Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

“Alexa, change the president.”

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Let there be snark.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

I really should read my own blog.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

I am so sick and tired of hearing people trying to turn these people into boogeymen:

The antifa body count is STILL ZERO.

    I know a few people who are convinced that these Antifa people are out slaughtering conservatives by the thousands.  There’s no way to reach people who believe this shit.  All we can do is beat down their political movement so hard that it never walks again.  And right now, that means somehow destroying the Republican Party.  I don’t know how we’re going to do that, but that’s the task at hand.

    You tell them we already had the debate over this whole antifa thing during the period 1941 to 1945 and they look at you like like you’re speaking an unknown language. Which, to them, I suppose you are.

    When anyone has the time to spare he provides a thorough and insightful overview of Antifa in these videos:

    We’re still living.

    The pot smells good.

    The jerk chicken takes the longest, marinating 24 hours before cooking low and slow over wood coal and hickory. Kerr describes the process in a slow drawl: “Jerk is the marinade that we put the chicken through but it’s the seasoning — cinnamon, allspice, which in Jamaica we call it pimento seed or berry, garlic, thyme, scallions, onions. And the main ingredient in all Jamaican cooking is Scotch bonnet pepper.”

    “One of!” interjects Bryan.

    “It’s the,” she says with a teasing tone. “Oh, yes, and the ginger.”

    @JCJ: Yeah.  Someone needs to tell Trump that Eisenhower, McAurthur, Patton, and Nimitz were the original ANTIFA.  Along with all the soldier and sailors that they commanded.

    @Sebastian: I can trump that (sorry). I recently read an article, in Raw Story I think, about some guy who attended Trump rallies and interviewed attendees.

    Apart from the usual Trump is God’s instrument and his tweets are a secret code only true believers can understand, one person he spoke to blurted out that the Clintons ate children. This was the purpose of their Foundation, to go to trouble spots and smuggle out kids for Bill and Hillary’s culinary pleasure. Her friends nodded seriously, in agreement. He didn’t think they were having him on.

    RWNJs like Glenn Beck who wave their pocket Constitutions furiously and secretly wish they could hump the American flag like their president are infuriated that they are losing “their” (ie, fascist) America.

    Beck has predicted that “his” America and “his” and similar radio programs will end if Biden is elected. One can only fervently hope. //

    @Hunter Gathers: I’m here and taking notes. So far, the gardens of vegetables are winning with carrots and potatoes taking the biggest share at #CHOP. Truly, I don’t know how much longer we can go on without more representation from green beans. But I digress.

    Thank you John. I keep waiting for some Journo to start labeling MAGAs Pro-Fa. Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Churchill, the Lincoln Brigade – all card carrying members of the anti-fascist movement. Hitler, Mousolini, Saddam, and Joe McCarthy – charter members of Pro-Fa. That list makes it pretty clear what the poles of this conflict are.

    I’m just saddened that we don’t see more pushback on this inane, inaccurate, and insecure scapegoating of people standing up for democracy. I may not agree with some of their tactics, but we learned the hardest way and a long time ago that fascists never go quietly.

    A guy on Facebook tried to convince me that Antifa were violent terrorists. When challenged he provided video of protesters, who may or may not have been antifa (they weren’t wearing the “black bloc” outfit and most didn’t even have their faces covered), knocking over trash cans and spray painting slogans on the sidewalk. In more than 45 minutes of supposedly shocking antifa violence caught on tape, there was minor property damage and one fist fight between two guys, during which neither was injured badly and both walked away. Honestly, I don’t think the person I was talking to even watched the videos. He just saw the titles, referring to violent antifa protesters, and assumed there would be rampant slaughter in the streets.

    Damn, I do all those things except violently oppose fascists. Apparently I’m slacking
