Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

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

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

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

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

This fight is for everything.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

The revolution will be supervised.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Robert Scheer seems to be claiming that he is an idiot, a liar, and now a victim:

It is one thing when the talk-show bullies who shamelessly smeared the last president, even as he attacked the training camps of Al Qaeda, now term it anti-American or even treasonous to dare criticize the Bush administration. When our Pentagon, however

    John-

    The question should be, “Did the Pentagon play fast and loose with the facts in the Jessica Lynch case?” instead of worrying about whether or not Scheer is whining too much.

    Not to take anything away from Lynch- she’s a brave kid and a credit to her uniform.

    Never mind that one of the left’s biggest names continues to lie through his teeth, the Pentagon “played fast and loose with the facts” as he claims! Except, his claims don’t check out. Er, okay.

    Actually, I’m pretty agnostic about what happened. I wasn’t there. But the release of only edited videotape makes me suspicious. I use to work in the broadcasting industry: you can make day into night with a few good edits.

    But like I said: Jessica Lynch is still a brave kid. Nobody I’ve read has said any different.

    Scheer does a nice political rant… Just one thing, though… Where’s Mr. Scheer’s tangible evidence and/or proof of such a lame accusation? All I see here is ten pounds of air.
