Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Please don’t feed the bears.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Found liable for massive fraud, is required to post a massive bond, gets a break, then files a *fraudulent* bond!

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Second rate reporter says what?

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

I also would like a pony to improve my balloon juice experience.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

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

Good Morning All,

As we move closer to the new site launch, I wanted to remind you to submit things now via the form or to hold off until the new site is live.  The old email address is dead and until the new site is live, there’s no replacement for now. I hope to change that later today.

Ok, it looks like my concern about the new site launching very soon is a bit off, sounds like it will be weeks, not days. I’ve got a bunch of submissions, mostly multiple sets from a few folks. Please do continue to submit pictures, but don’t feel like it must be now.

Have a wonderful day and weekend, enjoy the pictures!

 

We are once again blessed with some amazing pictures, and though I love the new Friday tradition, I do miss otmar – please come back! ;)

Second Night / First DNC Liveblog – Part II

From the Guardian liveblog:

Here’s Vivian Ho in Oakland on how Harris thrives on being “the adult in the room” in debates, which seems to be her MO so far tonight

Senator Kamala Harris’s supporters have been waiting for her to take the stage in the debates since she announced her candidacy.

She may have stalled in the polls, consistently lagging behind former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders, but anyone who has followed her career knows that she shines brightest when the pressure’s on and she can step into the role of the only adult in room.

After all, her Senate judiciary committee hearings have become almost a spectator sport. Video footage of her flustering attorney general William Barr with a career prosecutor’s mastery has notched millions of views. Her questioning of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh led to memes of her skeptical face circulating around social media.

No doubt, voters tonight are now picturing the kind of damage she could do on a debate stage with President Trump.

The Guardian‘s invaluable liveblog is here.

Barstool Sports is two ranks beneath unspeakable, but I have a weakness for comedian ‘PFT Commenter’, who’s… probably not wrong here:

..I think the real fireworks are coming later on tonight where Bernie, Buttigieg, Harris, and company will have to reckon with the former Vice President, and the realization that if the Onion had made Joe Biden less rapey no one would want to vote for him, and if the New York Times had made Trump more rapey no one would have either. Cable news tells me Biden is the guy who could win votes in states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other states that have forcefields around them for other nominees. Essentally Democrats want to run Biden because he repersents their version of Trump, except instead of calling Obama a Kenyan merely positioned himself to be president in the event that the birthers were right…

Excellent Read: “FAMILY Values!… “

Alexandra Petri is a national treasure:

Let me make one thing clear: The treatment that children are receiving at the border, reported with horror by those lawyers — this is not against my values. Do not misunderstand! I still have more values than anyone. I am a values voter, with values for days, values that go all the way to the floor, values that wave amberly as far as the eye can see!…

We can clearly see that these are just children by themselves, not families, and they are merely covered in filth and tear stains, not exposed to comprehensive sex education, Darwinism or a textbook implying the reality of climate change. So, yes, what’s going on there is in no way an attack on the family. The family is something to be cherished, as luminous as it is theoretical.

It is important to have these values. But I have lots! All the most important, decorative values are the ones I have…

We must have values because people are flawed and fallen. As the Good Book teaches us (it is no “The Art of the Deal,” but it has some points, if you skim it correctly), if you see someone who is suffering, ask yourself, is it possible that this person did something wrong? Not only is it possible, it is probable. Well, then! Probably what they are getting is a just desert. Cross to the side of the road, and let a Samaritan handle it, or some other foreign entity….

If You Ever Wonder How Revolutionaries, Insurgents, and Terrorists Are Created, This Is One of the Ways

We will be paying the price for this maliciously, amoral, immoral, evil stupidity for years and years to come. Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, and the children themselves will seek vengeance for what we’re doing to them. And when they do, we’ll act surprised and plead that we’re the innocent victims of unhinged fanatics that hate us for our way of life. We’ll use their attempts to seek vengeance to justify more perpetual and forever war. And to whittle away whatever is left of our constitutional rights and liberties.

Open thread!
