Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans don’t trust women.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

This really is a full service blog.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Everybody saw this coming.

He really is that stupid.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

A consequence of cucumbers

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

    Good for Jamison Foser. I’m sick of the Douthat/Frum/Will “serious” wing of the GOP clutching their fuckin’ pearls in 2016.

    This bigoted shit has been going on for decades, and they just NOW see it? Fuck them.

    “My computer’s not working!”
    What did you change?
    “Nothing! I didn’t change anything!”
    Are you sure?
    “I never changed anything!”
    Nothing?
    “I installed this software, but that shouldn’t break it!”

    Press 1 to sigh, 2 to pound head on desk.
    Even worse when it is family tech support.

    Good news for Texans. Just saw this on TPM:

    A majority of the full U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that the heavily litigated and controversial Texas voter ID law does have the effect of discriminating against minority voters, and ordered the state to devise a remedy to that problem before the November elections.

    That Hodor Lives! twitter guy is pretty good; maybe he should start a blog somewhere.

    I have a perpetual headache from all of the bullshit emanating from anyone with an “R” affiliation.

    I am wallowing in great music today. Right now I am listening to the fabled First Night of the Proms. They opened with the Marseillaise in memory of the French attacks. First there was Tchaikovsky’s Fantasy Overture ‘Romeo and Juliet’. That will be followed by Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor (one of my favorites pieces ever), and will end with Prokofiev’s Cantata ‘Alexander Nevsky.’

    This morning it was Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis.

    Thank you, BBC Radio 3!

    Reminder (reposting from deep in the last thread): Sometime this afternoon or evening, we should get the FEC June report from the Trump campaign. We’ll get the un-obfuscated fundraising numbers, cash-on-hand, find out whether he actual did write off all those loans, etc.

    @Roger Moore:

    That seems really unfair to Rainbow Dash. What did she do to deserve this calumny?

    Obviously the convention is a Merriwether Williams episode.

    @dmsilev: I have seen the movie but never heard the cantata in a concert setting. Which reminds me, I am planning a nothing but movies during the Christmas holidays. I think that one goes to the top of the list.

    1) R campaign advisor calling for the assassination of the D candidate
    2) R candidate now known to have no interest in actually running/deciding anything or any policy decisions other than ‘Making America Great Again’
    3) members of R “deep bench” whipped up crowd with witch-hunt/Satan-follwer talk about D candidate last night and public barely notices

    meanwhile, Temple of the Dog is actually touring…just not coming to DC…

    Only a Ted Cruz ‘the hell with Trump’ mic drop tonight could make this a good day!

    @Trentrunner:
    While I agree that they’ve been willfully blind for far too long, I still welcome them finally opening their eyes. Many of the stuff we bitch about is finally becoming apparent to some on the other side, so while I say took you long enough, I still say welcome aboard. Leon Wolf of RedState is one of the newly awakened.

    @Emma: One of the best propaganda films ever made. If you’ve not seen it, _Battleship Potemkin_ is also worth hunting down.

    Adam called this:

    Trump Veterans Advisor and New Hampshire state representative Al Baldasaro would today issue a second call (see 22:22 in broadcast) for the execution of presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is hardly a surprise given that he had already called for her execution on Tuesday.

    What’s surprising is the venue on which Baldasaro made his second call for Clinton to be executed by a firing squad, for alleged treason : a white nationalist radio show that is currently broadcasting from inside the Republican National Convention.

    The Ancient Randonneur

    99% of the GOP convention has been negative hate speech directed at Hillary Clinton, and the 1% that was supposed to be a positive message about Trump as a man and a candidate was actually about Barack and Michelle Obama’s familys.

    It’s going to be a long hot summer.

    @hovercraft: Never forget these same sentiments were distributed on flyers in Texas in 1963. JFK’s picture was on the flyer. Just one time, one motherfucking time, I would like to see one of these “people” arrested for this shit. Just once goddamn it.
