Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

He really is that stupid.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Let there be snark.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

This really is a full service blog.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

It must be the woman in you that brings out the man in me

This is great:

More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spicer’s portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president’s eyes, according to sources close to him. And the unflattering send-up by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spicer’s longevity in the grueling, high-profile job, where he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the “opposition party,” and developing a functional relationship with the press.

“Trump doesn’t like his people to look weak,” added a top Trump donor.

Trump’s uncharacteristic Twitter silence over the weekend about the “Saturday Night Live” sketch was seen internally as a sign of how uncomfortable it made the White House feel. Sources said the caricature of Spicer by McCarthy struck a nerve and was upsetting to the press secretary and to his allies, who immediately saw how damaging it could be in Trumpworld.

Ha ha, you fucking Low T neo-Nazis.

    I remember when Linda Tripp said she enjoyed John Goodman’s portrayal of her, even though she thought it went a little too far. Goodman showed up the next Saturday and turned it up a couple of notches. I wonder if McCarthy could turn up that Spicer at all, but I’d bet that she’ll be back.

    @lamh36: I call for a Trump off!

    And in this case, the top person is cast member Kate McKinnon, now in her sixth season. The recent Emmy winner elevated the character of Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign and has emerged as one of SNL’s most compelling talents. She is a seriously outlandish comedian who is perfectly positioned to take on the season’s most important role: Donald Trump.

    Before they brought Baldwin, Darrell Hammond played Trump in IIRC a sketch about the GOP debates. Standing perfectly still, he imitated Trump’s posture and sneer so perfectly I quite literally laughed out loud.

    The GOP will trudge ahead. They are nuts, murderous nuts.

    rump’s Obamacare replacement may come long after Congress pulls the plug on it
    Ethan Wolff-Mann

    ” While Trump may now be on the side of slower, more deliberate legislation (probably not by choice), Speaker Paul Ryan has said Congress is still poised to go ahead with the reconciliation bill that will defund the ACA, sending Obamacare into a death spiral, as the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Larry Levitt and others have noted. ”

    ..
    [ Even Tom ‘The Roseville Racer’ McClintock can figure out this is a bad idea: ]

    “We’d better be sure that we’re prepared to live with the market we’ve created,” said Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA.). “That’s going to be called Trumpcare. Republicans will own that lock, stock and barrel, and we’ll be judged in the election less than two years away.”

    Nothing scares incumbents in DC as much as losing primaries and/or general elections. Some of the RWNJs are smart enough to recognize a real threat when it’s screaming in their faces. Apparently nobody in Janesville Wisconsin gives a shit. but one of the things that was scariest in ’93 was when Tom Foley, the speaker of the house, lost his bid for re-election, on top of the Newtniks taking over the house.

    I am actually a bit concerned by this. This White House is full of whiny, spoiled children with thin skins who don’t understand what a lie is. And that doesn’t reflect well on Trump’s judgment. But having actual power in the hands of someone who’s as ignorant, easily led and deeply prejudiced as Donald is…the vulnerabilities are staggering to contemplate.

    @PhoenixRising: The video was truly a thing of beauty as Tom McClintock was called to task by both Dems and Reps -but mostly Dems and was not up to the task.
    He’s odious and insolent unless your a donor.
    Like Brave Sir Robin, he ran, he ran so far away. The video shows a beady-eyed rodent scuttling behind a police officer making for the exits. Poor rodent faced a larger crowd who couldn’t get inside.
    McClintock’s whole reason for being is to privatize everything. Everything. Can’t eliminate the Commons fast enough, yet does not care to be called out and to account on it.
