Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

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

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Via Trojan Horseshoes the most bizarre military story I have heard in a long time:

A member of Ohio’s 5694th National Guard Unit in Mansfield legally changed his name to a Transformers toy.

Optimus Prime is heading out to the Middle East with his guard unit on Wednesday to provide fire protection for airfields under combat.

“On Sunday, we were awarded as the best firefighting unit in the Army National Guard in the entire country,” said Prime. “That was a big moment for us.”

Prime took his name from the leader of the Autobots Transformers, which were popular toys and a children’s cartoon in the 1980s.

He legally changed his name on his 30th birthday and now it’s on everything from his driver’s licence, to his military ID, to his uniform.

“They razzed me for three months to no end,” said Prime. “They really dug into me about it.”

“I got a letter from a general at the Pentagon when the name change went through and he says it was great to have the employ of the commander of the Autobots in the National Guard.”

    What is worse is that the General really thought a Transformer was in the Army National Guard.

    I dunno, I thought it was kinda geek-cool.
    Hell, if we can have Rip Torn, River Phoenix, and Moon Unit Zappa, gimme an Autobot!
