Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

I was promised a recession.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

Infrastructure week. at last.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

    Most of the pundits commenting on Trump’s tape are missing the most disqualifying part of the tapes — the admission that Trump will try to ‘get away with’ whatever his power enables. Our society largely relies on people doing the right thing even if they can get away with wrongdoing, especially among the powerful. Donald Trump has no scruples whatsoever, no shame, and will do whatever his power lets him get away with. Giving him presidential power is extraordinarily dangerous.

    @Amir Khalid: I was looking at the photo hoping to come up with a clever response to your funny comment, and then I noticed the license plate, which I had missed before: PSY*WGN. hahahahaha

    Good one, Betty Cracker! I assume you made that lovely image of the wagon just for us? Love the license plate.

    Nice thing about my two “local” teams, the Deplorables and the Ravens, playing each other is that I get a halfway decent game on the other channel: Jets vs. Steelers (in their throwback bumblebee uniforms).

    That sounds like a nice place and I may want to move there some day. Which country are you in?

    Don’t know how combative the debate will get tonight, but all the talking heads, whether on CNN or MSNBC, looked like they were ready to start punching each other. Guess the strain is starting to show.

    If anything’s Photoshopped, it’s Trump’s face in the window. The logo’s also along the back of the side of the truck.

    The photo is from Kill Bill Vol. 1. It’s the vehicle Kiddo uses to escape from the hospital. Perfect for a color comment on current Trumpian times!

    My ‘Hawks have the week off, and the only other team I’m even vaguely interested in watching are the Falcons, and that only because Seattle’s former defensive coach, Dan Quinn, was hired as Atlanta’s new head coach. (That means I wish them the best unless they’re playing Seattle. Which they do, next week. Which should be awfully interesting!)

    ETA: Gloating is bad and I should be ashamed, but it’s been so many years since the Vikes have been this good. I have to enjoy while I can before they fall apart and crush all my hopes and dreams. Again.

    @CaseyL: Tarentino once said in an interview that he kept that truck and actually drives it on occasion. The internet being what it is, people checked google earth for recent images of his house, and yes, it was parked in his driveway.

    Hard to believe that Wyoming would issue that plate. Not impossible, just hard to believe.

    @Ruckus: isn’t that Texas? I’d chalk it up to a clerk who either didn’t get it, or did (“heh, heh… Hey, Beavis, look at this…”)

    @Mike J: I’m surprised he lets the public know where he lives, to look him up on Google Earth! Wonder how many hopefuls leave screenplays on his doorstep overnight.

    Isn’t Tom Brady a Trump supporter?

    Someone should ask him for comment on TapeGate…i mean wouldn’t it scene be their duty to do so?

    @raven: That’s right Go Washington Huskies!!! Oh you didn’t mean that. Anyhoo I have that movie at home and I love that scene when The Bride confronts the two sexual predators, especially the one who owns that truck.

    My cousin-in-law mentioned that the Browns uniforms remind her of Dunkin Donuts’ colors & now I can’t unthink it.

    Sorry (not sorry) ??? (Why yes I’m feeling particularly ornery & evil today, been watching the car crashes all weekend).

    I saw an ad for the movie Hacksaw Ridge, I wonder if that is about Desmond Doss, the only acknowledged Conscience Objector to receive an Medal Of Honor. That is a story that needed to be told. The Documentary on him was good.

    @debit: I have always said that if you’re a A student you don’t get to brag about getting an A on your test, but if you don’t normally do that well and you get an A, you get complete bragging rights, and no one should think less of you. I think that applies here, too.

    ArchTeryx

    @WaterGirl: Real enough. As pointed out above it was a prop from Kill Bill Vol. 1, and Tarantino kept the truck afterward. Even drives it around on occasion, presumably just for the yucks.

    Not to mention Trump peering out the back window.
