Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Second rate reporter says what?

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

“woke” is the new caravan.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

In an attempt to prove

In an attempt to prove that guest letter writers can be as idiotic as regular columnists (insert your Ted Rall, Jacob Weisberg or columnist of your choice link here), a WaPo reader states that:

At this time, when disagreeing with the foreign policy of our country is akin to treason, maybe we should take a moment to look at what we do to cause our own internal fanatics, if only to understand what we can do to help prevent future foreign fanatics from attacking our shores.

Let’s see, one sentence indirectly covers non-existent civil rights erosion hysteria post 9/11, touches on the ‘blame America’ theme, and cries out to examine ‘root causes.’ Folks- this is a left-wing trifecta!

The whole letter is here, although it probably should have been sent here.

Triple Yawn.
