Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Everybody saw this coming.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

In after Baud. Damn.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

    Happy BDay, SoonerGrunt! You’re my favorite Sooner who I’m not related to, who doesn’t play football for OU and who isn’t Elizabeth Warren, LOL! Hope you had a great one!

    A very happy birthday to Soonergrunt, Boudica’s husband, gogiggs, and anyone else born on this day. My Uncle Frank would have been 100 today. And William S. Burroughs, too, of course.

    I think Joe Mixon ended up signing with the Sooners; as a UCLA Dude, can I still wish Happy Birthday to you? Of course!

    Watching Daily Show and the wonderful Samantha Bee is “reporting” from Beirut. Hello people, this is one of my beats and could you at least put a plausible green screen background? That wasn’t Beirut by a long shot. But, of course, nobody knows, right?

    Meanwhile, a big high five to Soonergrunt who is an outstanding BJ correspondent.

    Happy Bday, Sooner! Or will you be changing your name to TakesAMomentGrunt now that you’re old?

    Because it’s so important that we celebrate the sociopaths among us. Maybe Soonergrunt can praise the murder of U.S. citizens by our president once again, and when he’s blowing out candles on his birthday cake he can pretend he’s snuffing out the lives of U.S. citizens without charging them with a crime or offering ’em a trial.

    Hey! I know! Why restrict ourselves to living sociopaths, like Soonergrunt?

    Happy birthday, Ed Gein! Happy birthday, Herman Mudgett! Happy birthday, Pol Pot!

    @boudica Well, I have been in Texas, but not since, um… 1980
    @currants One of at least four of us is probably very lucky.
    but, yeah, yesterday was the the 21st increasingly less convincing celebration of my 29th birthday.
