On to tonight’s 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 I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks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.
Note: 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 Paul A:
I recommend 4CasandChlo's comment to Joan McCarter's diary on McConnell trying to shuffle off blame for not obstructing the Russians. We need to hear this message from all Democrats running for office.
From elfling:
Write On is a weekly series that usually includes a set of short writing challenges. This week, Tara the Antisocial Social Worker amuses us with her topical take on a short including the words “leopard” and “solidarity.” Those two words are funny enough on their own but Tara always manages something special...
Apologies, four more submissions (YAY community! Please reload to view! And thanks so much to our intrepid submitters! We love you!)
From FindingMyVoice:
khaavren's excellent summation of the Barr presser this morning, from Mark Summer's live blog. (Ed. note: This should be viral!!!)
H/t to Mom to Miss M for the suggestion :)
From Eyesbright:
This comment, by jsteve7, deserves recognition and applause!
No both-siderism here!
From ColoTim:
I am submitting this terrific ‘play on an opera’ comment by Champurrado. The opera is, of course, "Jesus Christ, Superstar" and the comment is Masterful.
From Youffraita:
I am submitting this great comment from rugbymom, in SouthernLeveller's diary. Please read!
