Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The revolution will be supervised.

He really is that stupid.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans in disarray!

T R E 4 5 O N

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

Ah, the different things are different argument.

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

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

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

This fight is for everything.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

    I’ve got a bit of nostalgia – I lived right next to Fenway for 12 years, and for the first 7 of those, really soaked up the Red Sox atmosphere. I was involved in all the 2004 games, and it was magical beyond compare.

    Fuck the Sawx. Screw the Cards. Bullshit teams playing a bullshit game. Baseball ought to be grateful for cricket, since otherwise it would be the worst-sucking popular sport in the multiverse.

    Well, while we’re talking sports:

    Politico:

    A new app called 2nd Vote is designed to allow conservative voters to see how companies score on five issues: gun rights, abortion, the environment, same-sex marriage and federal subsidies — though it’s even attracted some liberal fans. Giving each company a score from 1 to 10, the app rates everything from the airline industry to Internet businesses as actively liberal, passively liberal, passively conservative and actively conservative. …

    In the long run, 2nd Vote plans to add more issues, more companies and add gamification features to the app that would encourage users to rack up high scores by shopping at conservative companies.

    Wonderful. A new step forward for the Conservative Purity Wars: Now they’re scoring it.

    @JGabriel: there was a site called Buy Blue that was the same. Turns out that tracking corporate behavior is really difficult. I don’t expect this to last long (or if it does, to be useless parroting of standard republican talking points)

    @Yatsuno:

    I’m just trying to imagine the conversations:

    Con 1: You just bought a Vente at Starbucks, you commie libtard

    Con 2: Oh yeah, well, my Conservative score is 20,473 and your’s is only 19,874. You haven’t even cracked 20k yet, you Islamofascist creep-balls.

    Eventually there will be but one final Conservative, and he will be Reagan Reborn.

    Heh. This was my prediction, Oct. 2008:

    Between the freepers hating on [Kathleen] Parker, and McCain dissing [George] Will, the Republican Purity Wars continue apace.

    By 2012 they will have all killed each other off in a orgy of murder, cannibalism, and purer-than-thou recrimination, until only 2 are left, Ace of Spades and Michelle Malkin, each circling the other with rocks in their hand, shouting “You’re a RINO!” “No, you are!”

    One of them leans in for the attack, they pounce, and…

    I may have been too optimistic on how quickly it would happen, but it’s remarkable how little has changed in the dynamic.
