Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Come on, man.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

REPUBLICANS KNOW WHAT THEY LIKE — SLAUGHTER!

By the end of the month, Loeffler will be walking around in one of these [NSFW] ‘masks‘, for the lulz.

And she still won’t have sunk as low as her Dear Leader this week:

    Attila the Hun tried and failed to conquer Persia, Constantinople, and Rome, settled for plundering the smaller cities and rural areas in between the major centres of power, and left his empire on the verge of collapse when he died. Even the Western Roman Empire outlasted him.

    I can see the resemblence to the modern Republican party.

    Kelly Loeffler is married to the guy who owns the New York Stock Exchange. She never held public office in her life until last year when she was crowned a US Senator by Brian *spit* Kemp, who appointed himself Gov. of Georgia, also last year. Y’all probably know this stuff, but I feel it can’t be said enough.

    These are the kinds of people we’re dealing with.

    Where does the BLM anti-semitism in Kelly’s tweet come from? (At guess I’d say her fevered mind, but who knows?)

    @John Revolta: Ironically, I read at the time of Loeffler’s appointment that Brian Kemp had noted the purple trend in Georgia that helped Lucy McBath flip a suburban Atlanta congressional seat held by republicans for decades, and almost put Stacy Abrams in the Governor’s mansion. So Kemp appointed Loeffler, hoping to shore up support among the suburban women he needs for reelection in 2022. Now Loeffler and Doug Collins are in a race to the MAGA bottom, thoroughly trashing each other on the way down. Not good for Georgia republicans, and not good for Kemp.

    @Sally: that’s a possibility that didn’t come to mind. RWNJs project like lighthouses, none more so than the conspiracy nut job in chief.

    @Geminid: Hopefully Warnock has a chance for a runoff, because the contrast would be amazing.   That is by no means assured because it could be Collins and Loeffler.   We’d have to wait two years to unseat the whacko.

    A nightmare woke me at 3:30 am .   In my dream, trump and barr attempted to toss out the votes of those in Seattle, Portland and NYC because they are anarchists.   Also Barrett wants to go after our birth control.   Either is a possibility though.

    Black Lives Matter = Black Panthers = Nation of Islam = Anti-Semitic

    Deeply ingrained cognitive grooves allow a surprising amount of unconnected shit to flow downriver to their mouths.

    I am almost certain someone in Loeffler’s campaign confused Genghis Khan, who did attack China, with Attila the Hun, who emphatically did not. “Destroying western civilization” is not something the GOP usually boasts about.

    What Have The Romans Ever Done for Us?

    30 Rock predicted the modern Republican Party a decade ago in Brooklyn Without Limits with candidate Steve Austin (played by John Slattery).

    Toward the end of the episode he debuts the new national anthem he wrote which goes: Ooga Booga big! Ooga Booga strong! I’m gonna sing my Ooga Booga song! It’s Steve Austins all the way down now.

    In my memory hole, the phrase ” somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun” has never been a good thing.

    How times change.

    It’s a dead heat in Iowa as a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden locked in a tie just six weeks to Election Day.
    Forty-seven percent of likely voters say they would support Trump for president, and 47% say they would support Biden. Another 4% would vote for someone else and 3% are unsure.

    Ha! Trump won it last time by NINE. This one is funny too because it’s men versus women. Trump has a huge advantage with men across the board and Biden has the same with women.

    @rikyrah:

    Devil’s Avocadoing for the thought processes that would lead your average Foxified Gooper to easily equate BLM with anti-Semitism.

    I could have shortened it to ‘Those People’ are all alike.

    @Kay: Men vs. women. In John’s thread, people are worrying about being vulnerable if Trump loses. Probably the people most likely to be harmed are women who live with abusive Trump men who suspect they voted for Biden.

    Enhanced Voting Techniques

    @Princess: I am almost certain someone in Loeffler’s campaign confused Genghis Khan,

    Well except the Mongols spared people who knew how to do things like scribes and massacred the peasants. Hmm actually, that still works for the modern GOP.

    @JPL: Well spotted. “We don’t count votes from anarchist jurisdictions because, being lawless places, all the votes are tampered with and invalid”.

    Which would be why Barr named the very places you mentioned, as ‘anarchist jurisdictions’ (which I don’t think has any legal meaning at all).

    Of course they are already preparing to try that. Would it work? UHHHHH that’s a whole other question. Just because some asshole is fixing to try something truly outrageous does not mean he will  succeed.

    This is why we have a Lincoln Project. The Trump people are trying to stampede their OWN PEOPLE past what would normally be a line. They’re stomping all over things conservatives normally treat with sanctity, like military dead and electoral process. Republicans are used to assuming that it’s US who violate all that stuff, but they’re being jockeyed into violating it themselves twice as hard, and not all of them play along.
