Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Here’s my question to the learned scholar Bundy: Why are so many of them sitting on their porches if they abort their young children because they never learned to pick cotton?

Update: Our deep thinker on the subjects of race and culture probably lost Hannity with this:

“Now let me talk about the Spanish people,” Bundy said in a new video unearthed by New York magazine, right after he concluded his thoughts on “the Negro.”

“I understand that they come over here against our Constitution and cross our borders,” he says. “But they’re here and they’re people. I worked side-by-side a lot of them. Don’t tell me they don’t work, and don’t tell me they don’t pay taxes. And don’t tell me they don’t have better family structures than most of us white people.”

“When you see those Mexican families, they’re together. They picnic together. They’re spending their time together,” he said. “I’ll tell you, in my way of thinking, they’re awful nice people. We need to have those people join us and be with us.”

    Holy crap. I was just reading some of the postings on his ranch’s Facebook page and someone actually said “he just wants blacks to get back the work ethic they had in the 1800’s”. Amazing how much work you can get done when someone’s beating you. I really had no idea there were people who were so clueless about slavery. This has been an education for me (and I live in the South!).

    “They never learned to pick cotton.”

    Encapsulated in one sentence is the ignorance and inhumanity of the American right wing.

    Just think about what it means to utter that sentence in the face of history.

    Bundy denied he is a racist and “clarified” his remarks today on a wingnut radio program:

    I’m wondering if they’re better off under a government subsidy and their young women are having the abortions and their young men are in jail and their older women and children are sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do.

    I’m wondering: Are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were when they were slaves and they was able to their family structure together and the chickens and the garden and the people have something to do?

    So in my mind, are they better off being slaves in that sense or better off being slaves to the United States government in the sense of the subsidy? I’m wondering. The statement was right. I am wondering.

    Yeah, that clears it right up.

    Well, I’m sure Mr. Bundy – said “slavery” and dependency being so repugnant to him and all – will be only too pleased to help the African-American citizens of his area avoid that awful fate by offering them some well-paying jobs on his ranch, right?

    Yes. That is exactly what he thinks ‘welfare’ is. That’s how Reagan told him it works.

    And since they think blacks are getting a free ride, they think the system is so easy on blacks that Obama got to be president without earning it, and is cowardly, dumb, irresponsible, lazy, and abuses his power because he has no respect for decent people, the system, and his betters. That’s how racists view a ‘lesser’ race, as overgrown children who aren’t getting enough discipline. They end up describing themselves, most of the time.

    Yeah, why don’t those African-Americans have the initiative to get an independent he-man All-American subsidy system like what Cliven Bundy did: take government stuff without paying and then threaten to shoot its revenooers when they try to collect?

    Welcome to post racial America.

    Funny that his racial bigotry threatens to damage him, when it didn’t seem to make much news when it came out that he seems to be stretching the truth, or maybe just plain lying(?) about how long his family has owned and controlled land in the area. His story about his ownership and use of the land predating the BLM seems to be false.

    Local TV Station Sheds Doubt On Bundy’s Claims About His Family Ranch

    “…court records obtained by KLAS indicated the family’s cattle didn’t begin grazing the land until 1954. The Bureau of Land Management was created in 1946 (the same year Cliven Bundy was born.) ”

    http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/cliven-bundy-ancestral-rights

    If you follow the links, IIRC, the claim on the land that he does own goes back to the 1940s. His family was farming and ranching from around 1910, but that was in AZ.

    The guy is a federal government welfare king, and he is a bigot. I’ll gladly let Hannity try to excuse this guy all he wants to his weak minded elderly audience. I will watch Colbert and Stewart to get some accurate analysis.

    It’s like you guys deserve shitty internet service if all you want to do is puff yourself up over superficial bullshit. But look, he owns a ranch and conservatives like him! Meanwhile, the country further slides down into an oligarchy. The only bread and circus you guys need is to be able to make fun of racist conservatives, and you are happy.

    By the way, as a person who grew up working with side-by-side with African-Americans, Hispanics, (and miscellaneous white trash and Okies, and Sikhs too, BTW) in the fields in central California, Bundy’s talk about Mexicans is bigoted too, IMHO and from my experience. Full of patronizing stereotypes. Just because it sounds nicer, does not mean it is not bigoted and ignorant.

    He probably has a history of getting their labor very cheap, which explains his more civil bigotry on Hispanics more than anything else.

    I saw a very old book on farm management in California once, from the late 19th century. It was a manual for farmers. It had bigoted descriptions of pretty much any ethnic work gang an olde-tymey California farmer would come across: Irish, black, Mexican, Hindu, Sikh, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and a few more. Bundy could have been reading out of that book on is testimonial to the Mexicans. Pathetic.

    @dan: And in the net neutrality thread, socoolsofresh was accused of comments that amount to sitting there crying fatalistically that nothing could be done and the cause was lost, and I think with good reason.

    I’m not interested in repeated internet neutrality threads so we can all cry in our beer to Socool’s satisfaction.

    In the meantime, racial bigotry prejudice and ignorant race-based fear on the part of whites has royally screwed up many very important issues in this country. And has got a lot of reactionary lawmakers elected who take the wrong side of the internet neutrality debate, among other things. But, I guess race is not an important issue.

From reading your comments, it seems this kind of thing doesn’t concern you. It does many of us here. And yes, if allowed to go unchecked, Mr. Bundy’s stand could very well metasticize into similar actions by other aggrieved, reality-challenged folks, a state of affairs that really does have a chance at making a large impact on my quality of life. Other stories in the news at this very moment provide numerous examples.
