Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Let me file that under fuck it.

White supremacy is terrorism.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Consistently wrong since 2002

Usually wrong but never in doubt

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

When we show up, we win.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

How stupid are these people?

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

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

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

IS this the Same Joe Lieberman?

Is this the same Holy Joe who sold all his values down the river to be a yes man for Al Gore? It can’t be.

The United States shouldn’t feel obligated to allow U.N. forces to play a role in stabilizing a postwar Iraq, presidential hopeful Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., said in Tucson yesterday.

“The U.N. truly lost its will in refusing to implement or enforce the resolution that it adopted,” Lieberman said, referring to the measure that required Iraq to disarm weapons of mass destruction.

“They can help us achieve what we want and share the costs, but I wouldn’t feel obligated to bring them in.”

The United States’ commitment to removing Saddam Hussein and its willingness to risk American lives has earned the United States the right to determine the fate of post-Saddam Iraq, Lieberman said.

That fate, ideally, would be the establishment of a democracy, but Lieberman said it will take time to reach that goal

But it is the same Joe. Well put, too.
