Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Usually wrong but never in doubt

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

In my day, never was longer.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

So very ready.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

In between snarls and streams

In between snarls and streams of spittle, Justin Raimondo states (shouts?? Oozes?):

Oh yes, we must be sure to keep up our relentless Full-Bore-Fact-Check on the Saudis – but never the Israelis. That is one of the cardinal rules of warblogging: never the Israelis. As His Majesty, King Andrew, recently announced: Israel must be supported “unequivocally” – i.e. no matter what horrors are carried out by Ariel Sharon and his nutball rightwing followers.

I guess I am guilty of fact checking only the Arabs- maybe it is the track record of misogyny, outdated theocratic and autocratic rule, perpetual human rights abuses, vile anti-semitism, the cozy support of former and current Marxist regimes, and the justification of terrorism and outright murder of innocent Jews that caught my attention.

At any rate, why fact check the Israelis? After all, the Jews control the media. The Holocaust never happened, etc.

The whole article just annoyed me. Attacking Glenn Reynolds, Ken Layne, Sgt.Stryker, and Andrew Sullivan, tarring them as racist and vile arab haters, without paying the slightest attention to what they actually say, just irks me. Back in your hole, Justin. And I agree with Matt Welch. Justin is creepy looking.
