jon ossoff lost by more than someone who, as far as anyone can tell, literally did not exist.

the assumption that, having been told what they were doing was as gauche as a woman trying to talk back to Mr. News, they would all scamper back into their holes properly chastened, may have proven extremely fucking stupid

god, i want to see a Sorkin project set in the modern day. and i want to see the actors playing it completely, utterly straight. give me Jim from the Office playing Sensible Moderate John Bolton in the Trump White House, as contrasted with Respectable Conservative Stephen Miller (Ryan Gosling in a skincap) and Wise…

aren’t the real winners us, the viewing public, who get to hear the dulcet tones of joe biden forgetting where his carers are and visibly panicking

it cannot be stressed enough that the democratic establishment is legitimately horrified of what would happen if they were in power.

I am extremely confident that John Boehner will do everything his caregivers have promised me he will think very hard about doing. After all, he’s friends with Margaret Thatcher, was hired by B- b.... his boss, and when he told me to go to Joe Three Oh Three Three Oh you could see the conviction, among other things,…

describing the clinton team still pulling down six figures a year for losing to Trump as a “success of capitalism” is certainly A Take

ahahahahah holy shit

ambassador bolton.... wellcome too the #Resistance....

god, you know someone’s going to actually take that angle

it has long been the sole redeeming grace of the Trump administration: he publicly humiliates all the people dumb enough to try to enable him.

what can I say: your anger at a child for trying to address the problems is really, really funny to me

what, none of that trademark snark at someone who doesn’t want to die for your convenience?

package for you from a Mr. Gerry Adams

there are a number of things that are profoundly depressing about late capitalism, but the “hollow a victim out so you can use their skin as a puppet to sell merch” bit has always struck me as uniquely ghoulish

Iraq war: good idea, or best idea?

look, going after their insurers for that money would have been a lot harder
