Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Infrastructure week. at last.

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

    Thoughts and prayers is what they always say after the school or work place shootings, right?

    The guy running Cain’s twitter stream spit out this, less than 24 hours ago:

    Our government, and our media, have incinerated their credibility. So, is it any wonder that people are skeptical? #Coronavirus

    So, great minds and all that.

    Shall I delete the bigfoot? Or is the picture worth keeping on the blog?

    I know you’ve got more important stuff that worry about your twitter account when your family member is in the ICU battling COVID-19 but the stuff posted by whoever is in charge of Herman Cain’s twitter account is asking for a bitchslap from COVID19. I don’t understand why you would either shut it down or just ask for prayers/positive thoughts etc.

    @PPCLI:

    Our government [has] incinerated their credibility.

    Um.

    Okay.

    So.

    Um.

    Has he noticed…

    I mean, is he aware…

    If I were to ask him who is currently the President of the United States…

    You know, I’ll start over.

    @Mai naem mobile: Maybe the staffer is paid by the tweet?

    I have to think every member of Cain’s team saw the writing on the wall at least a couple of weeks ago, and they’ve been updating their resumes, searching for a new position, and grabbing as much loot as they can on the way out the door.

    I don’t really care- do you? The GOP is a death cult but I’m not going down with them…. plus if Republicans die from Covid but their deaths spare innocents- then isn’t it a net benefit?

    @PPCLI: That would be the same bunch who a day or so prior claimed their boss was doing well and regaining his strength, but just on O2 to help the process. Literally whistling past the old guy’s grave.

    In an effort to preserve my soul,  I won’t piss on his grave…… Today.  I am still attempting to be a decent human being at least a couple days a week.   The struggle is real…..

    This guy should have walked off the national stage after the Primary he lost.  Sticking around to promote tRump actually besmirched his already tenuous status as a conservative Eminence Gris.  Shutting up would have been the smart move

    @Jerzy Russian: Just to clarify, did he die with Covid-19 or of Covid-19?

    I am hoping there will be an entire sub-court of the Truth and Retribution Commission that devotes itself to the people who pushed that phrasing.

    I don’t care about being a good person anymore. I’m glad he’s dead and I hope more of these dangerous morons follow. They’ve been doing all they can to destroy civilization, so the fewer of them the better.

    @Jess: Seconded. I have a ten year old and a three month old who’s futures I care about too much to feel anything but lingering contempt for all of these monsters. If that makes me a monster as well, so be it.

    I do not understand people who are willing to put their lives at risk for Trump.

    @Yutsano: If it’s a certain Berlin band, then the German shouldn’t be too taxing for non-speakers. It is interesting that ice hockey almost rivals football in a few cities (I suppose the in the east because it was quite popular behind the Iron Curtain) but what I find interesting is  that the difference in Bundesliga arena sizes for hockey (and in some places – basketball) is quite large – and for regular first division teams, not just the ones that get promoted up and then relegated on a regular basis. Munchen Red Bulls plays in a 5k capacity shed (although they are building something a bit bigger) – Berlin in a proper arena. Shows how wildly inconsistent the following is across the country for sports outside football.

    So does anyone wanna weigh in on whether when Herman Cain asks St. Peter if he can come on through the Pearly Gates into Heaven St. Pete says yes or tells him “Nein, Nein, Nein”?

    I believe he sent that first tweet a couple of days after getting his positive CV19 test. He knew, and tried to take others down with him.

    @Yutsano: if you go on radiooooo.com, you can listen to whatever genre you want, from whatever country (as long as they have it in their database) – you can choose from ‘slow’, ‘fast’ or ‘weird’. and they are serious about weird

    @laura: That made my day, thanks for the laugh. Used to hang out with a band in Minneapolis, this brings back a flood of memories.

    It’s okay – in the early part of this COVID-19  farce (i.e. early March), once the US gov’t realised that the majority of dead were POC, then it was time to relax and start to open up the beaches and the bars –  Herman Cain is just part of the trend – i.e. whoah! we Repugs don’t need POC legislators anymore!!  Just watched President Obama’s eulogy for John Lewis – I am in despair for what is lost – i.e. an articulate and compassionate leader – even if you don’t agree with everything 44-Obama did – 45-the next one is just appalling/embarrasing and out to lunch …

    @Laura Too: Speaking of flood of memories, I sure do miss your wonderful uncle Schlemazel and wish he were here to weigh in on the events of the day. His passing brought you to the blog and that’s a big blessing right there. I’ve admired your activism and reportage from the streets of Minneapolis and am glad to share your name. Solidarity sister?

    @laura: On the off chance you see this, thanks! Funny, a post on Facebook had a wonderful picture of my uncle, aunt, husband and I at a Cajun crawfish boil. I miss him a lot. I appreciate your kindness, and you are why I am Too. :)
