Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Books are my comfort food!

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

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

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

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

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

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

    Trump has 58% of non-college graduate whites… but tied with HRC for college educated whites…and that’s a good thing…how?

    Kornacki was on MSNBC talking bout Trump strategy is to get a larger share of the white vote than Romney to somehow offset, the large gap in non-white votes vs HRC

    someone on the CSpan post speech call in was explaining he’s been waiting 40 years to cast a vote against the establishment, which is why he’s voting for Trump, because the establishment has destroyed the country.

    @Matt McIrvin:

    Its a huge state in population. To make much of a difference overall there would have to be something very systematic. That said, even if the turnout was huge and Bernie lost, there would have to be SOME reason, no? (rigged, fraudulent, people were kept from voting) There were always differences in polled results based on likely registered voters as I recall… Lets see as things roll out..

    The Washington Post version (linked in the Jezebel one) has some extra details that explain the murder charge. Apparently witnesses saw the car at a standstill with the two sisters inside when the driver suddenly stomped on the accelerator and drove off the cliff. Not exactly what you want your Cub Scouts to see on their outing.

    This one gets you booted. Say goodnight Gracie!

    First of all: thank you.
    Second: can we keep him banned? He will not “learn his lesson” –he’s already been banned for racism, for sexism, plus tonight (not sure into which category it falls, didn’t see his comment, saw your reason). I just get so tired of seeing his lying and hateful crap.

    @The Thin Black Duke: I confess to a morbid curiosity. Also about what’s going on in the Sanders HQ!

    I’m been privately predicting a rout in CA, and i’m going to go out on a limb and say I expect it to go big for Clinton.

    (What is it that keeps the AV systems from working right from the get-go in important events like this?)

    A very good speech. She covered all the important themes very well. She showed people, again, how human and likable she is. She showed where she gets her strength and that she won’t back down from Donnie.

    I like that she appealed to everyone, not just her supporters, not just Democrats, but even to Republicans, to remember what this country is really all about.

    I hope Bernie gets on the bus soon, and works hard to bring his people with him.

    We need to run the table this fall. We need to do all we can to help her make that happen.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Miss Bianca: There were certain elements in the “tease”, if I may use that word, for the story that were essential to my interests. And it did. And then the story got weird, really, really weird.

    All he needs is a grav chair to go drifting around the room while boasting about his sexual exploits and making perv suggestions about underage kids.

    And if he grav chair moves fast enough, we get to see his combover trailing behind him.

    And, not disagreeing with you, but I think Rushbo fits that profile a little better (fat, likes underage boys).

    It’s certainly looking like a rout in CA. If this holds up it’s going to make the CA polling look even worse than the MI polling was.

    I didn’t think I’d be emotional about this, but when she came out and just basked in the applause and again when she talked about her mother, I teared up. This is a great day for America. The speech was well delivered and moving. Watched back to back with Trump it was no contest.
    Game on.
    CA Clinton up 62 36 with 5 % in.

    And the AP has officially called SD for Clinton!

    @Davebo: Michigan shocked me – CA does not. I always had a feeling it would break big for Clinton, despite the pretensions of the Sanders campaign. CA would have shocked me if it had gone for Sanders, altho’ the margin may well narrow.

    @O. Felix Culpa: Congratulations and thanks to you, too!

    NBC just called SD for Clinton.

    Interesting factoid courtesy of Harry Enten at 538: if Clinton holds onto CA, she wins the seven biggest states (by pledged delegates) and 10 of the top 11.

    @Omnes Omnibus: Montana and California haven’t been called yet. Clinton has a narrow lead in Montana and a huge one in California… but the California results so far are early votes that may be skewed toward groups who favor Clinton, and may have also been made when she had a larger statewide lead. Still, the lead is enormous.

  321. 321.

    Matt McIrvin

    …and in Montana, Clinton’s lead is less than a thousand votes with only 23.7% of the state in, so there’s plenty of room for reversals there.

    ETA: Excuse me, that’s Sanders’ lead (thanks Lizzy L).

    The above is one of the reasons Sanders was never really in Clinton’s league as a candidate. One of the cornerstones of Obama’s wins was banking early votes as much as possible, and 2016 Hillary seems to have picked up on that.

    Bernie preferred to hold rallies and listen to people cheer his name. Amateur hour.

    Hillz did a great job tonight. It was very touching.

    Trump’s speech was flat bc he used a TelePrompTer (just like Obama.). Heh
    Also, it sounded like he inhaled quickly after he read every line. It was strange.

    @lamh36:

    Compared to how Romney did, Trump has 1% more of the non-college whites, which Kornacki called a troubling trend, and has 14% LESS of the college educated whites, but Kornacki held out hope that Trump could make some of that up. I mean, he was really trying to make it seem that was good news for Donald Trump, but, it seems to me those are very good numbers for Clinton. I mean, overall, it appears she is doing better with white voters than Obama did. Be interesting to see what the male-female breakdown is.
