Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

I really should read my own blog.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

    I would’ve had no problem with Harris’s husband uppercutting this kombucha burp in the nuts.

    I’m reposting my corrected take on the manteruption of Senator Harris from below:
     I’m a let you finish popped into my mind.
    The gall that men have when a women exercises her agency and her power in a public setting. The sense of entitlement. The disregard. The invasion of space. The social injustice. The sudden threat. The lack of preparation by MoveOn or the facilities managers. The racism. The misogyny. The privilege. The absence of basic manners. The Man Bun. The effrontery. The grace and poise of Harris. The fierce defences of Ms. JeanPierre and the Senator’s husband. The sheer brazenly dudebro superiority. The pure embodiment of lefty truck nuts.
    Fuck that guy. Whatever his message, fuck that guy. His total respect for those he manturupted lacks a scintilla of respect.
    And as to the casual “we good” self congratulations of the security team – the sheer dumb luck that no physical harm befell Senator Harris was seized upon as if that’s the only possible outcome. Gavin DeBecker would kick their asses down one twisty side of Lombard street and back the other twisty side.

    In these days of gun-toting nuts blasting away in every sort of public situation, it is insane that security was so lax. The video is jaw-dropping.

    The lack of security is astounding. Thank goodness that no one, including Senator Harris, was hurt.

    Ugh. They need some/better security. Karine Jean-Pierre was fearless! Kamala’s husband looked like he wanted to punch the guy in the face.

    How about you let her speak about equal pay for women before going on your animal rights rant? Apparently the same guy(?) interrupted Bernie in 2016, but Bernie had a secret service detail by that stage of the campaign.

    Unless you are Zlatan Ibrahimovich, you do not wear a Man Bun. Fuck this clown, right in the clown shoes. Also, too, some proper polyester suit pants are too short security guys to Kamala, stat.

    I think the opposite of a chef’s kiss is a kick in the nuts, but that’s just a guess.

    Crap security at that MoveOn event.

    Also, giving that 100% compostable, recycled, O2 bleached roll of asswipe interviews after? No. He should have been in a paddy wagon, and enjoying a press embargo for grandstanding. Now the incentive to pull shit like this goes up another damn notch.

    Gaah.

    @laura: “Whatever his message”

    grabbed the microphone out of her hand, saying he wanted to speak about “a much bigger issue” (The Mercury News)

    His message was that his statement was more important than hers. Audience members were allowed to speak in turn. But in his mind he deserved center stage, and more than Harris.

    I’m also in favor of bludgeoning bunbro with a nice, whole, beef and pork olive loaf, a la Opus from Bloom County.

    Sure, Opus attacked a mime with his loaf, but only in self defense. I think we could argue a similar level of distress.

    It’s the first day of LGBT Pride month. So therefore RuPaul should have stormed the stage. Because important, snap!

    Woulda been a whole lot more fun. And there are Drag Queen rules: Get on, do your thing, get off stage, leave them wanting more.

    At first glance there are some similarities to the BLM activists who came on stage to interrupt Sanders back in 2016. But the different messages sent by women of color interrupting a white guy with a message about survival and a white dude interrupting a woman of color with whatever message he had are enough to completely change the dynamic. One showed courage in challenging the status quo (yeah, Bernie, you are part of the Establishment. Deal with it). The very act of interrupting was a part of the message The other featured an assumption that he and his message were more important than anything Harris could say.

    On another note, why did Harris’s team let her out on a stage with completely ineffective security in place? She showed a lot of poise in the moment though.

    @Aleta: His message was that his statement was more important than hers.

    More important than anyone else’s in the room. That’s why it was totally cool for him to jump the line. (What an asshole.)

    The guy was sporting a press pass – might be why he was allowed close to the stage or was able to slip past the lacksidaisical security….

    If this guy did this same dangerous thing once before, which he did, he should be arrested for his irresponsible actions, and bound by court order to never attend a political town hall event lest he be arrested for disobeying said court order.

    He could have caused himself to be shot by an agitated security person, if there had been security! Much worse, he could have caused others to be shot behind him… And man bun is ridiculous to an extreme.

    I tasted kombucha once, to see what it was all about. Once. that is all. Yetch! And I like sour things…

    ETA fix speling of liquid claimed to be a drink.

    @J R in WV: I make a kombucha that I ferment for 4 to 5 days, no longer, then mix it 2/3 to 1/3 of a red hibiscus tea like Red Zinger or Tazo’s Passion. Everyone I’ve given it to, including people who say they don’t like kombucha, have loved it. I haven’t bought a bottled one yet that I like as well as I can make, and it is so cheap to make that paying for a single bottle would cover the costs of gallons of home brewed.

    As to the topic at hand, MoveOn had damned well better be reconsidering their shitty security because that could have gone extremely badly, as you stated. Being close to Boulder means I see a lot of these Walking Kombucha Burp guys, always, always white guys with a strong sense that their pet issue and POV is THE MOST IMPORTANT EVER! Man buns are nature’s way of saying “don’t breed with that”.
