Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Let’s finish the job.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Democracy, Whiskey, and Sexy

Via Sullivan, this quote in the NY Times:

In the giddy spirit of the day, nothing could quite top the wish list bellowed out by one man in the throng of people greeting American troops from the 101st Airborne Division who marched into town today. What, the man was asked, did he hope to see now that the Baath Party had been driven from power in his town? What would the Americans bring? “Democracy,” the man said, his voice rising to lift each word to greater prominence. “Whiskey. And sexy!”

Works for me.
