Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

The revolution will be supervised.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Second rate reporter says what?

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

People are weird.

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

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

    President Trump is headed to Walter Reed Medical Center, according to a White House pool report. NBC News reported on air that Trump is expected to be at Walter Reed for a few days and will work from the offices there.

    .@realdonaldTRUMP WILL MOVE TO A SPECIAL SUITE AT WALTER REED NATIONAL MILITARY MEDICAL CENTER FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. DOCTORS URGED THE MOVE TO WALTER REED SO TRUMP COULD GET IMMEDIATE CARE IF NEEDED -WH OFFICIAL via @steveholland1— Alex Alper (@alexalper) October 2, 2020

    So, we’ve gone from ‘a slight cold’ to ‘feeling fatigue’ to ‘just in case, he’s going to Walter Reed’ in what, about 18 hours.

    I’m glad you’re putting up Biden’s speeches.  All I can think about, is that I hope he and Jill don’t get this bug (knock wood).  I’m neither religious, nor spiritual, nor believe in anything other than what is *here*.  But I can’t stop thinking and hoping.  I guess, it’s what’s classified as “prayer” for a confirmed atheist.

    Ugh.  He’s trying to save our country.  He didn’t have to do this.  I just hope he and Jill come thru unscathed.

    @Baud:

    Thank you, I’ll try. I just think it’s important we keep focused on our GOAL and it’s this sane, compassionate, intelligent man.

    I know it’ll get “trumped” all the time, but at least everyone can come back and listen when they are able.

    I posted this at the tail end of Cole’s most excellent post: Was recalling how Obama started doing the job early post-election to deal with the financial crisis.  Seems Biden will need to start early to deal with…EVERYTHING.

    On the plus side, Trump finally gets to finish that medical exam. Maybe ID some more animal outlines.

    Post:

    The president’s condition worsened Friday, officials said, though they maintained he remained “in good spirits.” The president is struggling with a low-grade fever, a cough and nasal congestion, among other symptoms, said two people familiar with his condition.

    @Baud: Hmm, I thought the fascists were the “at least the trains run on time” guys.  Democrats can afford some flexibility.

    I predict Trump will do exactly as much work when he’s in Walter Reed as he does in the White House. Of course he’ll do as much work when he’s dead and buried as he does in the White House, so that’s not saying much.

    FWIW, they just showed footage of Trump walking out to Marine 1 to go to Walter Reed, and he doesn’t look like someone with severe symptoms. That makes this seem more like they’re taking precautions and/or want him to be in an actual hospital while taking IV medication rather than him being desperately ill.
