Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

I was promised a recession.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

It’s the corruption, stupid.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

He really is that stupid.

The willow is too close to the house.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

This blog will pay for itself.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Why Didn’t I think Of That?

“More cooperation with Pakistan.”

Four words. After spending ten minutes haranguing the Bush administration tonight on Hardball for ‘dropping the ball on Al Qaeda’ and ‘not finishing them off,’ that was John Kerry’s response when Matthews asked him what he would do differently in the war on terror.

Possible 2004 Kerry Campaign slogans:

“My ideas fit on bumper stickers.”

-or-

“If you thought Bush was dumb and liked it, why not try really dumb?”

    Hell, I like John Kerry probably more than the next guy, but you’re right – that is stupid.

    Mayybe he meant “more cooperation with Pakistan’s nuclear program, so that India pre-emptively strikes them and eliminates their WMD supplies.” Or “more cooperation with Pakistan’s efforts to build a time machine, so we can go back in time and stop their intelligence agency from funding and arming the Taliban.”
