Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

No one could have predicted…

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

We need fewer warriors in public service and more gardeners.

The revolution will be supervised.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

… makes me wish i had hoarded more linguine

This blog goes to 11…

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

Let there be snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn – Nancy Pelosi

Everybody saw this coming.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

They are all Michael Cohen now.

It was down to kool-aid drinkers and next of kin at the trump White House

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Naturally gregarious and alpha

The house always wins.

Shocking, but not surprising

This fight is for everything.

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

Wetsuit optional.

Deploy the moving finger of emphasisity!

"Our economy isn't working the way it should because our democracy isn't working the way it should." Key line of the night. Very true.

— David Atkins (@DavidOAtkins) July 29, 2016

The DNC is co-opting Republican tropes while maintaining Democratic ones because there is now only one political party for grown-ups.

Guys, the reference to Hamilton wasn't for the Acela corridor elite. It was for the Puerto Ricans living in Florida.

A quarter million are watching this on the YouTube channel where 13,000 watched the GOP nominee's speech.

Tips for Trump for his inevitable Twitter rant

1. Don't retweet white supremacists

2. Don't retweet anything w/word "bitch"

3. Punctuate

— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 29, 2016

This is going so well that for attention tomorrow, Trump is gonna straight up tweet the n-word.

— Josh Patten (@thejoshpatten) July 29, 2016

The Khizr Khan speech is just going to enrage Trumpkins because somewhere inside, it made them ashamed.

You know what this convention really needed? An angry Muslim with a thick accent like Fareed Zacaria.

DNC Night 2: This Is What My America Looks Like

This post is in: Election 2016, Open Threads, Politics, Woman in the Whitehouse 2016

I have no idea where the other FPs are, but I expect John to bigfoot this one moments after I post. But it does look the like we could use a part 2 before Bill Clinton steps up to the plate.

I’ve been clicking around youtube and found this, and believe it or not, I had never heard it in its entirety before:

And then of course I had to rewatch this, just to remember the joy of that night:

This here’s a DNC open thread…waiting for the Big Dog….

ETA: I swear there were no posts in process when I started editing this one. Now I’ve bigfooted Betty Cracker. Sigh. Apologies.

A Moment In History – Letting It Sink In

I was more emotional than I thought I would be….but my niece is sitting in my guest room, talking back to my floor guy regarding Trump (she’s 9, he’s for Trump) and all I can think is…this is historic. We have to win this for her and all the other children who need to grow up in a world where Love trumps Hate.

PHILADELPHIA — Hillary Clinton is now officially the Democratic presidential nominee, making history as the first woman ever to secure the backing of a major American political party.

Clinton was formally nominated on the second evening of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, more than nine years after launching her first presidential bid. It was largely an evening of unity after an opening night marked by resistance from die-hard supporters of Democratic runner-up, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
