Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

White supremacy is terrorism.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Republicans do not trust women.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Second rate reporter says what?

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

“So not only did the tax cut fail to prevent a recession, as its supporters said it would,” Mr. Daschle said, “it probably made the recession worse.”

My thoughts:

A.) He can NOT POSSIBLY think this is true.
B.) He can NOT POSSIBLY believe this is true.
C.) He can NOT POSSIBLY think WE believe this.

-and finally-

D.) If he is right, I want a refund from my undergraduate economics professors.

From the same speech, this gem (referencing the tax cuts as helping to lessen the recession):

“What we got instead,” he said, “was the most dramatic fiscal deterioration in our nation’s history.”

I wonder if Mr. Daschle remembers this.
