Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

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

A consequence of cucumbers

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

White supremacy is terrorism.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

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

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

If This Is True (via DailyKos)

Then it is just downright disgusting. I have not seen the ad (won’t run on my puter for some reason), but any claim that a triple amputee from combat wounds is ‘afraid’ to lead is enough to make my blood boil. The Chambliss campaign should be embarassed if this is as bad as what the write-ups I have read have stated, and Georgia voters should give him a nice swift kick in the ballot box.

Although the Dems seem to monopolize bad taste, the Republicans have some serious jackasses of their own.

I would rather have Republicans in control of the Senate (despite their loathesome stands on a number of issues), but I can’t support candidates that stoop to this level.

***Update***

For an example of the kind of things about Republicans that drive me up the damned wall, check out this quote (via Eschaton):

Christian Coalition leaders fired up the faithful Friday with a pro-Israel rally and a pitch to renew the group’s power by rousting out the vote in November for conservative candidates.

Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., exhorted the crowd at the Washington Convention Center to vote liberals out of office.

“If you don’t do it, it ain’t gonna be done,” he said. “You will be doing the Lord’s work, and he will richly bless you for it.”

There are a lot of good reasons to support Israel and to vote liberals out of office. The Lord ain’t one of ’em.
