Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

So very ready.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

So many bastards, so little time.

You cannot shame the shameless.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Second rate reporter says what?

He really is that stupid.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

The National Guard is not Batman.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Everybody saw this coming.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

    What was the point of his being on Rachel? We did learn that he doesn’t understand the role of the Supreme Court so I guess that’s something.

    I assume he went on Rachel cuz no one else is calling. He doesn’t have the Donald’s number to ask for help getting on FOX.

    I lost my sh*t throughout the video. Literally still giggling out loud. Thanks, Cole.

    Offtopic but holy cow is anyone watching Maddow interviewing Santorum? He is absolutely insane on a mindblowing level when it comes to judicial oversight/ the Supreme Court. He take on it is basically that congress/legislature should keep passing laws outlawing abortion/same-sex marriage until they get a decision they like. He’s basically admitting that the strategy is just to keep throwing mud until they got one to stick/ can wait out the court/ find a judge they like. He even brought up the notion of checks and balances as though the thing keeping the judicial balanced is spamming the same cases over and over.

    ..and now he’s doubling down on gay marriage opening the door to man on dog and ‘other stuff’. Yikes. I know he’s already a real long shot but in a sane world his presidential ambitions would be in a smoking crater after that interview.

    @Marcolin: I just got home, but I saw he was on her show at the gym. Now her entire studio has to be scrubbed of Santorum on the chairs.

    Who fu#king cares about Gawker and this mess? Isnt there something more worthy of coverage, like polar bears shitting on an ice floe?

    @Davebo: Santorum has a favorite sandwich that consists of American cheese, turkey, and mayonnaise on Wonder Bread.

    @Davebo: I doubt that she would have him on. Rachel Ray that is. She’s an okay cook and shit sandwich doesn’t appeal to her.

    OT- this fucking cop who arrested Sandra Bland should be in prison. Also, I want to see more traffic stop tapes from this police department. I don’t believe the glitch story at all. And the jail tape stinks to high heaven.

    I’m seeing a chryon on Lawrence O’Donnell saying that the ADA says 1st Autopsy of Sandra Bland was “defective”

    What da fuq does that even mean?

    They are requesting a 2nd autopsy. Because first autopsy was defective….smh

    semi-OT: do those freakish ads for “PC Matic” security software run in any other market than mine? Open carry in a software commercial? Is there anything these gun-frotters won’t politicize?

    Weather’s too hot for Santorum’s campaign. When winter comes and he hauls out the sweater vests, he’ll be back in business.

    @rikyrah: The autorities know they don’t have to try very hard. A fig leaf or two and that should take care of it.

    @lamh36: Yes, they’re asking her family for the body back. At the same time (says Joy Reid) that the DA was going on local TV leaking little pieces of the “defective” autopsy to make the cops’ suicide story look better. Completely fucked up.

    @cckids: I mean…so now these people can’t even bury their loved one cause this fuckin’ Texas idiots..ya know what, I just can’t even.

    So the expect the family to ship her body back to Texas.

    Fuck that! Make the bastards come to Chi-town or better yet, let FBI take over and do it in Chicago

    Oh, so defective means “proves we’re culpable”. Thanks. I have it on, but I can’t hear it except as charlie brown adult voices.

    @lamh36:

    That’s what the lawyer that Larry O’Donnell had on said; make them come to Chicago. Hell no to letting them get their hands on her again.

    I don’t have to imagine it; we have had a mountain lion staring into our living room through our slider. Freaked us right out.

    @Joel:
    What’s even better is when foreigners name their children after American brands. I kid you not. There are Ecudorians of a certain age and class who have been saddled with names like “Pepsodent” and “Calgon”.

    Some Americans have named their girls “Veruca” after the obnoxious little girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In Britain, a veruca is what they call a plantar wart (also spelled Verruca.)

    @Howard Beale IV:

    Mountain lions are seen in NE Minn, not on a regular basis but not that rarely either. A close neighbor was called by someone who passed by his home to tell him there looked to be a dead deer in his driveway. The neighbor looked out and said that’s not a dead deer, it’s a mountain lion appearing to be napping in the sun.

    We have also heard mountain lion screeches in the middle of the night during the summer about three times. Eerie. Sounds like screaming. We haven’t actually seen one but neighbors have. We have a travel cam out in the woods but have not yet caught a mountain lion on it, just deer, wolves, foxes.
