Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Everybody saw this coming.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

    TPM is en fuego right now…check out this link:

    Maine’s new gov thinks that if 35 states join a lawsuit (not win it, just join it), it nullifies the law automatically. Just as insane….the reporter doesn’t even bother to correct or question him.

    And I’ll bet $500 that when someone finally does question this dumbassery, he’s going to blame the “librul media” for “taking it out of context”, natch.

    Wow, does that tune ever suck complete ass. You’d think at some point the producer would’ve told the guy “why don’t you at laest wait until your voice finishes changing beforeyou try to sing. Although, since you are almost invariably flat, you should probably work more on playing guitar or piano.”

    That was fucking horrible.

    Reading Douthat’s latest, I’m still amazed that every one of his columns can be summarized thusly:

    “Based on [anecdote/one poll/some trifling observation] and my reductionist understanding of politics and history, I will now use reasonable-sounding language to lament the fall of a mythical happy past where everyone just did what the Church told them.”

    Reactionary politics with a village vineer and observations that range from banal to staggeringly wrong: for this, Douthat gets space at the Times?

    So I’m scanning Memeorandum, and I see a group of posts around one titled, “Lefties Hate Israel.” I figure, ok, same old fauxtrage from usual band of Likudniks. Somewhat curious which “lefties” they are talking about, I click the link to discover “A leading leftist website is urging liberals not to donate to Israeal’s fire relief fund.” Ok, so what “leading leftist website” is this? Oh, it’s The Atlantic. And who is the dirty anti-semite who hates Israel and wants to see it burn? That would be Jeffrey “Look at Israel Funny and You’re a Nazi” Goldberg. Yes, the Likudniks and their ally-in-hoping-you-all-go-to-hell-so-I-can-get-raptured Catholic dipshit extraordinaire Jim Hoft have decided Jeffrey Goldberg is a “lefty” who hates Israel.

    You can’t parody these people. They do a better job themselves.
