Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

The lights are all blinking red.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

“But what about the lurkers?”

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

The National Guard is not Batman.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Medicare Quip of the Night

I am glad to report that somebody managed tofind something mildly amusing about the completely unfunny GOP Vote Buying Scheme of 2003 Prescription Drug Benefit. Craig Kilborn quipped tonight:

Experts claim that over the next two decades, the Prescription Drug Benefit could cost as much as $2 trillion. And that’s just for Rush Limbaugh…

I chuckled.

    OT:

    HEY Cole looks like that Democratic intelligence committee memo may have been stolen. Since the Repubs aren’t above stealing memos from judiciary committee members it wouldn’t suprise me if they stole the one intelligence committee memo.

    The truly sad thing is that number might not really be that outragous.

    I guess that joke’s going around, John. Conan said, and I quote from memory, “This morning, Congress passed a Medicare prescription drug benefit. 40 million people will now have access to the same drugs as Rush Limbaugh.”

    On the Fox NFL pregame show, Jimmy Johnson was talking about the Eagles winning streak and he said something like “all of the people who were criticizing Donovan McNabb are either in hiding or in rehab”.

    I laughed at that one too, since even though I lean to the right, I’m no fan of Rush.
