Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

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

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Motown is Joe-Town!

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Republicans in disarray!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

    Thank you for the update, and I’m glad that he is out of surgery and recovering in the ICU and out of surgery.

    I have a theory that feisty people recover more quickly. I know it’s true for my dogs, so it must be true!

    I keep hoping that John will post the awesome video of his dad vacuuming and saying “oh my god!” when one of the pups jumps up on the furniture. If any of you guys ever saved a link to that video, I hope you will post it.

    I can completely hear Dad Cole’s voice as he says “oh my god!” It’s priceless.

    Many paws crossed for a quick and easy healing for Papa Cole. Wishing the family patience, relief, and peace for the recovery.

    Calling on all supernatural forces with whom I have any ‘pull’ to get the senior Mr Cole to quick and complete recovery.

    Lovey, Koda, Cleo, my John and I have been sending good thoughts to your dad. Glad to see he’s gotten through the surgery well enough. Now on to full recovery! The power of positive Jackal thoughts has been vividly demonstrated to me in the last week, so I am confident Mr. Cole will be just as good as new very soon.

    On another note, I will probably just kill myself if I have to hear “The Middle” or “Meant to Be” ever again. Everywhere I have gone lately, they are playing these same two massively irritating, bad songs.

    Best wishes for a trouble free recovery. May he lament your poor decisions for many years to come.

    Best wishes to Dad Cole!

    @JAFD: and how has your cardiac rehab been going JAFD? They’re talking about putting together another NYC meet up now that Helen isn’t in Eire anymore ?
    I can’t come, unfortunately.

    Good news! Now go schedule a massage for your mom. She’s probably extremely tense and could use some stress relief.

    Good thoughts sent for a quick recovery, and also for a peaceful evening and some much deserved rest for the whole Cole clan.

    So thankful the surgery went well!
