Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

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