Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

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

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Scrappleface:

Daschle Announces Plan to ‘Have Ideas’
(2003-01-06) — In the Democrat response to President Bush’s weekly radio address, Sen. Tom Daschle, D-SD, announced a major break with the traditional methods of his party.

“In the coming weeks and months,” Sen. Daschle said, “Democrats will do more than just fight ideas that we think are wrong — we will propose policies we think are right.”

The Senator said he wasn’t sure where they would get these ideas, nor how to formulate policies, but “we’ll find out.”
