Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

We still have time to mess this up!

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Infrastructure week. at last.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Let there be snark.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Jamaican Me Crazy, Harry! (via Drudge)

Singer Harry Belafonte said on Friday he stands by remarks likening Secretary of State Colin Powell to a plantation slave who is “serving his master well” but insisted he never meant to defame the former general.

“This was not a personal attack on Colin Powell,” Belafonte said in a statement issued through his New York-based publicist. “However … speaking on behalf of so many African American citizens, I have found Colin Powell to be a tragic failure.”

Open mouth, insert foot.

Repeat until out of credibility.
