Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

We won’t go back.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, it’s door #2)

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Come on, man.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

White supremacy is terrorism.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Bark louder, little dog.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

I am reminded of my niece’s favorite book when she was little.  Ann Likes Red.

It starts with Ann likes red.  Red, red, red.  (and it goes on from there)

Ron looks sad.  Sad, sad, sad.

Okay, this one was photoshopped:

For those of you who don’t click into twitter, here’s the full picture:

Apologies to Betty Cracker for stepping into DeSantis territory.  I accidentally left a letter out of his name which left the name a DeSatis, which is awfully close to you know what.

Open thread.

    Is this the same fellow the was talking with Biden during the “Do not fuck with a Biden” conversation?  Did someone say that fellow is the mayor of Ft. Myers?

    Meanwhile, remember the baby formula crisis?…

    WH.gov:

    Today, President Biden is announcing that his Administration sourced a flight, facilitated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), for Operation Fly Formula to transport Nestlé Gerber Good Start Extensive HA formula from Netherlands to Newark, NJ via a flight on September 29. This delivery included in total approximately 101,000 pounds of Nestlé formula, the equivalent of approximately 1.4 million 8-ounce bottles. The products are intended for healthcare purposes.

    Beginning in May, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the agency is exercising enforcement discretion so that Nestlé can export additional infant formula into the U.S. Nestlé will import both standard and specialty infant formulas including Nestlé NAN SupremePro 1 and NAN SupremePro 2, Nestlé NAN EXPERTpro SensiPro, Nestlé Health Science Alfamino Infant and Alfamino Junior, Vitaflo PKU start, Gerber Good Start Gentle and Gerber Good Start Extensive HA, and Nestlé SMA Nutrition Althéra. Over time Nestlé plans to bring approximately more than 42 million 8-ounce bottle equivalents into the U.S. market.

    President Biden launched Operation Fly Formula to speed up the import of infant formula and start getting more formula to stores as soon as possible. Under Operation Fly Formula, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the General Services Administration (GSA), and the Department of Defense (DOD) are partnering to pick up overseas infant formula that meets U.S. health and safety standards, so it can get to store shelves, hospitals, and home health care providers faster. By September 29, Operation Fly Formula will have transported more than 97.9 million 8-ounce bottle equivalents to the U.S.

    […]

    (Emphasis added.)

    It’s important to recognize the power of the federal government to act quickly when there are problems. And to do what we can to make sure that government at all levels is staffed by sensible people who use that power correctly and effectively.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    First one is more damning than the white boots. My sense of politics right now is voters right and left are getting feed up with the politics of petty spite.

    I heard the second one was Ron was going to a try out for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders after the visit. So no bigy.

    @jackmac: I’m not sure I would look much better than he does in those hip boots, but I love that photo of him so much.

    I’m just sad that not enough folks will see it.  I may have to use it again somewhere tomorrow.

    The first photo of Biden and DeSantis says it all. Biden genuinely likes to connect with people. DeSantis looks bilious, and wishes he were somewhere else.

    @Jackie: Even without the class and common sense, I go for comfy clothes, so yeah, I wouldn’t be caught dead in something like that.

    But I appreciate the class and common sense part!

    At their appearance today in FL DeSatan was standing behind Biden fidgeting and making faces like a bored five year old. I half expected him to start stalking around the stage like his role model. These guys really can’t stand it when anybody but them gets any attention.

    As I was scrolling down I was hoping that you’d show the whole picture. The extended length rubber boots with the high heels really sells that picture. And I can believe that he’d wear them because he has zero shame and zero concept of being human. Either that or he’s just an extremely shitty human. I can go either way….Also it’s possible it’s not either or, it’s both…..

    @John Revolta:

    They have all the depth of a single sheet of paper, on the scale of real humans that is as close to absolute zero as it gets.

    I realize politics is a blood sport, but I like the first one a whole lot better. It’s real and humiliating for DeSantis. And yeah, mocking him mercilessly for the original pristine white boots, go for it. But this.. eh.. mild cringe.

    I really thought that photo was photoshopped. Looked too good to be true.

    @gene108:  I really thought that photo was photoshopped. Looked too good to be true.

    Me as well. For me it’s the fact that DeSantis is out of focus compared to the main action with Biden. But if it’s real, it’s real and I love it

    For those enjoying the photomanip: there are MANY others in the Twitter replies; I recommend checking out some portion of the thread over there.

    I think one reason I love that photo – with the hip boots – so much is that his feet with the heels reminds me so much of the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz.

    Just don’t give in and change your handle to Petty Cracker, ‘k?

    Ok, so “Petty Betty” it is, then. All in the service of the load.

    The first photo does indeed say it all. DeinSanity really is a loathsome, petulant child. However, that seems all too popular in Floriduh.

    @Skepticat: After two terms then a senatorial election win, Rick Scott demonstrates Floridians like their governors mean and crooked. They’re joined at the hip with Texas in this regard.

    Still doesn’t explain Li’l Marco.
