Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

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

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

In my day, never was longer.

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

This chaos was totally avoidable.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

The lights are all blinking red.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

    People are still cracking up over Trump’s moronic July 4th airports rant. One that we got from a neighbor read in part, “During the assault on Newark Airport, we lost several good men in Baggage Claim, but we quickly rallied and prevailed at Concourse D”.

    Heh. That Subway has to be in Pittsburgh. Anthrocon has been going on since Thursday. Pittsburgh LOOOOOOOOOVES furries! They come here every year and we welcome them with open arms.

    Desperate Joe is now playing the O-card for all it’s worth….

    “I was vetted by him and selected by him. I will take his judgment of my record, my character, and my ability to handle the job over anyone else’s,” Biden will say at an afternoon event in Sumter, South Carolina, according to advance remarks provided by his campaign.

    Ah, the old bogus appeal to authority ruse: Obama gave me a job, so I don’t have to respond to anything Kamala Harris said about me.

    And some deceitful word salad from Biden’s speech this afternoon….

    That’s why I am proud to work along … I was was proud to work alongside Barack.

    I say “presid…” … I don’t say “President Obama” … I don’t want to get confused with the other president.

    Y’know I don’t want to say “the president”.

    He’s my buddy. I don’t call him “Barack” publicly, but “President Obama”. I was happy to work alongside of him….

    Riiiiiiiiiiiight…you say “President Obama” instead of “The president” so we don’t think you were talking about working alongside Trump. So easy to fall into that trap. And you feel the need to share with us that privately you call him “Barack”. Gotcha, you phony fucker.

    Now step down you worthless waste of space.

    @geg6: I have quite a few friends in the furry community and Anthrocon is basically their Christmas. Not to mention it’s a great economic boost. I would go save me getting sick in March almost blew up every summer plan I had.

    I liked this exchange in the Anthrocon tweet comments:

    “They could have asked furry Twitter for help.”

    “Then they would have gotten furry Twitter helping, though.”

    “Oh, God, you’re right, that would be worse.”

    I say they should take it as a win that a local business is reaching out to them, albeit awkwardly.

    I have heard, but you can never really know if news opinion articles are worth anything, that furry conventions are the most popular conventions with the neighbors where they’re hosted. Specifically, that furries are friendly, polite, responsible guests, good spenders and good tippers.

    Wingnuts are still trying to pass that garbage speech off as soaring oratory. GWB was Pericles compared to the babbling blob of hirsute marmalade.

    @Mandalay: When Obama picked Joe for his running mate, I figured it was to *not* pick an heir apparent. By going with a second tier candidate, significantly older than himself, Obama would be setting up a competitive primary in 2016, and let the most competitive Democrat win.

    Their also trying to sell Trump’s “genius” for doing something so “imaginative” as lighting off fireworks on the 4th. Wherever did he get that idea?

    Murky to whom?
    I am clear as to what she would do as President. Particularly on the domestic side.
    Foreign policy side….I don’t know all of what she would do, but I know a lot of it would be to repair our standing in the world after this clown. ??

    Clinton gave you a detailed list, dude. She told you over and over. A wave of bank regulations. I particularly liked her ‘tax high speed trades out of existence’ one. Free day care. Forgive student loan debt. Raise the minimum wage. Expand Obamacare. Equal pay laws. That’s just the stuff off the top of my head.

    @rikyrah: It’s interesting to see how the candidates are sorting themselves. Harris is definitely challenging Biden for the “I’ll bring the fight to Trump” slot, and frankly, I find her far more convincing on that score so far.

    Biden talked about “smacking bullies in the mouth” as a child when they taunted him for stuttering. Harris talked about prosecuting predators and called Trump out as a predator. She came across as the grownup who knows how to deal with criminals.

    I’m still with the plan lady, but I’m impressed with Harris too.

    Brace yourselves! On Monday shitgibbon’s gonna tell you all the great news about his environmental accomplishments.

    I hope at least a significant subset of the US press is teed-up and ready to call him a liar. This is not hard; his environmental record sucks (and his policies related to climate change (including fortifying the southern border) will kill 10s or hundreds of millions IMO in the fullness of time even if reversed in several years.)

    @NotMax:

    As far as I can tell so far, they trucked the tanks, IFV’s and Engineering vehicles in on lowbed trailers, protected the pavement, curbs and display pads with heavy planking, drove them the few yards into position, and parked them.

    So, minimal to no damage.

    https://www.thecut.com/2019/07/politics-is-changing-why-arent-the-pundits-who-cover-it.html

    But we’re also getting our first real taste of the punditry that will frame this next year and a half, and so far, it is the opposite of fresh, diverse, or forward-thinking. Rather, the analysis coughed up by some of the nation’s loudest and most prominent talking heads sounds familiar and stale. The dispiriting truth is that many of those tasked with interpreting our politics are — in addition to being extremely freaked out by the race they’re covering — totally ill-equipped for the historic task ahead of them.

    @Frankensteinbeck: (Chuckling). I grew up in Pittsburgh, a lovely city and a great place to grow up but this was a long time before the advent of Furries. Pittsburgh has really changed a lot and mostly in good ways (based on my last visit there).

    During some of the World Science Fiction conventions I attended, the main hotel bar would offer SF-themed cocktails. They were usually hit-or-miss at best. I’ll never forget the solvent taste and blue color of the Dilithium Crystal.
