Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

White supremacy is terrorism.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Consistently wrong since 2002

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

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

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

Let there be snark.

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

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

The Funny French

This is hysterical:

France has announced it could assist any US-led military coalition if Iraq uses chemical and biological weapons.

The turnaround comes after strong French opposition to a war in Iraq, including threats to veto a UN Security Council resolution paving the way for armed conflict.

French ambassador Jean-David Levitte said: “If Saddam Hussein were to use chemical and biological weapons, this would change the situation completely and immediately for the French government.”

How could they use chemical weapons? I thought that he had none, and that the inspections were working. He has disarmed, and this is only a unilateral war for oil and for global hegemony. Or revenge for Dubya’s daddy? I am so confused.
