Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

White supremacy is terrorism.

This blog will pay for itself.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

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

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

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

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Let there be snark.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

I guess the Republicans were all rooting for the undocumented alien to die, and were disappointed when it turned out not to be the movie’s final arc.

Speaking of final arcs, y’all know about Trump’s NEW! EXCLUSIVE! grift social media platform, right? (Well, if *you* had to find something to keep Brad Parscale too busy to talk to reporters, as well as keep TFG occupied during business hours… )

    The goal isn’t to let Trump communicate with the world. The goal is to let Trump think he’s communicating with the world.

    Have I heard correctly that in his decline into senility, Fred Trump was given sheets of blank paper to sign, with his handlers all pretending they were important documents?  Seems like ugly Don is moving in that direction…

    I’ve been told it’s because there weren’t enough banks foreclosing on orphanages in the movie.

    That ET thing. It’s really weird how the GOP is just frozen in the 80s. Not to mention the Alien and the kid are the villains in their version of it.

    New thought: if anyone yells at you to “take off your mask”, take your pants down and moon them. Then turn around and say: “Oh, did you mean my face mask?”

    “Sir” to be inevitably replaced by “Your Honor”, of course.

    I went to the reopening of the San Francisco Symphony tonight.  In the loge opposite me was none other than Madame Speaker Pelosi.  She was very attentive during the whole 75-minute performance, interrupted only once by an aide who handed her a phone.

    But I guess we already knew she was a good listener.

    It’s because their beginnings are in the Reagan era. It’s like evangelicals with evolution; it was a really big deal at their founding, so they can never let go of it.

    @Redshift:

    Conservatives have been like this for a very much longer time. It just started to become more noticeable in the 80s. Reality is that they have always wanted the same things they do today, it was just more difficult to hear about it because they didn’t say the bad parts out loud – and Reagan brought out the worst in them. But now they understand that they can say the bad parts out loud because there is press, TV and “news” suppliers who yell the quite crap every day.

    “Webzine” never did stick. In some circles I refer to my blog as “my website”.

    Embarrassing none-the-less, bastard probably gets more traffic than I do …

    Re: Trump’s social media platform (blog, w/o comments by readers), yesterday a new account popped up on Twitter, something like “From the Desk of Donald Trump,” and started posting his shit from his blog. Twitter users started complaining to various Twitter policy and security accounts, and when I checked back a few hours later, the new account had been deleted by Twitter. This whackamole is gonna happen probably every day now as Trump and allies try to get stuff on Twitter. FWIW, there is not an option you can select to report such policy violations on Twitter. You would think they would provide an option for something like that, but, nope. Not there

    CNN tells me that Rep Buddy Carter (Liar-GA) has filed a formal complaint against Rep Zoe Lofgren (D-America) for “disparagement” because she had the gall to collect Rethug tweets supporting the Seditionists, and posted them along with Section 3 of the 14th Amendment (which prohibits anyone who has engaged in “insurrection or rebellion,” from serving in Congress). It seems she did not explicitly call for the Traitors to be expelled, but the Rethug Constitution apparently says, in Amendment 37, that “Republican fee-fees must not be hurt, nor their traitorous behaviors exposed.”

    I believe I heard something like that as well.  Also that one time, TFG tried to slip in a new will that left the majority of the estate to him.

    I’m going to need receipts on this recent gloat. Former Guy does not pay his bills, so some web developer may have billed #45 a high six figures, but likely has not collected. I mean, Michael Cohen’s checkbook isn’t available anymore. Who paid? And what did they pay? And when did they know they paid?

    @HeartlandLiberal:  Yes, you can set up Twitter accounts which automatically post things from outside sources. For example, I follow such an account which reposts pictures of an adorable cat from another site. Trump’s site is set up so his posts are just right for re-posting to Twitter in hopes of circumventing his much-deserved ban. Twitter will be playing Whack-A-Mole as TFG’s handlers keep trying new accounts for re-posting.

    IIUC they have icons for reposting TFG’s posts to Twitter, Facebook, etc.

    Surely Twitter and Facebook can build a detector to test new posts to see if the dupilcate posts on Trump’s web page!!

    I won’t be visiting TFG’s blog, no clicks from me nor mine!!

    Thanks for that link Billin, I don’t recall dates that well, only recall 3 birthdays at the moment, mine, Wife’s and lil Brother’s… so without your reminder I would be oblivious to this anniversary.

    Surely a wonderful moment in the history of science, and so glad Alan Shepard got to land on the Moon later on, after taking the very risky first flight on what was more or less just a military weapon.

    Like getting shot out of a very large cannon ala Jules Verne, almost. And given this photo, linked from your link, how can anyone buy into the Flat Earth conspiracy!??

    so TFG has been taken out to the social media version of ‘the farm’ where he gets to play with all the other doggies nice ex-presidents?
    Here’s a question that will drive him bonkers. How many followers does he have on his new, exclusive social media account?
