Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The willow is too close to the house.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The revolution will be supervised.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

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

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

More Fun for the Democrats

According to this article, there are more troubling times ahead for the Democrats:

Nearly four months after unexpected election losses prompted a reevaluation of their priorities, congressional Democrats are conflicted over their party’s direction, deeply divided over Iraq and struggling to agree on a domestic agenda.

Senate Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) have encountered difficulty rallying the party behind a unified attack on President Bush, particularly with the party so split over whether the nation should go to war against Iraq with limited international support. Four Democrats from the Senate and two from the House are running for president, testing their own ideas and sapping attention from party leaders in Washington.

“You’re always going to have discord when you have this many people running and trying to get their message out,” said Pelosi’s spokesman, Brendan Daly. “We are trying to build unity and consensus.”

Not to mention putting a left face on everything, with Pelosi in the House and Hillary, Teddy, and Leahy essentially running the Senate, there are a number of internal inconsistencies that are going to hamper the Democrats for a while. I like the Democrats in disarray, but c’mon guys- there needs to be an EFFECTIVE check on Republicans. Not just bitching and moaning and strident statements.
