Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Everybody saw this coming.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

When we show up, we win.

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

“… and we all thought Eric was the dumb one!”

Fred Trump’s Racehorse Theory of Superior Genes gets slapped upside the head with a dead fish, i.e., his most public grandson. (Not that his own firstborn was any bright light, but as the old saying goes: Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.)


The Bush Familia could’ve warned them — this is why you need seasoned professionals in place before you let Fredo run around unsupervised…

    Inspirational protest badass:

    60 year old historian Martin Bühler (who identified himself to the press, I do not identify activists without consent) appears to ‘photobomb’ a lot of media images of the G20 in Hamburg. In reality he is a long time observer documenting police brutality. In Hamburg he chose to cultivate the most non-activist ‘white bystander in a suit with a bike’ look he could manage and casually walked in front of police. As police slowed down or interrupted attacks and waited for the ‘bystander’ to get out of the way (being caught on camera trashing what look like bystanders is bad press after all), activists had time to regroup or retreat.

    This gives me reason to not refresh my blue hair, dye it back to something like my natural color, and not resent my professional drag come September.

    Petty nitpick: assuming “firstborn” refers to the Orange Occupant of the Oval Office, Donald was actually the fourth of Fred Trump’s five children.

    From what I have read, Fred, Jr., Fred Trump, Sr’s first born, is a tragic tale of a son, who wanted to get out from under his domineering father, and live a laid back life, and not try to expand the family’s real estate business, but could not. The pressure from his dad and family was probably the reason Fred, Jr drank himself to death at an early age.

    @gene108:

    Actually looked it up. Fred, Sr’s first born is Maryanne Trump, who is a retired Federal Appeals court judge.

    Fred’ Jr is the first born son.

    Don’s the second born son and fourth oldest (as has been pointed out).

    I am not so sure that Fred was wrong about this – the family does seem to have the brains of thoroughbred racehorses.
