Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

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

This really is a full service blog.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Not all heroes wear capes.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Cancel the cowardly WaPo and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Elections aren’t won by handwringing, cowering, and/or bashing your own candidates.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The words do not have to be perfect.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

    On their other Hottest Conservatives lists: Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, Tucker Carlson and Louie GOHMERT !

    I just threw up in my mouth a little.

    Sad to say, that’s probably an accurate statement. I mean, what are the alternatives? Rush Limbaugh and Mitch McConnell?

    Tucker Carlson is on the list? Women think he’s “Hawt?” That should be solid proof that there is no God.

    Wonkette did a nice piece on that one. I was wondering what was wrong with the ladies who wrote the original article the entire time. And a little worried for Wonkette that she would contemplate sleeping with some of the folks on the list…

    We’ve got George Clooney, they’ve got Jonah Goldberg. I’ll stick with our team.

    Oh yeah. I can already hear all the ladies getting wound up to the thoughts of Louie and Jonah wearing the banana hammock and gyrating for all you womenfolk. Glenn walks around offerring lapdances with that twinkle that says “Let’s go to the VIP lounge and talk about specials, wink, wink.” Make sure to throw them a couple dollars. MAKE IT RAIN!

    I wonder where Romney is on the list, and how his two failings 1) not conservative enough and 2) looooser, kill his ratings. Otherwise, isn’t Jon Thune versus Whitehouse about a tie.

    I’m a straight guy, so maybe I’m not the one to judge, but I’d say the Mittster is a pretty good looking dude. Won’t give him any points on anything else, but I’ll give him that.

    Well, if it’s true to Conservative form, the “ladies” will turn out to be middle-aged conservative guys.

    So Tucker Carlson ranks high on the list of … uh … “sexy” conservatives on teevee.

    Nuff said.

    Under the top 15 overall list:

    Lt. Col. West has been fighting for America most of his life. Even before he became a Congressman in Florida, he was working hard to enlighten people about the evils of Islam. These days, Lt. Col. West has a show on PJTV called “Next Generation: Standing Up for America”. Of course, we’re all hoping he’ll get back into politics around, say, 2016…Stay tuned.

    Seriously, how can you be so delusional? Allen West was rejected by Florida voters after all of two years in the house but the man is going to be President? Plus, I love that the top two dudes on the top 15 are black. See? The Right Wing is soooo diverse.

    I also liked the poster who inquired as to why the rotting corpse of Breitbart wasn’t on the list.

    A couple of the lesser-knows looked okay in their pictures, which seemed to be the criteria. A one-nighter might work as long as they keep their mouths shut.

    @EconWatcher:

    There’s this phenomenon for a lot of women — let’s call it “Adrian Paul Syndrome” — where a physically attractive man loses a big chunk of attractiveness if he turns out to be an idiot or a douchebag.

    I get to name the syndrome because I discovered it the night I saw Adrian Paul (star of the “Highlander” TV series) on a talk show one night and was so horrified by his real-life idiocy that I never watched his show again.

    OK, so “exudes sexiness” is a really objective measure, but criteria #1 is intelligence. Gohmert is objectively a moron.

    Uh oh…

    Rising tax revenues, public spending cuts and big payments to the Treasury from state-backed mortgage firms helped the government take in $117 billion more last month than it paid out, the U.S. Treasury said on Thursday.

    Analysts polled by Reuters had expected a smaller surplus of $39.5 billion.

    June’s surplus was the largest for that month on record.

    An improving economy and tax hikes enacted earlier in the year led government receipts to rise to $287 billion, up 10 percent from a year earlier.

    Also driving the surplus in June, state-backed mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were bailed out by taxpayers in the wake of the financial crisis but have since returned to profitability, poured billion of dollars into public coffers.

    Fannie Mae, which said in May it would return $59 billion to the Treasury in dividends, provided most of the funds.

    Fannie Mae paying the govt back, budget surplus due to tax hikes, unemployment continuing to drop, Obamacare slowing Medicare spending. This is a wingnut catastrophe!

    What an intriguing idea. I would have thought that Louis Gohmert’s douchey-ness was without question, but apparently there are actually people in this world who not only don’t deplore him, but who are actually hot for the guy. That is so bizarre it’s hard to believe.

    Seriously, how drunk were you guys the first time someone uttered the word “sharknado”?

    I want to be a SyFy concept guy. You get paid to sit around getting hammered so long as you can come up with awesomely stupid movie ideas that cost $14.83 to make.

    It has to be the best job in the universe.

    If you were a shark and you found yourself flying through the air, wouldn’t you keep biting? I think you’d be pretty pissed about being plucked out of your nice familiar ocean where you’re king of the predators, and you’d probably take it out on whoever got in your way. Honestly, I don’t understand why people are so perplexed by this concept. The logic is undeniable.

    ? Martin

    @Botsplainer: I agree completely. I love the no-budget SyFy movies. They are exactly what they aspire to be. No expectations for awards. It’s a stupid idea, executed with a bit of tongue in cheek, on an appropriate budget, with washed up stars from the 80s who need rehab money. If you get the job, give me a ring and I’ll come join you.

    How impossibly effed-up is the conservative mind? They are rating a bunch of guys for “sex appeal” that publicly say that sex is bad, rape is OK, that are for government mandates that force women seeking a medical service to have a plastic object inserted into their vagina for no other purpose than humiliation, that have severe hang-ups about who people may marry, that think the best form of sex ed is ignorance, that would prefer women die of cervical cancer to score political points, among their other sexual hypocrisy. Really? Conservative women find that sexy?

    So the politichicks feel Rick Perry is doing a great job stealing big businesses away from the “tanking state” of California. I live in California, and I was under the impression that we are doing OK these days. Maybe “tanking” means something different in Politichickese.

    @schrodinger’s cat: As a natural towhead (well, finally it’s starting to verge on brown), that annoys me to no end as well. It’s an even more virulent form of the “dumb blonde” meme, which of course needs to die a violent death.

    The article is funny, but holy balls, the comments are hilarious. “Where’s Rick Santorum?” “Where’s Rush Limbaugh?” (Seriously, they’re upset that RUSH LIMBAUGH was left off a “sexiest conservatives” list.)

    Citizen_X

    No. California is tanking. And the deficit is still exploding, and global temperatures have stopped rising, and employment is not improving. Never mind what the Lamestream media tells you. I’ve heard all the above from conservatives in the last 24 hours (honest!), so it must be true.

    ANYONE who thinks that Jonah Goldberg is “hot” should be immediately put down as a menace to the gene pool.

    @Petorado: Something tells me that, in the conservative mindset, the women aren’t supposed to find anything or anyone sexy, ‘Cuz, you know, women don’t have sex drives, there’s no such thing as a female orgasm, and–LOOK, a squirrel!

    No, I think the ones who are supposed to regard this list of handsome, strapping gents as sexy are the same conservative bros who already masturbate whenever their demigod Rush speaks.

    Good God almighty, Rush fucking Limbaugh is on that list, may God forgive us all. Also Looey Göehmert and Mark Levin. How anybody can seriously say those guys are (shudder) “hot” is beyond me. I am a straight guy, so, truth to tell, I’ve never seen any guy I’d want to see naked, but those guys… Just, ewwwwww.
