Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I really should read my own blog.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Second rate reporter says what?

Not all heroes wear capes.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Cold Grey Pre-Dawn Open Thread: Maybe Vlad’s Saving the Big Reveal for October

Putin’s a traditionalist, after all. And let’s be honest, Trump is last cycle’s Big Disrupter, all the gilt has worn off his grift. Especially when there’s an up-and-coming new cult political team pushing some very foreign-interference-friendly projects…

    That BERN App worries me not least because of the way the Wilmerites target and harass people. People’s info will be entered without their knowledge or consent, an outrageously irresponsible invasion of privacy. I worry about people like my sister who isn’t very computer savvy if one of the Wilmerites in our family enters info about her political leanings.

    This isn’t even shocking anymore. If you elect a criminal, of course he’s going to do all he can to hide his sleaziness from the public. Hence his refusal to turn over his tax returns. Trump is above the law and flaunts it in our faces every single day.

    Is anyone else amused by the pearl-clutching about ‘information going back decades’? Can you say ‘Whitewater’? Can you say ‘Rose Law Firm’? I knew that you could…

    They demanded a 1961 birth certificate, so I am willing to refrain from asking for anything older than that.

    BERN, the name of the new database, allows supporters to log the names and other information of anyone they choose. The database matches each name to a voter record before noting their level of support, priority issue and even union membership, according to one report.

    I reached out to Sanders’ campaign manager to ask about privacy concerns, allowing anyone to enter a person’s name and personal information without their consent, but got no response.

    Sanders’ campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, worked as the political director for the ACLU until March 2019. It seems odd that the political director for the ACLU would allow anyone to enter someone’s information without the content of the owner of that information.

    Openly handing his voter file to Putin – “Russia if you can hear me, run millions of ads targeting my voters on my behalf. I’m sure you will be rewarded.”

    His Orangeness would certainly be singing a different tune on foreign interference if it was somebody else getting all the love (i.e. Bernie)…

    "The Trump team can't resist showing off. They love to be caught, they just hate being punished. And that's their weakness: this autocratic flaunting. They need everyone to see that they've pulled one over on them, as a matter of ego." — @gaslitnation https://t.co/qsDSsUHwKD— Sarah Kendzior (@sarahkendzior) April 29, 2019

    Guess decades of getting away with it all including stealing the presidency is more to systemic failures all around than due to the thug’s shenanigans.

    Didn’t Deutsche already turn over the records to the state of NY? I assume that if the trumps didn’t stop that, they can’t stop a legitimate investigation by congress.

    So his children and spouses (plural) are only tangentially connected to him. Uh huh.

    All I keep thinking every time he whines that the Trump Org finances are off limits is, “they made Carter divest a peanut farm. What made you think you could refuse to do similar without consequence, dumbass?”

    As we used to note when I worked on Wall St., Deutsche Bank is the dirtiest sheet in the laundry. No surprise that Cornholio used them. They deserve each other, and I hope they both go down with a splat.

    Reads more like a press release than a pleading.

    I don’t think it states a claim.

    Can someone explain how BERN is any different than VAN? Or, really, any database of donors and volunteers from any campaign?
