Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

    Right, but can you undo a solid week of negative press/media? No, you cannot.

    The next letter needs to be his resignation. Wednesday morning, 3AM.

    Co-signed. Maybe replace the FBI with the Keystone Kops for improve professionalism.

    To the extent there are any stragglers, maybe this will help bring them out on Tuesday. And maybe depress Trump turnout just a tad.

    If we’re really lucky, Trump will go unhinged again tomorrow and put the stake into his own heart.

    Before they fire him, Dems should drag his ass before committee hearings to explain the leaks. If they win Senate of course.

    OT: This is apparently a real tweet from Philly’s mayor.

    Rudy Giuliani just told me that The Donald is fit to be commander in chief. Hahahah! ??????. Can’t make this shit up!

    So almost universal condemnation had some effect, because I expected Comey to keep this dangling until after Tuesday too.
    I hope he’s gone by Friday.

    Did you see Al Franken on CNN? He said as a member of the Judiciary Committee, he is confident there will be hearings into Comey’s role in this election and an investigation of “rogue elements” of the FBI who talked to Giuliani. He said it’s not the FBI’s role to interfere with elections and that as director, Comey should have been able to hold the agency to its mission and needs to explain the lapse. Al is on the fucking case!

    Problem is the letter will get lost in all of the ‘day before election’ news coverage.

    On a somewhat related topic there are a couple of items on Twitter that ‘Old Little hands’ staff has taken away his twitter account. Seems that can’t trust him on Twitter but not to worry the nuclear codes are in good hands (Melania’s maybe or Val;id’s?)

    Seeing the word “Honorable” before “Jason Chaffetz” in the letter is just nauseating.

    I don’t think resignation is enough, he should be fired.

    Over on KOS ‘

    Apparently, the NY FBI office has leaked over 650,000 emails from Weiner’s laptop to the House Republicans according to Rep. Steve King, who was bragging about it at a rally. Here’s Steve King in full braggadocio about being in cahoots with the FBI to interfere with the election:
    ‘So the Weiner leaks, the WikiLeaks, you name your leaks, we’ve got our hands on all of them – 650,000 emails.’
    King also suggested that the number of emails related to the FBI investigation may be larger than 650,000.

    What a bunch of degenerates. The source is the British Daily Mail so it’s validity may be open to question.

    @D58826: A tabloid and Steve King? Yeah, I call BS.

    Besides, Comey’s letter just kicked the chair out from beneath them.

    @James E Powell: Well, based on his current assignments and minority seniority:
    Judiciary subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law
    Health, Education, Labor and Pensions subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety

    @D58826: Totally believable story, but the Daily Mail is crap. I hope it’s true, to be honest, because I don’t want this REAL scandal to get swept under the rug.

    I wonder how many undecideds could even tell you what the July “conclusion” was. A lot of them probably think it was an indictment.

    FBI Dir just informed us “Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Sec Clinton”

    The FBI director seems to be under the impression his boss is a dung beetle from Utah.

    I want to see Giuliani questioned under oath and then investigated up and down til the cows come home.

    @James E Powell:

    The next letter needs to be his [Comey’s] resignation. Wednesday morning, 3AM.

    Why wait so long? This election will be over by 11:30 pm EDT Tuesday night, possibly by 10:30 pm.

    @D58826:

    So the Weiner leaks,
    the WikiLeaks,
    you name your leaks,
    we’ve got our hands
    on all of them –
    650,000 emails.

    This should be a lyric in a Broadway musical.
