Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The ‘Elite’ Republican Guard

From Reuters and IOL:

United States Marines seized a key bridge over the Tigris river in central Iraq on Wednesday and took control of the main Highway 6 from Kut to Baghdad, a senior Marine officer said.

“That’s the last big bridge we needed for an advance on Baghdad,” the officer told Reuters correspondent Sean Maguire near Kut. “This was the plan. It’s been successful.”

“Today’s action is a major move. There’s still tank battles continuing,” the officer added, saying the Baghdad Division of Iraq’s Republican Guard, based at Kut, was now “irrelevant”.
