Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Books are my comfort food!

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

“woke” is the new caravan.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

When we show up, we win.

Found liable for massive fraud, is required to post a massive bond, gets a break, then files a *fraudulent* bond!

Nothing worth doing is easy.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

I don’t know whether to worry about the consequences of a bunch of untrained suburbanites taking their cue from Young Tucker, Most Dangerous (to His Crew) Gun in the West… or to laugh at the way the Wingnut Wurlitzer is reduced to pew-pew-pew! cosplay, now that their strenuous decades-long project to give ‘The Coloreds and Their Pansy Liberal Supporters Are Coming for You’ scaremongering some respectable legal heft is falling apart on all fronts…

If We Were All in Florida, and There was No Covid, How Would We Celebrate Betty’s Birthday?

If We Were All in Florida, and There was No Covid, How Would We Celebrate Betty's Birthday?

If we were all in Florida, and there was no Covid, how would you want to celebrate Betty’s birthday?

I am torn between hanging out at the tiki bar – and if they don’t have one at the new place yet, we might have to help the Mister build it first – and having a modified Drunken Aunties cookie-making session. Oh, and doing some fun cooking together.  We might have to make it an entire weekend.

The real question, of course, is whether she would have us!

Open thread.
