Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Books are my comfort food!

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Election Year Horrorshow Open Thread: These Are Not Serious People

Potentially dangerous, yes — but not serious.

This was not a last-minute “response” rally; it was scheduled in advance of the Biden/Buttigieg/Klobuchar lovefest tonight:


I checked the ‘donate’ link; the funds go to Bernie, through Williamson’s account — I assume she takes a percentage, but I’m a cynic that way. But the rally is credited as “Featuring Spiritual Teacher and Author Marianne Williamson and Bernie’s Daughter Heather Titus, Director of Sedona Yoga Festival,” so I guess it’s a joint grift.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota:

Attract a clown, expect a circus…

Chris Matthews Taps Out

About 45 minutes or so ago, depending on when I hit post, Chris Matthews has retired from MSNBC.

It was so abrupt and sudden and, apparently, unexpected that when they came back from commercial, Chris Kornacki was sitting in front of the camera, looking like he was going to cry, and clearly at a loss for words. He took the show immediately back to another commercial so they could figure out what to do for the rest of the hour.

A lot of people are going to start to opine that Matthews was forced out because of his confusing Jamie Harrison who is running to unseat Senator Graham in South Carolina for Senator Scott, who is the junior senator from South Carolina. Or that his comparing Senator Sanders’ victory in the Nevada caucus to Hitler’s invasion and subsequent occupation of France by going around the gap in the Maginot Line. But the reality is that Laura Bassett’s courage was the coup de grâce.

At the end of last week, Bassett wrote an article and got it published that specifically recounted how Matthews had sexually harassed her on multiple occasions when she was booked on Hardball as a commenter. The safe play for Bassett was to continue to not publicly discuss it, even as many people knew that something had happened according to her recounting events in her article based on an earlier article about a not named cable news host who had harassed her.

Here is Bassett’s response to his resignation:

And here response to his on air apology that was not specifically addressed to her:

Open thread.

Not THAT one: I mean the competition for the  dumbest fucking tweet in the history of blue check marks:

Contest ends...What the goddamn fucking hell? As if any “liberal” outside Haberman’s mama’s PR shop target audience “persona” flipbook ever thought Ivanka Trump was anything other than a vapid shart-stain on the seat of her odious wretch of a father’s ill-fitting golf pants.

She registered as a Republican NOW because she was too stupid to realize she had to change her registration in time to vote for Velveeta Voldemort during the 2016 primary.

And of fucking course she defends Trump on impeachment and goes on Sean Hannity; the entire pack of ravening grift-mavens has moved on from ripping off contractors and defrauding consumers because they managed to sink their sharp and greedy claws into the US Treasury and aren’t eager to have that or their lucrative foreign government shake-down action foreclosed.

Funny how the country’s mightiest metropolitan daily manages to employ such a credulous hack, unable to spot crude cons that wouldn’t get past an elementary school paper. Why it’s almost as if…

Anyhoo. Christ on a crumpet. This makes me want to subscribe just so I can cancel the NYT again.
