Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Let there be snark.
Let’s not be the monsters we hate.
I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.
Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!
The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.
Their freedom requires your slavery.
If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.
President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.
Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”
The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.
How stupid are these people?
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?
We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.
The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.
An almost top 10,000 blog!
Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.
If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.
This blog will pay for itself.
Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: They’re really amping up the meanness now. I’m not complaining…good to see the gloves coming off (I LOLed on the Kellyanne Conway dead-soul-and-hair line)

Adam, that video you posted is nothing compared to this vid. A guy made a portable Tesla gun that shoots three foot lightning bolts you can actually touch. Then they recorded it at 28,000 FPS.

I got to take a trip in my friend’s Tesla last year. Sweet ride, and we even had a super-charger or two on the trip.
Electricity is in my veins, yo. My dad was an electrician, and I sure shocked him! Also, our son built his own Tesla coil for an art project in college. Plasma is purty.
