Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

It’s a doggy dog world.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

A consequence of cucumbers

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

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

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

The willow is too close to the house.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

    What? I thought that was Helen Thomas? Or Mark Morford?

    “important columnist” is a contradiction in terms. Most people don’t care about opinion columns, which would seem to limit the amount of importance someone who writes a few paragraphs every few days for a newspaper can have.

    David Broder is the dean of columnists (and I personally don’t like the guy, so there goes any claim of partisanship).

    No columnist that is so overtly partisan will likely be taken seriously as “important”.

    Krugman is Eleanor Clift with with an economic resume’.

    Of course he’s the most important columnist in America. He never, under any circumstances, says anything a partisan liberal Democrat would disagree with.

    Such naivete. It doesn’t matter whether “most people” care what major columnists say. Agenda setters, the people who have influence in setting policy, do. Paul Krugman is a columnist agenda setters read.

    Obviously, Mac Diva, because everything Krugman writes comes true.

    Oh.. what’s that? It doesn’t!? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
