Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

T R E 4 5 O N

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

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Let’s finish the job.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Take me to another place

A few of requested we raise money for every single Democrat running for Senate in a seat currently held by Republicans. Here’s a cool one to get behind in Tennessee:

Marquita Bradshaw, an environmental justice advocate who has run her Senate campaign on a shoestring budget, won an upset victory in the state’s Democratic primary on Thursday, brushing aside a party-backed candidate who had significantly out-raised her.

Let’s some money for her:

    It’s an open seat. Her opponent is all in on 45. I say we go for it.

    More to the point, getting ready for Endeavour tonight? I binge-watched the last couple of seasons to get caught up and am rested and ready.

    Are there points for guessing the band for that lyric title?

    @piratedan:

    It’s a good series. Great to binge-watch, because they do that maddening Brit thing where a “season” is four or six episodes and then they have to take a year off to rest up.

    @zhena gogolia:

    I thought it was great, although a tiny bit too neat around the edges. But they’re in good shape to head into the new season.

    Must note that I was sorry to see the departure of WPC Trewlove. She was a great character.

    I saw about her on Twitter after the primary and immediately began donating. She’ll probably get a shout out from Taylor Swift – it didn’t work with the old white guy last time, but hope springs eternal.

    @Steeplejack: Ahem. Six episodes minimum, thank you. Sometimes we even manage eight.  Although we have to have a nice lie-down halfway through.

    @Morticum: Google told me the answer (only vaguely aware of that band/music), but I thought it might have come from this now classic indie rocker song, which I’ve never read the lyrics of until now:
    I know the nervous walking
    I know the dirty beard hangs
    Out by the box car waiting
    Take me away to nowhere plains

    There is a wait so long
    You’ll never wait so long

    Here comes your man
    Here comes your man
    Here comes your man

    @mad citizen: 
    I knew it was Arrested Development right away. The line about climbing the trees their forefathers hung from and asking those trees for all their wisdom hit me the first time I heard it. I never quite saw it as a simple pop/rap song after that.
