Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

We still have time to mess this up!

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

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

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

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

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

He really is that stupid.

A Real Tragedy

There is simply no excuse for these deaths:

France’s leading undertaker estimated the country’s death toll from the summer heat wave at 15,000 on Tuesday, far exceeding the official tally and putting further pressure on the government to improve its health care system…

The new estimate came after the government on Monday released a harshly worded report blaming the deaths on hospital understaffing during summer holidays, widespread failure among agencies and health services to coordinate efforts, and chronically insufficient care for the elderly.

What a waste.
