Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Their shamelessness is their super power.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Second rate reporter says what?

It’s the corruption, stupid.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

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

Why does everyone in the

Why does everyone in the Granola Mafia talk like this:

These comments are from William Quick’s comments board, and are so funny they need to be reproduced:

The republicanspeak corporatist propaganda engines can weave their web of disinformation, distortion, and lie, and cite polls buttressing their spin and work to refract the seriousness of the many abuses of Bush and his obscenely rich and greedy corporatist cronies,- but the truth will not be silenced for long. There are far too many terrible questions yet to be answered. This is America. The people have a constitutionally protected right to dissent, to ask questions, and to demand answers from our supposed leadership. Bush and his imperialist cronies will be held accountable for their misdeeds. Unless this imposter and his clan of pathological liars has bin Laden’s head on a plate before the next election, – Bush can forget about stealing another presidency. The enormity and incestuousness of the republicanspeak corporatist machine and their web of lies, collusion, disinformation, and malfeasance is so thick and sticky; it will eventually smother them in their own filth. You can rely on polls and spin, – I will trust the truth.

Tony Foresta

The loon left his email over at Quick’s site. Feel free to email him and provide him with another opportunity to dissent. Just don’t dare ask him to tell you one right of yours that has been eroded within the last two years. He might melt down.
