Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

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

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Bark louder, little dog.

I’ve been making zero-budget videos featuring a couple of characters in a classic mismatched-roommates setup. Some of the videos are dialogues about recent history (the Mueller Report, QAnon, et al.), some are brief skits, some are self-indulgent pieces that I pretend are art. All are basically excuses for me to wear costumes in front of a camera. Some day I may get good at it.
