Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Let’s finish the job.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

This Is A Tragedy

From the NY Times:

Former Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a New York City shoe shine boy who became an iconoclastic scholar-politician and served four terms in the Senate, died Wednesday. He was 76.

The New York Democrat and former U.N. ambassador had been in ill health. He was hospitalized in January for an intestinal disorder, and again soon after for a back injury. His latest setback was an infection after an emergency appendectomy on March 11 at the Washington Hospital Center.

Sen. Moynihan was a decent, honorable man who thought before he spoke, said what he thought, and meant what he said. He will be sorely missed.

    I’ve never heard an unkind word said about Sen. Moynihan, from either side of the aisle. George F. Will’s column was especially eloquent.

    I remember when the senator told sam donaldson the president clinton should be impeached “if he lied to the grand jury”. then he proceeded to vote against impeachment. so much for his honesty.
