Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

This fight is for everything.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I was promised a recession.

    I laughed at that last tweet:
    ” Please note that this is the second time a candy has distanced itself from the Trump campaign in three weeks ”

    Big Candy is out to get Trump. Maybe he can whine about that and distract attention from his thuggery.
    If M&Ms drops an elbow on Trump, will be obvious the whole election is rigged and unfair.

    its pretty fucking amazing… all of these people want to burn down these institutions because they’re ineffective without ever fucking noticing that the reason that they are ineffective is because its the GOP that is making them be ineffective.

    Getting some breezes of “Trump is bad but Clinton is worse” from the Orcosphere via my Facebook page; should reach Category 1 by morning and threaten low-lying Fox reporters by noon. Pile up the sandbags.

    A GOTV drive came by my apartment complex today. I’m disabled and moved recently so this was perfect for me to update my registration and get set up for vote by mail.

    I’m thinking of breaking some bottles outside my front door so I can say I crawled over broken class to vote Dem in November. And I’m not really a big HRC fan, but the choice is obvious.
    I’ll calm down though and come to my senses.

    If the sexual battery brag tape hadn’t come out, I wonder how much press Trump’s hideous and heinous statement on the Central Park 5 would have gotten. I think that is just as bad. What a vile candidate. I just want this shitshow of an election to be over with big Dem win.

    @BillinGlendaleCA: I know Bill, it’s a mystery ain’t it?.. you know, it’s almost like denying money for security updates for diplomatic staff and when shit goes down, things fall apart… can’t quite put my finger on why this kind of stuff would be key to understanding how things work.

    That scene outside Trump Tower reminds me of the climax of Ghostbusters, very New York kind of moment.

    Keep cheering him on, knuckle-knobs. I bet they’re all set up with candles in a vigil, like Jack Black and his buddies at the end of Bob Roberts.

    I think what Trump needs to do now is stage a highly visible “born again Christian” event in which he accepts Jesus as his personal savior and in return gets complete forgiveness for his past sins. Boom! The slate is wiped clean.

    @BillinGlendaleCA: Probably my only chance to be a mega-donor in this life. I wasn’t going to pass it up. A couple of 27 buck contributions would do it for Sanders. Stale beer you had out in the garage or dirty pennies got you into exclusive cheeto parties out back of the 7/11 with Baud! 2016!, Got to one-on-ones with the candidate, if you could wake him up.

    @piratedan: Thanks, I’ll read the links.
    Edit: I think Trump yammering about global warming being a hoax by the Chinese was the most coverage that climate change got in a long time.
    Edit2: Besides the hate mongering, Trump’s ignorance and stupidity is a danger to the country. Grown adults on TV and radio were talking about his most idiotic BS like there was a snowball’s chance in hell it was serious or could be true. Danger to national mental health.

    @jl: maybe now that Trump is out as being in favor or executing obviously innocent people and assaulting women, the media won’t have to pretend (giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are pretending) to take his ignorant and stupid crap seriously.

    For a while I was worried that if Trump was called on his financial or economic illiteracy, he would go ‘Well many people are saying that in this case, your 1 and your 1 is 3. I have some top people in numbers looking into it. We have to look into it and find out what is going on with the numbers. I think the numbers are rigged. A lot of my supporters had trouble with numbers in school, and many people wonder if it was all rigged. You’ll never get great deals with loser arithmetic that doesn’t let you come out ahead. But the dummies ruining our country don’t know that.”

    What would the corporate media do with that?

    “Chris Matthews here. Does 1 and 1 equal 3? Some say it does, some say it doesn’t. Do we have to know how to add? I knew a lot of great hard working, real salt-of-earth real American Irish when I was growing up my working class Irish neighborhood, you know the Irish! and I can’t say they knew how to add. Join me with some top Democratic and Republican strategists discussing if math is rigged against the little guy, COMING UP NEXT WHEN WE PLAY HARDBALL!”

