Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

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

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

This post is in: ,

Because of horrible mismanagement, the Rochester City Schools are facing a huge budget shortfall and are laying off teachers to balance their budget. We live in a rich state where the right answer to this problem would be legislation to close the $65 million shortfall along with some kind of oversight by an outside board of management. Instead, we’re going to take a bunch of kids who haven’t had the best start in life and fuck them over.

I hope the other candidates will say something about this–it’s a tragedy.

    There’s no chance that Rochester is gonna get the treatment that Detroit, and Benton Harbor (MI), did. Is there?

    I wonder if they’ll be asked about it during the debate.

    I saw this clip of drumpf. Someone should play it at his rallies – the redcap fans would be confused by it:

    Check out this exchange I had with then private citizen @realDonaldTrump on Oct. 15, 2008. We spoke about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and he then offered his thoughts about impeachment. pic.twitter.com/mXlsG9SjbB— Wolf Blitzer (@wolfblitzer) December 18, 2019

    True story: there is a White House staffer going around the Senate delivering to each office, as a package, the incoherent, scathing Pelosi letter AND…wait for it…a giant 16×12 White House Christmas card (along with, implausibly, a second smaller Christmas card).What a day. pic.twitter.com/y8gZuQbipl— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) December 18, 2019

    That’ll change their minds. Not. I find it creepy that Melania’s signature looks so much like Twitler’s and was told by a completely unvetted source on Twitter that he doesn’t sign cards for her, which I thought was the logical answer. Allegedly Flotus changed her handwriting to look like his and started using Sharpies on purpose. Creepy af.

    Holy shit. From KOS

    An appellate court dominated by conservative judges just ruled that a central provision of the Affordable Care Act—its mandate that all Americans obtain health insurance—is unconstitutional, a decision that could lead to Obamacare getting struck down in its entirety.

    Sounds like an opportunity for assorted multi multi millionaires, or better yet BILLIONAIRES, to make it right.

    @zhena gogolia: 

    So is Hines (CT) who’s speaking now.

    I listened to most of the speakers. Someone should string together all the GOP statements. They’d sound even stupider than Trump.

    Impeachment vote now expected between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. tonight — right in time for cable news primetime lineup.
     

    Cool. Maximum exposure. Maximum humiliation. They’ll even per-empt the Network’s prime time shows.

    More so if you go back further. He was on local NYC television practically every day back in the 1980s, and the disparity is shocking. If this is what money and greed do to a person…

    @debbie:

    Loves me some Maxine: “Did I call for Trump’s impeachment early on? Fucking right I did! And y’know what? I was right.”

    Back in early ’17, I wrote a 1,500 word bit for the Sitka Sentinel calling for Trump’s impeachment w/in days after Trump fired Comey, admitted to obstruction of justice in front of Lester Holt and millions a on-lookers, and then confirmed it all in front of his handlers Lavrov and Kisliak in the White House the next day.

    Paper refused to print it cuz I refused to excise bit about calling for impeachment (which was, you know, the entire motherfucking point), but will say:

    Trump entered White House under a shit-cloud of criminality. It’s just got worse in time gone. Ain’t no shame in seeing things clearly, and tho it’s taken folks awhile to come around to Maxine’s way of thinking, am heartened to see her view vindicated.

    It’s insulting for these assholes to claim Dems are hell-bent on impeaching Trump for no reason. The reasons, they are legion. Fucking pick one. Or a couple. Or many. They all answer.

    I get Bernie’s regular posts on facebook. I like them partly because I suspect he doesn’t write them and because they’re informative.

    It doesn’t move the needle on my (lack of) support for him. He has little to no understanding of strategy or of how to win over a large constituency or expand beyond his shouty, purity pony, base. This post about Rochester schools doesn’t recommend an action as simple as notifying key legislators and the governor so the response will be unfocused if there is any action besides feeling angry – something his base seems to live for.

    @ola azul:

    Should amend “admitted to obstruction of justice” to the more accurate (and representative, to say nothing of illustrative, of Trump’s unconquerable stupidity), “bragged about obstruction of justice”.

    If white kids in Brighton and Pittsford were being adversely affected, Albany would make the money appear.
