Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

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

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

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Not all heroes wear capes.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

Carol Moseley-Braun, Al Sharpton, and Dennis Kucinich, all in one primary season. Nancy Pelosi running the House Dems. Terry McAuliffe in charge of the DNC. Hillary Clinton, Tom Daschle, Robert Byrd, and Ted Kennedy running the Democrat side of the Senate.

Rice in 2008!

*** Update ***

This WaPo story details some of the ‘deep thinking’ from four of the Democrat Presidential candidates:

Edwards called Hussein “a serious threat” who “must be disarmed” with military force if necessary. “It is a belief that is a principled belief for me,” he said.

From there, however, he shifted gears and denounced Bush’s general approach to foreign policy. “The problem is he has no vision,” Edwards said. “He has no notion of what to do about the underlying problems, the underlying disease. If he’s allowed to continue on this course, we will live in a world where generation after generation of people hate us.”

Translation: Clinton, Jr. agrees with Bush but thinks Bush is wrong.

This is going to be a great year.
