Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

The willow is too close to the house.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Republicans in disarray!

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

He really is that stupid.

    Warren Zevon: Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner…

    That said, Jethro Tull is appropriate. At one point early in the year I referred to His Trumpness as Aqualung: Eyeing little girls with bad intent.

    Trump is going to tweet himself right into a mental institution.

    Even my cats can see the man is seriously delusional.

    @TriassicSands: don’t worry, the MSM will normalize all of that behavior for us and make it all seem benignly eccentric and not scary. Hell, before you know it, cops killing minorities and GOP legislatures denying black people and brown people the ability to vote will just become an everyday thing and we can return to our national slumber of “nothing to see here” and “well, that’s how it should be”.

    Hi all! I’m slowly easing my way back into the news and blogs after a few weeks of mourning (and also a holiday with my mom. Wow, NZ is an awesome country! Definitely the place to flee to if you’re an american intent on leaving the States.).

    Nothing much to report from down here except that 3 nights ago I seriously, honestly and legitimately dreamed that I was watching the news and the CIA had infiltrated Trump’s dentist’s office and offed him during routine dental surgery. I guess it’s as realistic as anything else going on right now.

    @TheMightyTrowel: that’s probably an option that’s being explored since he’s refusing security briefings from OUR intelligence agencies, but is talking to and getting information from foreign cough{{{Russian}}}cough countries on unsecured lines…

    Say what you will about Fidel Castro, at least he didn’t use a private email server.

    Put my older spawn on a plane back home tonight after a great holiday with my sibs and their in-laws. Obsessively followed every BJ post and all comments ever since 11/8. And even so, sort of managed to keep up with work.

    Time to crash, though. Maybe tomorrow will be A Shiny New Day.

    @Kristine:

    “Lawyers, Guns, and Money” is my favorite Zevon song

    Absolutely. If those three things don’t get you free, nothing will. And I just love the refrain “Dad. get me out of this!”
