Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Republicans don’t trust women.

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

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

The willow is too close to the house.

I was promised a recession.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Everybody saw this coming.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Late Night Open Thread: Troutmouth Bob Woodward Does It Again

I know I’ve said this before, but: Nothing Woodward does has ever contradicted the long-standing argument that he’s been an asset of the ‘alphabet agencies’ since his OSS days.

And it’s been very, very profitable for him — even though not for the good of the country.

I hope to Murphy the Trickster God that the Biden admin’s distrust of mudlarking media members extends to keeping this ancient boneless ghoul well away from their deliberations !

    Well, if nothing else, this is a joyous dance number we can all groove to.

    Let’s do the Milley dance!

    Dr. Strangelove is a great movie. Its only flaw is that the prevailing sense of optimism has been shown to be unwarranted.

    Oh jeeze. Can we knock off the immature schoolyard slurs? Particularly any ostensibly aimed at physical attributes?

    @Mary G: ​
     I have a tshirt that basically says this.

    On the subject of outrage of Milley, hey, isn’t he one of TFG’s generals? Obama didn’t put him in place. Well, OK, he was a general of some sort during the Obama administration, but then again, if he’s served for 40 years then he was commissioned during the Reagan Administration, which makes him the Gipper’s fault.

    Love it when the GQP Rightwing Powertools show the world exactly what weak toady characters they have. It’s really got to chap Milley’s ass that he needs Sleepy Joe Biden to excuse his cowardice in the face of TFG mean tweeting about him to the MSM.  Really hard to feel sorry for anyone who fooled themselves into believing they could work for that Orange Shitstain and come out of it with their soul and integrity intact.

    Oh that’s awesome.

    I’m so over all of the people who had a duty to warn and kept it quiet so they could make money selling their books.

    • @artem1s: I’m sure that after decades of military duty Milley believed he was serving the country, and not working for Trump, when he accepted the job.

    @artem1s: Milley’s problems are compounded by his participation, wearing camo uniform, in Trump’s Bible-toting foray last summer. A lot of Democrats wanted his scalp for that one.

    I remember reading what seemed a credible source at the time that said Milley was at a function where the uniform was appropriate, then was summoned by Hair Fuhrer to the Church desecration. Didn’t have time to change uniform, so got played for hyping the MAGA meme of “Danger in the Streets!”

    @artem1s:  If you were career military, and you saw the sort of people Stump usually picked TO DO ANYTHING, if you were reasonably sane, wouldn’t you step into the gap, to keep these other wackaloons from filling it? I would. Not that I would ever be career military, mind you.

    I know I’ve said this before, but: Nothing Woodward does has ever contradicted the long-standing argument that he’s been an asset of the ‘alphabet agencies’ since his OSS days.

    So you’re saying that he was an active member of the OSS from birth to the age of 2, when the OSS was dissolved? That’s quite a recruit. Can’t talk, can’t walk, can’t feed himself… they’ll never suspect a thing! So who exactly has been saying he was part of the OSS?

    @matt: 

    Pretty sure once you are the Chair of the Joint Chiefs you are currently topped out. 5-stars are designated by an act of Congress, IIRC. There haven’t been any of those since Doug MacArthur got fired.
