Long time paid subscriber here but I'll throw in an extra fiddy next month because we got our tax refund (have to file an extension so we know what we paid in Spanish taxes which is always more) and I'm splurging on an upright bass plus doodads to amplify it so the Wonkette payoff is a rounding error.
Also I kinda like all of you. Don't tell the others.
"Erick Erickson said he won’t vote for Georgia GOP Senate candidate Mike Collins while urging fellow Republicans to demand better in the candidates presented to voters: “The only way to stop being force-fed shit sandwiches is to refuse to eat them and demand better.”
“We keep getting worse and worse candidates, and we keep being told we must support them to save the country from the Left. At some point, we have to ask what it does to our own souls to keep convincing ourselves that we must support objectively awful people because the other side is awful too,” he said in a Substack essay published Thursday titled: “I’m Tired of Eating Sh— Sandwiches and Being Told They’re Delicious.”
He also called Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton “a serial adulterer” and swindler, and Ohio gubernatorial-hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy “a grifter.” [HuffPost updates]
Not voting for them is one thing. Voting for the opponent is a better way to get rid of them and send the message. Not voting gives them a better chance to win and if they do, even by a lesser margin, nothing is solved and you will get more of the same.
This is not a diss to any of my fellow Wonketteers, but I can't even with the Vivek-Amy ad thing. I can't even imagine someone so depraved that would create and promote that. I'm getting very intolerant of child sex assaulters and their enablers. A campaign staff that thought that ad was a *good* thing. That's just depravity.
Oh for fuck's sake. If ANY Ohio voter still supports Vivek after this truly awful bullshit, they richly deserve to be beaten repeatedly and with great fervor.
They don't believe that the parent is right. They believe that the child is the parent's property. They don't view children as having rights, which is also why you see these estranged evangelical parents demand "visitation rights" for their grandkids.
I'm kinda tired of people being shocked by them. Until the shock ends, the shocking behavior will continue... we have to end the shock and start the action. They'll eventually end the martial law, one way or the other.
Fine. Have another $20. I woulda spent it on booze and pot and wasted the rest.
need a good times read?
how about some neighbors stepping up to help kittens!

Please record footage of you playing that upright bass.
I might mistake it for a cello anyway.
It’ll be our little secret.
And sometimes you're the goat (allegedly):

Stopped clock and all that.
He's right in each case. But what is so goddamned bad about the Left, Erick? Jesus tapdancin' Christ, what are you so goddamn afraid of?

They keep getting worse and worse candidates because no one wants to get beat up by Demented Don and his keyboard warrior hordes.
Can you say "federal overreach"?
I thought you could.
Is Mitch McConnell still not dead? I get the sense he hasn't been out campaigning for the Republicans.
His big “return to the Senate” appears to have been merely another “proof of life” photo op.

There is no bottom to these Nazis.
This is inhuman. I can't control my reactions to this.
To still push the ad even after the backlash just shows the absolute true vile nature of these people.
We're being haunted by the Ghost of Roy Cohn.
Just think, we could be looking at these instead of pictures of awful people.

His wife just threw a half a million at Amy Acton's campaign, too.
The spectacle of American Exceptionalism continues to appall us over here in the ROW.

Henlo!
Yr friendly Budgie-Keet has a monthly *skiption* to keep Le Site Du Wonkette rolling in currency!
But if that is too much for U, U can drop a one-time donation of *any* amount at all.
Or, if you like this place and want it to grow, copy and URL and share it to like-minded friends!
Get grumpy! Talk about shitte while U are on line at the place U get yr food!
"Did you hear about that crazy thing that happened today, how the President wants to seize Canada again? There's a story about it on Wonkette."
And watch as everyone looks at you funny while they're pushing their carts full of fruits and veggies and microwave boxes.
All gud ideas, Birb!
You might want to turn around and see if anybody has grapes or bananas in their cart.
"Good!" you can say. "Way to get yr Vitamin Cee and potassium with yr wine pellets and potassium sticks!
😂😂😂
OT: DOJ says Mary Peltola is cheating by running against two Republicans named Dan Sullivan.
So if she wins, they’ll sue her to block the result. This is what abuse looks like.
A good law ‘splainer.

I was in the life for 20 years and never saw desperation this extreme.
I’m a retired lawyer and I never saw garbage filings like this.
Certainly not from the fucking DOJ.
Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother.
“In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”

I want to punch him, repeatedly.
Oh for fuck's sake. If ANY Ohio voter still supports Vivek after this truly awful bullshit, they richly deserve to be beaten repeatedly and with great fervor.
I'm awarding Vivek Ramaswamy my Jackhammer Award.
"For excellence in the field of hitting rock bottom and then going to get a jackhammer"
What a miserable little prick he is. I hope that after midterms we never hear from him again.
There was once a ship called the Titanic
Ramaswamy told us not to panic
Then he sat down to figure
How to make the hole bigger.
...And go blame a random Hispanic!
Cough. Sorry, had to complete the limerick.
No worries. It was a spontaneous brain fart.
It's like walking into a room with a piano and people sitting around, playing a scale, excepting the last note, and walking out of the
Of course he did and they believe it. She probably asked for it by wearing those short britches!!!
Also not having her school change her arms into guns.
Would that have made her a TRANSformer?
Flawed? According to MAGA, you're flawed, Vivek, because of your skin color and cultural heritage. Go piss up a rope, you one trick loser.
Some real Nazi shit.
I'm so sick of the assumption that the parent is right all the time. Even when they molest or effectuate the molestation of their child.
They don't believe that the parent is right. They believe that the child is the parent's property. They don't view children as having rights, which is also why you see these estranged evangelical parents demand "visitation rights" for their grandkids.
Yes, this. Exactly. It's ownership and the "hierarchy" again.
I'm kinda tired of people being shocked by them. Until the shock ends, the shocking behavior will continue... we have to end the shock and start the action. They'll eventually end the martial law, one way or the other.
Folks--friendly reminder
Anyone tries to mess with your vote?
CALL 1-800-OUR VOTE!
TACO realizes when he says something to the press they will report it right? I mean thats the point.
His staff.....like doing damage control on the Hindenburg.
