Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

No Justins, No Peace

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

In after Baud. Damn.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

It’s a doggy dog world.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

    Kavanaugh in his “interview” on FoxNews:

    I am not questioning and have not questioned that perhaps Dr. Ford at some point in her life was sexually assaulted by someone at some place, but what I know is I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone.”

    You know his minders told him to throw in that “perhaps” to make the sentence completely meaningless.

    Right. They must have got him to say that exact sentence in front of a camera twenty times during the rehearsal. Kavanaugh is very deliberately raising the possibility that Dr. Ford was never assaulted by anyone, ever, but brags that he’s far too much of a gentleman to challenge her wacko allegation.

    There will be a lot more of that iron fist in a velvet glove treatment when they try to skewer her on Thursday.

    @Mandalay:

    There is not much that is lower than minimizing another person’s trauma. Should they be stupid enough to try that, my hope is that Kamal will step with some sharp, humiliating questions.

    @debbie: Avenatti posed some pointed questions in his letters to the Jud committee, sounds like they’re based on someone’s very personal knowledge of Kavanaugh and Judge and their group.

    Also, he’s saying his client, the one that was assaulted will be doing an interview in the next 48 hrs.

    The intent was to change the subject and it did. There’s a reason Rosenstein and Trump will meet Thursday. If Dr. Ford performs well, Rosenstein is gone.

    but if you need proof that the GOP has shredded the country’s institutions and the people’s trust in government, look no farther than the Rosenstein debacle today.

    Just wait till bribery is mandatory if you want any government services for your area.

    And neither does Faux News have any ethics whatsoever. Never had, never will have!

    No offense!!! But still, no ethics, a morality free zone of Russo-Republicans.

    @feebog: The GOP has no ethics, nor anyone who would take an appointment from them. Example No 1 – current WH appointees. Example No2 – current administration appointees. Kavanuagh comes in 3rd.

    Kavanaugh isn’t just denying the assault allegation(s), he’s denying the perception that he (and Judge) were booze hounds. says his high school was spent on academics, sports, church and working on being a good friend. No sex and only occasional drinking

    Using the trump defense – deny deny deny
