Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Republicans do not trust women.

Bark louder, little dog.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

When I was faster i was always behind.

    Not only are they on a roll, but ABC framed the insulin part being removed as Republican’s fault.

    I am happy today.  Nancy says she has the votes, so she has the votes.  Great day.

    And I am astounded by the patience of Joe, Schumer, and Nancy.  I am so glad people like they enter politics.  I would have throttled Manchin and Sinema months ago.

    Even the FTNYT has this as a headline: ‘Republicans force the removal of a measure that would cap insulin prices at $35 for private insurers.’

    I am in a pretty good mood already – an excellent week for the Dems and also an excellent week for my Mets (except, naturally, for the game I attended on Tuesday, but that is expected and so did not dampen my mood, and besides, I got to see somebody hit a home run in his first Major League game, and that’s both rare and a wonderful thing, even when he plays for the team you’re rooting against).

    Here is a protest sign, featured by Paul Bronks:

    I don’t normally do political tweets but in these times of hate and divisiveness,

    I think this is a message we can all get behind.

    Now quote these headlines from major newspapers, and there’s your campaign commercial.

    (Repeated.) Slightly reticent about asking because of rhymes-with-lowbid, so consider this tentative feeler as to whether or not folks may be interested in a B-J meet-up.

    Planning to travel to NYC area August 24th through September 8th. Most popular days in the past have been on weekends, so that would mean a choice of

    Friday, August 26
    Saturday, August 27
    Sunday, August 28
    Friday, September 2
    Saturday, September 3
    Sunday, September 4
    Monday, September 5 (Labor Day)
    .
    Preference as to a date? Also too, afternoon or evening? Any strike-throughs are dates someone already has mentioned as not being amenable to their schedule.

    Covid=lowbid.  OK, I guess.  The only thing I could come up with was obit.  Which did not make sense.

    I just watched Hal Sparks watch the tfg speech at CPAC. I think Hals strategic use of a fart machine really put the whole rambling whining presentation in the proper perspective.

    @satby: What is really making the difference I think for all of us right now is that he really made the choice. They could have intervened to save his life, but he said no. After that, the hospital and the hospice both made him comfortable until the end. The fact that he took the dignity to end his life at the time of his choosing I think is making his loss easier. It’s also possible it hasn’t hit me yet.

    @eclare: Several Progressive Dems have already stated on the record, they’re eager to vote and pass “as is!” Every”one” is willing to get this Bill to Biden.

    Democrats are pumped about the Nov election, and hopefully win both Chambers to pass more Bills that include everything the Republicans shut down because they could. The ability to remove the filibuster will be huge.

    Too subtle? Okay, amended the text for the next time it comes around in a thread.

    Reaction thus far has been somewhat tepid.

    OK, the Democrats kicking ass and passing legislation is awesome and all, but for truly awesome? Steve, aka That Magnificent Bastard, on his pink shag poof.

    *That* is awesome. Thank you, JC!
