Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

In my day, never was longer.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Let me file that under fuck it.

“They all knew.”

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Norah Vincent is Sorry

No one, not even the most vile partisan hack, would succumb to the temptation to sully Memorial Day with political agitprop over the conflict in Iraq. At least you would think that. You would be wrong. I don’t have the energy for a full frontal fisking, so I will just post her remarks and then respond the best I can:

We will and should say thank you a million times over to our veterans, as well as to those now serving overseas.

But in light of recent disasters like the one currently devolving in Iraq

    I would comment more but that is hard to do whilst vomiting over such useless twaddle.

    And, to borrow a recently used phrase to respond to Norah … not in my name!

    MB hasn’t forgotten how to spell those words, she just won’t dignify that pile of merde. That “alleged person” is just not worthy of recognition.

    By the way moron- I have never liked Norah- I remember her once saying something nasty about Krugman, which pleased me, and I think I used to haver her blog linked, but I haven’t for ages. I know- research is not your specialty- you should stick to conspiracy and innuendo.

    It’s Swelling Already

    John Cole says Norah Vincent is sorry for her nauseating remarks besmirching the purpose of Memorial Day. Well, if she wasn’t before, she will be if she ever sees what he left her. And the new category swells already….
