Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

“But what about the lurkers?”

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

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

Lock Her Up

Big news on the insurrection:

Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, longtime chairman of the extremist group Proud Boys, was indicted on a new federal charge of seditious conspiracy with four top lieutenants on Monday. The charges expand the Justice Department’s allegations of an organized plot to unleash political violence to prevent the confirmation of President Biden’s election victory on Jan. 6, 2021, when a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol.

Tarrio, 38, was not in Washington that day, but allegedly guided the group’s activities from nearby Maryland as Proud Boys members engaged in the earliest and most aggressive attacks to confront and overwhelm police at several critical points on restricted Capitol grounds. One co-defendant, Dominic Pezzola, of Rochester, N.Y., broke through the first window of the building at 2:13 p.m. with a stolen police riot shield, authorities said.

A new 10-count superseding indictment returned Monday morning charges Tarrio, Pezzola and three other existing co-defendants — Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area, and Zachary Rehl, of Philadelphia — with coordinating travel to Washington and the movements of the group around the Capitol that day. The group is also accused of plotting to foment a riot and storm Congress, action that eventually forced the evacuation of lawmakers meeting to confirm the 2020 election results.

Remember when they wanted to lock Hillary Clinton up for… being a Democrat?
