Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

We still have time to mess this up!

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Not all heroes wear capes.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

    Why McCarthy didn’t go for it at least once when he was a yard away on fourth down in the first half is beyond me. That and pure dumb luck for Seattle doomed us.

    Wow. If AV got bought he should at least make it look a little cleaner than that abortion.

    Just talked to mom. She heaved a sigh of relief. The DAR is sitting on a stockpile of 100 Seahawk scarves that will now sell like hotcakes, rather than need to be stored until next fall.

    @efgoldman: When you were younger could you imagine a time that the Sox and Patriots would be powerhouses? I’m only asking because I couldn’t. I still hate the Dolphins for all those times they beat the Pats. Obviously, I have problems holding a grudge.. haha

    We know he speaks French. Does anyone know if he speaks wicked smaht?

    Had to go do a few things, and I just got caught up on the DVR. Flip or Flop in PIP for commercials. I’ve been addicted to reno shows lately. Weird.

    I hate these fucking commercials for domestic violence.
    It’s a hard topic to talk about, granted. But it’s not a topic or subject or etc that I am speechless or breathless about.
    Talking to young men about consent and what abuse is should not have an adult, male or female, tongue tied.

    Beleichil isn’t THAT smart. I mean, I was taught about eligible receivers when I played P.A.L. flag football as a little kid. What happened on the score was inexcusable for an NFL defense. Especially after what happened to the Ravens last week.

    Thinking that if Colts do not score immediately and decisively on next possession (or if Pats D does not turn into butterflies and exit the premises), Mr Luck will soon be 0-5 against NE.

    Corner Stone

    I was telling Luck to not throw that fucking ball before he ever let it go.
    That’s true, too. No BS.

    Interception. Okay, that’s it. My remote finger was getting itchy anyway.

    And a touchdown! “Turn out the lights, the part’s over.”

    I could’ve ran from Houston and INT’d that pass Luck threw it was so soft and floaty.

    @Corner Stone: PBS has a new mystery .. Grantchester.. I have no idea what it is about though. Raven mentioned several series on Netflix, if you haven’t seen them.
    btw is Marco Polo good. I haven’t seen it yet.

    @JPL:

    btw is Marco Polo good. I haven’t seen it yet.

    That is a good question. Is it good? Hmmm. Is it watchable? Hmmm. Would I say others should try it? Hmmm.
    It’s not good. It is watchable. I would not recommend it.
    If you have some time to kill, give it a look-see. It certainly is not beautifully done, shot, written or acted.
    It’s just a time filler. IMO.

    Just noticed today that Cox has a load of complete series on demand. May start binge-watching The Wire from start to finish. I had a lot of gaps.

    At this point you gotta believe the Pats are playing to send a message to Seattle.

    @efgoldman:

    I remember when the Sullivans couldn’t make payroll because Chuck had financed a Michael Jackson tour and lost money on the deal.

    It took a special kind of business ability to do a deal with the Jacksons in 1984 and lose money. The tour did fine, it was purely a case of incompetent dealmaking. Amazing.

    omg.. Brady is coming back.. Really someone has to be the adult and put in the second string at this point. .

    @JPL: I would have Channing Tatum and a bunch of kevlar bearing fools surround Brady at this point as they escort him to a sound proof room somewhere.

    IMO.. I think Green Bay’s flight home is more uncomfortable than Indy’s. Green Bay should have won that game and Indy ran into a wall with N.E.

    @Corner Stone: @Corner Stone: You mean, she has a splendid rack? Yes, and as I understand it, she is also a rather nice person. Off to see The Fall, though if I could find The Wire (thank you, Steeplejack) I would start that.

    Cheers, m’dears. Patriots 35, Sea Hawks 26, you heard it here first.

    The Seahawks should savor their win while they can, because the Pats will kick their goddamn mother fucking asses in 2 weeks.

    the Conster

    @hilts:

    Yes they will. Yes they totally will. The Seahawks had their SB today. Tom Brady is the best and will not be denied his legacy.

  111. 111.

    p.a.

    @hilts: Wish I agreed, but 31-14 Seattle. Wilson won’t have a stinker 2 games in a row. Seahawk strengths are Pats’ weaknesses- their D front v NE O line, their O line and running game v NE defense. Look what Forsett did last week and think what Lynch will do.

    Heliopause

    @p.a.:

    Well, yeah, I hate to break it to them, but Seattle played, by a hundred miles, the worst game they’ve played in several years. And still won.

    The last time a team came into a SB against the Seahawks, having just obliterated the NFL record for most underneath passes for yards and points, they got mauled by thirty-something. The Pats will need at least one or two of those trick plays, or Brady hitting a couple of deep seam routes, to win this. The Seahawks are all “been there, done that” against white possession receivers catching a bazillion underneath routes against the zone.

    @Heliopause: Don’t be ridiculous. Seattle got their doors completely blown off by Green Bay. They were never remotely competitive in that game. It took a serious of ludicrous derps by the Packers in the final minutes just to get them to overtime. The team we saw play in Seattle loses to the Pats by 3 touchdowns.
