Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.
Let me file that under fuck it.
Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.
Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.
Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!
Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!
A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.
In my day, never was longer.
Tick tock motherfuckers!
You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.
Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!
The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.
Trump should be leading, not lying.
You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.
Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.
The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.
Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.
“woke” is the new caravan.
You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Oh my god is it finally over? They just had a looooooong pan over the audience showed everyone was blanked faced and fidgeting.

He was sort of wheezing it out toward the end. I misjudged, but it seemed like it was going to go on forever.

It’s like a rich kid going through the motions of taking a test when his parents have iced the way for an”A”. Like it is the first time he’s ever read these words and couldn’t care either way.

The Secret Service guys look like clones, all shaved heads.

I’m sitting in a Denny’s with a group of fellow writers and if I’m careful not to look up too high, I can avoid seeing the TV.

I warned all you people that he could outdo Fidel Castro in rambling on for several hours without taking a break.

Joe Manchin buts his way through the crowd to be right behind the Joint Chiefs, who did not love the speech, and be the first civilian to kiss up.

Remember when Obama was mobbed with people waiting ten deep to shake his hand? The chamber was half empty by the time Trump started walking out.

OMG – MSNBC has mikes on the floor as circus peanut leaves and the Rethugs sound like slobbering fools. Should be used in campaign ads after he’s jailed.

Small knot of Republican men surrounding him and giving tongue baths of “great job, Mr. President,” and “you knocked it out of the park” and other lies.

Haven’t watched, but…I guess that whole unity thing has gone on the stroll?

Reposted from below: Was it 1997 when Bill Clinton gave a long SOTU which pundits hated yet voters ate up with a spoon?
And has any pundit invoked that speech trying to make Trump’s tonite not sound like a lead balloon?

@TaMara (HFG): That is kind of a fuck you clap. I love it!

And then I put my glasses on to watch the closed caption version of Stacey Abrams’ speech. It looked great to me — very smart of her to have an audience behind her and not just give it to an empty room.

The SOTU speech was a super sized putrid steaming pile of excrement delivered by a raving drooling neanderthal who should be fitted for a straitjacket.
