Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

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

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I really should read my own blog.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

    I know as a Bernie Bro I’ve sworn a pledge to hate every Democrat besides Bernie ***”he’s not a democrat” echoes in the comments*** but I miss Harry Reid, always had a soft spot for him.

    I’ve been too busy to keep up the last week: so this massive Nevada victory I’m reading about was 27,000 votes? The NV presidential electorate in the last three cycles was ~1,000,000

    @Morzer: You whine incessantly about Sanders. Fine.

    Now tell us how any of the Democratic candidates who are less popular than Sanders would do better.

    Thought not.

    Just a reminder to everyone, the pie filter was created to not allow someone like anarchorex to derail threads. I suggest you use pie liberally.

    This is your nightly troll PSA.

    @TaMara (HFG): it’s like Biden wanting to brag about his bipartisan bona fides, and instead of talking about John McCain or John Warner or Olympia Snow, he drags Eastland and Talmadge out of the mothballs. Bernie could name Canada, South Korea, Japan or half of Europe as models for successfully expanded social safety nets. But he talks about China and Cuba

    This is not my area of expertise, but maybe you could say it was Bill Clinton, egged on by Sam Walton, who in giving China Most Favored Nation status, was ultimately responsible for lifting all those Chinese people out of poverty?

    At any rate, Bernie needs to get his foot out of mouth if we’re going to have to depend on him to oust Trump. Sheesh.

    @TaMara (HFG): Given China’s size of population, couldn’t you also say they had a lot of people they COULD take out of poverty? A poverty that was self-inflicted by the Cultural Revolution

     

    @Ohio Mom:  Yeah. Could have said, even a poor, dictatorship like Cuba got 100% literacy; we can just as well.

    @Jackie:

    During the multiple months of interviewing candidates, The State made repeated attempts to schedule a meeting with Sen. Bernie Sanders. Despite those extensive efforts, Sanders would not agree to participate in an interview.

    @rikyrah: I just don’t know how caucuses survived past WWII and the advent of car culture. It’s nothing but bullying and peer pressure writ large. Why would you do a caucus and then insist no one can see your presidential ballot?

    @Jay Noble: We had caucuses for one year in Tx, and I thought it sucked. Now I vote early (on paper ballots a/la ‘fill in the bubble’) and there is no comparison.

    I caucused in 2004,in Iowa , when I was at school. It was a very interesting experience that I enjoyed participating in…. Along the lines of “it was cool to take a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon one time.”

    As a college student, my nights were (mostly) free. As a mother of baby, I can’t imagine keeping her with me for an hour or two on the evening, probably past her bedtime…

    Why does Harry Reid hate the Iowa corn dog and fried butter-stick industry?

    (Pardon me a moment…)

    I’ve just been informed that ridiculous campaign appearances are also held in non-caucus states.  Objection withdrawn.
