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.

Let me file that under fuck it.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

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

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

This blog will pay for itself.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

“President” of (what used to be) the world’s greatest power, and this is what obsesses him:

Have I pointed out recently that this is all the Republicans’ fault? Good job, GOP!

    I would like to see Trump picked as person of the year, along with several others who received the award in smaller pictures underneath — Hitler, Stalin, Kruschev, Khomeni. But, in that vein, I think they will go with Putin, the guy at the other end of Trump’s leash who has really had more influence, good or bad and mostly bad, than anyone else this past year.

    Man, when Chris Cilizza is comfortable publicly mocking a Republican, you know we’re really through the looking glass.

    I remember when TIME selected me as Person of The Year. (Well, they picked “you”, and the article was addressing me the reader.) Nobody came to interview me or take my picture. So I’m suspicious of Trump’s claim.

    If Time picks Putin, Trump will act like he won something.

    If they pick he #metoo people, he’ll act like it was a sop to liberal whiners.

    If they pick him it will be historically unique (not really) & evidence that he should be made emperor of all the americas..

    Of course he’s obsessed with Time. He’s even got a fake cover of himself hanging up in Mara Lago.

    @aangus: My flip-phone says Malasia is 14 hours different, so US EST 3 am is 4 pm Malasia time. Is the international dateline in there somewhere? Is he 14 hours ahead of us or a day Behind?

    I have a sibling who travels to Asia a lot. It’s always weird. I think I’m calling her at a reasonable hour EST, but instead I wake her up in the middle of the night because she’s off in Asia again.

    The difference varies with the time of year — MalaYsia is an equatorial country, and doesn’t have daylight saving time — and I can never quite remember how DST affects it..

    Good morning, jackals. Gonna see the Nobel Museum (hello, Mssrs Obama and Dylan), maybe the big sunken but raised warship (the Vasa). Grey day here, but this town does coffee well.

    Happy holiday weekend to us all.

    @Sab:

    That works out for the best sometimes. A number of years ago, I got a call at 5:00 a.m. in Bangalore from a friend in SoCal who didn’t know I was traveling. Since I was awake, I turned on the TV and saw that the Mumbai airport (out of which I was supposed to be flying that night) was under four feet of water. Frantic calls to corporate travel ensued, and they found another way out for me.

    Why would TIME need Trump to pose for a photograph? The whole point of a white hood is that anyone could be wearing it.

    He’s afraid of the interview. Hasn’t given a real one since he confessed obstruction of justice to Lester Holt.

    Why would he do this? Why tell an easily debunked, obvious lie when he could just keep his damned pie hole shut? This is the textbook example of an unforced error. What the hell is wrong with him?

    I think Time should put the 16 women who accused Trump of sexual harassment on the cover and call it the year of the women. And I hope Trump keels over from a heart attack when he sees it. Hillary did not win, but she unleashed something important.

    @Lurking Canadian:

    Why tell an easily debunked, obvious lie [. . .]?

    Because Trump spent decades as a sleazy New York real estate operator and self-promoter, and the worst blowback he got was “Oh, that’s the Donald being the Donald.” Even as a candidate he got the same treatment. He was completely unprepared for being in a public office where everything he says is going to be recorded, checked, rechecked and debunked.

    Also, his narcissism won’t let him not say bullshit like this. He is mentally ill. To look for strategery, or lack of it, is futile.

    @Colleeniem: I so hope she visited the Wasa too, AND that she has time to go to Skansen. I’m pretty sure they do extra stuff for Xmas as well, but I’ve only been in spring/summer.

    Kate Upton called and begged me to go out with her, but I was rearranging my sock drawer, so I said no and hung up on her.

    The Swedish Academy called and said that I would PROBABLY win the Nobel peace prize, but I would have to agree to an interview and photo shoot. I said probably wasn’t good enough and hung up.

    Bob Mueller called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be indicted for conspiracy, but I would have to get a mugshot taken and enter a plea. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

    My husband said someone should give Trump an award like “Greatest Liar of the Year” just to see what he does.
