Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

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

Let there be snark.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

People are weird.

Stand up, dammit!

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

    @lahke: Dammit! I can’t find the emoji for a pin-dropping sound.

    ETA: And why is it suddenly so foggy, and where is that eerie music coming from?

    Just saw that Jeff Bezos bought some new digs in The Hills(Beverly Hills).  Checked the place out on Google Maps, got huge hedges surrounding the place to keep out prying eyes.

    Kind of eerie rendition of a familiar tune.

    Not eerie per se aside from the title but I do have a soft spot for this bouncy composition.
