Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

    I have PHI v WAS or CIN at NE.
    I want both to lose the former and doubt very much CIN can win the latter. So I guess we’ll see.

    Then the afternoon listing is DAL at GB. Which I dearly want DAL to lose and think the Pack have a shot at making that happen.

    Ahem. The proper expression (and there is only one) is “Go Seahawks!”

    As for Kaepernick thing, that’s a survey marker. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

    Bullshit like what Cole just tweeted about makes my fucking blood boil. Just garbage time BS, factually inaccurate and completely misleading.

    The worst thing about the Rams moving back to Los Angeles is that now they have to show the Rams game in Los Angeles.

    Is it time to call out the Raiders Las Vegas shakedown, and how it may come to your town soon too?

    Hey Betty, hows the injury?

    Loved Donalds newest spew of tweets.

    Donald Trump on Sunday ripped Alec Baldwin’s impression of the Republican presidential nominee on “Saturday Night Live” and called for the show to be canceled.

    So after he’s President, right after he throws Hillary in jail, his next executive action will be canceling a tv show that made fun of him. Priorities!

    @Shell: I thought his top priority was gutting centuries of slander and libel laws to make it so that if he files a libel or slander lawsuit, you go right past the entire boring, unnecessary “court of law” part and straight to the “send money to Donald from your barracks in the KZ” part.

    What is this thing called NFL Open Thread? Is it some new tradition of which I should be aware?

    @J.:

    It’s like the ’70s all over again.

    Lions just made a nice 4th down stop on Todd Gurley at the goal line as time ran out in the second half.

    @redshirt: there was a recent announcement that the LV deal was approved by Nevada or something, and just waiting for NFL owner approval.

    @redshirt:

    It’s a popular way to convince voters. Don’t worry, it’s just hotels and rental car users that will pay the tax. In Vegas, it will work as people will always visit Vegas.

    In Houston, the increases are one of the factors in the city’s convention business dropping. Oddly enough, one of the answers the city came up with was to invest public funds in a Hilton next to the convention center.

    Hasn’t helped. Then again, being smack dab between San Antonio and New Orleans hasn’t helped either.

    @MobiusKlein: It’s actually worse than that.

    It’s taxing people who likely could care less for the team being they are from out of town. If taxes must be raised, why not a tax on game tickets? Parking? Concessions?

    @Villago Delenda Est: Obviously you have!

    Obviously I’d prefer the owners pony up for their own stadium but we all know that’s not going to happen.

    Still, unlike the Olympics one can’t deny the economic impact an NFL franchise brings to a city, especially if they can snag a super bowl every now and then.

    @MobiusKlein: I gave up trying to remember where the Raiders or the Rams played 15 years ago. Because sometimes too often by the time I remembered, it was wrong.

    @redshirt: I’m not sure I’d say fair. $750 million has to be a record for public funding of a stadium. Over $150 million more than Atlanta coughed up.

    Totally OT: I just posted to Wonkette about that, the Juiceitariat deserves equal time: I’ll probably be offline for the rest of the day. My mom is in the hospital, and things are not looking good. So please send a portion of your good vibes her way.

    You either support ‘Murica or git out!

    The only valid amendment is the 2nd, the first is only for me & thee, if you agree with me.

    My prediction is that the MN Vikings will continue to be the only unbeaten NFL team this week. That is as sure a thing as the fact that they will blow a playoff game

    @Betty Cracker:

    Every one can root for whoever they want to root for in any sporting event.

    There are nut jobs in every community in the US. Maybe someone should have sent a photo of the group kneeling outside of New Era field (formerly Ralph Wilson Stadium) in support of Kaepernick as well.

    Please do not paint a broad brush against all of the Bills fans.

    @HRA: This isn’t rooting for a team, this is threatening violence against someone for their social stance on an issue that affects millions of people of color.

    Picking up my girlfriend from the airport right about the time Texans/Colts start tonight.

    Just as well, I’d rather have dinner with her than watch Osweiller throw two more picks.

    @Hal:

    The rooting for a team is separate from those vile shirts. I do not ever condone violence for any reason. I am not the only one who is of like mind here.
    Leading up to this game, there were examples being touted against Kaepernick. I spoke up against them and they were never implemented.

    I have been against the treatment of people of color since I was a child. I have never lost that feeling.
