Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

We still have time to mess this up!

This chaos was totally avoidable.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

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

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

    Hey! I bought 12 tickets in my imagination, where I’m still a competent genius in the field of database and application tuning, but in RL, I’m desperately hoping to win disability from my now-former company, Amazon Web Services, and dealing with the loss of income from my wife’s recent breaking of her hip.

    @WTFGhost:  Hoping for good outcomes for you all around!

    You might have to imagine that you win!  :-)

    On the other hand, the idea that another BJ peep might buy a raffle ticket for you is not totally out of the questions.  I’ve seen that once or twice before.
