Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

It’s a doggy dog world.

If you’re looking for someone who’s young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.

White supremacy is terrorism.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

I was promised a recession.

“They not like us!” (that’s for sure!)

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

    Trump on who shot Ashli Babbitt: “I’ve heard also that it was the head of security for a certain high official. A Democrat. It’s gonna come out.”

    Maria Bartiromo strongly hints that someone associated with Chuck Schumer shot Ashli Babbitt. Completely irresponsible stuff.

    @Edmund Dantes:

    Maria Bartiromo:

    And I want to talk about that because Ashli Babbitt, a wonderful woman, fatally shot on January 6th as she tried to climb out of a broken window. Her family has spoken out, her family has been on Tucker Carlson and they want answers as far as why this wonderful woman, young woman, who went to peaceful protest was shot.

    She was not climbing out of anything. It was not a peaceful protest. Somebody needs to go on the air and call Bartiromo a liar.

    Not sure any of these folks are going to be able to escape from the fuckton of lawsuits heading their way.

    Not in the National Parks(but National Forest), but I took a hike yesterday.  Suggested by commenter, Bishop Bag and featured in a OTR last July by dmbeaster, I hiked up to Long Lake in Little Lakes Valley with a few other photographers.  Absolutely stunning scenery.

    I’m still puzzling over the fact that Sterling, Grealish, Stones, Rice, Shaw weren’t in the penalty queue.

    I’m still puzzling over the fact that Sancho, Bellingham and Rashford weren’t on the pitch for a large chunk of the second half, but what do I know?

    @HumboldtBlue:

    I don’t know how these things are decided. Is there a standard five that each team uses for PKs or is it a game to game type decision?

    @James E Powell:

    That’s like asking if the chef has a special sauce for the quick-fired delicate fish filet.

    Generally, the team sets up a roster for penalties. How and why they do it is in the secret sauce.

    James E Powell

    @HumboldtBlue: 

    Not at all. I was just wondering if the five would be pretty much set – best five at PKs – or if it’s more about matchups, who’s hot, etc.

    Like if it were baseball & you were going to put five guys up to see who could hit a home run, the five would vary somewhat from one game to the next, but some guys would always be in the five, others would never be. You get what I mean?

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: The pictures of Little Lakes Valley on the web look spectacular.  Even the trailhead looks beautiful.  There are so many places that would be National Parks if they were in the Eastern US.  Lucky for you!

    @Tony Jay:
    I’m still baffled that Jordan Henderson didn’t start the match. He’s not the most gifted player in the England squad (or the Liverpool squad, come to that) but he’s miles better at on-pitch organisation and leadership than anyone in Southgate’s preferred starting XI.

    Let’s hope not!  Because holy shit, Batman!  These fuckers are deranged.  And Faux “News” is the sanest one of these nut job networks these days!

    @Edmund Dantes: Trump shot Ashli by sending her and other brainless idiots to storm the Capitol. He’s to blame for the mayhem and deaths which occurred during his insurrection. Democrats need to subpoena him to testify at the House investigation. We should be calling January 6th “Trump’s Insurrection”.

    @James E Powell:

    I nominate both Rachel Maddow and Don Lemmon ASAP. This must not be allowed to fester.

    P.S. It’s on every video of the scene that she was trying to climb INTO, not OUT OF anywhere.

    @HumboldtBlue: If you’re not planning on having Sterling be part of your top five for PKs, then he needs to come off for Rashford with at least 10 minutes to go in the OT. Dumping subs on with 2 minutes to go was definitely a managerial fail.

    But the reality was England wasn’t playing to win for most of the game; Southgate had them playing not to lose. No wonder they had three guys miss their PKs. Waited too long to bring Grealish in and had very little creativity in the attack (and this England team has so much attacking talent it’s ridiculous).

    Still and all, this is a young England team overall and has the potential for a deep run at World Cup.

    @David ? ☘The Establishment☘? Koch: No. if you go and watch the exchange and he Bartimo have they directly reference Schumer at one point. Then trump keeps doing a wink wink nudge nudge I am not saying names. But too Democrat leader. Oh his team hasn’t responded to your questions about who shot her? They are protecting a top Dem leader. It was their security detail head. Wonder why he won’t reply.

    They know exactly what they are doing.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: Its one of the great locations for a day hike in the Sierra.  Trailhead at 10,000.  Several gorgeous lakes immediately.  Very modest gain through the length of the valley.  Bear Creek Spire and other great peaks.  I have walked pretty much everywhere in the valley, including to Dade Lake at the far end at the base of Bear Creek Spire.

    I have stayed at the Rock Creek Lodge several times.  It snows in during winter, but they transport you in via snow cat.  I once back country skied well up Little Lakes Valley in March.

    Was at Golden Trout Lakes 10 days ago, which is just north of Kearsarge Pass, and accessed from Onion Valley trailhead.  Beautiful but rugged hiking.

    @Edmund Dantes: The mortar-forkers will keep insisting it was The Joo’s Bodyguard, louder and louder, hoping to provoke someone to respond, No it wasn’t, it was (whoever) – so they’ll know who to sic their sick fucking swarmtroopers on.
