Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.
Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.
I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.
Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.
The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.
Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?
That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.
The lights are all blinking red.
“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”
I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.
Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.
The gop is a fucking disgrace.
Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker
I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.
Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.
People are complicated. Love is not.
A fool as well as an oath-breaker.
Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?
You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.
Only Democrats have agency, apparently.
The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.
I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.
Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Trust me John, don’t even try to understand.

A career criminal with weapons brandishing thugs in his posse has spewed that the investigation of his crimes is a (R) plot… because he’s the black(D) mayor.
Can’t wait to see him ‘do the frog march in chains’…
To quote Mr Yellowcake.

John Street is arrogant, abrasive, egotistical, petty, venal, vain, corrupt and unprincipled. However, the timing of this revelation stinks (the election is a month away) and I am not prepared to hand the keys to the city to John Perzel just in time to suppress voter turnout in the biggest city of a battleground state in November, 2004.
Having said that, let the investigation take its course. If Street or his buddies committed a crime, send ’em to jail, no question.

John Street is about as corrupt as corrupt gets. Forget about the concept of competitive bidding, he justs gives bids to his brother who used to be hot dog vendor and is now filthy rich. To complicate issues, the FBI is investigating him as a “subject” and yet people say he’s being discriminated against because he breaks almost every racketeering law in the country? The guy is decietful, lacks any string of integrity, and is the worst thing to happen to Philly in years. Katz is a very moderate republican who wants to bring jobs back into the city. Even as a democrat, I can’t see any choice but Katz or not voting. Endoring Street is like endoring Michael Corleonne for Mayor…I mean c’mon corruption is corruption is corrupiton.

i know it is over and street won the election, but philadelphia lost. Sam Katz got a better job, but Philadelphia did not get a better mayor…lower wage taxes equal more jobs. I am a democrat, but shame on street and his corrupt organization. shame on us for electing such a horrific person. Lastly, i wonder how much longer street will survive until hes indicted…anyone got any idea?

I USED to live in Philly, but with Street in office, I moved out. He is one of the WORST mayors this city has seen in years. It’s one thing to close down the rec centers, but its another thing to cut back on firefighters, police, and other city workers. HEY JOHN WE NEED THOSE PEOPLE!!! I hope he gets indicted soon. I still have family in Philly.