    When ALIEN first came out, an acquaintance got together with some F/X friends and restaged it during dinner rush at the largest dining facility of our midwestern state university.

    He’s since gone on to become a very successful data executive, but I still don’t trust him when there’s potential for a really gross practical joke to hand…

    @Major Major Major Major: In camera raw: increase whites and decrease blacks to bring out a greater color range, set white balance to daylight and then warmed the temp a bit, took vibrance up to about 24(it didn’t need much) and reduced clarity. I reduced the exposure in the foreground to darken it(almost black). It was all done in Adobe Camera Raw.

    I guess my dreams of selling pics taken in LA have been dashed by ‘da man’. Turns out that you need permits to take pictures for sale of city owned property or on property controlled by the city(streets or sidewalks). Another small business crushed, sigh.

    @Major Major Major Major: It’s all about dynamic range. Both film and digital have limited ranges (roughly 6 stops, though digital can be wider these days, and/or you can take multiple exposures—both film and digital—and easily compose them if you use a tripod), vs eyeballs, which (due to complex chemistry), offer roughly 12 stops of range.

    Sunsets easily take up 4 to all 6 stops worth of range so you must choose the right exposure (aperture and time) if you’re going to use just one exposure. In addition, if you’re using digital, you need to make sure your camera software does not attempt to adjust the results. If you can save raw data, rather than in-camera white-balanced, you can proceed from there.

    @MikefromArlington: naw, lineage goes farther back, they’ve been courting the crazy for decades. Dressed up in respectable suits, nice haircuts and polite language doesn’t change the content or purpose of their policies. Palin was the relative from the other side of the tracks, she shares the beliefs but lacks the polish.

    And beneath the rhetoric, what the majority of gop has in common is a basic desire to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone and everything. It’s been a very long time since that party worked toward or believed in actually helping make things better for everyone.

    I saw a reply to one of Rick Tyler’s tweets that said that if Trump was kicked out they weren’t going to show up and vote for down ballot. It’s like they’re screwed if they keep him and they’re screwed if they kick his ass out. Could not have happened to a more worthy party.

    Also too I am kind of worried how well this is going for Hilz. Things never go this well for Dems.

    “Our politics is tribal and polarized. So it’s not like this swings the thing 10 points.”

    Did that Virginia Republican just state that Republican voters simply don’t care about facts, or about the identity of the person they’re voting for, as long as there’s an (R) after the name?

    @Sm*t Cl*de: Not explicitly perhaps, but this election cycle has proven conclusively that the GOP could run a mannequin stuffed with dog shit as their candidate and the mindless lemmings who slavishly watch FoxNews would go along happily….

    @Zinsky: That puts a new spin on the “yellow dog Democrat” phrase – a yellow dog Democrat is so partisan s/he would vote for the Democrat even it’s a yellow dog (although, at this point, I think a lot of people would be ready to try something new and support our canine overlords), but a “mannequin stuffed with dog shit” Republican is so batshit insane that s/he will support a mannequin stuffed with dog shit over a Democrat.

    That seems about right…

    @BillinGlendaleCA:

    The wonderful thing about digital cameras, you can shoot everything, and delete the one’s that don’t have that snap you want. That certain look. We took a two week trip to Europe, visiting caves with ancient paintings, museums, cathedrals, Medieval churches, I shot over 800 shots. Then I selected less than 200 to process into a file for the trip.

    Used to be, every press of the shutter cost something. Now there’s no added fee per photo, other than time selecting the better pictures and processing them. I used to shoot, develop slides, print photos, mount them, everything. Fumes, chemicals, paper, trays and reels, enlarger. I just shit-canned all that equipment once I went digital. You can only keep so much old obsolete stuff.

    Social conservative GOP strategist told me support for Trump has convinced him it’s time to “burn down” all these institutions & start over.

    Nothing says durp conservatard than “burn it all down”. Start a revolution and see how that turns out buddy.
