Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

    I can’t stomach Seth Myers so would appreciate any summation of how Joe’s appearance tonight played out.

    This seems like a smart take about the hearing tomorrow in GA.

    Never expressed hatred for him, just find his shtick not to my taste.

    Say what you will about how vanilla Carson and Paar were, they both excelled at not letting the program be about them.

    Note to our Mahler stans:  The Vienna Philharmonic is coming to Carnegie Hall at 2 PM Eastern, Sunday, to play his 9th Symphony.

    Those who surf to wqxr.org can listen to it, live.

    Leo Wise seemingly used the Smirnov allegation as an excuse to reopen the case against the President’s son, only to discover it opened a nasty can of worms.  It gave Abbe Lowell the evidence to prove that the prosecution of Hunter Biden was infected by an effort by the Attorney General to accommodate the dirt that Trump’s lawyers picked up from Russian spies. And it gave Wise a real headache of a prosecution to deal with.

    My best guess is:
    1) He really didn’t want to charge bc he knew some of the evidence was dogshit and most people wouldn’t be charged
    2) He really did slowly capitulate to the GOP
    3) Nevertheless, he entered into a plea agreement negotiated by Wolf
    4) He brought in Leo Wise to sheep dip the entire prosecution
    5) Wise falsely claimed that the plea wasn’t supposed to end everything at the plea hearing, so he could go after the FD-1023
    6) At that point, he knew next to nothing about the evidentiary problems or the corruption behind the FD-1023
    7) He thought he could just cover up the fact that he had reopened the case to chase lies, but then Abbe Lowell asked for discovery on it
    8) so he charged Smirnov

    @NotMax: I find him charming as an interviewer on the few times I’ve watched him. But I can see how that perpetual smirk might come off as smarmy and condescending. I think he’s an okay guy who just has Resting Asshole Face.

    How about Wise is a typical DoJ guy, whose best chance for advancement is f&cking over a Dem, and who knows that there is no possible misconduct which would blow back on him?
