"...little cartoony lightning bolts washing up on beaches from Texas to Florida."

And just like that, you know it was Dok who wrote the piece.

A tunnel to finally straighten out the route from 30th Street Station northward? About damn time! Having to wind through West and North Philly easily adds 15 minutes to the trip. NYC in under an hour? Yes please!

I should have been an economist. You get to fail upwards.

Clearly this is all to distract us from Hunter's dick pix.

"And somewhere, economist Larry Summers, who said last year we’d need a year of 10 percent unemployment to control inflation, realized his balls hurt, the end."

Deservedly so.

Reaganomics: Great for billionaire parasites

Bidenomics: Great for the 99%

No wonder the parasite cheerleaders of the WSJ don't like Bidenomics.

My mother said to me yesterday "I wish we had a better train system in this country."

My reply was "but you kept voting for tax cuts on the wealthy, so we gave up nice things like trains and healthcare so Charles Koch could die with more money."

It's almost like you can't have everything!

How can we trust a man, who unverified sources are saying, pressured Ukraine to give him $10 million????

"Sen. Chuck Grassley on Thursday released a confidential FBI informant's unverified claim that, years ago, the Biden family "pushed" a Ukrainian oligarch to pay them $10 million.

The exceedingly rare step by Grassley, R-Iowa, further promulgates an allegation that Democratic critics warned against accepting at face value and which the White House continues to deny, saying it was investigated under the Trump administration and "debunked.""

DEBUNKED? Sure, Joe, sure, we all KNOW you're much more of a crook than your very cool and very legal and very patriotic predecessor.

I do hope that Larry Summers never recovers from the balls hurting thing. Never, ever.

My wonkette visit times are becoming rarer and shorter. The comment section looks like an ugly text wall with no pics or gifs are anything to break it up. The snarkiest political site on the internet looks like Federalist comment section.
