Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

This really is a full service blog.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

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

By now you have probably read the WaPo article by Tom Ricks on our enemy, the House of Saud. If you have not read it, go read it. I will wait.

My first impression while reading it was a big “No Screaming Eagle Shit!” I did, however, enjoy this quote:

Asked for reaction, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, said he did not take the briefing seriously. “I think that it is a misguided effort that is shallow, and not honest about the facts,” he said. “Repeating lies will never make them facts.”

Think about it. Repeating lies will never make them facts. What kind of lies?

Lies like this one, about the blood libel?

Or these lies about Jews poisoning fountains during the bubonic plague. That only got about 20 thousand Jews murdered.

Or maybe this one, about Jewish control of the United States Congress?

Or how bout one of my favorties, the ‘Jews run the media.’

Or more recently, the good old Jenin massacre. Oops. Can’t really call it a massacre, can we, since it never happened. Didn’t stop Saudi television from raising 100 million in a telethon to distribute to Palestinian terrorists and the families of suicide bombers, though.

Or virtually any of the bile that these putrid bastards spew any day that Charles Johnson is able to collect and document every day? Why are we dealing with these scum?
