Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let there be snark.

Republicans in disarray!

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Second rate reporter says what?

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Republicans don’t trust women.

Come on, man.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Late Night Comic Relief Open Thread: Jacob Wohl, Banned From Argo Twitter

It’s CPAC time again! — remember when that would be a weekend’s worth of cheap snark just on its own? That was before the Squatter-in-Chief gave its loudest lightweights the keys to the West Wing. And yet, it’s still (to phrase it politely) a clown show!

Apparently Wohl spent last week Periscoping from Minneapolis with Laura Loomis, RWNJ fame whore, begging people for money to keep stalking Rep. Ilhan Omar. Don’t know how the fundraising went, but I guess it got him enough media attention to get over his skis — again.

    Kim summit has apparently fallen apart. Trying not to be nervous, but I don’t trust either one.

    PZMeyers has at least 1 hilarious post at his blog pharyngula about Wohl’s and Loomis’ stay in Minneapolis. Fun read!

    The only thing absolutely predictable about the meeting was the reported menu for the final night’s dinner: shrimp cocktail, then grilled steak followed by chocolate cake. No mention of an iceberg lettuce wedge salad that I’ve been able to find..

    FSM forbid that Dolt 45 experience anything resembling local cuisine.

    @plato:

    No, Trump’s narcissistic ego has been wounded. He MUST come back to the States and respond to Cohen.

    TAXES!
    His house of cards is wobbling. He must come back.

    Am I imagining things or is Donald unusually sharp tonight?

    Edit:
    JFC, am i falling for his BS? He seemed quite in command of the facts and dynamics.

    Jacob Wohl is far and away my favorite wingnut, I’ve been following him for a long time

    He’s just some sad kid whose dad keeps trying to get him on TV.

    Evidently the last episode when he “exposed” Mueller using his mom’s phone was a bridge to far for her…she’s divorcing herself from these two losers.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA:

    In the late 70’s, got an upgrade from driving delivery for a muffin shop, to driving delivery for a French bakery. Half of the baugettes, ( and we made damn good baguettes), wound up going to Vietnamese Pho shops scattered across the city. I got my Yum on for cheap, many many times.

    That rendition of My Heart Will Go On on a cheap toy-store recorder is absolutely divine.
    @NotMax:
    I’m guessing that the “shrimp cocktail” was mostly Thousand Island dressing, with a tiny shrimp and a teaspoon of crabmeat concealed somewhere therein; the grilled steak was done better than well; and the choccy cake was from a box mix.

    God, God!

    Just wondering if anyone has ever explained to Trump that calling someone “quite a character” isn’t necessarily a compliment?

    So in looking up the history of the Shrimp Cocktail:

    “As Hopkinson and Bareham note in The Prawn Cocktail Years, what was once considered to be the “Great British Meal” consisted of Prawn Cocktail, followed by Steak Garni with Chips and Black Forest Gateau for dessert, commenting that “cooked as it should be, this much-derided and often ridiculed dinner is still something very special indeed”.[14]”

    So final dinner was supposed to be a Brexit.

    Quite the shade thrown by the Chef.

    So Trump says, “They wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn’t do that.” Kim is going to say, ” they wanted us to give up our best means of self defense in its entirety and we couldn’t do that.”

    Perhaps if Trump read the Iran deal he’d see how you do things in steps to build trust and reward good behavior, backed up with a strong inspections regime. Trump wants everybody to give him everything nownownow.

    So Trump gave away a summit meeting and got absolutely nothing.

    Quite. But isn’t that why the diplomats are supposed to meet in advance to hammer out an agreement, and the summit is just for the photo op of a signing ceremony? But that would require Trump and his low-quality hires (© Kay) to have a semblance of a clue.

    @Amir Khalid: Naah. Cheap-arse cocktail sauce is basically ketchup & horseradish (with a little lemon juice & Wooster Sheer sauce dripped in); see link in #24 supra.

    @montanareddog: That would also require the lower level people to have the authority to deal. We saw this dynamic with the Shutdown deal. Trump would disavow any arrangement made by Pence or others. He would also make a verbal agreement and then unilaterally change his mind. The only deal he will make is one he negotiates himself, you need to get him to sign it ASAP before Fox News weighs in, and even then he will break a written agreement.
