Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A norm that restrains only one side really isn’t a norm – it’s a trap.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

We’re not going back!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

    They haven’t been afraid of Bernie because the chances of him getting nominated were not good in 2016 and are slimmer now (and even if he was elected, what are the odds of him working well with Congress?) They are afraid of Warren because they know she can win the primary and the election and start reversing 40 years of increasing inequality.

    That’s a brilliant response – a great example of a Democratic campaign playing by the “new rules”, and ignoring to old (MSM-written) rules for Democrats.

    Hunters and anglers can now shoot and cast their rods on federally protected land that serves as critical habitat waterfowl and other birds, in the administration’s latest effort to open up protected lands to recreation as well as industry — including oil and gas drilling.

    Hunting and fishing will now be allowed for the first time at seven national wildlife refuges, and restrictions will be reduced at 70 others.

    Just a warning: I just had the most hideously inept corporate customer service I have ever experienced. At FedEx. From tag to website to chat to actual person, it was like a Star Trek scenario where the Captain is trapped by a machine that wants the answer to its riddle. But it got hit by a meteorite and the riddles and answers are all mixed up.

    I am nice to customer service. But what we have lately isn’t that.

    It’s like they automated the people by forcing them into such a strict script, and giving them so little ability to fix anything, that nothing gets done. Over and over and over.

    In other news, TheHill:

    Senate negotiations to fund the government descended into chaos on Tuesday, underscoring the fight awaiting lawmakers as they try to prevent a shutdown.

    The talks snagged almost immediately after they started amid deep disagreements over abortion and funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall, among other issues.

    Both sides are swapping accusations, with Republicans saying Democrats are violating the spirit of the two-year budget deal and Trump effectively throwing a grenade into the talks with his plan to raid military construction funds to build the wall.

    […]

    I don’t think I’ve seen a construction like that in political reporting in a while, even though it’s true.

    Seriously. “Go ahead, Donald, say it if it makes you feel better but you still haven’t done anything for the working families in this country and you never will”

    @rikyrah: To be cynical about it; Biden is a competent old white guy who pretends to be a buffoon (as opposed to Trump who is incompetent old white guy who tries to pretend he is a competent one). The GOP base is going to love that. That seems to be the problem of the age; white losers who are clinging to their whiteness as the only thing they have of value. They will look at Biden and think “ah, you see, we really don’t suck that much”. Doubtless Turtle will fight Biden just as a hard but Turtle won’t have the same Base Rage to help him like with Warren or Harris who are guilty of being competent and female.

    @Another Scott: Hey, while we’re on the subject of raiding money from the military:

    Army IG finds widespread concerns with privatized housing and lack of oversight

    At 48 of the 49 Army locations with privatized housing, residents expressed concerns with safety or environmental issues and some level of dissatisfaction with their privatized housing experience, according to the IG report. Of those who participated in the survey, 52 percent had environmental concerns with their housing. Top environmental concerns were mold, lead-based paint, asbestos, water quality, open sewage and radon gas. Residents reported problems with maintenance and the work order process; lack of communication and lack of transparency from the property management companies.

    The inspectors found that life, health and safety items aren’t part of the current Army housing inspection requirement. And while numerous families have reported these concerns, the property management companies self-report, and didn’t recognize any life, health or safety concerns before this IG review, according to the report. Inspectors recommend these requirements be rewritten to include life, health and safety items.

    Did you say mold?

    Marine Corps family wins lawsuit against Lincoln Military Housing, after kids sickened by mold

    I don’t recommend any of my Airmen live on base. I can’t ask them or their families to be exposed to this shit (because privatized housing is DoD wide). This is something that service members have been dealing with, at least, since 2013. Sen Warren, along with Rep Deb Haaland, introduced a bill to help fix this clusterfuck. Again, she has a plan for that.

    Get tired of people (especially men) demeaning her, or the ageism. Some people are ancient at 55, some people have years of productive life ahead of them at 70 and 75.

