Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Nothing worth doing is easy.

This fight is for everything.

In my day, never was longer.

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

Interesting

This story on Congress and Spam is generally unremarkable, but I did find the byline interesting:

Congress Finds Rare Unity in Spam, to a Point By JENNIFER 8. LEE

Wasn’t there a movie named Jennifer 8? Was this reporter who it was based on? Or did the reporter take the name after the movie? Or, in some weird cosmic coincidence, are there two naturally occurring Jennifer 8’s?

    You’re 2 years behind the curve on this one:
    “Turns out Jennifer just has very cool parents! They wanted to give her a unique name, Jennifer Lee being very popular. So 8. it was.”

    I wish I had a numeral for a middle name.
