Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

When I was faster i was always behind.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

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

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

We still have time to mess this up!

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

The willow is too close to the house.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Today, pictures from valued commenter Tom DeVries.

In late July strangers employed by the government came in the night and saved my home from the 150 square mile Ferguson wildfire. The fire was stopped 30 feet from my backdoor with planes, helicopters, a bulldozer, and human effort. I will never know exactly whom I owe, but thank you.

    But, but government is the problem, not the solution! //

    California has had so many terrible fires, it’s good to hear you were spared.
