Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Let there be snark.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Cole is on a roll !

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Let’s finish the job.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Republicans don’t trust women.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Late Night Open Thread: Project (No) Veritas Releases Another Wet Phart

There’s so much competition in the right-wing grift market these days, JOKeefe and his buddies are reduced to doing publicity for a local-market (ex) Fox weatherbimbo. SAD!

… Fox 26 vice president and news director Susan Schiller told Hecker she “failed as a reporter” because she kept promoting hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug hyped by former President Donald Trump as a Covid-19 cure that was found to be largely ineffective against the coronavirus.

“You need to cease and desist posting about hydroxychloroquine,” Schiller told Hecker, who covered Dr. Stella Immanuel as a victim of “mass censorship.” Immanuel made headlines last year as a hydroxychloroquine advocate that also alleged alien DNA was being used in medical treatments and that some illnesses are caused by sex with demons…

No Wingnut Wurlitzer worker will ever go hungry, but I still wonder: Does Jimmy Felon get a cut of her YouTube proceeds, or is it just for the love of the ‘game’?

    Speaking of grift, WSJ has some interesting details of Stewart Rhoades expenses for the Oath Keepers

    Bank records reviewed by the Journal show thousands of dollars of Oath Keepers funds spent on goods and services near the town in Montana where Mr. Rhodes lived until recently, including at an auto-repair shop ($12,424), pet store ($83.50), dentist ($504), bar ($886), gun store ($9,974) and a lingerie and adult-goods shop called Alley Katz Nighties N Naughties ($229). The group also spent money on phone games ($275) and at an online perfume shop Fragrancenet.com ($256).

    Oh, my… I’ll bet he is stunning in his special ‘Naughties’. Money well spent.

    When does the grift ever end? A recent Opening Arguments podcast revealed the scam that is Christian Healing Ministries: essentially health insurance without any regulation.

    And they create their own marks by steering the Republican Faithful away from anything that works…

    A Houston doctor who praises hydroxychloroquine and says that face masks aren’t necessary to stop transmission of the highly contagious coronavirus has become a star on the right-wing internet.

    ***

    Before Trump and his supporters embrace Immanuel’s medical expertise, though, they should consider other medical claims Immanuel has made—including those about alien DNA and the physical effects of having sex with witches and demons in your dreams.

    Immanuel, a pediatrician and a religious minister, has a history of making bizarre claims about medical topics and other issues. She has often claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches.

    She alleges alien DNA is currently used in medical treatments, and that scientists are cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious. And, despite appearing in Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress on Monday, she has said that the government is run in part not by humans but by “reptilians” and other aliens.

    The incompetence is staggering.

    You would think Dump and his henchmen would do a background check or a simple google search to prevent such a stunt from blowing up in their faces. The problem was Dump spent decades dealing with NYC tabloids and celebrity gossip outlets, who by nature don’t want to debunk salacious and outrageous claims, and he got used to no one checking on his patently ludicrous statements.

    The woman in the picture at the top does not look like the woman in the last picture. Are there 2 Ivory Heckers in the world or did she dye her hair, get a nose job, and lost 40 pounds?

    You can bet he sings a very sexy Happy Birthday Mr. Soviet Shitpile Mobster Conman.

    @mrmoshpotato: Did you see the clip of Trump’s birthday party, with his associates singing Happy Birthday but stumbling over what to call him, finally settling haltingly on Mister President, and Melania was conspicuous by her absence. Kimberly Guilfoyle was there, just no Melania. I didn’t notice his kids there, either, but I wasn’t looking for them. Jimmy Kimmel has the clip.

      The woman in the top photo is the news director who told the “singing” Dump cult member in the bottom photo to stop pushing the quack drug and witch doctor on air.

    @opiejeanne: No.  But thanks for letting me know.  I’ll know to avoid it. :)

    ETA – ?Happy Birthday, you Soviet shit!  Everyone hates us now!?

    “muzzling”, what a curious word to use. My employer has a very clear social media policy, and enforces it: you post bad things, you get a phone call. You keep posting bad things, you come up to the office to explain yourself. If you still keep posting bad things, you get canned, and earn the privilege of finding employment elsewhere. As an employee, you get a choice at each step.

    The word I believe she was reaching for was “consequences,” a concept that is apparently foreign to the Trumpistas.

    I guess I should add zerO’Qeffe to my notional Three-Group Group…though in his case one would need to pump an extra clip magazine‘s worth of slugs into the hips to ventilate the hindbrain and keep it from making more bullshit videos…

    Why is it that the right-wingers make the smarmiest, most saccharine music in the world? It’s like the Archies, as millenials.
