Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

The revolution will be supervised.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

This really is a full service blog.

    @AnotherBruce: Ahh, I thought so also, but now I have figured out there’s one tabby in the center. I think.

    (For the record I never got into that dress color debate.)

    That’s what makes the photo great. It’s kind of an Escher thing. It’s definitely a figure/ground challenge.

    Oh, look! There’s a cute puppy in that picture, too. And a little bitty kitty that you just see the side of his face. No, wait – two puppies.

    Interesting pic. Would probably make a good jigsaw puzzle.

    @Bad Santa 3?: I think you mean 2004. MoJo:

    Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine exploded into public view this month, with the revelation that Trump pressured the country’s new president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to work with Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and information to discredit Mueller’s probe. A complaint filed by an intelligence community whistleblower that triggered this new Trump scandal depicted Giuliani as a Trump henchman prowling Ukraine for negative material Trump could use against Biden. But the former New York mayor’s involvement in Ukraine and other former Soviet bloc countries has been more extensive and even more sketchy than these disclosures indicate.

    The New York meeting and an earlier trip Giuliani trip took to Kharkiv in November 2017 were arranged by TriGlobal Strategic Ventures, the firm says on its website. TriGlobal, which claims to have offices in New York, Moscow, and Kiev, sells itself as an international business consultancy that does public relations work for clients in Russia and Ukraine. The firm also brags that it has worked with Giuliani since 2004, arranging trips for him to former Soviet states. Last October, Giuliani took a break from his work representing Trump to speak about cybersecurity at a conference TriGlobal organized in Armenia to promote a Russia-led economic bloc, the Eurasian Economic Union. Giuliani appeared at the event alongside a Russian official, Sergey Glazyev, who was sanctioned in March 2014 for his role in the annexation of Crimea and who has been accused of advancing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Ukraine, an accusation he’s denied. Giuliani was reportedly invited to a conference by Russian Armenian multimillionaire Ara Abramyan, a member of TriGlobal’s board, who reportedly suggested at the time that he expected Giuliani to deliver a message for him to Trump.

    The cuddlepantz have grown enough to be at the stage of Big Kittens or Not-Quite-Cats-But-We’re Working-On-It so now they can mess with the grownups’ heads.
