Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

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

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

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

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Let’s go Pens

The Penguins got lucky on Monday night. They looked like crap except for a ten minute flurry in the first period which gave them enough of a cushion to survive playing lazy defense against a team that was jumping on the counter-attack.

So now that they stole a game that they really should not win, let’s see cheer them on tonight as they try to reduce their magic number to two.

    @JPL: I lived closer than John to PPG Arena for 18 years so this was my own free will. I have posts already scheduled for games 3&4

    Yossi cross-checks a Penguin four times in a row, finally gets called, and chips his teeth at the official on his way to the box. Maybe these guys would rather be playing one of those games at the end of Rollerball.

    @geg6: IK,R? Guys are beating the shit out of each other with their sticks right in front of the officials.

    Pens break the tie in first 10 seconds of third period. Guentzel again.

    Grew up in Pittsburgh (though first years in MA so I don’t have the distinctive, much mocked and mostly exaggerated accent). Anyway, a lifelong Pirates, Steelers and Pens fan. Hell, I was even a Pittsburgh Rens fan in the crazy Civic Arena (Rens=Renaissance as in the city’s modern motto) . Haven’t lived in the city for many years (but periodically visit) so am watching this with interest (especially since the rest of my family car Caps fans as I live in the MD suburbs of DC).

    OK now that the Pens are up two games will the commentators stop calling them the lesser team?
