Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

People are weird.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Innocent people do not delay justice.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

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

We still have time to mess this up!

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

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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.
