Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Fight them, without becoming them!

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

I was promised a recession.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

He was on Maddow last night. I could only find the second half of the interview on YouTube, still not up at MSNBC yet, but I’m sure it will be at some point.

    Thank you for this.  It’s important for everyone to remember that there is a WHOLE LOT on the line in November.  And a lot of it is up to us

    PS- MFing FIRST!!!, lol (first time I think, in all my years here)

    A young man  approached me and my buddy in Brevard yesterday and asked what our biggest concern in the next election. My buddy said the environment and I said “our democracy if Trump wins”. He didn’t show any emotion at all so I’m guessing it was some kind of school project.

    I saw the interview–it was lovely! He seemed sorta . . . abashed that he was getting the attention, but also happy. I honestly had never connected all those posters and I was glad to see them; they’re very powerful, IMHO. And positive!

    Because I listen to Rachel on her next day podcast, heard the interview. But, alas, couldn’t see the work.

    Or Mr. Fairey.

    He is so young! Was he, like, 14 when he designed Mr. Obama’s “Hope” poster?

    ETA, Wikipedia says he is 54!!!

    Clearly, he should give up this art stuff, even though he is good at it, and go into the skin care biz.

    I really like the style as well as the message.

    I suppose it’s wrong to think he probably could do a really effective one with an image of TIFG and “FEAR.”
