Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

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

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Racist College Campus Incident #30,042: Harvard Law School

Have you heard people saying that the racist incidents at the University of Missouri are just isolated incidents and not indicative of culture of racism on college campuses? Well, you can tell those people to put it in their pipes and smoke it. Students at Harvard Law School found that all the portraits of tenured African-American law professors, which are displayed in the main building, had black slashes of tape across their faces. And this was the morning after students had rallied in support of national calls for racial justice on campuses:

Leland Shelton, the president of the Black Law Students Association, told ThinkProgress that he viewed the incident as a hostile action. It “wasn’t done by an ally. It wasn’t in support of black students and black professors,” Shelton said.

Team Blackness also discussed former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle questionable defense of his pedophilia, the House approves the Syrian refugees bill, and more outrage in Minneapolis in response to Jamar Clark’s death at the hands of police.

    Just a note: HLS is not college.

    The first discussion I saw about this online had commenters saying it was probably false-flag vandalism by some black provocateur within about five seconds. It was kind of amazing.

    I heard, even on this very website (in the comments, but from people who should know better) that the problem with Mizzou is that it is in Missouri.

    Not surprised in the least. Brings back unpleasant memories.

    Except that all the tape incident proves is that someone put tape on the pictures. Decrying an entire campus as racist for something which is conceivably the act of a single asshole is foolish at best.

    I’m so glad you are willing to stand up and defend domestic violence in the Jamar Clark case. Also, the Harvard portrait vandalism is horseshit.
