Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

“They not like us!” (that’s for sure!)

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Fight them, without becoming them!

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

A consequence of cucumbers

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Let there be snark.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

This blog will pay for itself.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I am pretty sure Katy Tur wasn’t always such a bootlicking sycophant.

    O’Keefe is to veritas as the Munchkins are to basketball.

    O’Keefe is to veritas as Tommy Tune is to sumo.

    O’Keefe is to veritas as Wrong Way Corrigan is to navigation.

    I don’t understand why he has not had a long jail term for any of his antics. It seemed that he was off the hook pretty quickly in that attempt to wire tap Mary Landrieu’s office.

    And while we’re shitting our pants over O’Keefe, the worst tax bill ever moves that much closer to passage.

    C’mon, y’all.

    James O’Keefe earns more than $300,000 to fail this bigly.

    And the entire operation takes in nearly 13 million.

    I’m thinking there is some anxiety at Project Veritas tonight.

    Looking at his laundry list of cons and frauds, the only question about James O’Keefe is why isn’t he rotting in jail?

    I read something that says that this “Project Veritas” has a goal of exposing waste, fraud, and abuse.

    I know where there’s some waste and fraud they could expose without ever leaving their own offices….

    Doesn’t mean folks are complacent about any of the tax bills, more like it’s approaching the witching hour on the east coast and some fresh hash beats rehashing as a midnight snack.

    I haven’t forgotten what a creep that O’Keefe person is.
    I waste energy hating him – for the big things, and for the absurdly little things like marring the O’Keefe name. It’s not my name, it’s just the name of a fictional character (Calvin) I’ve looked up to for going on three decades. (I said “absurdly little” up there, okay?)

    Anyhow, for anyone else needing an antidote to this creep’s nasty emanations, I like reading how Ms. Corfman is responding to her critics:

    “I am not getting paid for speaking up,” Corfman said, refuting claims peddled by Moore’s own wife alleging that his accusers are in it for money. “I am not getting rewarded from your political opponents. What I am getting is stronger by refusing to blame myself and speaking the truth out loud.”

    From what I recall, it’s not clear that Corrigan actually screwed up. [No doubt one of the jackals will tell me I’m effing worng, of course.]

    Now, if you substituted Roy Riegels, then I’d agree.

    This and the defeatism/fatalism here are really tiresome.

    You’re just pissed because the Jets are favored over The Pack, and it colours your outlook.

    He will quit only when he is found guilty of something and locked up. If and when that happens, his supporters will shriek that he was railroaded on the basis of false evidence and fake news. From some of the Twitter threads I’ve read, they wouldn’t believe it if he admitted that he enjoys microwaving live kittens.

    It’s hazy now but didn’t O’Keefe film Thad Cochran’s wife in a nursing home during _that_ crazy Republican primary in order to show… something… about… something?

    @FlipYrWhig: No that was the Rage Furby. Who is still facing legal jeopardy in Mississippi. Like with his various SLAP lawsuits in California, he has trouble making filing deadlines and court appearances when ordered in Mississippi.

    @FlipYrWhig: These guys are all connected. There funding all comes from the same wealthy wanna be kleptocrats. Almost all of them have or had some connection to Andrew Breitbart. Furby’s thing is he’s also a white supremacist, and none to actually bright based on behavior, despite all evidence that he’s not superior to anything and is most likely inferior to most household plants.

    Obama needs to publicly state that Trump is a lunatic.

    Naw, Obama doesn’t need to do anything about this. Trump publicly demonstrates his lunacy multiple times every single day.
