Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

No one could have predicted…

Accountability, motherfuckers.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

I was promised a recession.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

    I am hammered in Miami and watching my guys throw negative game at extremely attractive Paraguayan identical twins (female). That said, as soon as I mentioned I was married to the one not wearing heels and not married, she ran away. I literally don’t give two shits outside of being a presence, but I think it speaks to a mildly quiet desperation around today’s youth when meeting anyone in person.

    @efgoldman: Maybe that’s it. But I went to dinner with 3 single guys, and have encountered a few other single girls tongiht, and either everyone is just looking to get laid (quite possible) or everyone is really, really fucking lonely.

    John posted a tweet that said, “Trump – He’s not Hitler”. Reminds me of a bumper sticker (I still have) that says, “George W. Bush – not a cokehead anymore!”

    And I just got back from the bathroom to see some hardcore desperate game-throwing.

    @Major Major Major Major: Not sure how you are tracking (may be a CA thing), but consider getting a provisional ballot and hand it to a human being.

    Love mail in ballots. I have faith in USPS. Zero in AZ keepers of the ballots, but it beats the fiasco we had last election when 300 polling places was reduced to 60, because . . . stupid.

    @Major Major Major Major: AZ has you put it in the mailbox and you are good to go (GTG). USPS has it, rain, snow(?), sleet or hail.

    Once it reaches the scurvy hands of the Rethug Machine I have my doubts.

    It’s goat season here in the Bay Area. All the parks and large landowners in the hills bring in goats to keep the grass down before fire season starts. They also love to eat poison oak and star thistle. The latter is poisonous to horses.

    Thank you, John. I am surviving on Netflix “Unlikely Animal Friends” because the “stupid” sweet beasts large and small actually can find comity…congress – obsessed about what is in our underpants these days while they cozy up to derp fuhrer.

    Ditched everyone else. The remaining guy was trying too hard to get laid. We stopped at our hotel, whose bar was closed. I got out and peaced without hesitation, while the other guy stayed in the Uber. He was trying to hit on the very life-confused girl riding in the front while trying to attract the interest of the single mom in the back. Jesus Christ what a weird dynamic.

    !Non-ironically, I thank any higher powers that I am happily married and not surfing through Tinder and awkward bar meetups.

    Christ Jesus, the missing plane coverage is stupid. What’s wrong with covering the pertinent facts (which would take 90 seconds, tops) and saying they’ll let us know just as soon as new facts come to light?

    The ad that is flashing above the front page says

    From Portman’s senate campaign committee. WTF?

    Going to sleep. Waking not up in 3.5 hours to run in the oppressive South Florida humidity. I hope I’m sober by then.

    @Adam L Silverman: Schmuck status is right on the corner of the strike zone of banishment. Have a good night, sleep well and if they posted ass-hattery during your sleepy time, rid them of our world. . .

    Remember, it’s not like they won’t try and re-enter the Gates of Cole.

    Just read in NYT that Jeff Weaver was referenced as an actual comic book store owner. Is that real, or Did they get massively trolled?

    Bonus points to who can guess how quickly the missing airplane eclipses the Nevada Dem Meltdown…

    Is there a market for goat sweaters? I could totally make those. Those kids are wicked cute.

    For weeks, some current and former Sanders campaign workers have privately acknowledged feeling disheartened about Mr. Weaver’s determination to go after the Democratic National Committee, fearing a pitched battle with the party they hope to support in the general election. The intraparty fighting has affected morale, they say, and raised concerns that Mr. Weaver, a longtime Sanders aide who more recently ran a comic book store, was not devoted to achieving Democratic unity. Several described the campaign’s message as having devolved into a near-obsession with perceived conspiracies on the part of Mrs. Clinton’s allies.

    @Carolinus:

    From the same NYTimes article:

    Privately, Mrs. Clinton’s advisers said Mr. Sanders could win California but emphasized their confidence that Mrs. Clinton would still win the nomination. She now has a total of 2,293 pledged delegates and superdelegates; she needs 90 more to win the nomination, although superdelegates can shift their support up to the convention. Mr. Sanders has 1,533 pledged delegates and superdelegates.

    Obvious hit piece by the pro-Clinton NYT.
    Nice to see them run a quote from a Nevada State Official repping socialism and progressivism though!

    @Jonathan Holland Becnel:
    Well, nobody was physically harmed in Nevada (although the threats made against certain people need to be taken seriously) and the delegate count was ultimately unaffected. The missing Egyptian plane has on board nearly 70 people, whose friends and loved ones are fearing the worst right now. Which story do you think is more important?

    Which one of the cable news channels will be the first to go to Trump HQ to get Trump’s reaction to the missing plane story?
