Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

The lights are all blinking red.

Second rate reporter says what?

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

No one could have predicted…

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

This is amazing…a font created entirely out of gerrymandered districts:

 

Go here for a proper, high resolution image of the font, and the chance, if you’re so minded, to download it for free.

Here, by the way, is my first composition in this latest gem in the long history of typography:

It’s all a hoot — but it hurts too much to laugh.

    I just mentioned downstairs that you had commented on the twitter thread that you wanted to FP this on BJ. Glad you did — it is brilliant and inspired!

    @CincyPD confirms one arrest made tonight. Dallas Frazier is charged with assault after punching a protester. I spoke with the man assaulted. He’s getting checked out at the hospital.

    Police have *not* confirmed Dallas is a Trump supporter. Several witnesses told me he is. @WLWT pic.twitter.com/Z2todkEdIu

    Angry Black Woman ??

    Are you kidding me? At what point did @KamalaHarris lose her cool? First she’s too confident — now she’s an angry black woman. t.co/KVXT1ApmrJ

    I feel like I need to say this because a lot of white people dont seem to understand this point.

    Having sex with black people does not absolve you of racist behavior.

    Having a black or brown spouse, child, or friend is not a shield for you hide behind.

    @rikyrah:

    I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but it still stuns me that they continue to nominate people for senior positions without, apparently, doing a scrap of vetting.

    He needs an opponent…. like YESTERDAY ???

    Manhattan DA #CyVance is doing the most to not seem like the corrupt tool that he is and make us forget that he let Epstein slide for pedophilia and Ivanka and Don Jr slide on real estate fraud… t.co/xhLcLYg9DQ

    Acknowledge the achievements and then build on them. Expand the possibilities that Barack made available. Do NOT attack the good faith, tough choices made then for short term, ultimately harmful, political gain now. As Democrats we need to be proud and be smart. t.co/2ajh7BuTpD

    @rikyrah: You would think this would be obvous. As tens of thousands in the antebellum South showed, including Thomas Jefferson, having sex with a black person is compatible with believing blacks should be property that can be bought, sold and raped with impunity. As Strom Thurmond showed, having sex with a black person is compatible with running for President as a protest against stuff like Truman desegregating the army.

    The Trumpsters never do any background checking beyond absolute loyalty to the master. Cause nobody dares to be the bringer of bad news to the master.

    @rikyrah: Kamala is black and female, so of course her enemies will declare her to be angry as well. To right-wingers, any black woman who dares to express justifiable anger in measured tones in Angela Davis.

    that’s what The Vault (bka M&T Bank Stadium in Bawlmer Merlin Hon) resounded with on the many occasions when he made a stellar play.

    @rikyrah: Cy Vance was reelected in 2017 for a four year term. The pressure on him should be to resign. Outside of that it’s 2021 before an opponent against him matters.

    @rikyrah: I remember baseball great and Omaha native Bob Gibson caught a lot of flack for titling his autobiography From Ghetto to Glory. But then reality has always gotten in the way of popular sentiment.

    @SRW1: The inability of der Trumpenführer’s DNI nominee to pass a background check tells us something, but even when the obvious conclusion is screamed at them, his minions pretend not to hear.

    @tokyokie:

    his minions pretend not to hear.

    Because it’s not relevant. The Trump Presidency is white America’s primal whine. Are they getting their way? That is the question that matters to them, not what that way is.

    Hey, wait a minute, some of those letters are two districts put together.
    But on closer inspection, some of those two district letters are made up of two very weirdly shaped districts.
    But few made up of two districts, hard to tell if each district is outrage or not.

    @jl:

    I noticed that some were two districts too, and felt, not defrauded, but something like that. Sad that there are any districts that could be used for this, tho!!!

    Actually the Arizona 6th isn’t all that terribly gerrymandered, because Arizona (since a voter initiative in 2001) has an independent non-partisan commission to draw the districts. (and how the R-controlled lege howled and gnashed their teeth about it in 2011) which is why Arizona actually has competitive congressional districts…
