Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Not all heroes wear capes.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

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

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Mid-Morning Open Thread Now With Ducks

by | 26 Comments

This post is in: ,

I honestly cannot tell if there is a post in the works or not, so if this gets stomped on, no big deal. But it looks like we could use a new thread. Now with ducks. Playing in the sprinklers. If that doesn’t reduce your stress, nothing will.

The ducks enjoying some rare winter watering time. With the driest fall on record, now going into winter, the city has asked us to water bushes and trees while the days are above 70 degrees. Boon for the ducks…not so much my water bill.

    Could hit close to 60F here in NE Illinois today. But chance of rain tomorrow, followed by a cooldown.

    Still, dry fall following a dry summer. Maybe some rain on Sunday. Last I read, they’re predicting above normal temps and precip here this winter. Guess we’ll see.

    Love the duckies!

    My wonderful progressive Congressman, Pete DeFazio, is retiring. It’s going to be a fucking free for all here

    @The Pale Scot: I used to work with a guy whose plan to get out of a ticket was to say that he didn’t see the stop sign. We called it the “Your Honour, Ahh’s Stoopid” defense.

    The ducks are adorable, thank you

    Eta> 63 here in Memphis, which is not unheard of in early December.  Hell, I remember Christmas get togethers in shorts in the 1970’s.

    70F yesterday, foggy this a.m. and no rain forecast into next week. Lovely, in the actual and ironic senses.

    Could you just put it on the ducks’ bills?

    Thank you the ducks made me smile,  too bad people in general aren’t as much fun as ducks, dogs and cats.  We are not worthy.

    @Damned_at_Random:

    I know! Ugh, he just won his seat last year. I wonder what got him to retire? I hope we will have a suitable replacement. Plus we are sending more congress critters from our state right?

    @cain: My guess is he considers the Infrastructure bill would be a great legacy and he’s tired of the BS from the Repugs. I hope he travels the country and breaks ground at all the new projects he facilitated that the local COngresscritter DIDN’T vote for. (I hope the retirement wasn’t health related)

    @Edmund Dantes: George Soros is more powerful than all the other billionaires in the solar system, combined. It’s that dire. The fact he’s uish-jay is a mere coincidence to concerned patriots©.
