Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Who Was Politicizing Homeland Security?

Who Was Politicizing Homeland Security?

Synopsis:

Dems claim Bush is politicizing Homeland Security.

Dems get it handed to them in the election, in part because voters think Republicans are better on National Security issues.

Homeland Security, as the President wanted it, appears close to passage.

Again, who was playing politics?

*** Update ***

A reader asks why I say only Democrats were playing politics. I say this, because this is what Bush and company have wanted from the get-go. Dems, if they were acting on principle and not because of polls, would continue their opposition. Changing your position because you lost an election is not standing on principle.
