Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

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

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

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

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

A consequence of cucumbers

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

In my day, never was longer.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Come on, man.

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

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Notice that both have a bad case of tanning-bed reverse-racoon-mask. Is this the new White Pride social marker?

… “The Jewish establishment is absolutely zeroing in now on Donald Trump,” Duke said on his radio show on Tuesday. “The viciousness of these Jews is unbelievable.”

“I think this whole Trump University case really, if we exploit it, can really expose the entire Jewish manipulation of the American media the American political process, the American control of politics in America, and truly how that they are the dominant and dangerous power that exists in the United States of America today,” he said.

It’s not the first time Duke has been intertwined with the Trump campaign. In February, the former KKK grand wizard rallied supporters around Trump, saying a ballot cast against Trump would be “treason to your heritage” and calling the Trump movement an “insurgency that is waking up millions of Americans.”

That month, Trump was asked in a CNN interview whether he was willing to unequivocally condemn the white supremacist group and its former leader. He dodged the question…

    Can’t we start referring to him as (((David Duke)))? Just to fuck with him?

    Well, I was at last Thursday meeting, and there was no discussion of Trump University. So, I’m not sure where Dukes is getting his information.

    Why, yes–one should be proud to be White, but not TOO White, you know!

    An endorsement: I don’t know how I found it, but if you’ve ever wanted to read a great takedown of Atlas Shrugged, in over 100 essays, here it is. The word “masterpiece” is thrown around too much lately, but this Adam Lee fellow really deserves a medal for this.

    Does David Duke know that Trump’s daughter is married to a Jew and converted to Judaism? Just wondering if that would make any difference since for him, Jews are the worst (with Blacks running a very close second).

    How self-loathing is his son-in-law? I read the other day that he is the one who is supposedly one of Trump’s most trusted advisors.

    @Baud: I don’t know, when we got married and visited my grand father-in-law for the first time in Mumbai. He was not too happy that his grandson had decided to stay back in the US. He told us about how Indians were thrown out Burma after the junta took over. It didn’t matter whether they were born there, had Burmese wives etc. I said with 100% conviction that would never happen in the United States. Little did I know that the party of Lincoln would nominate a known bigot and an openly racist person for the Presidency.

    @amk: Sadly, I think it will be higher. 44% at least.

    Think of it this way: You’ve got 27% at least locked in solid. How many more loyal Republicans will toe the line? Enough to put him over 40% at least.

    I wish it were not so, but, alas.

    So Donald will be left to his own devices while in Ireland? What’s the over/under on him making some vulgar “Irish joke” – probably featuring some reference to pigs, potatoes and/or whiskey – in public while he’s there? Maybe that’s why Mr. Kenny didn’t want to meet him…

    Watching The Switch with Jason Bateman and Jen Aniston.

    Love this movie. If you like Jeff Goldblum, I LOVE HIM, you’ll love him in this movie…even though he barely has like what, a lil less than 30min of screen time, but it is golden Goldblum, IMHO.

    Look, all Donald Trump did was complain that a white man would ever be subject to judgement from a Mexican in authority, and that wasn’t good enough for David Duke? No? He has to add the Elders of the Protocols of Zion to the mix? Why not just let Trump keep it simple?

    Yeah, along with a fuckton of other establishments. Must be a hairstyle thing, David. Or maybe that the dumpster fire is a shitty human being akin to yourself?

    Now get those fundraising emails out, and be quick about it, these cons don’t run themselves! And somebody pick up my hood from the dry cleaners.

    J.K. Simmons is jacked in viral training photo http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/08/jk-simmons-jacked via @EW

    Today in viral content: a photo of J.K. Simmons getting super jacked for his role in Justice League.

    Posted five days ago by Aaron Williamson, a former Marine and personal trainer to such stars as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron, the picture shows Simmons lifting a pair of dumbbells in the gym.

    “Every time we train together I forget he’s 61 years old. So much respect for this guy,” Williamson wrote on Instagram, using the hashtags #JKSimmons and #OldManCranking.

    Simmons is set to play Commissioner Gordon in Justice League, which is filming now and out on Nov. 17, 2017. Check out photos of Simmons’ ridiculous guns..

    And if he shows up here. I’ll rip his fucking face off.

    You are not permitted to do that until you make him consume one box of matzoh and two jars of gefilte fish, then he can be made faceless.

    Adam L Silverman

    @redshirt: He doesn’t. Simmons arms aren’t that large. Based on the pic he’s got his body fat down to around 6% or so. If you look at what he was lifting, those are 20 lbs dumbbells. I warm up with 40s for biceps curls and while I haven’t tried to max out lately, (because I’ve been on all TRX for almost a year) I can do 60s without much issue.

    @Jay C: Friends of mine were in Ireland last month. Everywhere they went people were seeking reassurance that Trump couldn’t really be elected. Same when my granddaughter & I were in France in March. (She was wearing her Bernie pins, so people asked.)

    @redshirt: I was wondering the same thing…I’m not much of a Justice Leaguer though, so really outside of looking forward to Jason Mamoa…I didn’t even realize Gordon was in the film?

    @lamh36: As I wrote in 91 above:

    As for being in the movie: its a small part. I expect he’ll reprise with more screen time in the stand alone Batman movie and most likely the stand alone Harley Quinn movie too.

    @lamh36: I find it sad he is. It was just 4 years ago we saw the best Commissioner Gordon ever.

    DC/Warner Bros is going run DC film properties into the ground over some fast bucks.

    @chopper: After the most recent reboot of the comics, Gordon is an ex-marine who replaced Batman after everyone thought he’d died fighting the Joker (spoilers: not actually dead). That version of Gordon probably has 6% body fat. (Of course he’s also only 40-something, so …)

  104. 104.

    Adam L Silverman

    @NonyNony: He’d been an ex-Soldier or Marine for a while even before the reboot. Miller got that into canon with Batman: Year One.

    @Adam L Silverman:

    so simmons got ripped in order to play commissioner gordon because gordon is supposed to be ripped because simmons is playing him. makes sense.

    Adam L Silverman

    @NonyNony: It wasn’t clear. He estimated, from his unspecified military experience, that the blonde crooked cop he was paired with had Special Forces training, but it was never clear if he was a Soldier or a Marine.
