Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

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

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

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

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

How stupid are these people?

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

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

You are here: Home / Open Threads / America, Fuck Yeah

    @Leto: Given the reputation for drinking his own urine direct from the tap on video, maybe you want to rephrase flood gates.

    Sorry, but I have trouble keeping track of all the Republican assholes. Are people sending him dick pics on general principle, or has he done something specific that makes him especially deserving?

    ETA: And I guess Adam L Silverman has answered this.

    Insert “is it real, or is it the Onion?” emoji here. Is this a person I should be aware of, or an internet character like Mrs Betty Bowers and Owen’s Grandpa and Merkin Patriot?

    @Roger Moore: @Jim, Foolish Literalist: He goes by the nickname Joey Salads. He’s a local asshat from Staten Island. Basically stereotypical Staten Islander who runs a racist YouTube channel who is now running as a Republican to try to unseat Max Rose, the current Democratic congressman from that district.

    The Judiciary Committee hearing on police brutality was our politics in a nutshell:

    See reaction from @DrPhilGoff to conservative @HMDatMI as she asserts at a House Oversight hearing on policing that concerns about police shooting black people are overstated. pic.twitter.com/FSRaiLNIFL— Oliver Willis (@owillis) September 19, 2019

    Heather Mac Donald goes on to say it's actually *white* people who are hurt by police, and @DrPhilGoff vigorously shakes his head "no." pic.twitter.com/8iG8U4LCYj— Oliver Willis (@owillis) September 19, 2019

    It goes on, but I’ll get put in moderation. At the end Matt Gaetz tries to quote Al Sharpton.

    @Adam L Silverman:
    Indian PM Morarji Desai was famous for doing this too (some kind of traditional medicinal practice, as I recall) but to my knowledge Desai never videoed it coming out of the tap, as it were.

    Michael D. Collins has been described as Danny Devito portraying Bernie Sander.

    Here’s how an Irishman described him:

    “He’s our tiny wizard President. He waits in line at atms. He buys people ice-cream. He speaks up, loudly, for the downtrodden. He’s a poet and a University professor. His name is Michael D. Higgins, or as he’s affectionately known (because a child on tv called him this) Miggledy.”

    There’s a president we know and respect.

    Youse will love him cuz his doggos are devoted.

    @Chetan Murthy: I especially liked how his hapless opponent (Graham) kept repeatedly trying to interrupt, only to get trampled each time by Higgins’ barrelling delivery. The man simply had no chance ….

    @ruemara:

    I assume his name is some kind of pun relating to tossed salad (which is code for an unmentionable sex act).

    And if it’s not it should be.
