Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

We will not go back.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

In my day, never was longer.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

Republicans in disarray!

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

Our messy unity will be our strength.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

No one could have predicted…

The National Guard is not Batman.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

How stupid are these people?

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Yikes, looks like we need an open thread!  So here we go.  I’ve been mired in work but it sounds like the 3 big speeches last night were all A+

Also, a brand-new Angel came forward today, so we have a $1,2500 Angel match in addition to the double external match, so donations will be 6x.   Big thanks to exbarrowboy!  Pretty sure there’s a story there.

You know the drill, to be matched, tell us about your contribution in the comments or send me email.  Matching up to $100 per person.

Update: our new Angel just told me “no limit” on the amount to match per person, until we complete the $1,250 match!

Open thread!

Update: Here’s a sneak peek at the Native-made Star Quilt for our upcoming raffle for Four Directions Montana!

    Repost from downstairs, we may have had a Moti hit here this month.

    A prominent Sacramento-area Sikh leader’s pickup truck was fired upon on a highway near Winters in what his organization and an international expert believe was an assassination attempt.

    Satinder Pal Singh Raju, a Woodland resident and a leader in the Khalistan movement to establish a homeland for Sikhs, as well as two other Sikh activists were unharmed in the shooting, which happened about 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 11 along Interstate 505. Officer Rodney Fitzhugh, a spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol’s Woodland office, said gunfire was reported on I-505 near County Road 27 in rural Yolo County, about 11 miles southwest of Woodland.

    According to a CHP log of the incident, Raju’s Dodge Ram 1500 was impounded as part of the investigation. The FBI would not comment on whether it was investigating the incident, or if it believes the shooting was part of a growing domestic and international threat it has been tracking. The threats involve foreign governments and are known as “transnational repression,” in which overseas states target perceived enemies living abroad.

    But an intelligence expert and the group Sikhs for Justice believe that the shooting was unlikely to have been random. They allege that India, which has been behind several plots against Sikh leaders in the U.S. and elsewhere, could be behind the troubling Northern California attack.

    @frosty: Thank you, frosty!

    I was just about to pull this post since there’s another one right on top of it, but then I saw your comment.  I guess I’ll give it a few more minutes.

    @WaterGirl: I think you can keep the fundraising posts up even though there’s another Open Thread on top of it. These are kind of their own thing and it’s good to have one handy.

    @H.E.Wolf: I like the way he thinks.  Paraphrasing:

    “Let’s move ahead quickly and try to get the Civics Center funding completed so we can move on to the next one!”

    I couldn’t agree more. :-)

    Eagle flies, so General Grant rides again.

    Gonna “fight along this line if it takes all summer,” all fall, and a chunk of winter to make sure we win and the GQP can’t steal our votes.
