Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

So many bastards, so little time.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Come on, man.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

I’m not sure if DougJ has covered her already, but a commenter shared this with me, so I wanted to front page it because, well HELL YEAH! She petitioned the FEC to allow funds raised to cover child care. I’ll let her tell the story:

She’s taking on Peter King. Daunting, but she sure seems up to the task.  Here’s her campaign page.

    Please FSM, I’ve been a good girl this year. So has she. Let her take out the despicable Peter King. We so need more like her running. And if the gods agree, winning.

    Love this. I hope she has a shot at winning the seat but the FEC ruling on childcare for candidates who are parents is already a win!

    @Another Scott: Thanks for helping her pay for child care. I assume once she’s in Congress, they have paid child care there. Or they will when she gets through with them.

    Without even being elected she’s already changed the game. Sure hope she wins!

    Watch out for the One Nation PAC. It’s running some seriously skeevy, borderline slanderous ads against Joe Donnelly here and I assume other vulnerable Senate Dems elsewhere.

    Emptywheel’s explanation is so convoluted , I did not really get it. Writing clearly is hard and I have trouble with it myself, so I feel bad crticizing someone for it, but that post went right over my head.

    Love a positive ad that also throws shade on the opponent. Really inspiring woman, and Peter King is disgusting as fuck. Sent her a tiny donation, but every little bit helps.

    Wow. I’m in.

    Wow. Imagining a House where the insurgents look like this, and send the teabagging ratfuck criminals and their grift train to the showers.
