Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Peak wingnut was a lie.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Petty moves from a petty man.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

MOTU motherfuckers like Jamie Dimon are so high on their own farts that they think that there’s an audience for this kind of bullshit outside of the other one percenters participating in their invisible hand circle jerk. There isn’t – taxing the rich is pretty fucking popular, and AOC’s response is a good pattern for Democrats.

    Does anyone who is not on the Morning Joe circuit give a fuck about what Jamie Dimon thinks about anything?

    Where would Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan be had the taxpayers not bailed them out in 2008?

    The only important “laundry list” is the list of demands Nancy Pelosi failed to give Hank Paulson when he got down on his knees and begged her to let the House pass that bailout. A true failed turning point with far-reaching and terrible consequences.

    @WaterGirl: Nope. I was yelling about in real time too. It was perfectly obvious the D’s Had the banks and the Bush Adminitration by the short hairs. They would have agreed to anything in order to pass that emergency bailout.

     AOC’s response is a good pattern for Democrats.

    Which is exactly why a lot of us like her. For all the complaints, she’s as good as anyone in the business at converting abstract political concepts into something ordinary people can understand and at getting people to pay attention as she does it. We desperately need more of that.

    AOC will never not be good at this kind of strategic response. More like this please!

    We’re trying to have a fire outside tonight and it’s too windy.  I’m basically just smoking myself.  It’s pathetic.

    @MomSense: that’s not the point.

     

    1. Dimon and his bank deserved to go broke, and had their bacon saved. He has no grounds to lecture anyone about anything.

    2. Had Dems insisted on, e.g., nationalization and recapitalization of failed Wall Street Banks (what FDR did), the GOP was in no position to object.

    Meh.  She has a lot of skill and potential but it’s often misdirected.  Biden outperformed her in her own district.

    @MomSense: his stockholders would too, you’re right about that.

    The economy would have been shielded by a Federal takeover- just as it is when regular commercial banks go broke and get taken over. Do you panic when the FDIC has to take over a bank?

    She has a lot of skill and potential

    Right, but it’s a model for others to follow.  A frequent problem with less progressive candidates isn’t necessarily that they are less progressive, but that they often sound not so confident and mealy mouth. She’s very good at demonstrating how to be sharp, especially on social media.

    @MomSense: oh I see. FDR was an emo Prog in creating the FDIC and nationalizing failed banks.

    @MomSense: in an effort not to have this comment section continue to go off the rails, can we agree that Jamie Dimon has no standing to lecture anyone about federal stimulus payments and spending?

    Does anyone who is not on the Morning Joe circuit give a fuck about what Jamie Dimon thinks about anything?

    Nope. Probably not even those on the Morning Joe circuit.

    The statement Dimon made could have been noted here. Would have saved a little time. Looking at it, my first thought was that his musings are irrelevant. Second and subsequent thoughts as well.

    I bet Republican goofballs are going to pick this up and try to run with it.

    A new federal court filing adds charges to the case of Derrick Evans, the newly-elected West Virginia lawmaker accused of surging into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

    Evans, who resigned his seat in the state House of Delegates after being charged, now faces four counts…. Source

    There were a lot of very talented and capable Democratic Representatives elected in 2018. None of them started out with the fame and celebrity that accompanied Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY).  Some are as good at communication as she is, maybe better. But if Veronica Escobar (TX) or Lauren Underwood (IL) said something about  Jaime Dimon that was as incisive as what Ocasio-Cortez said, would we even hear about it?
