Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

We still have time to mess this up!

Their shamelessness is their super power.

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

Let there be snark.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

The National Guard is not Batman.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Petty moves from a petty man.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

In every scene, you are my star, Michelle Obama! Happy birthday, baby!

 

Harkening back to a time when the Oval Office wasn’t occupied by a criminal cartel. Happy birthday to one of the best First Ladies ever.
