Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Come on, man.

White supremacy is terrorism.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The revolution will be supervised.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Second rate reporter says what?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

T R E 4 5 O N

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Was Franks Right?

From the Toronto Star, with the headline:

Franks’ military plan becoming clear: Phase 1 completed as general intended

Blocked by Turkey’s refusal to allow American troops to attack Iraq from its soil, Franks decided that Phase 1 of his campaign would be a bold thrust across the Kuwaiti border with his main combat power focused on getting as far into Iraq as possible before resting and resupplying his troops prior to taking on Baghdad’s defenders.

In the coming days, it might be that the only thing retreating faster than the Republican Guard will be ‘unnamed’ Pentagon sources and NY Times and WaPo ‘news’ writers.
