Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

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

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

This really is a full service blog.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

No one could have predicted…

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

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Come on, man.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

We still have time to mess this up!

    Jesus – what is the point of going on vacation if you’re up early watching CNN?

    He can’t even vacation right.

    It would be fun to watch him watching Lawrence O’Donnell or TRMS or Joy Reid. He’d poop his britches and stroke out.

    The Mets should trade Stephen Matz for Trump. It’s a Pareto-superior move. Matz would be a better President than Trump and Trump wouldn’t be worse than Matz as a starting pitcher.

    God, an actual five-year-old would be a better president.

    Tomorrow is Samwise’s birthday, he’s going to be three! I’ll get him some bougie food and treats. I got him a new shiny purple collar recently, but I think one of my friends will be getting him a collar too. And I might get a toy from my coworkers.

    Incidentally, Samwise would also be a better president.

    A long time ago, or maybe it just feels that way, I read that the incoming White House Chief of Staff was going to ensure that the President didn’t tweet anything that was rash and/or stupid.

    Meanwhile, à propos of nothing at all, a lovely song, suitable for late-night listening, from the woefully underrated singer/songwriter Patti Scialfa.

    it would be different if this fucker was actually trying, you know, reading the position and policy papers created for him but its like he can’t be bothered because his opinion on something is as good as fact or whatever stuck from the last conversation for whatever topic is on hand.

    I can’t get away with that shit at work, nobody can, but that’s how this ignoramus rolls.

    It would almost be different if there was in fact some kind of resemblance to a core set of policies that had even a nodding acquaintance to a principle (although I guess you can call racism a principle) The only other basic tenets that appear to be in play here… is how can it make the Trump family money and paying off whatever political were-guild he owes Putin and his gang.

    @Amir Khalid:

    It’s been awfully quiet on your side of the park this offseason. Since you’re about to lose Coutinho, might weinterest you in a barely-used Ross Barkley?

    @burnspbesq:
    We might still get Virgil Dijk from Southampton. And I don’t know that we will lose Coutinho for sure. Herr Klopp hat es gesagt, dass er nicht zu verkaufen ist.

    somebody tweeted the local weather forecast. It’s supposed to rain all weekend, so the tweetrums will no doubt be rolling, especially if there’s news from Meuller on Thursday or Friday, or one of the Meuller protecting bills pass

    Also, f**k Rump for going after Blumenthal’s reserve duty. The Shitbiggon had multiple deferments. Jeebus.

    o you’ll just have straight intercourse with a rubber with them right?” Stern asked.
    “Well, I don’t know, you know there’s lots of different ways of doing it. It’s a very complicated subject. They say that more people were killed by women in this act than killed in Vietnam, OK,” Trump said.
    “Yes, that is true,” replied Stern.
    “You know, you get criticized for that statement, but that statement is very easily true,” added Trump.
    Stern responded, “I even went as far to say that you’re braver than any Vietnam vet because you’re out there screwing a lot of women.”
    “Getting the Congressional Medal of Honor, in actuality,” said Trump.
    Later in the interview Trump and Stern again compared avoiding STDs to Vietnam.
    “I’m having a good time, but Howard, you know the one negative: It’s very, very dangerous out there,” said Trump.
    “Yes it is, it’s your Vietnam,” added Stern.
    “It’s Vietnam,” added Trump. “It is very dangerous. So I’m very, very careful.”

    First time I’ve seen that in a while. Stern was just talking about sex, and trump seemingly brought Vietnam into it out of nowhere

    Here’s what made Trump freak out

    Bravo Blumenthal.

    My favorite thing ever is calling a square-bladed T-handled agricultural implement a spade.
    No weasel words.

    the Booker presidency.

    Wow. I’m surprised to see Weigel throw in the towel on Sanders. The ongoing FBI investigation must be worst than the general public is currently allowed to know.

    If Trump was a real hard-core golfer, he’d be out playing in the rain, so long as the greens remained puttable. WIMP!

    @Origuy: on Clement St. I also enjoy the Sichuan-Taiwanese Spicy Girl 辣妹子, one of the few places in the city to get stinky tofu.

    Pagan definitely gets high marks, though.

    Sigh, the Padres lost to Cinti big time. (11-3?) It was on one of the TVs at HIllcrest Brewing, and my frog-brain always has to look.

    The sportsball thing set us off on a google quest. End of story: Penguins! Go Cole! But srsly, neither of us had any idea how recent the NHL is).

    So Mr S – look, he grew up after voting for Anderson, and ever after has been a solid Dem vote, but I despair when he likes Jeff Flake for a “good interview” with the Guardian. (Sorry no link, I’ve heard enough already.)

    Srsly, the Guardian? Sigh. I’m trying to buck myself by repeating actual knowledge tested over decades: Brits are no better at US politics than we are at British politics. But fuck. Every single slimey Flake msg screamed “Bullshit for the bothsiders”.

    I can’t pry him out of optimism. Which is fine, I guess. He tells me I’m a horrible pessimist – which I call realism, but I think we need both, but fuck. Jeff Flake?

    How do I know he’s lying? His lips are moving.

    SectionH

    Ok, I srsly need to get some clear references and/or names in the mess of “him”above. It’s spouse who is optimistic. It’s a Republican who lies.

    Sorry – my stupid.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but Trump has a thing about Blumenthal because Blumenthal won his first Senate election by beating Trump’s friend, Linda McMahon, CEO of the WWE, whom he would later appoint as head of the Small Business Administration. This was in 2010, otherwise a Republican year, and the “misstatements about Vietnam” thing was more or less McMahon’s entire campaign platform. Blumenthal was in the Marine Corps reserves during the Vietnam war, but a couple of times misspoke and said that he “served in Vietnam” when he meant “served during Vietnam”. As we know, Trump’s brain can’t keep track of facts, figures, or arguments, except as they relate to injuries done to him, his family and friends. So these tweets about Blumenthal are really, and pathetically, typical.

    @Basilisc: But that requires that Trump actually cares about McMahon. Simpler proposition: did Blumenthal, in his role as AG, bring any legal actions against Trump properties?

    One of today’s morning talk shows featured the renovation of the White House, the “dump” where Trump has to live. Three million dollars in renovations. Again, imagine if the Obamas had moved in and spent three million dollars on renovating! Paint, carpet, air conditioning and much more.

    Also on the same show were the glowing numbers for the economy and the stock market boom. It’s depressing that Trump can ride Obama’s coattails and claim the credit for his successes.

    @donnah: Let’s just hope the contractors don’t get stiffed.

    Speaking of which, does anyone know about whether the “University” settlement is actually getting paid? I have not seen a single story on this since the $25m settlement was agreed on back in November. But was the settlement paid?
