Did you hear the news? Mueller might testify before the House Judiciary Committee on the 15th. What does this mean for Trump and Russia and the pee tape? We’ll find out. In the meantime, just remember that trade wars are easy to win. Continue reading The Monday Politics Thread is Buying the Popcorn for May 15th

It’s Monday again, and you know what that means — The week has begun again.  Mueller finally submitted his report, and, well…..yeah.  So far, seems to have landed like a wet fart. And then there’s this fellow: Yeah, you know who he is.  Look at that poise, that stare off into the distance.  Pete “The Butt” Buttigieg (pronounced “Boot-edge-edge,” “Buddha-judge,” “Boot-a-judge,” or “Boo-tuh-judge,” depending on who you ask) is in the running for the Democratic nominee for president, and is basically Beto O’Rourke with a little more political experience, AND military background.  He even plays goddamn guitar.  If we must … Continue reading The Monday Politics Thread Has a Thing for Bu–Wait a Minute

So, we all should know what happened this morning: a shooter at a New Zealand mosque killed at least 49 people, and injured many others. The discussion page for it is here. It’s Friday. It already sucks. Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread is So Tired of This

That’s right, it’s National Drink Wine Day! Time to get out those wine glasses and drink to excess, because we all need it. Nothing else of importance is going on anyw–what’s that? It’s President’s Day? Oh, well then. Uh. This is awkward. And that’s pretty normal for Monday. Continue reading The Monday Politics Thread Celebrates The Holiday

Almost as of the South never really released its insidious hold on some people, despite the switch of party ideology. He should resign, but so far, he’s not budging. What wonderful (editor’s note: probably not wonderful, and very probably horrible) surprises await us this week? Tune in for another exciting week of The Politics Thread!

Well, this is it; the last day of 2018.  Tomorrow is a new year, and a new House, and a new fresh hell as the rotting orange corpse that is our president continues to be a tweeting, moronic dip shit who still has no idea how the government works.   Yeah, we’re boned.   Continue reading The Monday Politics Thread is the Last of 2018

It’s Christmas Eve, and for those of us who celebrate anything resembling the holiday, it should be a day of looking forward to tomorrow’s gluttony and gift giving and telling off drunk relatives. For those who don’t, it’s a day for eating at the local Chinese and going on about your business, with less gift giving but possibly the same amount of drunk relatives. For Christmas this year, Trump has gifted us with our first unwanted gift, and kept the receipt so we can’t return it. Government shutdown, baby! Just what we didn’t want! Furloughed employees always look forward to … Continue reading The Monday Politics Thread Blames Everyone Else For This Nonsense
