Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

In after Baud. Damn.

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

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Accountability, motherfuckers.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Cole is on a roll !

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

We’re not going back!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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

Dean Esmay on Democrat whining about Republican fundraising:

So. We’ll get to hear more handwringing from the whiners of the Left about how much more money Bush has than his Democratic challengers. But while you’re listening to this pathetic whining–and make no mistake, you’ll hear lots more of it over the next year or so—just remember: Democrats set the game up this way, and Bush handed them the rope by which they hung themselves.

It is truly deserving of unbridled contempt.

    Nice speech if it were true; but it mostly isn’t. The campaign finance law is largely set by the Supreme Court, which ruled in Buckley v Valeo that campaign contributions have 1st amendment protection. That undercuts most efforts at real reform, and reformers trying to work around it are forced to set up Goldbergesque contraptions that make marginal improvements at best.

    Buckley v. Valeo did not ‘set’ campaign finance law. It merely set the boundaries of what could be regulated. Choosing to regulate at all, and the recent resulting regulations were the creation of the arrogance of such losers as McCain and Feingold.
