Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Even by ‘narcissist who’s never been told no’ standards, this is… special. Last time a Republican president started saying stuff like this in public, he was suffering from encroaching Alzheimer’s (And, yes, I do remember Dubya’s losing battle with the English language, but I don’t remember him telling a reporter that he certainly hoped no judge would get their hands on the contents of Cheney’s man-sized safe.)

Of course, there’s a core of Trumplodytes who’ll be with him to the bitter end…

    Not booze, but there are drugs which could explain some of his paranoia and insanity.

    LSD and PCP come to mind.

    New York is The City That Never Sleeps. This is a greeting from The City Of Irascible Old Men Who Fall Asleep At 9:30 And Wake Up at 2:30 And Can’t Get Back To Sleep (one reason why they are Irascible)

    If you have any advice for us in this predicament…

    This doesn’t look like LSD to me. At all. Uh .. a friend told me what LSD was like.
    Yeah. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

    Hmm. OTOH, The Donald does rather resemble a President drawn by S. Clay Wilson.

    He’s taken Propecia:

    “Users report that its side effects — inability to orgasm, painful erections, chronic depression, insomnia, brain fog, and suicidal thoughts — can last long after patients stop taking the pill.”

    Less serious Propecia side effects may include:
    impotence, loss of interest in sex, or trouble having an orgasm; abnormal ejaculation; swelling in your hands or feet; swelling or tenderness in your breasts; dizziness, weakness; feeling like you might pass out; headache; runny nose; or skin rash.

    The runny nose part may explain the sniffing heard on the interview recording.

    @Steeplejack: No sheet. I got permanent tinnitus from a few months on a starter/sampler antidepressant. (Lexapro, if anyone would like to avoid it.) Didn’t make me any less depressed, either.

    Remember the sniffling in his debates with HRC? Carrie Fisher, may she rest in peace, confidently diagnosed him as a coke addict at the time.

    @Steeplejack: The Don’s doctor also takes Propecia:

    Dr. Bornstein said he also took finasteride and credited it for helping maintain his own shoulder-length hair and Mr. Trump’s hair. “He has all his hair,” Dr. Bornstein said. “I have all my hair.”

    Have you seen Bornstein? He has all his hair in the same way a beach at low tide has all its water.

    Yesterday was one of those days that I would visit websites like “Powerline”, “Redstate”, “The Blaze”, “Gateway Pundit”, and such to just read the comments section. Just to read what the pulse is of the so-called conservatives, at least in hopes those were not bots and Russian agents posting on those sites. First take, it is still surprising to how adamant these folks are to brush stuff aside — Trump is good, media and all who oppose Trump are bad. Second, the relativism in peoples arguments to which they defend Trump and the Republican party. Third, a continuation of two, on how Obama and Democratic party have done so much worse in eight-years and WILL DO, but had this many stories had been published against Obama, they would have been the first to raise their pitchforks and torches.

    Yesterday’s stories were Dana R., the California congressman, being the Russian stooge in Congress (with ties to the same lawyer that Fredo Trump had met at Trump Tower); as well as the NYT story where Trump “warns” the special prosecutor that the investigation should be limited to only the collusion with Russia allegations — which stories are sprouting on how the Trump family seem to have been party of money-laundering for the Russians (which Josh Marshall first speculated back in July 2016 was happening).

    Never mind the flags: what’s really interesting is that moron seems to be saying, indirectly, is that he’d collaborate with Obama (a “foreigner”) against Trump (a traitor/Benedict Arnold). One would hope that others would point that out to him, on Twitter.

    Nice to see that at least one fellater of Preznit* Lying Littledick is starting to come around.

    PS: Of course, if people actually DID point that out to him, his head be a-splodin’. Win-win-win!

    Oh my, Trump threw Sessions under the bus…

    President Trump said on Wednesday that he never would have appointed Attorney General Jeff Sessions had he known Mr. Sessions would recuse himself from overseeing the Russia investigation that has dogged his presidency, calling the decision “very unfair to the president.”

    Amazing, evil people can’t trust other evil people these days. tsk tsk

    wrt that last tweet, clearly Trump (& Republicans) are on the Benedict Arnold side on this one though. It’s food for thought. If only it was a last meal food for thought thing for them. Ah well, we’ll always have Lafayette.

    You know why I’ sure Trump isn’t a cokehead? He never accused Clinton of using cocaine.

    Seriously, think about it. He accused her of being corrupt and unhealthy. He accused Obama of undermining our relationships with our allies and showing weakness to our adversaries. He accused Alicia Machado of having a sex tape. He accused Jeb Bush of being low-energy. The man has nothing except projection. So if he’s not accusing people of coke use, he’s almost certainly not using himself.

    Why look for explanations other than that the man is a moron. He’s barely literate, has never had anyone say no to him and has always been rewarded for bad behavior. Combine this with an oversize ego and you get a horrible human being. No drugs needed.

    @BubbaDave: Amen. Consider the moniker of “Lyin’ Hillary” when T himself was and is the absolute liar in chief, and all the shade on the Clinton Foundation when in actuality we saw the reporting about the shenanigans of his own Trump Foundation. It has totally got to the point that any time he accuses anyone of anything, I automatically assume it’s because he’s doing it himself.
    Gotta wonder about the whole “rigged voting” allegations.
