Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

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

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

In after Baud. Damn.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

I *think* we can still joke about this, because Spicer doesn’t “look great on TV”, and Priebus hasn’t shown sufficient doglike loyalty to the Oval Office Occupant. As long as Pete Hegseth doesn’t want to give up his Fox News duties…

    Yet again, everything Trump touches is corrupted.  The Navy plays along thinking it will get all those shiny ships it desires, but ends up losing its soul of order and discipline.  At first it looks like there is some actual integrity somewhere, when the first reports are threats to quit if a murderer isn’t kicked out.  But then it turns out that of course they were willing to give Trump what he wanted and only end up destroying themselves.  The fish rots from the head,  but Trump seems uniquely able to bring out the most deep flaws of everyone that falls within his orbit.  It’s quite extraordinary.

    Shouldn’t they bring in someone with no experience to shake the Navy up and drain the swamp? Sure, it will be tough to sail on dry land, but this is the new paradigm!

    Trump can be the Navy Secretary. Y’all are forgetting that he’s a stable genius who knows all the best words.

    Does the SECNAV need Senate confirmation? Cause I’m thinking we could be seeing a Secretary Gallagher in the near future.

     

    ETA; Blech.

    @Spanky: Trump’s original SECNAV nominee withdrew from consideration when he found out he had to disclose all of his extensive investments and assets, so yes, needs Senate confirmation.  Spencer was finally confirmed in August of 2107.

    Whoever it is, you can bet he will take the navy back to steam catapaults.  Probably coal-fired steam propulsion too, which will insure Trump carries West Virginia.  Its a win-win.
