Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

We won’t go back.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Giving up is unforgivable. ~Joe Biden

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Regrets, I Have a Few: Trump’s Young Black Leadership Conference

by | 49 Comments

This post is in: , ,

I made a snarky response on twitter, forgetting what Trump supporters are like. Now I’m in a whirlwind of approval and equal nastiness.

But honestly? Can anyone blame me for thinking it would be another “Hispanics for Trump” and “Blacks for Trump” signs being held up by a sea of white faces?

News reports say there were 200 attendees – black, white and orange. There is a real lack of photos of the audience. Just the front two rows.

Anyway…I’m about ready to delete my tweet because I’m over the interaction. LOL, I prefer my tweets unread.

What are your thoughts on this rally?

Perhaps…rotate your improbable confections once a day for six months…

 

My son dug this up (it should be noted that the sole useful purpose of a sixteen year old roommate is exposure to the zeitgeist — or at least that part of it to which us certain-age types have no direct access). I am awed by the whacky patience required to come up with a chocolate geode.

What’s the most unlikely project you’ve ever attempted. Did it work?

And beyond that question…open thread.

PS: lovely meet up last night. As usual, I completely failed to match up names to nyms but it was a hoot to see such friendly jackals in congress.

LSU has dispatched Loo-uh-vull, and Georgia Tech handily dismantled Kentucky, so now it’s on to the games with title implications: ‘Bama vs. Washington starts at 3 PM ET (Roll Tide!), and Ohio State and Clemson play at 7 PM (Go Clemson!).

I’ve got ropa vieja simmering in the kitchen (following this recipe, more or less, only I use Goya Adobo instead of assembling the spice mix described in the recipe because ain’t nobody got TIME for that shit!) and am enjoying the beautiful weather outside.

A beer would complete the circle of my domestic contentment, but I gotta pace myself: I want to make damn sure I’m awake at midnight to watch motherfucking 2016 die!

Open thread for both sportsball and non-sportsball talk!

In this recent episode from April 7, he demonstrates his fully automatic Ping Pong ball shooting Gatling Gun!
