Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Consistently wrong since 2002

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

He really is that stupid.

Second rate reporter says what?

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

    Megyn McArdle was daring you yesterday to come out of retirement and critique her latest defense of the whackos.

    @JPL: Life is too short.

    And I have another 40,000 words to get into shitty-first-draft shape by the end of the summer. No time for McArdle-gigging.

    This really was a moment’s respite — four minutes later and Adam is sounding an alarm.

    Go the way of the Russian warship is a great phrase.

    Please show her the respect she deserves (none).  Her name is Megan McArgleBargle.

    @Ohio Mom: Meh on the Adam. I thought he’d be posting about what appears to be the beginning of the Ukrainian counter-attacking phase. I guess I’ll have to stay up late for that.

    Anyway, now “go the way of the russian warship” will have to be more specific, as it appears that the Admiral Makarov is joining the Moskva on the bottom of the Black Sea (subject to independent confirmation.)

    @Gin & Tonic: Admiral Makarov is/was a modern (2017) frigate and some people were amused that the namesake for the ship was born in Ukraine.

    @Gin & Tonic: I would be very happy to post your take on the counter-attack and/or the significance of sinking the warships and/or anything else you have to say on Ukraine.

    Really good to get multiple perspectives.

    @Mike in NC: Most excellent news.  And the weekend is just starting. I may also start practicing saying “make like a Russian warship”.  Two smiles.

    @JPL: Popehat has it covered.

    As Meghan McCain's book tanks, a flashback to the time 11 years ago she used Snell & Wilmer to make vexatious litigation threats to Red State over a clearly protected parody of her execrable writing https://t.co/2JSoYhphO0

    @Another Scott:

    A taste.

    Perhaps he thinks people who want to read Meghan McCain’s work non-ironically are unusually stupid; this doesn’t help him either, because the test is what a reasonable person would think, not what a McCain fan would think.

    [ snort! ]

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Tim Mak:

    I can’t count just how many Ukrainians I’ve spoken to who, in casual conversation, now use…

    …”go the way of the Russian warship!” as a polite substitute for “eff off!”

    I am the only one wondering why so many Ukrainians are using this in casual conversation with Tim Mak?
