If only it worked like this! I’d sacrifice my son to Cthulhu, if that would make it so.

Well, all right; not *my* son. But Steve and Kathy Doocy’s son, anyway.

"Scenes we'd like to see"! This is beautiful, and you should become (as Key & Peele's "Luther" was "President Obama"'s Anger Translator) Joe's Disgust Heckler...

Wait," cum laude” isn't a gospel song?

And did I just imagine yesterday? Or am I imagining this?

Note to self - get more of that weed...

Question - does your dealer have edibles, and how much?

Yeah, okay, this is my preferred reality. Nobody tell me what really happened.

Ah, Roy, you remind me of hours spent giggling over The Rude Pundit's debate scenarios.

For the record, if you had asked for, like, blog posts that always make me giggle when I read them, I've got that.

“Too stupid to know he’s malevolent and too malevolent to know he’s stupid” is an accurate description of about 75% of conservative pundits and journalists. The other 25% know what they’re doing and are simply amoral grifters.

I thought Trump coarsened the presidency and was hopeful Biden would return a little gravitas to the job, but at this stage I would love to see him tell many of the decision makers at the New York Times to go fuck themselves. Pass the popcorn.

They want soooo badly for TFG to come back they're trying to turn off-the-cuff remarks into nontroversy like they used to do whenever that Russian asset opened *his* mouth. Seriously, they're devoting more airtime/column inches to this than to the prospect of an actual shooting war in Ukraine.

Well, I have it on good authority from commenters on Alicu that we're not supposed to worry about it either, but spend our time discrediting a dorkwad "journalist" (& happy target for nontroversy) who is against involvement.

So machts nichts, I guess.

It's the perfect news story that everyone can love. Right-wingers love it because it feeds their endless need for fake victim status, the rest of us love it because Peter Doocy truly is one dumb son of a bitch.

The popular perception among Dems and Trumpers alike is that Biden is on the decline, so if he comes out just calling people "dumb mother fuckers" and "ass-eating shit whores" then I think the America people will realize Uncle Joe still has some piss and vinegar left. He won't do that, and maybe he shouldn't, but voters want guys who throw a punch, not read a book.

"I have the people’s business to do, so goodbye, fuck you, and eat my ass." - sigh, both sides race to the bottom.

Against my better judgment I do laugh at the portrayal of persons who bear a responsibility to behave better behaving badly and abusing their positions of power. If the character is witty and brainy about it, so much the better. Unfortunately we have the actual examples of late, and it is not a new thing. Humans have always been stupid sons of bitches beneath their decorum, even if some realize that behaving yourself otherwise actually makes a difference.

LOL, I see what you did there.

If only — (now I see Marcas beat me to it). Especially on the economic numbers.

Inflation Hysteria is quite something. After Nazism went to shit, a lot of Germans claimed it was the hyperinflation that drove them to it, having to take a wheelbarrow full of cash to the market for a loaf of bread, and all that. As for Americans, seems we have a lower threshold. A single year of 6% inflation and we're ready to pull the trigger for fascism. "That loaf of bread that was $2.00 last year is now $2.12! OH GOD BRING ON THE BROWNSHIRTS, JUST MAKE IT STOP"

Fox is giving that stupid son of a bitch Jesse Watters a prime time news slot. The IQ of America’s elderly racists will fall below 100 in 4…3…2…

Can we replace the real Joe Biden with this parody version? I like this parody version a lot more.

Joining a focus group of Suburban Moms in progress, outraged by Biden's mask and vaccine mandates, they SWEAR they voted for him last time but this potty-mouthing is TOO MUCH and leaves them no choice.

What else can I write but LOL? Your approval rating dial is hockey-sticking upwards.
