Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

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

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

The words do not have to be perfect.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Days Since JD Vance Insulted Women Across America: Zero

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

In my day, never was longer.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

#Bubbly4Brett is the #LetThemEatCake of this Backlash Decade. How, after all, could one expect the poor man to go through this farce with no alcoholic lubrication?…

    I say we also make it as painful as possible for their supporters. I’m tired of comity and kindness, trying to work things out just so these assholes can come back through and wreck it all again.

    I hope they bathe in white phosphorous.

    Good thing Trump is scared of non-human animals; he’d probably try to appoint his favorite dog or horse to some commission, Roman Emperor-stylee.

    As Drezner sez: Enjoy the whirlwind. You low-rent fascist pseudo aristocrats* have about 28 days left in which to pretend you’re hot shit. Tik Tok.

    Trump is not the equal of either a horse or a dog in decency, dignity, compassion, or indeed any positive quality you can think of.

    This is the kind of shit we are up against.

    In a Mississippi Restaurant, Two Americas Coexist Side by Side

    Ms. Walls said her own daughter was raped, beaten and left unconscious in a motel about 20 years ago. That led her to be more skeptical of Dr. Blasey’s account of continuing trauma and gaps in memory, as well as any explanation that post-traumatic stress disorder might be to blame.

    “PTSD, c’mon, get real,” she said. “Maybe she needs to talk to some servicemen that really understand PTSD. It’s not that I don’t understand rape, big time. But if it affects you that bad, which it did my daughter, you go to counseling, whatever you need to do. My daughter’s gone on just fine with her life.”

    It’s the Times so if you don’t like it don’t read it.

    Enhanced Voting Techniques

    I see, a strictly party line vote a “win”? This the crazies celebrating “we finally crushed the last vestiges of sanity in our party”.

    @Raven: Surprised (not really) that the Times couldn’t be bothered to get affirmation from the daughter. Maybe Ms Walls doesn’t hear from her so often anymore.

    @satby: I really truly don’t get why anyone in media thinks I’m supposed to care about the stories of the absolute worst people in America. I am not interested in their hopes, dreams, or thought processes. I am not interested in their well-being. I am not interested in their survival. I despise them and want them to be miserable.

    @Damien:

    The Greedy Old Pervert party has declared war on us. Women seem to be the main target – with Trump leading the mobs. If you aren’t one of the old guys born with a silver spoon like Trump and his real constituents – they really could care less about all of us. But that’s the way Racists & Authoritarians are – they declare war on truth and those of us who tell the truth.

    I’m worried about the children and the role models Trump & his kind project. Thankfully Taylor Swift and others have stepped up.

    At least some democrats & liberals are waking up and fighting back. This isn’t a time to play nice.

    Victims of sexual assaults & harassment seem to be the prime target with all of us being targets. Dr Jones is facing death threats for telling the truth. As soon as she came forward I knew there would be more victims. That’s how the perverts and sexual predators behave. It is a power trip for the creeps.

    The only good thing about this renewed war by the TOP is that the victims are talking. Problem is that too many don’t realize that they are under attack by the Trump cultist. What gives me hope and keeps me from being depressed is that a whole lot of women are very angry. And Angry women get things done.

    To win the Greedy Old Pervert party* has surrendered to the Russians.

    *GOP – Who ever came up with that is brilliant!

    Roberts looks like a man watching his barn go up in flames.

    Wait until the next Democratic president calls him and says, “You know, I like that precedent Trump set where the Justices come over and pledge loyalty.”

    For a guy who said he’s going to be totally fair and independent, Kavanaugh sure acts like someone who’s planning to do whatever the GOP wants.

    @Raven:

    How does Mrs Idiot know this about her daughter?

    But then Idiots have been around forever talking about stuff they know absolutely nothing about.

    The U.S. really is a third world uneducated country in the GOP strongholds of stupids. That kind of stupid can’t be cured. Many/most victim learn quickly to put on a show of getting over an assault – sort of like getting one the flu. God I really hate the ignoramus idiots.

    @OzarkHillbilly: For the win in this thread.

    Just sent a week sailing a regatta in New Orleans, and it would have been a great time had many of my Southern male friends not been gloating over the Kavanaugh debacle. Had to leave NOLA early to get to southeast Florida on the way home before Michael comes calling, but it made it easier to leave.

    @satby:

    @Raven: the NYT really digs deep to find these mofos though, because that’s not a normal reaction.

    I don’t think they had to dig at all. This is totally normal among Republicans. Conservative women are the kapos of misogyny. .

    @Raven: With a mother like that…
    I’d venture she has an elastic definition of “fine” or she isn’t quite informed about what “fine” is for her daughter. As if a fucking waitress knows more about PSTD than a psychology professor.

    Also, counseling isn’t a fucking wand to make you exactly the same as you were before.

    @Shakti: And she did go to a counselor, years ago.

    Why would FTMFNYT go all the way to Mississippi to find some ignoramus who wasn’t really paying attention, just formed an opinion based on her party affiliation. They probably could have found someone just as ignorant right there in NY, but they might have had to actually dig a bit.
