Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.
Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.
We will not go back.
Their freedom requires your slavery.
They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.
’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’
They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.
Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.
Come on, man.
Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.
Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.
Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.
Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.
We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.
Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.
American history and black history cannot be separated.
If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.
Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.
Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.
You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
In after Baud. Damn.
Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.
The gop is a fucking disgrace.

I’m sure Stephanopoulos will grill him about why he hasn’t done something sooner.

@zhena gogolia: Yeah, why hasn’t he issued any Executive Orders, what’s the hold up Joe! //
MisterForkbeard
@zhena gogolia: I think he’s definitely going to get a “Why didn’t you solve this entire problem as VP 5 years ago?”
The answer (of course) is that Dems have been trying to do something about this for years and have gotten absolutely nowhere with Republicans, who deny that climate change is even happening. But now it’s an emergency and it can’t wait any longer for Mitch to start paying attention.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: forget EO’s! Why hasn’t Joe reached across the aisle to Republicans to get some laws passed that will actually help the heartland already! What a disappointment

Princess Ivanka was in the area today. Don’t care what lies she spread about her moron dad, or who she was speaking to.

Has anyone read report on CDC wacko Caputo? This guy is insane. No joking.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@EthylEster: Yes, he’s batcrap crazy.
John Revolta
@EthylEster: His wackohood becomes more understandable when you learn that he lived in Russia for six years, doing PR work for one V. Putin.

@EthylEster:
I put up some long excerpts from the NYTimes Caputo story in thread with Claire McCaskill video. https://balloon-juice.com/2020/09/14/this-president-is-a-stupid-president/
We also spent a lot of time discussing the South Dakota Attorney General, who did not hit a deer.
Elizabelle
@John Revolta: And he drove for Roger Stone for a while. Also supported Carl Paladino, a NY State whack job.
I am amazed that Caputo has not taken medical leave by this hour. His comments are indefensible, and nuts even for this shitshow of an administration.
Baud
@zhena gogolia:
“You say climate change is a significant crisis, yet you frequently talk about racial justice. How do you explain the inconsistency?”
Jim, Foolish Literalist
@MisterForkbeard:
I sometimes think that in 1992, Poppy Bush mocked Al Gore as “Ozone Man”, and in 2000, a bunch of assholes told me Gore was a climate hypocrite because he lived in a big house and his mother owned stock in Occidental Petroleum

@Baud: “Surely you are not claiming that your administration can work on two things at the same time, when that feat has completely escaped the combined intellects of Donald Trump and Jared Kushner?”
Salty Sam
There is an R next to his name, ergo…
John Revolta
@Elizabelle: I agree. If they let this stuff go by, thereby approving of it, there’s no telling what’s gonna come next.

Hell, shitforbrains and shitforbrains II can’t work on one thing at a time. Work – actual thought and process is about as far beyond them as the moon is from you right now.

Here is a link to the lengthy thread you posted over there. It was good.

@Starfish: Thank you, Starfish.

I noticed that Fox News’s presidential approval poll just suddenly switched from “in line with most other polls” to “in line with Rasmussen”. I don’t think they’ve done that in a while–had regarded their polls as the only trustworthy part of the organization.

I like the subtlety of the video background. Blue in one corner, and the gradient flows not into red, but purple. Nice.
