Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Consistently wrong since 2002

“Alexa, change the president.”

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

All hail the time of the bunny!

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

The revolution will be supervised.

Bush’s Kwanzaa Message Quit giggling.

Bush’s Kwanzaa Message

Quit giggling. I know the reason it is a text message is because he probably couldn’t pronounce Kwanzaa (or Nguzo Saba, for that matter). Here goes:

I send greetings to those celebrating Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa celebrates the traditional African values of unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. From December 26th to January 1st, people of African descent gather to renew their commitment to these seven principles, known as Nguzo Saba, and give thanks for the blessings of family, community, and culture. Kwanzaa is also a time for Africans and African-Americans to honor their common heritage by participating in events based on early harvest gatherings called matunda ya kwanza, or first fruits.

Kwanzaa, tradition since 1966. Who do you think had the job of first explaining to Bush what Kwanzaa was, and that, yes, because of the identity politics of the country, he did have to make a message to people who celebrate collectivist nonsense like ‘collective work and responsibility and cooperative economics.’ What the hell is cooperative economics?

At any rate, Happy Kwanzaa.
