Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

The willow is too close to the house.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Second rate reporter says what?

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

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

In my day, never was longer.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Sheesh… Ted Barlow is back

Sheesh…

Ted Barlow is back and blogging ferociously, and he is willing to ignore Roger Ailes’s charge that Bush is engaging in mail fraud by having Christmas Cards stamped from Crawford but mailed from Austin because of logistical difficulties (I know- yawn). However, in order to preserve his lefty credentials, Ted notes:

Roger argues that this is mail fraud, while a commentator disagrees. I don’t know. But logically, it makes about as much sense as postmarking your Christmas cards from your time-share condo.

C’mon, Ted. That is the best you can do? I might note that unlike some previous occupants of the White House, when Bush says he is going home for the Holidays, at least he has an idea of which state he is referring to, and that he actually owns a house and property in said state. I won’t mention who those previous homeless occupants were, though, because I would hate to be a right-wing wingnut or whatever the ad hominem of the day is.
