Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Innocent people do not delay justice.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

This really is a full service blog.

I really should read my own blog.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

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.
