Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

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

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

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

How stupid are these people?

Republicans in disarray!

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

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Republicans do not trust women.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

I love the NY Times because they produce editorials like this.

The Bush administration’s plans for military tribunals to try suspected terrorists are less troubling now than they were when the idea was first announced four months ago. But there is still no practical or legal justification for having the tribunals. The United States has a criminal justice system that is a model for the rest of the world. There is no reason to scrap it in these cases.

Here is how it works, from the NY Times handbook on how to bash anyone to the right of Nader.

1.) Before any action of your opponents, make wild exxagerated claims. Claims like, ‘Bush and Ashcroft want to suspend habeus corpus with secret military trials’
2.) When the guidelines come out, and they are not as onerous and awful as you have screamed from your editorial pages, do not admit sheepishly that all along you were wrong. INstead, pretend that is was your oversight that ‘moderated’ the administration.
3.) Continue to insist the action is a bad idea anyway.
4.) In the future, refer back to point #1 so that you may paint your political opponents as fascists running a secret government, but do not repeat or mention steps 2-3.
