Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

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

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

The lights are all blinking red.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

The words do not have to be perfect.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

When we show up, we win.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Claudia Tenney (R-NY) is a worthless piece of shit:

“It’s interesting that so many of these people that commit the mass murders end up being Democrats, but the media doesn’t talk about that either.”

The Parkland shooter was photographed taped doing target practice in a MAGA cap, by the way.

Lets send Claudia Tenney packing in November. Donate here to the eventual Democratic nominee in her district (NY-22):

    That part of the state should be called “Seething Resentment.”

    Note: I taught at SUNY Cortland for a couple years…

    If only we acted less smug and self-satisfied towards these people, they’d act like human beings.

    Ballotpedia has identified this district, which Tenney won by 6 points, as a race to watch in 2018. In the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney (R) won by less than one percentage point, while Donald Trump claimed victory with a 16-point margin.[4] The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also included the district in its list of targets for 2018.[5] Ballotpedia is currently tracking 15 races to watch for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, although this list is likely to evolve as election day approaches.
    Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi (D), who carried the district by 6 points in a November 2017 Public Policy Polling survey, had the fundraising advantage in the third quarter of 2017. He raised $413,000 to Tenney’s $213,000.[6][7]
    New York’s 22nd Congressional District is located in the central portion of the state and includes Chenango, Cortland, Madison and Oneida counties and parts of Broome, Herkimer, Tioga and Oswego counties.[8]

    @BGinCHI: that swing to trump from Romney +1… Seething Resentment indeed. OTOH, Tenney trailed him by 10. Kinda the reverse of the national pattern.

    It’s quite the thing (meme? trope?) on the right that “all the violence is on the left”. Makes them feel better for all the obvious reasons. Also, projection.

    You know, back to John’s note that the Parkland shooter is on tape practicing in a MAGA hat…for the millionth time, just imagine if he had done it in a Obama or Clinton ball cap? Or even a blue one?

    Well, in a way, it is proof that he was mentally ill…

    @Jeffro: By reason of stupidity is no excuse while by reason of insanity might be!

    It is unknowable whether Tenney is stupider than her supporters, eh?

    Out of respect for the Parkland students murdered, Trump will donate a MAGA cap to each victim’s family.

    I was shopping for Star Wars party supplies for an upcoming shindig and couldn’t help noticing that the good guys all have a blue background and the bad guys all have a red background. Not very subtle, either. ??

    An Associated Press photographer captured the crib notes Trump was holding during a listening session with students and parents affected by school shootings

    From the photograph, it appears there were at least five points, including:

    1.) “What would you most want me to know about your experience?”

    2.) “What can we do to help you feel safe?”

    3.) “Do you see [unclear] something effective?”

    4.) “Resources? Ideas?”

    “5.) I hear you.”

    Another Scott

    The only way we will be free of these horrible people in government is to vote them out of office. They won’t change. We have to crush them at the ballot box.

    Donated.

    Thanks, Doug!

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Jeffro: I’m seeing that from my conservative acquaintances, that most mass shootings and generic murders are done by liberals. Can’t even imagine how they came up with that.

    Some of these here Republicans may need to move to higher ground, because there’s a wave coming:

    The 3,800 in-person votes cast by Democrats Tuesday represents a 300-percent increase as compared to the first day of early voting in 2014. In-person Republican votes were also up about 25 percent.w/ @GabMoBanks https://t.co/JnDo9EnCAi— Robert Downen (@RobDownenChron) February 21, 2018

    Ted Cruz may need to send his wife back to work at Goldman-Sachs and polish up his resume.

    And yes, I know this is wildly optimistic and Texas has broken many a Democratic’s heart, but something’s happening here.

    I mean, if there’s one thing leftists are known for it’s their massive collections of firearms, right?

    It is something that they widely believe, while also believing that liberals are cowardly pacifists.
    Well, except for Antifa, which are Hillary’s shock troops for her planned coup.

    @satby: that’s the classic Karl Rove-style counter narrative, right? Always accuse the other side of that which you yourself are guilty.

    @BruceFromOhio: yup. Talking points via the puke funnel.

    What I want to know is, why are they always squirrelly white males? I think we need to put all squirrelly white males in jail until we can figure out what’s going on here!!

    @satby:

    most mass shootings and generic murders are done by liberals

    The “thought” process is:
    Most murders are committed by Blacks and Hispanics.
    Most Blacks and Hispanics are liberals.
    Therefore, most murders are committed by liberals.

    I’m pretty sure most people can immediately spot the problem with the premise here.

    I think people are finding their strength…finding it in numbers we’ve been told to believe aren’t really out there.

    And the GOP is banging on too many institutions, norms, things that actually help the majority of our citizens. Their leaders let Trumpov (and each other) get away with it, but the more they serve the 1% at everyone else’s expense, the more obvious it is. And the madder the center-left and center-center get, the more they organize, and turn out.

    They pulled it out of their asses, the same way they come up with all this stuff. They know the people they’re lying to aren’t going to fact check it.

    @efgoldman: He’ll toss the MAGA hats out at the funerals – like toilet paper in Puerto Rico.

    Speaking of Puerto Rico, really depressing today to read that the suicide rate is way up in Puerto Rico. That’s okay, though, because they are brown and shouldn’t even be considered citizens, really. – Trump (not me)

    Maybe we should check with the President of the Virgin Islands and see what that guy has to suggest to help Puerto Rico!

    I think the list I saw goes all the way back to Democrat Wilkes Boothe. No shit.

    It is one of those shitty forward email type of lists that creepily conflates Democrats from the 1800’s to Democrats of today and also conflates various anarchists and left wing extremists to liberals.

    @satby: I think that started with the guy who shot Gabby Giffords. It was initially reported wrongly and gleefully that he was a Democrat.
