Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Republicans in disarray!

Republicans do not trust women.

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

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Bark louder, little dog.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

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

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

SHOCKED!

OUTRAGED!!

APPALLED!!!

Those were the reactions from Margaret Carlsonand the rest of the demagogo-pundits in the national media last week when Karl Rove stated matter-of-factly that the American people think Republicans will handle the war on terrorism better than Democrats.

Crass!!

How Partisan!!!

Exploiting 9/11 for Political Gain!!!

The latest ABC news/ WaPo poll shows that when asked the question “Which political party, the (Democrats) or the (Republicans), do you trust to do a better job…?”

Handling national defense and the military budget: Democrats- 27%, Republicans- 63%

Handling the U.S. campaign against terrorism: Democrats- 23%, Republicans- 62%

Washington, where scandals are created by observing facts and telling the truth.
