Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

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

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Everybody saw this coming.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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©.
