Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

The revolution will be supervised.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

This really is a full service blog.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Books are my comfort food!

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

Come on, man.

“Alexa, change the president.”

    If TV shows have taught me anything, it’s that bad guys will be able to enhance this photo and steal your credit card information.

    You are all better looking and more youthful than I’d have thought.

    Seems that as I age everyone looks young and is good looking. Anyone else notice that?

    A thought for Green-not-Green… wasn’t it about a year ago she left us?

    According to the timestamp on the photo, you guys are hailing us from the past – or do I need better glasses – or wait, maybe we have the past 5 years as a do-over! Yes, please I’ll take it!

    ed. Nope, just needed to zoom in more.

    @zhena gogolia: I just cried my way through that whole thread again. The same day as Tunch leaving us. What a horrible day.

    Edit: and yet, it confirmed what a great community of jackals this is, which shows in all the meet-ups like the pictures above.

    Whole lotta slavering going on!

    It makes me extra happy to see meetup pix now that I’ve actually been to one myself!

    @satby: I lost an online friend the same week we lost Green-Not-green and it just feels like someone is missing who should be here.
    Her mother maintains her Facebook page and when we find terrible puns and jokes some of us still post them to her.
    She taught at a Lutheran school and belonged to that far right Lutheran sect, but she was a liberal Democrat. She was just 40, far too young.

    Since the thread is going this way anyway, my BFF’s elderly mom died earlier today. She was a very devout lifelong Catholic, so I can’t help thinking that she would have found passing on Easter Sunday to be quite appropriate.

    @satby:

    Thanks for the link. I didn’t feel that I knew Gen. Stuck before his untimely death, but I was interested enough to read the obit, the BJ comments, see Charlie his dog, etc. We probably had a lot in common, environmental work, liberal unionism politics, etc. We would have disagreed about Israel, which under Bibi and his fellow fascists is doing terribly there alone in the mid-east.

    Maybe Major^4 and or Alain could whip up a search tool that helps people find threads with select commenters in them, with a date range too maybe. That would be a good thing. Or just a date range thread access tool, even. I know Google does lots of that, but my Google Fu isn’t what it used to be. SQL was a long long time ago!

    @Spanky: The lantern is from an Autumn Equinox Celebration and Parade at Greenlake last year. People dress up in illuminated costumes, dress their dogs in illuminated costumes, bring or buy lanterns, and we all walk around the lake in the dark, the only lights being what we carry and/or wear. A good few hundred turn out!

    Ever since then, I’ve used the lantern at BJ meetups so people know which table we’re at :)

    @satby: Thank you for reprising that thread. Quoting the General on Republican thought

    concentric circles of blissful ignorance.

    A master, indeed.
