Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

We will not go back.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Anthony Weiner, (D., NY), come

Anthony Weiner, (D., NY), come eat your crow:

Last summer, in Salon, an obnoxious and obtuse Anthony Wenier and crew hit every media outlet, including Salon, and demanded an apology from the White House for (can you believe this), besmirching the character of the Clinton White House staff:

“I believe that the responsibility for this largely lies with the White House,” said Weiner. “They fed this story, they nurtured this story, they spread this story.” This was, in Weiner’s estimation, part of a “strategy by the nascent Bush administration to toss up as much dust and smoke about the Clinton administration to give themselves a soft landing. It makes good copy to say ‘Well, there’s a new sheriff in town, and we don’t vandalize offices.’ Well, neither did the preceding administration.”

According to the WaPo today, it did happen:

A government investigation, prompted by Bush administration charges that aides to President Bill Clinton vandalized the White House as they left, found at least $19,000 in damage but concluded it may have been typical of recent outgoing administrations.

The 217-page report was released yesterday by the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, capping a dispute that began in the first few days of the Bush administration when officials found evidence of pranks and vandalism.

Don’t expect Weiner to retract his faux outrage. He is onto something else, I am sure. Like Enron. Or ANWR. Or what Bush knew pre 9/11. Anything that will get a headline and obfuscate the truth and smear the Bush White House.
