Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everybody saw this coming.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Republicans in disarray!

We still have time to mess this up!

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

    Just saw that in one of the downstairs threads a couple of minutes ago. Hilarious photo series and genius captioning. Thanks for doing it, jeffreyw, and thanks for front-paging it, TaMara!

    That’s so cute. And that dog deserves a medal for putting up with that funny business.

    As we were waiting for the pictures to load, my roommate remarked…”Ah, this is bad. You seem to be…a dog!”

    And the prophecy comes true!

    Heh.

    Was all that to get the dog to move to the sofa and provide a butt pillow? Typical cat.

    Sounds like the DC media is in a fit about Michelle Wolf’s material not being appropriate. They can go fuck themselves, thank you very much. For a night dedicated to the First Amendment (supposedly), they are a bunch of thin-skinned turdblossoms.

    Adorable subjects and good photography also. Sharp and timed just right. My cats are always raising a leg or turning their heads just when I click.

    Hey, did you guys see the report that the tree that Trump and Macron planted on the White House lawn has vanished?

    It’s GONE!

    White House is not commenting, though some are speculating that the tree has been moved to a greenhouse for quarantine and will be replanted in the more appropriate fall.

    Well…. maybe. No doubt there is utterly no truth to the rumor that the night after Macron’s speech to Congress, the Secret Service were alarmed to discover that Trump was missing from the Residence. That they finally found him out on the lawn in his pjs, squatting over the hole where he’d uprooted the tree with his bare hands, and that he was found gnawing on the trunk while growling like some sort of wereboar. Probably no truth to that at all.

    Honestly the WHCD should’ve shut down altogether after Colbert. Next year’s monologue should consist entirely of “Go fuck yourselves. Thank you.”

    @B.B.A.:

    “How broke is he??”
    So broke he had to borrow money from the Russians and is susceptible to blackmail and for bringing on the death of the Republic.

    Maybe next year they’ll get Rich Little.

    @trollhattan:

    All the stories deflect from her criticism of Trump and the media, and focus on the (non-existent) criticism of SHS’s appearance.

    I nearly choked on my soda, I’m laughing so hard. A DOG?!! No, no, tell me it isn’t so!

    @PsiFighter37: That’s how you know she hit the mark. Really got under their skins. They should be outraged…about enabling this administration. But they don’t want anyone criticizing business decisions disguised as journalism.

    It’s a shame Bill Hicks died for our sins, because there’s one bit of his that, with a few minor edits, could apply perfectly to everyone in that fucking room.

    @trollhattan:

    The Conway bit was probably the smartest joke-writing in the whole thing, but her delivery suffered a bit. But as with Colbert, you have to give her credit for keeping professional in a hostile room.
