Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

Come on, man.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

The lights are all blinking red.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Consistently wrong since 2002

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

We will not go back.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

This, on the other hand, is great news.

A new Harstad Research poll in Alaska finds Al Gross (I) edging Sen. Dan Sullivan (R) in the U.S. Senate race, 47% to 46%.

    Peters is the most nondescript Senator, though a good one. I think he has the highest “no opinion” percentage in the approval polls.

    I wanted to make some donations, but prefer to remain anonymous.  I looked a few weeks back, it seemed like ActBlue and other online sites passed your ID along, even when not legally required. (under $50 limit, or maybe $20 limit?)

    Some people suggested faking info, but that seemed shaky to me.  Maybe illegal, maybe it would throw the money in never-never land after not passing checks deeper in the system.

    I think you can donate cash, in person, under the limit legally.  But that gets difficult during COVID.

    Of course, maybe that would kill two birds with one stone. Canada would let me in to travel directly to Alaska, I could go slowly, on foot & canoe and make a two year journey of it.  But Al Gross wouldn’t get his twenty until next election cycle.

    @D Gardner: As did I.  Always liked Peters even before this election cycle.  Maybe with the election of Biden, the country will redevelop a visible liking of politicians who are sane, calm, and rational.

    That’s why I also like Doug Jones, even though with 2 races in my own state that’s where the bulk of my money has gone.

    Maybe the Gary Peters thermo should be set for $35K? Or at least 30?

    I’m almost done to budget for the cycle (but tipped in for Peters again just now). Just spent two days crunching numbers. I’ve got airline miles out the wazoo — which some day I’ll get to use.

    I’m at just under 55% state legislative and local races, slightly above plan, but I’m good with that. I’m excited to see what can be done as progressive folk have discovered that funding down-ballot and not just Potus will do for our struggling, battered democracy.
