Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In after Baud. Damn.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

People are weird.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

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

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Adam will no doubt keep explaining these spy-vs-spy shenanigans far more cogently, but I couldn’t resist the chance to re-up the last video clip here…

… The Times reported that the meeting was called to discuss a peace plan being pushed by a Ukrainian lawmaker, Andrey Artemenko, who is associated with a former Ukrainian leader backed by Russian president Vladimir Putin and advised by Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman.

Manafort is the subject of an FBI inquiry over his Ukraine dealings, and the FBI is also investigating whether any Trump associates colluded with the Russian campaign to interfere in the U.S. presidential election.

In an interview with NBC News Monday, Michael Cohen confirmed that Felix Sater, a former Trump associate with a criminal past, asked him to come to a meeting in New York last month, and brought along Artemenko.

“I acknowledge that the brief meeting took place, but emphatically deny discussing this topic or delivering any documents to the White House and/or General Flynn,” Cohen said. “I didn’t see Gen. Flynn while I was at the White House, and I didn’t spend two seconds talking about this, not even one second.”

The Times told NBC News that it stood by its story, saying Cohen told the newspaper he did take a sealed envelope to Flynn’s office….

NICE JOB, REPUBLICANS!

    So I got this cool travel pillow from Amazon called the J-Pillow. It seems quite comfy, but it looks like you’re being attacked by one of the facehuggers from “Aliens” while you’re using it.

    When you’re not using it, it looks like a peni$.

    Seriously comfy, tho.

    Also, my Kindle book was really good. New Lisa Kleypas. That’s what I was doing all evening instead of hanging out with you jackals.

    Kellyanne Conway is “brilliant.” — M. Cohen

    Says who?

    What she does best is lie, but her lies are so transparent that it wouldn’t make any sense to call her a brilliant liar. I’m trying to figure out what about Conway could be considered “brilliant.” Not her eye makeup.

    By the way, has anyone heard from Conway recently. For awhile there she was highly visible, but since Morning Joe and Mika dissed her I haven’t seen or heard from her. The world is a better place without Kellyanne Conway.

    @Villago Delenda Est:

    At the risk of getting Omnes all upset, Trump and all his minions are traitors.

    Picking at this open sore a bit further, can you be a traitor without committing treason?

    If you use the broader definition of “a person who betrays their own country”, then, yes, they’re all traitors if this stuff is true. Whether they committed legal treason is a different matter, but other forms of treasonous acts are covered by other statutes, such as the Logan Act, the Espionage Act and the Foreign Agent Registration Act. Conspiring to violate these acts, and obstructing investigations , and lying to investigators are also crimes. In short, even without technically committing “treason”, these guys can be guilty of a bucket load of treasonous acts.

    @Millard Filmore: Not to (uh) pick at that sore, but it’s kinda fun, so … here goes.

    (1) sort of definitionally, a traitor commits treason.

    But (2) then what is treason? Well, there’s the legal definition. And in the US, that definition comes from the Constitution. O^2 is completely right about that.

    Does that change anything? It didn’t for the Rs, and they made great hay out of charging Hillary and other Dems with treason over and over and over. Made for great TV. And a commonsense definition that most laymen would accept, certainly includes what these Mstryoskha Dolts are up to, eh? But I’ll go further than “it’s a good way to explain it to people”. I claim, most people (and Omnes too) understand the difference between what is chargeable, and what really happened.

    No, it’s not chargeable as treason. But it’s treason.

    Wasn’t he the guy who supposedly met with the Russians in Prague during the campaign and trump tried to prove it was not so by taking a photo of his passport cover?

    So what Trump means by “Obama was weak on Russia about Crimea” means is Obama didn’t take a cash payoff from Russia?
