Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

The willow is too close to the house.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Come on, man.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Cornell West is ‘running’ to bump up his speaking fees:


Or maybe a different campaign is already slipping him a little something under the table…

======

And Nikki Haley just signed the death warrant on her ‘maybe Trump will pick me to replace Pence’ tour…

     Cornel West says he’s running for president

    Pat Paulsen he’s not

    Give it up, Mike. Not even the MAGOP is going to choose a Presidential candidate with resting Quantum Leap face. Especially not one that at least 35% of the Party electorate would like to see hanged for unspecified crimes of Woke Treason.

    And Eric Bunson needs to go and do what all characters called ‘Eric Bunson’ are likely to do in any film in which there is a character called ‘Eric Bunson’. Tip – it involves self-stimulation with a petrol driven tree-feller.

    Since this is the anniversary of D-day, it seems appropriate to wish Ukraine good fortune in taking it’s land back from fascists.

    Sadly, gaining ground on fascists is an important goal in every country right now.

    Will Mike Pence even poll at the 1% he needs to be in the debate?

    Pence is an also-ran for the reasons everyone here has said many times.

    West won’t even get on the ballot.  He has no constituency at all.  Who would vote for him over any other candidate?  Who?  Why is he even trying?  My guess is some combination of ego and grift.  I doubt he has ever realized he’s just a black guy who criticizes Democrats, which is a job you can get paid for in the US.

    I think Haley has ambitions to actually be president rather than running for VP.  Like West, she hasn’t realized she’s just a token the GOP in her area find non threatening.  A sidekick pretending to be in charge.  You’ve hit that glass ceiling, lady.

    I guess VP is possible because it’s a sidekick role.  Maybe she knows and really has set her sights on that, but I think she’s deluded.  Eh.  Who knows?  She doesn’t have what Trump wants:  Absolute, ass-kissing loyalty.

    No candidate so far has both the white supremacist cruelty chops and the strength to stand up to Trump and call him a loser.  It’s so pathetic.

    Nobody who might ever vote Democrat cares what Leftier-Than-Thous like Bunson think.  I knew some of ‘Bernie was robbed’ voters in 2016 and they learned their lesson.

    Will Cornel run with Kanye in order to economize on yard sign printing costs?

    Come to think of it, Trump will pick whatever VP Russia tells him to, and not even realize that’s what happened.  Both their government documents and public propaganda make it clear Russia thinks he’s a chump who’s hilariously easy to manipulate.

    So I looked up this Jeremy Wayne Tate referenced in the Michael Realman tweet, and aside from being a DeSantis fellator and a regular at NRO, he’s also the hard-core homeschooler behind the Classic Learning Test. That said, I’m sure that he and “My Brother” Dr. Cornel West would get along famously as a presidential ticket.

    “West & West, we’re better than the rest”? Yes, My Brother, I can dig it.

    Everything you need to know about the brainrot of Cornel West is around that “Maybe DeSantis has a post” article he co-authored. Specifically — it’s all a grift now:

    It may seem confusing that Cornel West would endorse Ron DeSantis until you realize that West is on the board of Classic Learning Initiatives, which created the Classic Learning Test that DeSantis just approved funding for all school districts in Florida to use.

    @MisterDancer: I know Republican consistency is too much to ask, but how does pushing classics education in grade school jibe with their complaints about colleges offering “impractical” degrees that won’t get people jobs?

    @Ken: I reckon that depends on what works made the cut and which didn’t, and whether any of them were “woke”.

    The last tweet there mentioned trans kids contemplating suicide.  Nikki Haley said “teenage girls” contemplate suicide.  Not trans kids.  She could care less about trans kids.  I’ve never liked her and these days vindication flows every day.  Ugh.  I  can’t stand her and her hateful self.

    Cornel West should be running for the No Labels primary and smash Joe Manchin.

    @docNC: They tell us we can’t talk to their kids about it.

    Then in the next breath admit they can’t and won’t. “I can’t even imagine telling my kids this stuff.”

    Yes. We know.

    Who is the constituency asking for Mike Pence? The MAGAts don’t want him because he was insufficiently loyal to the maximum leader on January 6th. The Liberals and independents don’t want him because he was an ass-kissing sycophant to the Bad Orange Man for 4 years. He left office as Governor of Indiana with a sub 15% approval rating so he won’t get moderate votes based on past competence. Who is left?

    Former Vice President Mike Pence filed paperwork to run for president, setting up a clash with Donald Trump in an increasingly crowded battle for the future of the Republican party

    Oh, you poor miserable bastard.

    Will the Trump trash crowd start chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” at the shitshows they try to call debates?

    He thinks it is the fundamentalists and evangelicals.  Who once did support him in Indiana in the before times.  But where he is wrong is that they have turned out to be the most rabid Trumpers of all.  I know of what I speak because I’m related to a bunch.  Basically because evangelicalism is nothing more than a tribal grift and Trump knows him some tribal grifts.
