Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“But what about the lurkers?”

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Someone take a second, go over to the Daily Kos, and please explain the difference to Steve between the International Criminal Court and the Belgian practice of charging anyone, anywhere, and claiming to have jurisdiction. He is confused, again.

    Steve Gillard is just an idiot. I don’t understand how you can keep saying Kos is worthy of respect when he has this chowderhead continually posting on his site. Look at his column on the SCOTUS from a few days back…

    “I’ll still hold to my prediction — no Supreme Court vacancies until we have an elected president in the White House.”

    Steven Den Beste’s take on this is good:

    Amusing to think that ole “unsophisticated” Rumsfeld might be playing the clever Belgians this thoroughly, particularly while watching the veins stick out of the necks of the usual suspects.

    As for Daily Kos, it’s all part of the Sore Loser Chorus, now going strong for two and a half years. Nothing new to see there.
