Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

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

“Squeaker” McCarthy

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

No one could have predicted…

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

This blog will pay for itself.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

    One of them will Brexit. Wit Wales slightly in favor and NI slightly opposed, shouldn’t Wales be the one?

    Actually, from a lot of what I here from the UK, Wales is generally pro-EU, but Remain didn’t GOTV.

    @Troublesome Carp fka Geeno:

    Another one of Cameron’s strategic mistakes: The Welsh and the Scots warned him that the referendum date would be to close to their elections, he ignored them, turnout in Wales and Scotland was below the national average.

    @SRW1: Personally, I would like to see NI, Scotland, and Wales join in a Celtic Republic, that would teach England, especially if Ireland could be convinced to join.

    Parc des Princes is one of my favorite places to watch foorball. Too bad there isn’t any being played there today.

    This one might go to penalties too. After a scoreless draw at 120 minutes.

    @Amir Khalid:

    Maybe Bale can decide it before that with a free kick. NI is otherwise managing pretty well to keep him quiet.

    Did I see that right? Washington was used as a mule to get an energy bar to one of the NI players?

    ETA: Football now employing domestiques?

    Off course, why didn’t I think of an own goal!

    My northern Irish ancestors would be sad, bit they were jerks, reportedly.

    @xenos:
    I’m familiar with Eigentor as the standard German for “own goal”, but Eigenengol is a new one for me.

    Wales are into the quarterfinals. Despite not scoring today. ETA: Well, despite not scoring for themselves.
