Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Let’s finish the job.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

We still have time to mess this up!

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

This blog will pay for itself.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

    I don’t much care where Trump lives, as long as it isn’t the White House for much longer.

    (Yes, I’d like to see him behind bars but dare not get my hopes up. Out of the Presidency will suffice.)

    There is NO LEGAL REASON for this 6-yr-old to be JAILED, crying for her parents, for MONTHS. Her case is pending.

    Longest child in family detention is MSHS, age 6. She’s been in immigration detention for 128 days. She was a spider for Halloween. Last night she sat in a corner in the Berks babyjail and cried to be reunited with both her mom and dad. #endfamilydetention #freetheBerkskids— Bridget Cambria (@BridgetCambria8) November 1, 2019

    How nice that he’ll be able to spend his retirement among his own kind, getting high on bath salts, exposing himself in convenience stores, and inserting firearms into his rectum.

    This will make it easier for him to stage those hate rallies in Pensacola and Orlando, plus The Villages!

    This is what a hostile takeover looks like. I’m pretty jaded about Seattle politics, but this is legitimately shocking. They’re using all that money to gaslight an entire city. We will probably never fully recover from this level of corporate aggression. pic.twitter.com/IkP4VKmMeC— Brett Hamil (@BrettHamil) November 1, 2019

    He’s not going to live in Florida. He’s going to live in NYC but claim Florida. As least, that’s what I suspect he’s going to try to do. I don’t know how aggressively NYC will go after him if he spends 183+ nights here in the Big Apple. If Cy Vance has anything to say about it, probably not very aggressively.

    @Jay: There are some good candidates, progressive and competent, who are getting megabuck support from Amazon. I’m not fond of our Socialist’s approach to our corporate overlords. I don’t believe it’s effective to demonize them. They bite back and stymie good policy. It appears that some of the candidates who got Amazon bucks will lose because of the ridiculous amount of money. It has tarnished their integrity.

    Prolly an arrangement with Ron DeSantis – no extradition to New York in return for not releasing embarrassing details about election fraud in certain recent statewide elections. Secession an option if necessary. Russians involved?

    @Jay: All anyone has to do is surf towards The Stranger voting guide. The Stranger has been very influential. They interview the candidates. and they base their pick on that basis. They’ve been doing it for a long time. Sometimes I don’t take their advice, but not very often. If you want, they have a cheat sheet all set up

    You know, one thing the 302 documents published by @BuzzFeedNews @JasonLeopold really bring home is just what a complete snow job William Barr did on the American people with his 4 page memo. 27 days from the date it was published until the redacted report- so much swept away.— Justin Hendrix (@justinhendrix) November 2, 2019

    White supremacists gathered around civil rights martyr Emmett Till's memorial today with a Mississippi Flag & a League of the South flag to film a racist propaganda video. The Emmett Till Interpretive Center's security cams at the now-bulletproof monument caught them. 1/ pic.twitter.com/hDIAUUi52D— Ashton Pittman (@ashtonpittman) November 3, 2019

    Shortly after, members of the white supremacist org disperse & scurry to their cars after apparently setting off a security alarm at the newly-replaced Emmett Till memorial, now bulletproof, after being shot up repeatedly. (Warning: loud video). Story + more footage coming. 2/ pic.twitter.com/LxjGPjhkM8— Ashton Pittman (@ashtonpittman) November 3, 2019

    @Raven:

    Exactly:

    He added: “People say you should go because it’s about respecting the office of the president. And I think over the course of his time in office he’s done a lot of things that maybe don’t respect the office.”

    The Trump administration is creating a center that will give immigration agents access to information from U.S. intelligence agencies. Migrants and others denied entry will be unable to see the evidence against them because it is classified. https://t.co/14WmJ5MMxr— ProPublica (@propublica) November 1, 2019

    Regarding the cartoon, the FLA Manatees see the Daily Manatee front page with Trump moving into their state, and need to register to vote! I just don’t see what’s not to get about that simple obvious take. Even the underwater mammals will vote against Trump.

    Regarding the Civil Rights Memorial, racists never give up their hate, it’s all they have. No brains or education, no courage, no common sense, just full of irrational hate based upon race, or religion, or community background, or wild nonsense that doesn’t even make a coherent argument….

    Jim, Foolish Literalist

    Fredo wrote a book

    The younger Trump defends his father throughout the book, including pushing back a number of times on charges that the president is racist. He said when he was a kid, Michael Jackson lived in Trump Tower and came over to play video games with him and Eric.
    “Oh, and by the way, given all the things my father has been called, particularly a ‘racist,’ it sure sounds odd that he’d let his son vacation with a black man or hang out with Michael Jackson, doesn’t it? If he’s a racist, he’s sure not very good at it.”

    @Nicole: He’ll live in FL. Trump Tower is too exposed to the public, and our opinion of him. His private Del Boca Vista is filled with adoring fans.

    So if Trump retires to his resort in Florida, and whiles away his days playing golf, are we taxpayers still going to be paying for Secret Service golf cart rentals and other fees that will go into Trump’s pockets?

    Exciting times! Twitler is now claiming that Adam Schiff is going to ‘change’ the transcripts. Not sure whether he means of Twitler’s phone call(s), or of witnesses’ depositions, or what. But that’s now the new line of defense for this most innocent man.

  47. 47.

    Jeffro

    @J R in WV: I agree with all of that, especially ‘wild nonsense’.

    It is hard to fathom the mind that takes offense at a memorial to a person who was beaten and killed. What exactly are they gathering there to protest/get wound up about/use as their inspiration? “This here memorial…to a person who was beaten and killed just because of who he was…grrrrrr!”

    Actually, I understand it just fine: monuments – or even just historical markers – to murdered black people undermine the concept of white supremacy in a big way. Perhaps instead of just a security camera and alarm, the marker needs a minefield around it or something. Mines that are only activated by low IQs, perhaps?

    @chris: The projection would be him ”editing” the transcripts to make an opponent look bad/criminal. That’s why his lizard brain is all spun up about it and has seized on it as something to put out to his cult. It’s literally the first thing that sprung into his mind.

    He’s already tried to make this into the ‘perfect’ call. It didn’t work. That’s why he’s still (STILL!) trying to throw off chaff and ask where the whistleblower is, etc etc. IT DOESN’T MATTER, trumpov, YOU CONFIRMED THE WHISTLEBLOWER’S ACCOUNT 10x OVER ALREADY!

    @zhena gogolia: WTF happened? It’s a rare day when I don’t go through the threads on here, but it seems something blew up badly in a short bit of space. I’ve seen a couple other commenters asking the same thing & not seeing any answers. I deeply appreciate all the front pagers. Cheryl and Adam have very specific insights that just can’t be found anywhere else; even though they sometimes disagree, the back and forth in itself is instructive. We can’t afford to lose anybody.

    @Jeffro: Projection: “Accusation is confession.” Orangecandyass (or more likely one of his evil minions who’s reasonably competent, like Stephern “Reinhard Heydrich Mini-Me” Miller or Bill “Disbar Me” Barr) will order some neofascist tech weenie to alter the tapes & destroy the originals.

    @Nicole: It’s actually the state of Florida that verifies the claims residency. I have several friends and know others who changed their registries from Illinois to Florida. And somehow they need to prove to Florida officials that they are indeed living in their Florida homes.

    Fun comes in with couples who claim Florida residency and only one of them actually wants to live there…

    Personally, I’m extremely optimistic on this point. But I’m not heartless. I’d happily allow his entire family to live with him.

    Yeah. It’s just not funny.
