Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

When I was faster i was always behind.

So many bastards, so little time.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

He really is that stupid.

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

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

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

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

    A woman who called police and falsely accused an African American man of threatening her life after he asked her to leash her dog in New York city’s Central Park is being criminally charged over the incident.

    Amy Cooper, 41, whose actions on 25 May were recorded in a video that went viral and were widely criticized as an example of everyday racism, is being charged with filing a false report, a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail.

    “Today our office initiated a prosecution of Amy Cooper for falsely reporting an incident in the third degree,” the Manhattan district attorney, Cy Vance, said in a statement. “We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable.”

    A lawyer for Cooper could not immediately be identified. She is expected to be arraigned on 14 October.

    @Sebastian: Insinuating that Tammy Duckworth hates America should help him.

    Imagine a trump or tucker president instead of FDR.   I loathe those people.

    Jeffro

    @Sebastian: I hear you, but even if he’s a ‘smart trumpov’ (weird writing those words in the same sentence), there’s probably a limited appeal to this kind of disgusting nonsense.

     

    On Monday, Carlson went after Duckworth for an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash over the weekend, when the senator suggested a “national dialogue” over whether monuments honoring George Washington should be removed because he owned slaves.

    “When Duckworth does speak in public, you’re reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is,” Carlson said before playing the clip.  The Fox News host then suggested that he is loath to question anyone’s patriotism, saying, “It’s a very strong charge, and we try not ever to make it.”

    “But in the face of all of this, the conclusion can’t be avoided. These people actually hate America,” Carlson said. “There’s no longer a question about that.”  Later in the segment, Carlson argued that “the leaders of today’s Democratic Party … despise this country.”

    So this is what it looks like to follow “no bottom” trumpov all the way down the infinite spiral of depravity, I guess?  Tammy Duckworth hates America – who knew?

    I guess the GOP better break out their stash of purple heart band-aids again, the fuckers.

    @debbie: Cancel culture is calling idiots out on their absolute inane idiocy without being nice about it, otherwise known as, “free speech.”

    Like a bunch of graduating students from State U saying they don’t want to hear Condi Rice rhapsodize about peace in the Middle East during their commencement. They “canceled” her.

    Jeffro

    @debbie: it depends on who you ask about the meaning of ‘cancel culture’.

    To normal people, it’s when a star or corporation or someone in a position of power says or does something so egregiously racist, sexist, or otherwise so completely unacceptable that they lose their sponsor(s), get boycotted, or lose their job.

    To trumpublicans, it’s a dog-whistle phrase with echoes of ‘being replaced’, and all that entails.

    @debbie: I guess I don’t really understand what cancel culture is, but I don’t see Trump employing public shaming, only demonizing.

    It’s like cancelling payment on a check for work performed or services rendered. Oh, wait, that’s what he does.

    It’s actually a way of saying “You’re dead to me.” As with all things social media, sometimes it gets amplified and people lose their jobs or celebrity gigs, which may or may not be an overreaction. DT is trying to claim confederate monuments and his own prez gig are in danger from social media mobs rather than things that never should have happened in the first place.

    Now that Trump has decided to use the term over and over again, the correct answer is that “cancel culture” no longer has any meaning other than as a vague epithet to be tossed at the libs.

    Repeat, ingrain.  “Libs bad, use cancel culture, Trump good.”. Those with the stomach for it can watch implementation on FoxNews.

    Kitchen update! Here with your daily (pleasant) distraction. The floor is absofkinglutely fabulous. Seriously, it is gorgeous. They’re coming back today to put more coating on it, and then I think the cabinets start. They replaced a couple of bad boards that would mostly have lived under cabinets/the sink, which shows the thorough approach they take. Turns out that the dark stain on the (maple) wood was actually the original finish, according to Downstairs Neighbor. The rest of the floors in the place are oak, and my contractor tells me that all buildings of this age did that–oak floors, maple kitchen.

    @Jeffro:

    On Monday, Carlson went after Duckworth for an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash over the weekend, when the senator suggested a “national dialogue” over whether monuments honoring George Washington should be removed because he owned slaves.

    Actually, Duckworth did come across as ducking rather than giving any sort of meaningful answer to Bash’s question.  “National dialogue” may well be an abbreviated way of saying  “people need to talk and work it out to find an acceptable middle ground”, but it nevertheless comes across as a milquetoast non-answer, as if you’re totally afraid of any people you might piss off if you explicitly say any statue of any figure with any impure aspect of their background  should maybe be kept rather than discarded.

    Not that this entitles Tucker Carlson to make an ass-hole out of himself in the way he tried to weaponize this answer against a wounded war veteran.

    I don’t know about you but I think I have a lasting PTSD from the 2016 loss so every time I read something about a “landslide win” or the possibility of winning the senate, I panic. This is why I don’t largely mind when Rose Twitter and allies still talk about how Biden is not viable as a candidate unless he chooses a ‘progressive’ VP. It means, folks won’t gamble with their votes because they think Biden has this in the bag.

    That Tucker Carlson remark about Senator Duckworth hating America is baffling. It is so obviously disgusting and has such an obvious rejoinder that it seems hard to believe that he isn’t deliberately inviting outrage. Am I becoming a conspiracy nut? If it was Donnie who had said it, there would be no need to imagine a motive. It would be a typical reflection of his character. But with the cannier and more disciplined Carlson, could it be an attempt to influence the veep choice, and if so, which way? Or has he decided that the lesson of Trump is that being a pig is the best way to impress the audience (or voters?) he wants? It is a puzzlement.

    Duckworth should have known all political media would talk about were the statues after Trump announced we’d all be talking about the statues. She has an opinion on the statues. She should just say it. There’s wide variation in the D Party on the statues. If she’s closer to Biden on them it’s fine. We’re all over the place on the statues.

I wouldn’t be surprised if not only they lose 4 of these seats in 2020 (GOP electorate has an antipathy to women and women have an antipathy to Trump), but it reeks of a hidden assumption: that McConnell will cruise to victory in his own seat.

    by their fruits ye shall know them.

    What a despicable piece of offal~!~

    She remained in the NG after being shot down and nearly killed!!

    Despite her grievous injuries, she sought and obtained a medical waiver that allowed her to continue serving as a lieutenant colonel in the Illinois Army National Guard along with her husband…
