Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

“Joe Biden deserved better than he got from some folks in his own party.”

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

The willow is too close to the house.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Books are my comfort food!

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

“But what about the lurkers?”

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Second rate reporter says what?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

A consequence of cucumbers

    Huh. Checking that @UnfollowTrump (which I will be following), I see he’s been setting up China for more than just the server? How long until China is blamed for the cold Big Mac he had for breakfast?

    @debbie:
    China can probably legitimately claim, “Well, we made Hillary’s server, we just didn’t hack it.”

    Trump’s “Much classified information!” seems odd, even for him.

    U.S. is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question

    His official American birth certificate shows he was delivered by a midwife in Brownsville, at the southern tip of Texas. He spent his life wearing American uniforms: three years as a private in the Army, then as a cadet in the Border Patrol and now as a state prison guard.

    But when Juan, 40, applied to renew his U.S. passport this year, the government’s response floored him. In a letter, the State Department said it didn’t believe he was an American citizen.

    As he would later learn, Juan is one of a growing number of people whose official birth records show they were born in the United States but who are now being denied passports — their citizenship suddenly thrown into question. The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown on their citizenship.

    In a statement, the State Department said that it “has not changed policy or practice regarding the adjudication of passport applications,” adding that “the U.S.-Mexico border region happens to be an area of the country where there has been a significant incidence of citizenship fraud.”

    But cases identified by The Washington Post and interviews with immigration attorneys suggest a dramatic shift in both passport issuance and immigration enforcement.

    They’re coming for everyone.

    Why exactly would I want to follow Trump’s tweets, either directly or via some repeater account? I mean, if he says something particularly stupid/evil, it’ll get widely reported and I’ll see it, and I don’t have to expose myself to the daily deluge of self-aggrandizing crap.

    I like how Haberman is pretending Trump doesn’t pretend to be a background or anonymous source on himself to her, which she then directly copies out via twitter or an article in the NYT.

    So Haberman gave up twitter a few weeks ago, but has sent out 22 tweets in the past 24 hours?

    I’m deeply concerned that this might lead to a credibility problem for our stenographer.

    if by like you mean “I want to see Haberman burned alive at the stake still screaming “what about her emails!” then I’m right there with you.

    Haha, Chuck Todd asks @AndrewGillum if he wants an apology from DeSantis. “Let me be articulate and clear here…”

    FYI: This was another Chuckles segment

    @tommyxtopher
    WTF? Chuck Todd keeps wondering why DeSantis didn’t get the “benefit of the doubt,” while Michael Steele and @DonnaFEdwards try to talk some sense into his ass.

    Jesus Christ, MAGA Haberman, get something right–it’s HAMILL, not ‘Hammill’, PETE HAMILL, and he’s five times the reporter right now in his 80s, than you’ll ever be in your best dreams.

    Trump on Wednesday defended his administration’s response to a devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico last year, despite a study released this week that said there was a spike in deaths on the island in the six months that followed.

    “I think we did a fantastic job,” Trump said, responding to a question from a reporter at the White House. He called the emergency on the island “by far the most difficult” of the areas of the United States and its territories ravaged by hurricanes.

    “It’s hard to get things on the island,” Trump said, comparing the situation to response efforts in Texas and Florida, which also suffered significant damage.

    It must be after five somewhere.

    Two clicks this side of “Why is Gillum playing the race card against DeStantis?”

    Do I really have to say good for Michael Steele? I guess I do

    also, there’s an audioclip being played on MSNBC of “John Barron” telling People magazine that that Madonna person is desperate to get a date with Donald trump.

    I appreciate the Haberman tweets about Trump trying to place anonymous quotes, but they’d be a lot better coming from a reporter who didn’t spend quite so much time repeating what she heard from anonymous sources within the administration.

    That’s a lot of stenographerin’ Maggie did there. “Tenuous factual basis” is sure a fine way to say lie.

    @TenguPhule: The avocation of violence in this comment is disturbing as fuck. I like you and don’t want to pie you, but

    burned alive at the stake still screaming

    is way, way, way over the line. We aren’t white supremacists.

    there was some angst last week that showed that trump’s approval had shot up to a juggernautical 46%. This was two days after a national poll (Gallup, IIRC) was at 38%. Anyway:

    Jon Favreau @ jonfavs
    These are garbage numbers for Trump:
    40-56% approve/disapprove (66% indys disapprove)
    44-47% impeach/don’t impeach (47% of indys are pro)
    55% trust Mueller/35% trust Trump’s denials
    63-27% Trump should answer Mueller Q’s
    23-57% swamp drained/swamp worse

    BTW, who or what is Brawndo? Other than Queen Liz II’s pronunciation of Marlon’s surname.

    @NotMax: Reference to the movie Idiocracy.

    It’s a product that is used to replace water due to a marketing campaign, causing crop failures, because everyone in a dystopian future is an idiot because the smart people stop having kids.

    @Leto: Yes, this is DOJ and DHS putting the squeeze on State to enforce the Trump political appointees racist policies.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: Yeah, that number will always be there nationally. Much higher in some areas and almost absent in other areas but persistent for the last 10 years anyway

    @C. Isaac: And, its worth pointing out, even in that movie the President cared more about his people than the Orange One could possibly fathom. Seriously, I’d take President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho over Trump any day.
