Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

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

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

No one could have predicted…

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

We still have time to mess this up!

    I’m so sorry you’ve received sad news. A lot of that going around lately.

    So glad you shared that video, though! Fantastic musicians, and like you said, cheering.

    A few years ago, a klezmer band put out a holiday album called, “Oy to the World: A Klezmer Christmas.” I liked that.

    Fucktons of Sympathy Tim F.

    Postmodern Jukebox continuously doles out the awesome.
    There’s a Patron campaign if you’d like to give these fine folks a few dollars per vidja.

    Sorry to hear. I dealt with a very sick mother last year and it was taxing beyond words.The only benefit is she is better and it got our family closer.

    Sorry for your news, Tom.

    I saw the Irish-American band Solas yesterday in a little club north of Santa Cruz. Their latest album is a theme album, about the Irish who settled in Butte, Montana to work the copper mines. Tell God and the Devil

    Whatever the sad news is, I am sorry for it, and if at all possible hope things get better.

    Oh bloody bumblefuck – Tom not Tim. Second time that’s happened today.

    I should be allowed to take a Mulligan and start the day over tomorrow.

    also too, fucktons are a time honored measurement.

    Like everyone else, sorry about the sad news.

    OT, but to cheer everyone up, Noisemax has picked a new RINO to go after:

    Thoughts and prayers for yr family, Dr. Tom.

    I “forgot” how my bonus structure/payouts work and got a pleasant surprise when I went into my accounts to pay bills this morning, which was really nice. Will go to savings for our daughters. :)

    Very sorry to hear your family has been hit with bad tidings. Definitely will keep you in my thoughts.

    I really like Klezmer music. It’s one of those genres that really shows off its anthro-archeological bones, too, with phrases and tonality that sound (to me, anyway) Moorish/Arabic, possibly Celtic, and FSM knows what else.

    Oy gevalt.

    Who knew Jason Derulo was Jewish?

    (They should have titled their version “Talk Yiddish.” But what do I know. I’m just a long-suffering Jewish mother who likes to listen to Top 40 radio.)
