Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
That sums up our day today here at Casa Brillig… thanks to a work clusterfuck emergency with a client, Mr. Brillig had to make an emergency trip to do an onsite fix. He says it could take five minutes, or lots of hours, and he won’t know til he gets there. He’s got two days worth of clothes, so lets hope he’s on a plane back home before the long weekend gets going!
In the meantime, the K’s and I are holding down the fort. I got a ride to the airport to pick up Mr. Brillig’s car since mine will be in the shop tomorrow and I have to be parental taxi. And then offered to pick up tonight’s TC when our slated diarist Tara TASW’s interwebs decided to send her back to the pre-online age. Wishing her a quick return to the modern era as I offer you the trio of Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures we deliver every evening with YOUR help!
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
From Ed Tracey:
In Jessica Sterling’s front-page story about the January arrest and tasering of Milwaukee Bucks guard Sterling Brown, antirove offers us non-residents a geo-political account of the Badger State.
From MikeTheLiberal:
I am nominating ChicagoAl’s comment from Tuesday’s diary Josh Marshall May Be On To Something About Trump and His Milieu. Others are Getting the Same Vibe. Because it is clear there is a lot of denial going on in this country, and worse, there’s little the general public seems to be able to do about it.
