Depends how far in the hole you are.

You're comms people (I'm assuming, on both counts), so I probably don't have to tell you: no one is swallowing this.

Entire electorate, loudly and in unison: TAX THE RICH!

Corrupt, captured Dem pollsters: I think they said... something about setting the standard deduction at $75,000 for married couples, or $37,500 for individuals?

Booker: It's a simple idea, you see.

Not a bad sentiment, but isn't the non-weasel-Washington-brained argument actually that this war is abjectly immoral, illegal, incompetently run, ruinously expensive, a grave act of subversion of national and international norms, and corrosive to the core of our country's character? Grow a spine.

"The Aristocrats!"

When life gives you dilemmas, make dillemmonade.

“waking up,” a 4-panel cartoon by @alexkrokus. 1: A blue figure and red figure are tied up. Blue awakes in a panic, saying “zzz-what?! where am i?” Red is smiling. 2: Red responds, “you’re in the trolley problem!” They are both, in fact, tied up on the losing track of that famous thought experiment. Several bags of cash are on the other track, and a wealthy gentleman in a top hat and monocle stands at the lever. 3: Blue says, “i thought i would be at the lever…” 4: A smiling Red says to the sweating, panicking Blue, “no, that’s someone else.”

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.

Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.

And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

We’re in a 5-alarm civic, constitutional, and international emergency and no one with any power will say a goddamned word acknowledging it, let alone formulate a plan. It’s beyond dispiriting. It’s practically mental illness–inducing.

It's been done. (Yes, that's a Ford Pinto.)

This is the start of the MAGA Nuremberg tribunals.

We will put Nathan Cavanaugh on trial for breaking the law, and we will put him in prison for a long time. It’s the only way to prevent this from happening again and restore rule of law.

You mean *our mouth*.

Correction: "It's a small price (for you idiots) to pay."

I propose a deal on behalf of the American people: we deliver our executive branch and congressional leaders to the Iranian government to stand trial for their crimes, and in exchange they reopen the Strait of Hormuz

It was also her job to have enough wisdom and conviction to ignore dumb advice from Tony West, Geoff Garin, David Shor, James Carville, and a whole host of dismal, inept party parasites.

Derrida's prose prepared me to endure anything.

Uh, sure... "analysis."

Never one to get bent out of shape, but would definitely hold a grudge.

"Um, I want to say it’s called... Crouch Cream. But that’s not right. It’s a white tube with a red label. I’m sure an intern could research this. It has a silhouette of a horse on it. I don’t know why the horse is on there. I guess horses probably have good knees."

Can't trust a pig with watermelons, ya know.

Troy McClure hosting television's greatest half-hour of paid programming, "I Can't Believe They Invented It!"

"Hi! I’m Troy McClure, star of such films as 'P Is For Psycho' and 'The President’s Neck Is Missing.'"

Yes! Yes, yes, a million times yes! 👏

Good lord. It's not that your claims about op/eds are wrong, but they're just… so… staggeringly… condescending. You really think we don't get opinion vs. news? You're in a bubble with a self-serving delusion about the inerrancy of media… and you're lecturing US? What patronizing coastal dipshittery!

bravo!

The pathological need to treat a course of action as partially defensible simply because the president did it will be the undoing of this country. Trump is a madman and criminal, an open authoritarian, the case against everything he does is very simple and does not evolve over time

At the end of that series they all die due to climate change.

No one can predict the future with 100% accuracy (and, in fact, orracularism is often a prelude to scam). But I sure af wish we would give more credence to those who predicted the present. So crow away. Pummel the world with I-told-you-sos.
