Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

I was promised a recession.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

A consequence of cucumbers

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

“Squeaker” McCarthy

The words do not have to be perfect.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Next day:

You know that old folk curse, “May you live in interesting times?”

* schrodingers_cat: The movie has been panned by critics but I love its title track, especially the panchakshara* stotra, the female voice in Sanskrit interspersed with a rapid fire, rap-like (in Hindi) description of Shiva.
Panchakshara == 5 letters (na ma shi va) nam = name shiva

    @Manyakitty:

    I think it’s more that he’s become afraid that the Trumpistas are going to destroy us out of sheer incompetence and ignorance instead of malice.

    That scares me, too. At least if it was malice, it would mean someone had a plan.

    @BGinCHI: the NPR dink whose name escapes me on the morning show asked Tim Kaine today if Republican X (Cruz?) didn’t have a point in saying that it’s a dangerous world, and it’s not a good idea to postpone these national security appointments? Tone and phrasing were incredibly tendentious. I think Tillerson and Mattis are the ones being the most cooperative with the ethics people, but Cruz (if it was him) was including Sessions as part of “national security”

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist: I believe that was Steve Inskeep, and you are right that he was really pushing the Nice Polite Republicans line of questioning. To their credit, however, NPR has actually been bringing some Democrats on to discuss politics, lately–we haven’t heard much of that from them in at least a decade.

    @Mnemosyne: Okay, that’s what I thought, but I wasn’t sure. I get the impression Eichenwald is going to continue doing his reporting.

    @NotMax: It does, I read it, low budget film with no name actors. Not that there is anything wrong with it. My renewed interest in Hindi/Indian movies is less than a year old. So I totally missed many of the movies of the mid nineties to mid teens.

    @Mnemosyne:

    I don’t think pointing to incompetence (and I read it as the incompetence of the transition team) is a sign of weakening resolve. Does it really matter whether they’re hiding stuff intentionally or through incompetence? Either way, they’re not sharing like they should.
