Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

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

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

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

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

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

This take-down of George McGovern was so funny I had to make sure NO ONE misses it, even though the Instapundit has already linked it. Well done, Jay Caruso. My favorite line:

McGovern: Instead of adding $48 billion to the Pentagon budget, as the President has proposed, wouldn’t we make the world a more stable, secure place if we invested half of that sum in reducing poverty, ignorance, hunger and disease in the world?

Caruso: Well, if they did Senator, the first check for ignorance reduction would go to your address.
