Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

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

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

Republicans do not trust women.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

This fight is for everything.

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

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

The words do not have to be perfect.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Another Suit Struck Down

Does anyone keep track of all the unsuccessful lawsuits filed against Presidents? It would be fun to see who had what filed against them. Here is another one against Bush that failed:

A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former congressman alleging that President Bush violated the 1973 War Powers Act by attacking Iraq.

Former Rep. Clair Callan had no legal standing to file the court action and failed to show that he would be personally injured by Bush’s actions, U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf ruled.

Surely this legislator should have known he would have no legal standing. Congressman understand the laws they make, right?
