Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Newsflash: John Solomon Finds Dirt!

by Tim F|  July 10, 200710:26 am| 18 Comments

This post is in: Republican Crime Syndicate - aka the Bush Admin.

John Solomon, the Charlie Brown of Gotcha! journalism, may have defied the odds and made contact with the football. As he sought to renew the USA Patriot Act two years ago, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales assured lawmakers that the FBI had not abused its potent new terrorism-fighting powers. “There has not been one verified …

Four Strikes For John Solomon

by Tim F|  October 12, 20069:41 am| 58 Comments

This post is in: Politics, General Stupidity

JC asks below what exactly there is to this Harry Reid land deal story. Subcommandante Markos puts it best – absolutely nada. Actually that is not completely true.

John Solomon Whiffs Again

by Tim F|  June 1, 20069:02 am| 18 Comments

This post is in: Politics, General Stupidity

A few days ago Harry Reid told the AP that Senate rules permit a Senator to accept items of value from home-state government agencies. In fact the rules are less strict, allowing Senators to accept items of value from government agencies of any state. Either way he is perfectly in the clear. So what is …

Here are some odds and ends for your consideration. Little Big Man Our pup Pete is a hefty micro-dog! Since he’s growing fast, I have to take him to the vet monthly for weigh-in so we can give him the right heartworm/flea prevention med dose. As of today, he weighs damn near as much as …

This post is in: Foreign Affairs, Military, Open Threads, Russia, Silverman on Security, War, War in Ukraine

(Image found here) Before we start I just want to take a moment and deal with some of the domestic politics news from today because its actually tangential to Putin’s reinvasion of Ukraine. As AL dealt with in her post earlier today, we now know that almost 8 hours is missing from the White House …
