Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everybody saw this coming.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

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

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

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

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

The jury literally has a bell they can ring to force Trump to show up on command. Greatest thing ever!

“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”

Washington Post’s Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

In after Baud. Damn.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Republicans don’t trust women.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

    looks like this site is also on the list for Denial of Service :-), just like the healthcare.gov site.

    Man, this website sucks worse than healthcare.gov. I want Issa to launch an investigation.

    Your packets are in our echo chamber.

    If MM was less of a socalist and more of a libertarian neckbeard, we’d have better IT.

    I read the barebones of the Martin-Incognito story in amazement. What in the hell is this shit?
    First, Martin should have fought back. Like Steve Smith of the Panthers said he would against that loudmouth conerback. Second, Incognito is more of an idiot than I thought possible. And that is no mean feat.

    Last… the Dolphins have a PR nightmare on their hands.
