Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

This blog will pay for itself.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

“There is more than a little evidence that there has been actual demonic or satanic activity going on within [Obama’s] circle and has been for many years. I believe the Omen analogy is quite apt.”

Yup, according to sometime Fox commentator and fulltime problem Erik Rush, Obama is Satan. Good to know the Right isn’t above name calling.

But at least there’s some good news today, as the Democrats went “nuclear” and pushed through  a controversial change to Senate filibuster rules that will make it easier to approve President Obama’s nominees. We have a feeling the name calling isn’t done just yet.

Also on today’s #TWiBRadio: #TeamBlackness discusses whether selfies are actually a cry for help (seriously?) (24:30), what culturally biracial really means (34:00), and whether R. Kelly’s genius can make a dolphin and ice hockey players be sexy (01:09:01).

    So is this “Erik Rush” an actually person or is he the unfortunate laboratory result of an attempt to combine the DNA of Erik Erickson and Rush Limbaugh?

    Remember when The Nuclear Option meant blowing up the Deepwater Horizon wreckage with an atomic bomb in hopes it would magically stop the leak? Yeah, me too.

    And, in adjacent stories on my Google News feed I learn that today, after 82 years, three innocent poor black men were finally pardoned (posthumously) while, after 11 years in prison, a rich white convicted murderer was released on bail. The best justice system money can buy, indeed.

    Just saw a clip on Rev Al’s show of Senator Grassley promising that when Repubs take control of the Senate, they’ll extend the filibuster nuclear option to Supreme Court nominees.

    Of course.

    @Patricia Kayden: well when the R’s next take control of the Senate, most likely Grassley will be one dead sonofabitch. In essence, fuck him and the group of hypocritical bastards of a political party that he’s a part of.

    Hmmm. Since I can’t watch the clip, what evidence is he pointing to this time that we elected Satan?

    Oh, and Grandpa McCain is not happy:

    Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that Democrats would “pay a heavy, heavy price” for changing the Senate rules for judicial and executive nominees.

    And this years projection award goes to:

    They’re governed by the newer members… who have never been in a minority, who are primarily driving this issue,” McCain told reporters after the vote. “They succeeded and they will pay a very, very heavy price for it.”

    You know, people who say things like these used to be placed under medical care if they were lucky, and left to wander city alleys and sidewalks if they were not. The LAST FUCKING PLACE they’d be found would be interviewed on television.

    Sometimes I feel as though American political discourse has turned into one big elaborate prank.

    @ranchandsyrup: I can’t figure that one out for the life of me. The Danish queen is an accomplished artist in her own right; she of all people should have put her foot down on this mess.

    Back in October 2008 Faux News James Pinkerton’s received the Pulitzer Prize for his piece The Devil is in the Details: Another Obama Connection You Ought to Know About, asking the important question; Could Lucifer play a role in this presidential election?

    Very glad to see Harry Reid finally delivering after all these years.

    All I want to see until year end is a stream of administrative and judicial appointments, since we still can’t pass any legislation in Congress as currently constituted.

    This gentleman, over a period of 4 yrs, has been stopped by LE 258 times, searched over 100 times and arrested and jailed for trespassing 62 times for “trespassing” at the place where he works. His boss installed cameras to monitor the cops.

    After Obama, the Anti-Christ will be whoever wins the 2016 Democratic nomination. This isn’t unique to Obama.

    @Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader: Reminds me of a friend (hardcore right-wing) who has, for the last 2 elections told me that is has *the* most liberal voting record in the Senate. On Obama, I called him out with “Yeah, you said that about John Kerry, too.” It’s a common trick whenever a Congressman runs that a thinktank will score the candidate as having “the most liberal voting record in Congress”, but now it’s gotten so bad that you’ve got religious nutjobs getting on TV trying to prove that the Democratic candidate (or in this case, winner) fulfills antichrist prophecies.

    But Obama is black so that means there’s no such thing as racism any more.

    @ranchandsyrup: something is fishy here. The police seem to be trying to drive him out of business. I mean, if the police were regularly preventing my employees from working and driving away my customers, I would assume that someone gave an order to bankrupt me.

    @Keith P: it’s not that hard. Thanks to the prophets, anyone making a claim that they will make life better can be said to be the antichrist.

    Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader

    @Keith P: The thinking is that the Republican candidate is the Candidate of God so the Democratic candidate automatically has to be Anti-God or Anti-Christ. Where it gets fun (if you ever want to engage these idiots) is when you ask them if All This End Times Nonsense is God’s plan, then shouldn’t they be supporting the Anti-Christ? Of course, they will recoil from this idea and say God’s will shall come to pass regardless of what they do and that’s when you strike and say Exactly! That’s why God made the Republican candidate the Anti-Christ! Then you point out all this crazy shit about Mitt Romney’s religion and then they get spooked and stop talking to ya and eventually unfriend you on Facebook.

    @ranchandsyrup:

    I think in the article the guy says he’s not going to sue the city. I hope I read that wrong.

    I think you read that wrong:

    Salah and his attorney, Steve Lopez, are preparing to file a federal civil rights lawsuit, contending that the police department has routinely, under the direction of the city’s top leaders, directed its officers to conduct racial profiling, illegal stops and searches and other activities to cover up illegal misconduct.
