws and procedures forced, forced I tell you!, on him by evil republicans.

    Because presidents never simply ignore or refuse to use laws and procedures they don’t favor. No, that never, ever happens.

    Not ever at all.
