Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

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

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

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

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

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

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

We will have plenty of time to call each other neoliberal shills and Bernie bros in 2020, and still more time to freak out about the general election polls in 2020.

What matters this year is off-year elections. You may have some local off-year elections. In my county, we have a county exec election. I believe the Democrat (Adam Bello) will win and if I can find any time at all, I will work for that Democrat.

There aren’t a ton of off-year state-level elections. The most important ones are probably in Virginia. Many of you have asked me to raise money for the Democrats in the House and Senate there. You can give to Virginia Dems here.

    Doug, you need to come up with a pithy description for supporters of clueless, handsy windbag Uncle Joe Biden.

    Virginia is really, really important, and both the State Senate and House of Delegates are well within reach. Send some bucks to the Virginia Democratic Party. They used the money effectively in 2017, and they’ll do the same this year.

    @randy khan: Yes, indeed, because if either chamber flips it’s lights out for good on the obnoxious gerrymandering that has been perpetrated at every legislative level. And they know it too, which is they have suddenly become advocates of fair redistricting.

    @Barbara:

    become advocates of fair redistricting.

    While still appealing to the US Supreme Court to either preserve their racist gerrymander or delay undoing it long enough for them to steal one more election, grrr.

    Bill, great Elsinore picture a couple floors down (I was an idiot; I had gone to San Diego and was close, but I cut north at Temecula because I, for some sick reason, wanted to make San Bernardino before lunch … San Bernardino over poppies, oh man, I wish I had THAT one over).

    That said, if I got into the mess, I probably would have said screw it (Lancaster was bad enough and that wasn’t that bad in comparison).

    Shit, Duke wins and UCI loses; not a good day to have me watching and rooting. I think I’m an O-fer.

    Good timing!

    I donated already to my Virginia peeps tonight, but I’ll be sure to kick in some here tomorrow.

    It’s really, really, really important.

    Thanks, Doug!

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Isn’t New Jersey the other state that has its elections in off-off years as well? Virginia and New Jersey have their elections for state office at the same time. The primary day is June 4, 2019. BTW, can we have a thread for all those random and scattered otherwise 2019 primaries and elecrtions and initiatives? While there’s no Congressional races (unless special ones), remember local elections are important too (your mayor determines where those water pipes go).

    We’re having an election for our state supreme court in Wisconsin. Unfortunately it is on April 2nd so it is probably too late to beg for money here, but the conservative running, Brian Hagedorn, is a homophobic, misogynistic, culture-war nightmare, whereas his opponent is an actual professional. If there is any chance money could go that direction this late in the game it would be great.
