Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

In my day, never was longer.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

    And that chyron can still omit the “…to turkey carnage over her shoulder” and remain 100% accurate.

    Yes, Turkey Pardon day was so much fun she quit a few months later. Princess Dumbass of the North for sure.

    I was searching for that video a couple of days ago (annual tradition, dontchaknow), and after typing ‘Sarah Palin turkey’ into the search bar, Google helpfully offered some suggestions to refine the search: ‘massacre’, ‘fiasco’, and ‘slaughter’.

    The other thing is that if you’re masochistic and actually listen to the whole damn interview, she babbles on about how important it is to her to go back and fight for Alaskans as their governor and so on and so forth. Six months later, of course, she resigned.

    Watch that guy in the background. At first he just stands there awkwardly, aware that he’s in the shot and torn between wasting work time and ruining the Governor’s interview. Then he says to himself, “Ah, fuck it, I got work to do,” and resumes killing turkeys. A more conscientious worker than the almost-Vice president in the foreground.

    To quote a comedian commenting at the time of the video, “It’s a turkey farm. It’s Thanksgiving. What do you think the turkeys do? Graduate?

    I love watching the holiday classics: A Christmas Carol, Christmas Story, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street……and the Palin Turkey Massacre. They never get old.

    It’s impossible for me to look at her and not hear “Yackety Sax” playing in the background.

    Everyone poops, but we don’t interview celebrities and politicians on the shitter.

    In keeping with the holiday theme, the Tea Party (and GOP) is chock full of nut crackers.

    @? Martin: Didn’t LBJ give interviews while sitting on the throne? I’d rather listen to LBJ taking a dump than listen to whatever those sounds are coming out of Sarah Palin’s mouth.

    Sometimes I’m ashamed of wasting neurons on her, but Palin is in my top 5 of the most loathsome public figures. Her and Rinse Pubics are so full of it I get hives just listening to them bs their way through interviews.

    I’ve seen chickens beheaded when I was a kid, but I’ve never once been able to click on that video. I can’t watch it.

    @NotMax: There is no button though, right? You have to use html tags?

    I tried it and fucked it up several times and gave up. Probably Bill Gates’s fault at some level.

    @BGinCHI

    Dunno about buttons – mostly surf with images turned off, so really never saw them even if they were once there.

    Real men use HTML. :)

    strike and /strike – inside the angle brackets.

    The only thing that makes it better was the first year it appeared, on Keith Olbermann’s show, with punning commentary running along the bottom.

    Good times.

    I’m thinking a WKRP/Sarah Palin Turkey mashup would be tons o fun.

    My god. I haven’t actually listened to Sarah Palin in so long, I forgot why people use the phrase ‘word salad’ to describe her. Nothing she said went anywhere or connected to anything.

    It’s a holiday classic, like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

    And the height of Hypocrisy is palin keeps talking about and bashing ObamaCare (because what ELSE has she got?) and Her and her Family receive “ FREE ” Socialized HealthCare paid for with taxpayer dollars.
    Read the actual documents that PROVE it. She CAN’T deny it.

    Speaking of clemency, our current President hopes the public will pardon him for a turkey named ACA