    Damned good question. On a past show, he said that investors should “trust Trump over the Chinese.” Now, any financial advisor with a brain would say that you should evaluate and make decisions based on the most accurate information available. Trust has got nothing to do with anything. Cramer’s ass kissing was close to malfeasance. But he’s on the TV, so he can say stupid shit which violate all principles of integrity.

    Bullish investors should turn into shrinking violets as the stock market continues its shocking downward spiral, CNBC’s “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer told Ann Curry on TODAY Monday.

    In what Curry called a “dramatic statement,” Cramer emphatically urged any investor who has money they may need in the next five years tied to stocks to pull their dough out.

    “I thought about this all weekend,” Cramer told Curry. “I do not want to say these things on TV.

    “Whatever money you may need for the next five years, please take it out of the stock market right now, this week. I do not believe that you should risk those assets in the stock market right now.”

    McConnell will give a more in sorrow than in anger speech from his desk about how the Democrats won’t restore the money because they hate the military and patriotic military families.

    @Leto: It’s not dumb, but it is cynical and DOES rely on a dumb media.

    They took a ton of the funding from various military projects. Now they’re going to ask Democrats to add that funding back in. If the Democrats say no, they’ll act like Democrats are the ones “hurting the troops for political gain”. This entire gambit depends on a supine media with absolutely no willingness to face up to common sense, so it’s actually a decent bet.

    That’s the big lesson of the Trump presidency: Break the law. Do what you want. As long as you have one veto point in the system and your side votes in a bloc, you’re basically consequence-free. In this case, damage the troops by doing something likely illegal and unconstitutional, and then blame the Democrats for all the damage you caused.

  65. 65.

    @Adam L Silverman:
    The question is, will it work? I don’t have any special insights or anything, but the national political environment right now is very Democratic-leaning. They can try, but I don’t think the “The Dims hate the Troops! Rally round the flag!” approach will work as well as it may have in the past. Too many people have woken up and seen the GOP for what it is and that “Moscow Mitch” moniker is not going away anytime soon

  70. 70.

    MisterForkbeard

    @??? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ??: The media loves controversy and Republican framing. It CAN work. If Democrats just stick to loudly and pointedly repeating that Trump stole the money from the troops to help his own election (yet another in a long line of Trump screwing voters for his own good ) then they can probably beat it back.

    Even if it doesn’t “work”, you can still count on horribly debate questions about this and 24×7 repeats on Fox News. The fever swamps will eat it up and it will encourage Trump’s base even if it falls flat everywhere else.

Because dog forbid that Republicans aren’t really the champions of the military, that it’s been Democrats trying to not only uphold the rule of law, but also help the military achieve its objectives…. no no, can’t have that story.

    Finding out who that 28% are is a telemarketer’s *dream*…

    @Gvg:

    @Brachiator: Biden was known as the Senator from Connecticut meaning the credit card industry. He’d have to be awfully stupid to attack Warren on anything to do with working for the money industry.

    Biden is the Senator from Delaware, in other words, Senator from large corporations resident in Delaware. Where corporations ARE PEOPLE, my friend! The most important people!!

  151. 151.

    @Gvg: I think you mean Delaware, where most major US corporations are incorporated due to the state’s favorable legal environment for corporate entities.

    Fantastic response from Warren.

    In local news, here’s the first national piece I’ve seen on why Matt Jones (radio host and author of Mitch Please!) is vastly more likely to topple McConnell than Amy McGrath.

    https://washingtonmonthly.com/2019/09/10/kentucky-democrats-should-not-play-it-safe-against-mcconnell/

    It quotes McGrath’s barf-inducing pandering to Trump voters:

    “Kentuckians voted for Trump, they wanted to drain the swamp,” McGrath said. “And Trump said he was going to do that. Trump promised to bring back jobs, he promised to lower drug prices for so many Kentuckians. And that is very important. And who stops them along the way, who stops the president from doing these things? Well, Mitch McConnell.”

    @Uncle Cosmo: I am a minion of the Essex County New Jersey Democratic Organization, and if they call me in January and ask if I can go to New Hampshire and ring doorbells for Sen. Booker before the primary, I’ll quite likely say…
