Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The willow is too close to the house.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

He really is that stupid.

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

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

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Anyone Want Another NYC Meet-Up?

Bleg from commentor Abo Gato:

My husband and I will be in NYC next week and would love to have a BJ meetup one evening next week if you can scare up some other participants.

We come in on Monday and leave on Saturday. The only commitment we have is on Wednesday night when we go see Paul Simon and Sting perform together. We’ll be staying in mid-town. We will go in any direction to meetup…

Anybody interested / willing to volunteer to set up a meet, leave a comment below or email me at annelaurie dot verizon.net (click on my name under ‘contact’ in the right-hand column).

    @Culture of Truth:

    It’s too crowded.

    That’s what I saw when I got to the airport there, so I flew to London.

    Don’t know if this counts as an open thread, but it’s pretty freaky to see our long-awaited rainstorm headed towards us on the weather radar. It’s like what they show when Godzilla is wading towards Tokyo.

    For medium-sized groups (<10 people), Burp Castle is a quiet place to have a beer and chat.
