Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

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

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

We will not go back.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

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

Come on, man.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

This really is a full service blog.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

    What the hell? When did this place get all nice and snazzy looking?

    John Cole never would have allowed this sort of thing to happen if he was still with us.

    Are we back? We are back!

    First test for me: does a page bloat to 300 MB of RAM like the old site did?

    … seems to be idling at about 51.5 MB.

    … right now you seem to need to refresh the page to see your comment, then refresh again to get the edit button.  Could be my antiquated browser…

    Of course Trump loves Erdogan! There Trump money in Turkey, and Erdogan gets to commit the war crimes Trump’s military people won’t let HIM commit.

    New site looks good. Let’s see how well it functions! Can it remember my NYM?

    I’m a sucker for new & shiny, but this looks really nice! Well worth the wait. And my nym and email even carried over!

    Good work everyone. I’ll go leave a donation now.

    Last time he was here he watched from his parked limo as his security goons beat up American protestors. I sure would like to see him try that again.

    Jinkies, autofill still works for my nym/email, and everything’s all fancy-looking. Feel like I gotta change into something nice before I visit this joint.

    If the past is any guide — and if it isn’t, what is it good for? — my day-by-day reaction to the new look will be … Day #1: I hate it. Day #2: I hate it. Day #3: Not so bad. Day #4: What was the old look? I forget. Day #17: Its always looked like this, right?

    That building with the big Turkish flag behind Erdogan is the Anit Kabir in Ankara – Ataturk’s tomb. That motherfucker has a lot of nerve being there. I’m honestly kind of shocked that Mustafa Kemal Pasha doesn’t rise right up from his coffin & strangle that Islamofascist bastard with his own tie.

    FTR the building with the square columns behind Erdogan in the one tweet is the Anit Kabir – Ataturk’s tomb overlooking Ankara. That motherfucking Islamofascist has a fuck of a lot of nerve being anywhere near that monument to founder of the secular Turkish republic. Frankly I’m shocked that the spirit of Mustafa Kemal doesn’t rise up out of his coffin & strangle him with his own tie.

    This is so wonderful. Large print that my old eyes can actually read without squinting. And you remembered my nym and email address. What could be better? Well, a handsome, elderly gentleman, but we can’t have everything….

    The House Intelligence Committee just spent a day establishing just what some heads of state have to do to get invited to the White House.  And yet, there Erdogan was.
