Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.
We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.
Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.
They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Fight them, without becoming them!
The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.
Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.
Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll
Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.
I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.
Their freedom requires your slavery.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Second prize was breakfast with Trump. First prize was breakfast without him.

@Mary G: The Guardian has video of same.

I got a good laugh at the cupidity of this whole contest thing. My favorite part:
Yeah, that sounds exactly like something trump would write, if he knew how to send emails.

@Mary G: Not sure what Greenwald expected to happen when he repeatedly called the fascist a coward (covarde) while sitting less than a foot from him. I also don’t see the homophobic part. Nunes may indeed be homophobic, but he attacked Greenwald for being an asshole, not for being gay.

Anonymous wrote a book about the toddler in chief and his apparent temper tantrums. Why read a book when all you have to do is put on the news.

@JPL: He wrote it anonymously because he doesn’t want this story of his brave efforts on behalf of all Americans to short circuit the worst impulses of trump, keeping trump from destroying the world, to be about him the brave truth teller. Totally not about him, the lone picket standing between us and the forces of Armageddon.

@OzarkHillbilly: What if you are right? hmmm

This “contest” was just one more way to bamboozle the right-wing rubes out of more of their money. It’s why Trump switched political parties – it’s easier to hornswaggle the loonies on the right than the ones on the left!

@Mary G:
B-b-but the Russians told Glenn that they were only going to install deranged fascist dictators in every country except Brazil. How was he to know that helping them was a bad idea?

Sort-of fixed.

For some light entertainment, I thought to read the comments at wapo in relation to Bloomberg running for president. I just read this one
How many large swaths of Americans are billionaires?
Chyron HR
@TS (the original):
“You don’t get elected by insulting large swaths of Americans,” said no Republican strategist, ever.

@TS (the original): I think the number 700 appeared recently. Sounds like the right order of magnitude.
And as to Chyron’s comment, 700 is a lot smaller than, say, the number of people with Parkinson’s, but that didn’t stop Trump from mocking a reporter with it.

typical con man activity. they see a thing that someone else is doing and translate it thru the lens of ‘how do i profit off this?’ the Dump family foundation is a great example. they only see the tax benefit. they completely miss the real point of having a foundation. it’s why so many GOP’ers believe the Clinton Foundation is a scam. they can’t imagine having all those donations within their grasp and not grabbing some of it for themselves.

@Mary G: I’ll give Greenwald credit, he is putting himself at risk going against the kind of bad guys who deserve it.

My theory is that the meals actually happened, but when these regular people were in the presence of the great orange God Sun King President for so many minutes, his pure radiance caused them to enter a higher level of existence. That’s why we can’t find them or find pictures of them with Trump.
