Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

An almost top 10,000 blog!

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

    Since Trump doesn’t care whether the government works – he may even want the opposite – I half expect that after he loses, he’ll fire everyone he can, probably using them as scapegoats for the loss.  “I would have won if Barr had told the truth about Obama spying on me” and so on.

    I’d have to say this would be a net positive, since having no-one in the office has to be better than having someone monkey-wrenching everything they can find.  Also it will hamper their efforts to destroy evidence.

    Schadenfreude alert. Washington Post Conservative Hack (but I repeat myself) Henry Olsen:

    Trump’s flailing campaign is starting to look a lot like Jeb Bush’s

    One of the most defining political achievements of President Trump’s 2016 campaign was his utter humbling of a rival once seen as the front-runner, former Florida governor Jeb Bush. That’s why it’s especially ironic that Trump’s flailing reelection bid increasingly resembles Bush’s epic plane crash of a campaign.
    The signature moment of comparison came Tuesday at a Trump rally in Johnstown, Pa., where Trump implored suburban women to “please like me.” It echoed the sorry moment that epitomized Bush’s campaign, when he asked his audience to “please clap” during one of his stump speeches.

    Fast-forward to today. Now, it’s Trump who started with a strong cash position and momentum. Before the pandemic hit, Trump had survived everything Democrats had thrown at him and was reaching new heights in job approval (they were still historically low, to be fair, but they were close to the level he needed to win a majority in the electoral college). With the world largely at peace and a record tight domestic labor market, it was easy to see how Trump could gain strength as the year progressed.

    There’s only one thing left for Trump to do to complete the metamorphosis into his foe. Bush’s logo — featuring an exclamatory “Jeb!” — was a much-derided way to avoid his last name, which carried negative connotations for the party’s hard right. Trump’s campaign is similarly attempting to whip up enthusiasm for his personal brand. It might as well borrow inspiration from Bush, and adopt the logo that highlights the reason for its likely embarrassing defeat: “Trump!”

    Olsen shilled for Trump for a long while, so chalk him up under “rat abandoning sinking ship”.

    This isn’t going to keep me up at night, but if Barron had Covid, I wonder about his grandparents, with whom he lives and who are certainly in the higher risk for complications group.

    Like I said, this isn’t a major worry of mine. More of a passing curiousity, and it’s already passed. Bye-bye.

    Trump only picks the top best people, so interesting that all the top best people end up, in Trump’s eyes, performing poorly, or betraying him, or disrespecting him.

    Barr may be trimming to hedge his bets if this election turns into a wipe-out, and Trump isn’t happy about that at all.

    Good thing that Trump makes his flunkies’ jobs so difficult. And that goes for people like McConnell who probably aren’t Trump flunkies but operators who to some extent think they can use Trump for their purposes. I don’t understand why McConnell is given such a free pass by the corporate news media. If anyone can inform me, please do so.

    McConnell may be trying to dump Trump and save a GOP Senate as best he can, but doesn’t look like a winning strategy. I’ve read that he is trying to cut his losses and set up Biden for failure, but that seems desperate to me. I’ve read that McConnell can’t control the crazier GOP Senators, who are inspired by Trump’s nuttiness, and the worst thing for McConnell is public knowledge he is not a Master of the Universe, but a political thug who is in a very tight spot, and his only and best move is more obstruction and dishonesty.

    Edit: to  clarify, the desperation I am talking about is GOP Senate being the hard ‘no’ on more covid relieve, not the Pelosi/Mnuchin negotiations. If the corporate media decides to report that important fact, and bothers to ask McConnell about it, it won’t look good, and would be good for maybe a couple of Democratic Senate seats.

    @jl:

    I can’t remember who said this originally, but the reason McConnell is given a pass is that he isn’t embarrassed by how he operates. He will break every rule and take every opening and have no regrets. So if he’s pressured, he’s happy to say “yeah, I did that and am proud of it” or if the politics suit him just lie and say whatever will help his cause. It’s that immunity from embarrassment that makes him hard for the media to pin down, because they have a general rule that you always go to the subject of a piece for a comment rather than just running a piece that takes the subject of the piece down from an objective standpoint.

    @Elizabelle:

    This is a Cleo activity, for sure.  Lovey snores too loud and Koda won’t go upstairs to my office. Cleo hangs up there with me.  She is a quiet kitty who will drape herself on my neck and purr while I watch and listen and laugh my ass off.

    I hope they recorded the reunion in Dublin!

    @Just Chuck:

    Barr looks like he has a big sad.  Well, he always looks like that, but now he has a big sad bus coming at him and he’s going to be under its big sad wheels.  So sad.

    I dunno why, but I feel like this is making me laugh *way* too hard.

    Then again – I mean, fuck it, it’s Bill Barr, he deserves all the scorn, derision, and bad juju that’s coming his way.

    @debbie: “No one knew…who they were…or what…they were doing there.”

    I was sorely tempted by this one. I love how Hollywood is coming together to do such fun fundraisers for the Democrats – not only an insanely great way to raise money, but a giant FU to Trump. It’s got to gall him to the shallows of his shriveled little soul that Hollywood and Broadway and the music biz all despise him.

    @Ken:

    Trump in a dunking booth could be done virtually as a prison sentence. He’ll be obligated to climb back into the perch every time he’s dunked, and the tank is 6 feet deep so he has to get on his toes to keep his mouth out of the water, which is only changed every third day. He could get a 5 minute food break every 4 hours, along with a 5 hour sleep break.  He’ll be in his customary navy suit, white shirt and red tie, which he’ll be allowed to change into another similar suit once a week.

    Dunks can be purchased for $1000 apiece, proceeds to go toward hiring people at the IRS enforcement division and the SEC.

    @Jeffro:

    I can’t write the list from memory, but there’s a really long bullet list of people who worked for Trump and are now convicted felons, which would be a good mix with all the investigations of Democrats that resulted in no charges…

    Just saying!

    @Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes: make it a sliding scale of fees so that the average person can afford it, with fees ramping up for the upper middle class.
