Remembering Daniel Craig answering that question from the kid in Road to Perdition - "Why are you always smiling?"

"'Cause it's all so fucking hilarious."

The NYTimes busy organizing twelve op-ed pieces for tomorrow’s front page on how France choosing compromise over fascism is bad for Biden

It's weird that in 2 of the 3 big onscreen comic book universes (Marvel, DC & Amazon "The Boys") smart black women are the bad guys. Sister Sage - The Boys - evil Amanda Waller - DC - evil onscreen and in the books. Only Marvel presents smart black women positively. Shuri and Riri. Weird, right?

I guess one bright spot to look forward to is that they greenlit a Master and Commander sequel. With Timothée Chalamet as Jack Aubrey.

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.

It would be like Batman decided to put disgusting little bat fingers at the ends of his cape.

It's really something that Wildcat decided to go full cat nose and cat whiskers with his costume. That's just dedication to your animal avatar.

The fact that WIP isn't kicking Howard Eskin off the air is such a Trump moment. Just grab them right in the . . .

Kamala Harris: "I am the most stereotypical California liberal you can imagine" Online lefties, 2020 - last week: "NO YOU'RE A COP." Online lefties, realizing politics is more than vibes: "oh damn, I think the black woman from California might be more left than the white one from Michigan"

I love Brandon Marsh as the next Phillies fan. But I'm looking at Logan O'Hoppe's numbers and I think we made a mistake.

Thought experiment: Imagine if Obama, after claiming an election had been stolen from him and being convicted of 34 felonies, was granted immunity by SCOTUS justices who had taken undisclosed luxury trips on George Soros' dime. The fact that you can't even imagine this scenario tells you something.

Ratfucker Jr. looks like one of the Reservoir Dogs that just stumbled into the warehouse just in time to see Mr. Blonde cut off the cop's ear.

it’s funny because local politics are mostly unaffected since there’s no such thing as a local meme going viral. but national politics are propelled by whatever ideas are getting dumped into people’s heads during their four-hour daily TikTok or Facebook sessions

Yep. One of the biggest blind spots people have is assuming that underneath, others share the same basic values as them. They have trouble imagining an ideology that is completely misaligned with theirs.

I’m still in camp ‘better gallows humor than none’ … oh shit, I’m in a camp?

Is there a name for the law by which gallows humor gets less funny in direct proportion to how close the actual gallows are?

The story of Trump insulting service members was confirmed by Trump's own chief of staff. Right-wing media are still denying it. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

The story of Trump insulting service members was confirmed by Trump's own chief of staff. Right-wing media are still denying it.www.mediamatters.org After The Atlantic reported in 2020 that former President Donald Trump had disparaged fallen soldiers as "suckers" and "losers" during a trip to Paris in 2018, right-wing media erupted to protect the ...

Take one bit of cheer from today. Historically, the First of July was a rough day for the Union Army at Gettysburg. But we know how it turned out. #Gettysburg

There's maybe one Democrat who can beat Donald Trump at this point if we switch horses. And, it is this guy, and in this specific outfit.

Are we just going to sit back and take this? YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT WE ARE!!!

I wonder to what extent reporters are behaving like this in the hopes of living out some romantic fantasy where the goons break into their newsroom and they have to join the underground and they fall in love with a hot member of the proletariat and have super hot resistance sex before being hung?

“What makes you so confident you should be president?” is an actual question a reporter shouted at the incumbent who just warned about a reckless court decision that imperils democracy

New flag spotted at the Alito's home today.

The amazing thing about the Hawk Tuah Girl is her homogeneity with millions of Hawk Tuah Girls across this great country. Also, I would bet that she's MAGA and is anti-abortion.

It's like the Supreme Court (think radioactive spider) has given Joe Biden (think Peter Parker) all this great power. And with great power comes the ability to administer great ass-kickings.

If the Democratic Party instituted a Hunger Games replacement strategy - two questions: 1) Who would win? 2.) Why would it be Pete Buttigieg?

Which one is Kent Brockman?

Gotta love Jake the Snake. He's seen what our new, well, recycled Ant Overlord has to offer and he says "Give me some of that sugar, baby."

Jake Tapper Blasts Democrats for Defending Biden’s ‘Stunningly Flawed’ Debatewww.mediaite.com CNN anchor Jake Tapper began Monday's episode of The Lead with a monologue that pulled no punches about President Joe Biden's "stunningly flawed" debate performance, invoking George Orwell's dystopian...

Oh, what a relief. I was afraid that the Supreme Court thing would quell all the Genocide Joe fuckwits. Thank god they're still here.

Not one more minute of defensiveness from the Biden campaign, please. Not one more question answered about age or debates. All day, every day, a referendum on Trump's criminality and assault on the constitutional order, on what he would be like with blank check for his lawlessness.

Watching Nick Castellanos hit a single and then the ball boy comes over and Castellanos starts removing all his arm pads, elbow pads and shin guards and handing them over to the ball boy. It struck me it was like a knight removing his armor and handing it over to his squire.

Jake Tapper isn't going to save us for sure. But Jon Stewart and John Oliver aren't going to save us either. Remember as much as we go after the news media for bothsides-ing this thing, the late-night joke guys have to get their licks in on Biden too to keep the kiddos in their audience happy.

Did you ever notice in all the big moments when he could come through big, Jake Tapper shits the bed? The country needed Edward R. Murrow. Tapper didn't even give us Edward Munster.
