Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck if i know. i just get yelled at when i try it.

Everybody saw this coming.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

All this crying. this is why i don’t click on stuff.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Han shot first.

Tick tock motherfuckers! Tick fucking tock!

Wetsuit optional.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Shocking, but not surprising

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

I personally stopped the public option…

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

Yes we did.

What fresh hell is this?

The math demands it!

False Scribes! False Scribes!

Well, except the wingnuts. fuck those guys!

Verified, but limited!

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Peak wingnut was a lie.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

The willow is too close to the house.

Lookit the big guns on MEEEEEEEEE!!!

Pretty good idea why she named her salmonella shack ‘Shooters’.

There are genuinely dangerous Republicans in Congress, but Boebert is dangerous only to those with range (and then mostly incidentally). To be catty, since all she really seems to want is to stand in the spotlight while awed spectators stare at her, rhinoplasty / chin work / lasik surgery would’ve been more cost-effective than running for election…

Acceptance Level: Unlocked

Well, here it is:

Acceptance Level Unlocked

I edited out all the whiny lies. (You’re welcome.) But this is progress of a sort — the only concession this repulsive crybaby is ever likely to make. For the next 65 days, this egomaniacal wretch will do everything in his power to foment division and delegitimize the incoming administration.

There’s no way Trump sticks around the White House on January 20th to greet his successor and attend the inauguration as honor compels real presidents to do, no matter how hard fought the race. He’ll probably demand that all the toadies boycott the inauguration too.

In a way, good riddance — who wants those puling babies around stinking up the event with their loaded diapers? But Trump is playing a dangerous game with the country, and for no other reason than malice and spite. Fuck that guy.

Now, I’m off to continue binge-watching the latest season of The Crown.

Open thread!

I’m Too Lazy to Write A Substantive Post About Anything But Here is an Attempt

Looking at one of today’s amusing events, one of the things about contrarians and people who always play the Devil’s Adovcate is that they spend so long going against the grain that they naturally start to think that any time someone tells them they are wrong or full of it, then that just means THEY ARE ON TO SOMETHING and THE MAN IS TRYING TO KEEP THEM DOWN. So the more you try to tell them “umm, this is bullshit, show some receipts,” the more they think they are right and correct and the ONLY ONE WHO GETS IT. This then pushes them to find those who are more like them and to seek out those voices who reinforce what they are thinking. And pretty soon, before you know it, you go from reasonable posts about the NSA having way too much authority and doing all sorts of objectively wrong shit to “ZOMG I TOTALLY A THINK THESE OBVIOUS FAKES OF HUNTER BIDEN BANGING TEENS ARE REAL AND EVERYONE IS TRYING TO SILENCE ME DAMNED SHEEPLE.”

And such is life.

On another note, it is amusing to me that many people seem familiar with the concept of cokeheads but clearly have never spent any time with them. It would not at all surprise me that three eightballs and 4 gallons of scotch into a three day bender, Hunter Biden was caught on tape with any number of crazy business propositions. I bet he and his friends have had literally hundreds of conversations about ways to make money- in one night. Probably at 5 am with the curtains drawn as the sun comes up as they call someone looking for something to take the edge off when doing more lines doesn’t get them more high but does keep them from crashing and man their jaws are sore from grinding.

If you know, you know. What does this have to do with Joe Biden? Approximately fuck all. Unless you are an idiot.

And people who try to use the drug addiction and trouble of someone’s kid against the parents is the lowest form of fucking low.

2020 Republican Platform Now Officially Cleek’s Law

by | 85 Comments

Cleek is a visionary:

i can do it in one word: ~liberal

or, for those of you who don’t grok the boolean: today’s conservatism is the opposite of what liberals want today: updated daily.

or: cowardly authoritarians pretending to be individualists.

or: the cynical leading the stupid.

or: I Got Mine

or: who said we weren’t tolerant? we tolerate racists just fine!

The RNC has released their 2020 platform, and boy howdy is it a doozy:

RESOLUTION REGARDING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM

WHEREAS, The Republican National Committee (RNC) has significantly scaled back the size and scope of the 2020 Republican National Convention in Charlotte due to strict restrictions on gatherings and meetings, and out of concern for the safety of convention attendees and our hosts;

WHEREAS, The RNC has unanimously voted to forego the Convention Committee on Platform, in appreciation of the fact that it did not want a small contingent of delegates formulating a new platform without the breadth of perspectives within the ever-growing Republican movement;

WHEREAS, All platforms are snapshots of the historical contexts in which they are born, and parties abide by their policy priorities, rather than their political rhetoric;

WHEREAS, The RNC, had the Platform Committee been able to convene in 2020, would have undoubtedly unanimously agreed to reassert the Party’s strong support for President Donald Trump and his Administration;

WHEREAS, The media has outrageously misrepresented the implications of the RNC not adopting a new platform in 2020 and continues to engage in misleading advocacy for the failed policies of the Obama-Biden Administration, rather than providing the public with unbiased reporting of facts; and

WHEREAS, The RNC enthusiastically supports President Trump and continues to reject the policy positions of the Obama-Biden Administration, as well as those espoused by the Democratic National Committee today; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Republican Party has and will continue to enthusiastically support the President’s America-first agenda;

RESOVLVED, That the 2020 Republican National Convention will adjourn without adopting a new platform until the 2024 Republican National Convention;

RESOLVED, That the 2020 Republican National Convention calls on the media to engage in accurate and unbiased reporting, especially as it relates to the strong support of the RNC for President Trump and his Administration; and

RESOLVED, That any motion to amend the 2016 Platform or to adopt a new platform, including any motion to suspend the procedures that will allow doing so, will be ruled out of order.

Also, all the speakers are either Trumps or married to Trumps. Interestingly enough, Tiffany is scheduled to speak, so apparently she is back in the will.
