Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

You know he’s going to shit a cat.

We still have time to mess this up!

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

It’s possible to be a liberal firebrand without crapping on the party.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Come on, man.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

When we show up, we win.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

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

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

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!

If you’ve never seen one of the Slingshot Channel’s videos, you are missing out on sheer, insane, fun. Jorge Sprave, the genius behind the Slingshot Channel, seems to have more fun, at all times, than anyone I’ve ever seen. In this recent episode from April 7, he demonstrates his fully automatic Ping Pong ball shooting Gatling Gun!
