Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

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

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Let me file that under fuck it.

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

No, Jill Stein, you delicate flower, you can not demand that someone give you stage time:

A federal appeals court says a lawsuit by two third-party candidates over their exclusion from presidential debates in 2012 was properly dismissed.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Tuesday that a lower court correctly dismissed a lawsuit brought by Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

The candidates alleged they were improperly excluded from the televised debates between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Johnson and Stein were excluded from the debates because polls showed them with less than 15 percent support.

And in all seriousness, you should thank the commission for not giving you a microphone, because all you would have said was stupid shit like this:

But her contempt has a more cutting quality when she talks about Clinton. She mocks Trump as braying menace; Stein thinks he’s, at heart, a bumbler who will be neutered by his own party after being elected. But it’s Clinton who poses the greater threat, in Stein’s estimation, because she knows how to move the levers of Washington. “Donald Trump, I think, will have a lot of trouble moving things through Congress,” Stein explains. “Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, won’t… Hillary has the potential to do a whole lot more damage, get us into more wars, faster to pass her fracking disastrous climate program, much more easily than Donald Trump could do his.”

Now fuck off with your fur coat and white privilege and your trust fund to Lexington where you can live out your days in irrelevance.

    The only political office Stein’s ever been in is a fucking selectman in small town Massachusetts. Not even state office! She’s an idiot and the US Greens are a disgrace to other Green parties for nominating this idiot twice (thrice?) in a row for President. And when was that selfie taken? I’d like to see Stein’s tax returns.

    Although Stein is somewhat correct about the relative competence levels of Clinton and Trump, her moral compass points straight down when assessing the effects they would have on the American people.

    It’s almost as though she views competence as a bad thing.

    You forgot Mother of Dragons.

    NWS:

    Preliminary data from at least one Texas rain gauge appears to have broken the Texas tropical cyclone rainfall record and a new contiguous United States tropical cyclone rainfall record may have also been established. Cedar Bayou, near Mont Belvieu, Texas, recorded a preliminary rainfall associated with Tropical Storm Harvey of 51.88 inches as of 3:29 pm CDT (rainfall accumulation since 7 am CDT, Friday, Aug. 25, 2017). This reading is higher than the previous record for Texas of 48 inches during tropical cyclone Amelia of 1978 in Medina, Texas.

    The all-time United States tropical cyclone rainfall record of at least 52 inches occurred during tropical cyclone Hiki in Kauai, Hawaii in 1950. It is certainly still possible rainfall from Tropical Storm Harvey may exceed the all-time United States record but no official rain gauge has reported a value in excess of 52 inches as of 5 pm EDT

    Stein isn’t a crazy lady; she’s a ratfucker. She’s taken plenty of Russian money, which makes her at very best a stooge, and far more likely a knowing Russian asset. I don’t think she’s going to get paid off as handsomely as Trump, but she’s definitely helped her buddy Vlad enough to deserve a big reward.

    Hillary was a warmonger! She would have obviously increased bombing in Syria and Iraq, and threatened, uh, war with, uh North Korea, and would have tried to end the something deal with some country….where was I?

    Oh right. Hillary said “super predators” once a generation ago. Pardoning Joe Arpaio is no worse.

    Well she isn’t competent at anything which is why she’s pissed at HRC. HRC is a million times more competent, even just as a human being, let alone at accomplishing anything.

    @different-church-lady:

    It’s almost as though she views competence as a bad thing.

    Unfortunately, that was not only Ms. Stein’s opinion, but most of the media and a whole bunch of Americans too. Secretary Clinton embarrassed a large segment of the press with her ability to do many things well, including that boring governing stuff. Who wants to hear about policies and planning and organization anyway?

    I’d have to ban myself from the blog if I fully expressed the depth of my contempt for that preening, sanctimonious ratfucker, so I’ll leave it at this: may she get exactly what she deserves.

    @Betty Cracker: Well said. I just hope she goes away and doesn’t run in 2020. She’s a ridiculous human being and I hold her accountable for Trump’s win and all the mess he’s putting us through. She should have recognized how dangerous he was, dropped out of the race and then demanded that her supporters vote for Secretary Clinton to save this country. But she put her ego over the good of her country. She can go take several seats somewhere and shut the hell up.

    OT, somebody posted earlier that he was selling the oversized golf hat he was wearing at today’s bizarre roundtable photo-op. I thought it was snark

    Citizens for Ethics‏Verified account @ CREWcrew
    Twice in the last four days the White House put out official photo press releases featuring Trump in a hat his campaign is selling for $40

    today was the white one, the other day, the picture of trump sitting alone at a conference table in the red hat was the other one

    Since the topic is assholes, this thread from the judge’s clerk at the Arpaio trial is enlightening into just how much of an asshole Sheriff Joe is:

    I was the judicial clerk for the judge in the original Apraio trial. I have some thoughts on the pardon. (1/15)— Andrew Case (@AClaudeCase) August 29, 2017

    He more than deserved that conviction and the fact that he has been preemptively pardoned is a shame.

    My husband is from Europe where the Greens are a legitimate political party that actually participates in government. He really can’t understand that the US Greens* are (a) purity ponies, and (b) fakers who have no interest in actually accomplishing anything except fucking up Presidential elections.

    @jimmiraybob: Hey! I went to High School there. (So I guess by definition it sucks…). Srsly, the Chomskys? Feh! they come out to pressure the Town’s Conservation Commision against off-leash in the most popular dog-walking area–because their house backs up to it. Feet of clay, I’m afraid. If you’re against off-leash doggies (in a crowded area, lacking same) you’re no friend of mine.

    Noam Chomsky AND the CPUSA figured out that this wasn’t the year for Purity Ponyism and told people to vote for Clinton. I guess that makes then neoliberals /s.
