Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

This blog will pay for itself.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

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

He really is that stupid.

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

Republicans do not trust women.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

    As much as I’d like to think differently, I probably won’t be around to see 2060.  So, the next good one on that list is probably up to one of your kids.

    When I first saw the video of IMPOTUS and VP standing there, it looked like they were taking a pee on the flowers! Ugh, that shows how little I expect from them in terms of civil behavior.

    @Jerzy Russian: Dr King never looked so fierce in life. I know he was, but it came through as persistence, not fierceness. We know now how brave he was. I am glad his statue shows that.

    @sab:

    I think the word you are looking for is resolute.

    I don’t think Dr. King wanted to be fierce. I never got that vibe. I knew he’d never give up and would take pretty much anything thrown his way but I’d say resolute fits him much better.

    @Mnemosyne:

    Very interesting. Also reading about the other 9 people with statues. Esther John struck me as one of the most interesting. Both Dr. King and Esther John were born in 1929 and she was murdered 2 yrs after Dr. King. Both had to overcome a lot to be the people they ended up and were actually similar stories.

    Fuck, I’ll be 65 in 2060. You know, if the consequences of climate change don’t kill me before then

    Sooooo Dump and Dense did the same thing they did last year or in 2017 or 2018?  (I don’t remember what damn year it was, it’s been a long century.)

    Me, neither, though I will try for 2061 because of Halley’s Comet. It’s last pass in 86 was all kinds of wrong (kinda like anticipating Christmas morning, then opening presents and getting only socks and underwear). 2061 HAS to be better.

    Plus, by 2061, the Memorial for Trump will likely be finished (a stall at the spaceport with a flusher that works on the first attempt).

    Remember that video from Puerto Rico (?) where Trump moves his water bottle, and Pence immediately mimics him? Watch the above video. At about the 20 second mark, Trump moves/folds his arms, followed 2 seconds later by Pence doing the exact same thing. Very weird pair, those two.

    If we’re gonna have this holiday, then y’all at least need to know who you’re actually celebrating. MLK was not the meek and deferential person they describe him as in your history books. He was defiant. He was a truth teller. He was… this guy: pic.twitter.com/dyZsXmiKmx— Stephen Holder (@HolderStephen) January 20, 2020

    @The Dangerman: I’ll be a hundred when it comes back, and ever since the pale, wimpy disappointment of ’86 it’s been my goal to see it.

    But yeah, climate change could put a crimp in that plan.

    @JWR: It’s part of how Pence stays in Trump’s good graces.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

    They even teach that practice in communication seminars.  What a disgusting pair.
