Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

This fight is for everything.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I really should read my own blog.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Second rate reporter says what?

The words do not have to be perfect.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Behaving like the greedy thieves

Behaving like the greedy thieves that they are, the House of Representatives, the body with a REPUBLICAN majority, under the cover of darkness, pickpocketed each and every one of us and stole a little bit of our constitutionally protected rights. Shays-Meehan aka the Incumbent Protection Act of 2002 aka The Large Media Monopoly Empowerment act passed the house, by a margin of 240-189. 46 Republicans voted for this, including Shelly Moore-Capito, a representative from my home state. She is the daughter of the convicted crook and former Governor of WV, Arch Moore, so I should have expected this. Shelly, if you are reading this, I am taking back the congratulatory note I wrote you last year.

Two special notes:

1.) Voters of S.C.- Lindsey Graham said: “I’m willing to pay a price in having my friends mad at me.” With special interests giving millions of dollars to the political parties, he said, “you’ll never convince me it doesn’t affect legislation.”

He wants to be your Senator.

2.) I am not voting for a Republican again in a long while. I don’t give two hoots in hell if I am one of 8 votes for Harry Browne or whoever the libertarian candidate is. One of those 8 votes will be mine.

Now it is time to watch the disgusting bastards pass this enormous budget. After all, they are ‘fiscal conservatives.’

Our only hope lies with Mitch McConnell and his band of renegade Constitutionalists in the Senate. Bring on the filibuster.
