Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

He really is that stupid.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

    Wait, the Guardian says that John McCain is known in America as a “foreign policy expert.”

    Sorry, it’s too early for that shit to be crossing the pond.

    For my birthday today I would like that scum sucking psychopath Gaddafi to be captured. If he was killed too, oh well. Karma’s a bitch.

    @SiubhanDuinne: You forgot to include his statement..

    There’s a lot of good people in the TNC and there’s some people that maybe I wouldn’t have chosen.

    Maybe he should change residency and move to Libya.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Why is this surprising? He’s on the Sunday talkers every fucking week.

    Apparently, being unable to fly military planes straight makes one an expert on international affairs.

    @JPL:

    I love the all-but-explicit statement that it’s up to “us” to decide what kind of democracy is best for Libya.

    And oh yeah, it took us 100 years after the Civil War to get the kind of country we want. (Nothing about losing it in the last 30 years, of course.) just so wrong on so many levels.

    Happy birthday, Cat Lady.

    Not surprising, I guess, just depressing. “Even the liberal Grauniad” etc.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Notice the qualifier – he’s known as an expert in America. They didn’t say he’s an expert.

    @Cat Lady: Happy b’day and more more.
